Not too surprising considering they were obviously building on a new saga with Prime 4, but it's welcome news to anyone not willing to wait 18 years for another one lol.

Also great way to flex the Switch 2 muscles this time around without the limitation of the Switch.

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.

I hope it improves upon Prime 4, and is much scarier too. The Grievers are pretty terrifying, but not as bad as Dark Samus or Ridley.

Man I gotta say, while I am enjoying FF7 Rebirth as the combat, production values, music, etc are all excellent, holy moly they weren't kidding when they said it has a lot of padding.

I'm 7 hours in and despite pretty much mainlining the critical story path and avoiding side activities, apparently I'm only like 20% of the way through the story so far. They really could have cut down a bit on some of the cutscenes and minigames, I played for an hour and a half tonight and barely progressed the story just cos I spent so much of that time churning through filler.

Still a good game, but I hope Part 3 is more streamlined.

Yeah this is actually a big part of why I avoided Rebirth back in 2024. Seeing the HLTB time, I had no interest in sinking over 100hr into a franchise I know next to nothing about. I’m hoping to get around to it prior to Revelations, though unsure when.

Still no confirmation on whether or not we're getting a Direct this coming week.

Surprised it took so long to be revealed after Crash Bandicoot's big comeback with Crash 4.
