Fans Uncover Unused Dialogue From Metroid Prime 4

Myles, they could never make me hate you

I’m early in the game, but there’s a point where he’s like, “We can team up if you want?” and I really thought it was a point where the developers were about to give you a choice to tell him to leave you alone.

Instead, Samus nods and forces you to work together.

Oh well, he’s not great, but not as bad as some reviewers have said.

I've not read the review yet (I'm a weirdo about possible spoilers), but I agree Myles is bothersome when I just want to drive around on my bike. Otherwise, I've quite enjoyed the dialogue so far.

"Myles & More"
Frequent-chatter program!

Thanks for sharing this! I love behind-the-scenes looks at media.

I don't mind him and usually find him amusing, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "I wish he had more dialogue."

Uh oh. Don’t let Alex know or the score is gonna get adjusted!!

There are times when a new objective appears on the map, and the next time you open the map it forces the map to pan to that location for a moment before relinquishing control. It takes about five seconds, and it's not that big a deal.

MacKenzie, when he radios in, takes about that long to say his line and he's gone. The game doesn't pause; control is never taken from the player; it barely counts as an interruption of any kind. It's far less annoying than what was already a minor inconvenience with the map objectives, yet it's all some people want to talk about.

Certain people decided months before the game came out that it would be terrible, and there's no changing their minds. Play it for yourself if you're interested. I think it's a great game.

I just beat the crab boss in the frozen lab area, but Myles hasn't really bothered me yet. I actually like the Federation troopers, gives the game some more personality. Actually makes me want to go back and play Other M after this haha.

Wait, I'm confused.
If you hear this dialogue by listening in on the conversations in Fury Green, wouldn't that mean they're present in the game?
Or by "listening in", do they mean checking the game's files?

A poorly written character that completely breaks immersion. The developers seem seriously out of touch for thinking he would be a good addition to the game.

Here's hoping for a dlc that adds more Myles chatter and scenes so we can get a deeper dive into his lore!

Myles has in NO WAY been a hindrance to the quality of the game, nor has he even come close to being the "Nuisance" that so many reviewers claimed him to be. As a matter of fact NONE of the Federation troops are intrusive at all. Don't listen to the clamoring minority and play the game, then decide for yourself.

Thirty whole minutes of unused voiceover content. On top of everything weird with this game... seriously, what happened during development?

@Sebos you can smell the development hell through every location of the game.

After 10 hours playing the game (I really enjoy exploring and scanning everything), I have probably talked to Myles for like, I don't know, 15 minutes?? And most of it when you meet him. I really don't understand all the hate, the guy is just there, almost like a machine in older Metroid games, telling you where to go next (which happens in EVERY game, even the first Prime), and helping you upgrading some stuff from time to time. That's it.
Why is the Internet so mad at this guy, I wonder?

@TripleJump confused me as well, but I presume that's what it would have been in game. I haven't watched the video as don't want to risk any type of spoilers

He`s not nearly as bad as the other troopers.

@GoldenSunRM Can you?? I honestly can't. I'm enjoying it so much I don't care how the development was. It's a cracking game!

@8bit-Man Based on this comment, I already know two things: that you haven't played the game, and you don't know what immersion even is.
Immersion is the feeling of being connected to the fictional world you are engaging with. Part of that is learning to care about the people in that world. This game accomplishes that pretty well I think. By the end of the game, I cared for each of the GF troopers that you partner up with, more than any other character (aside from Samus) in the entire Metroid series, even Mackenzie, because despite being socially awkward, he means well and does his best to help you, since you're ultimate goal is to help him and the others get back home... But you wouldn't know any of that if all you've seen of him is that brief cutscene of him talking to himself in the jungle.

Myles MacKenzie will return...

The Other M = Myles

All jokes aside...talk about the biggest exaggeration...Myles was not that annoying. Prime 4 flawed & dated game design is more annoying than Myles.

@OldManHermit I'm just imagining you walking up to Higgins and saying "Remember me?" xD

@the_beaver i'm not even talking about the quality, if you're having fun with it I'm genuinely happy for you.
It's just that the entire game feels like random ideas put togheter without much cohesion.

Every location is self contained.

The desert feels like it was put with glue to connect everything, the bike barely has any unique and interesting use and feels like an afterthought and the story, without spoiling too much since you have not finished it from what I understand, feels like 2 different stories from 2 different games that were fused togheter, both of them barely touched (I could go into more depth but don't want to spoil anything to you).

The entire base camp felt the same to me. From the way it present itself it felt like something that would have had more importance to the overall game, but you need to go there just for the Cannon Upgrade.

Probably the original Prime 4 was a completely different game and when Retro came in, they tried to stick togheter the game they wanted to make and the material the previous studio made.

Of course this is 100% speculation of my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

My biggest annoyance with the talking NPCs isn’t the characters themselves but the fact that Samus doesn’t speak back. I imagine the backlash to Other M is why they muzzled her in this game but it just makes interactions so awkward and unintentionally funny at times. If they were going to go so heavy on the dialogue then just have her speak or don’t bother having other characters that show up so frequently. I’m not that interested in the story in Metroid games but if they want to go heavy on it then at least do it in a way that isn’t so jarring.

@GoldenSunRM I agree. The desert was my least favorite part of the game, especially since I was hunting for all the green crystals. I spent more time on that motorcycle than I ever would have wanted, and it only paid off for two boss fights, but when they're over, you're back to driving through the desert on a Harley. I would have rather had a teleporter that travels between the areas, they would have felt just as connected as they do now.

I thought Myles was fine and didn't find him annoying. Honestly my biggest issue is that Samus is still an emotionless robot, before she used to have inner monologues or thoughts like she did in Super Metroid or Fusion. Now she's completely silent and I feel it's an over correction Nintendo made after the poor reception of Other M.

Finished it on Sunday, loved the tough boss fights and the Ice Belt, the other stuff was just okay or outright bad (Looking at you, green crystals. What is actually your purpose story-wise? Making the tree happy?)

I will probably replay Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Dread and Metroid Prime Remastered several times before touching MP4 again, if at all. Such a waste of potential, it’s sad.

@FX29 She even spoke directly to Adam in Fusion. She was only ever mute in games because she didn’t have anybody to speak to, it should have never been a controversial decision to have her talk in games where it made sense to. Definitely an overcorrection for Other M which is misjudged- it wasn’t the fact that she spoke in that game that annoyed people, it was the writing itself.

@GoldenSunRM Yeah, ok, I understand your point. The thing is that so far I haven't felt the mess you talk about, but maybe I will as I get more into the game (I'm done with the frozen region now).
Hopefully not. So far it's a solid 9/10 for me! I'm playing on Switch 2.
