Metroid Prime 4 - What are we waiting 4?

I'm just excited for it whoever's developing it. I imagine there'll be a closer quality watch kept on it this time too.

This Retro might be talented but it's not the same Retro to be excited about, is what I'm just saying. We wouldn't be if it was announced RARE is doing Banjo Three would we.

True but my previous point that they weren't selected to placate the fan base still stands, the studio has history with the series and regardless of the few who have moved on they will know what worked and what didn't for the previous entries. Not to mention Nintendo liked their demo pitch and considering their design philosophy that couldn't have been easy.

Also this.

I'd've given it to Yacht Club myself!

I wouldn't worry about all this too much - yes, it's going to be a bit delayed, but there's something decent about a company coming out and saying "look, this isn't working". It's not necessarily an alarm bell; sometimes it's good to realise - early on - that things are going down the wrong path. Resident Evil 4 had about 20 re-writes.

I'm not sure, my original answer would have been to involve some of the Dark Souls team but word on the street was that they were involved originally and look how that turned out . . .

I'm just happy to know Nintendo really care about this game and are committed to doing MP justice.

I've got the real truth about why the earlier version of MP4 was scrapped!

Top work there Drunka.

I couldn't decide whether that one about the devs working silly hours was a dig at Rockstar or Japanese working culture in general. It works either way!

Its both. Its all jobs. Fuck jobs. Never shit on your time, never sweat on theirs.

Oh Mr. Summerhayes! Don't ever stop.

My own conspiracy theory is that they hadn't actually started working on it until now, and have pretended to get rid of an "older one that wasn't any good" to cover a bit of a fib. It's like homework.

I definitely think that we're going to find out that Retro's been twiddling their thumbs the entire time.

Top writing from Drunka there, as expected. Poor shiba inu, dumped in the cupboard with a new father. The smell of baby must be unbearable.

Not the same cupboard. We don't want to encourage fraternising during work hours.
