I’m very curious about a potential Metroid Prime 5, in part because I always want more Metroid but also because I need some hard evidence if Retro still has the talent to deliver a great game.
The charitable interpretation of Prime 4 (and the one I’m inclined to believe) is that Bandai Namco established a faulty foundation that Retro was unable to change. But I’m not entirely sure. Excluding ports and remasters, the studio hasn’t made a great game in 12 years. It’s very difficult to maintain high standards over such a long period of time.
