Metroid Prime 4 won't be developed by Retro Studios and i'm okay with that.

I don't understand how there are actually people out there who want Retro to make another 2D platformer... We already have Yoshi and Kirby, let's please not make the same mistake as on the Wii U where most games were just 2D platformers...

And I loved Tropical Freeze, for what it's worth.

That's interesting and could mean not that Retro is working on Eternal Darkness 2!

One can dream...

ED is one of my favorite games on the GCN, real Lovecraft vibes that one.

Yeah that's what I thought. They're the DK crew at this point, we don't need any bananas in space.

Several of the Retro developers that worked on the MP games left the company and formed Armature that worked on the ReCore game (that I believe kind of flopped...). So I don't mind them giving it to a new developer and with Prime in the name it will probably be directed by Nintendo to follow the older games. Makes me wonder though what type of game Retro is developing with so long in the development cycle and not a peep to what it is.

"Six years later several of the key minds behind the Prime series, including director Mark Pacini, left to found a new studio called Armature."

They might be the ones developing Prime 4, but it's probably a team more closely to Nintendo like Next Level Games or something like that. Oh and Retro? They are probably developing DKCR 3 which is great but I prefer a new IP.

It's not like they're trying a new concept or anything.

Neither did Prime Hunters and it wasn't anywhere near Metroid Prime quality.

I think the team knows the pedigree that created the Prime Trilogy and they'll work their asses off to create a comparable product. I think Retro themselves might not be as inspired to best their own work. Plus...we still have no idea what Retro is working on and for the first time I'm not that worried. They're free to go wherever they want and I won't have the same initial rejection of the titles the same way I couldn't help but feel with DKCR and DKTF (the latter which I still haven't played).
