Very few studios on the planet are capable of delivering games on par with Prime 1-3. If Retro were done then Prime 4 would be bad; it isn't, not remotely, it's still a well made and enjoyable 8.5/10 game.

Whether it's bad or not is up for debate. I think it's awful. You don't. But regardless, it's clear they've slipped from MP1. That game was the FPS of that generation, imo. Halo had it beat with local multiplayer, sure. But MP1 beat it in every other way. A masterpiece. MP4 is not a masterpiece.

99.99% of all games are not masterpieces, and the best game from most devs isn't their latest one. If a dev makes one of the best games ever made, as Retro did with Prime 1, the odds that they'll continue topping it over and over again forever are slim to none.

For my money Nintendo's best game ever was Mario Galaxy back in 2007 and Capcom's best ever was RE4 in 2005, but that doesn't mean everything they've done since was a fail.

Metroid Prime is not even a FPS anyway. It was first Person Metroid. Most of that game is solving puzzles and exploring. It's Super Metroid in FP. It's a FPA. The word masterpiece needs to be eradicated from gamer culture. They keep using that word not knowing what it means. I don't like MP2 much but MP3 was amazing. Many consider Tropical Freeze one of the best Platformers from Nintendo. Retro is as good as they ever been period. Comparing them with the downfall of Rare is a hyperbole.
