Re: Feature: 6 Things We'd Love To See In Metroid Prime 4

“Resolve the Sylux Cliffhanger, But Quickly?Hell no, flesh out Sylux and make him a stable character. Dark Samus is fine, but she was defeated in MP3, it’s Ridley that’s always coming back.
Slide and Melee abilities from Dread sounds nice, but it better not mean that they add a sprint mechanic.
And you want isolation In and an AI companion? So you want Halo then?
If there’s anything i want them to take from Halo, after a fully fleshed out single player, is a fully fleshed out online multiplayer. Feds v Pirates feat. Hunters. And gunship control.
And at this point I don’t believe it’ll be a Switch game, or at least, they’re better off leaving MP4 for Nintendo’s next-gen console.

Re: Talking Point: After Pixel Remaster, What's Next For Final Fantasy On Switch?

I’m all for any game that takes place in Ivalice, new or old. The best FF games (and Vagrant Story) take place there.

But it feels like a missed opportunity for SE to not have brought FF Explorers to the Switch already.

But Yoshida‘s recent lie "Nobody said a word about a PC version releasing… Don't worry about that, buy a PS5…”
(SE literally had “also available on PC” at the end of the reveal trailer)
it leaves a bad taste.

Re: Talking Point: So, When Will Nintendo Announce Its Next Console?

locky-mavo

At the earliest they’ll announce late 2023 and launch mid/ late 2024.
But it more likely an announcement early 2024, release late 2024/ early 2025.

And I don’t believe Metroid Prime 4 on Switch is a priority anymore, it maybe a cross-gen launch like BotW was, but if the jump in console power is significant enough, they’ll drop a potential “Switch version”.

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2022 Is Elden Ring

locky-mavo

The only awards I didn't agree with was OST & RPG, Elden Ring and Xenoblade had a way better OST than GoW. As for RPG, why was Elden Ring a nominee? It really was the odd one out compared to the other nominees, and imo ER should have been in the Action/Adventure category.

Re: Microsoft Enters "10-Year Commitment To Bring Call Of Duty To Nintendo"

It’s a smart and hilarious business move by MS to make the ABK buyout happen.

And yet many are missing the point that MS have said they’re committing to bringing COD to Nintendo consoles, not specifically the Switch.
So by the time the buyout happens, Nintendo may have already moved on to developing games for their next console and there very well may not be any of this “watered down ports” talk.

Re: Former Retro Studios Dev Reveals "Rejected" Wii Pitch Metroid Tactics

There’s also the one where, before it became Federation Force, NextLevel was making a “pretty straightforward multiplayer deathmatch”. “That was like a standalone version of the multiplayer modes in Metroid Prime Hunters.”

Hopefully the “could have been’s” still have a chance to become the “could be’s”.
Especially when we’ve now got great tactical games like Mario+Rabbids.
