Both are stellar developers known for really pushing hardware and making great games.

Metroid Prime 3 and DKCR didn't push the hardware, and metascores of 87 and 90 are not stellar.

Let's face it, they're known for ONE game - Metroid Prime - which was both stellar and pushed the hardware. Most key staff had left after Prime or Prime 2. They're living on a memory.

There you are putting negative spin on things. Let's face it. You really only like very limited things and rest of the stuff is there for you to look down on. Very serious person for a pony fan.

That's why we love him :). Someone had to take over the "VGChartz Grumpy Old Man" post after Khuutra left.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Metroid Prime 3 and DKCR still better than uncharted :)

I've been here a while so i understand what you mean. It is just too much at times. I don't mean him disrespect as he does contribute to the discussions but i've barely ever seen him like anything.

No, I disagree. I would argue that Prime 2 is the only disappointment (relatively speaking) from them since they accomplished greatness with the original. Aside from the Galaxies, no Wii games look or run nearly as good or are as supremely polished as Prime 3 or DKCR, IMO.

Retro studios essentially had to fill in for Rare, which was always going to be tough on them. They're not the most prolific bunch, but they pulled off Metroid Prime nicely.

Prime 3 was a bit of a step down though for me, it just seemed to be going through the motions. Still looking forward to seeing what they've been working on! Hopefully Nintendo lets them do something ambitious.

Overrated if you ask me.
