It would have been impossible to get done correctly on the GC and the idea of getting it done within a year would have made it a pretty poor game. That being said, another reason why it probably didn't go forward at that point would have been it being so close to the last time Samus was on a spaceship/station was Metriod Fusion which came just around the time of the original Prime, with its own AI more or less telling the players what to do.

Oh well, imagine if it was released, sucked and cause a design change in a game like Portal so as to not be accused of ripping it off. Nightmare world people.

Believe it or not, but Prime and Fusion came out the same day in November 2002.

The story just does not fit with the substance of Phazon, Retro Studios must have relised that the story of Phazon had more potential.

Only in North America though, but because you're American it is a correct fact in your region.
