Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch
FINALLY! Looking forward to this one!
By saying just “2025” this solidifies in my mind that this will be the cross gen game that launches with the Switch 2 around April or May or whatever.
Given the lack of noticeable aliasing in this trailer I wouldn't be surprised if this footage is being run off Switch 2 hardware. Things to my eye look significantly sharper than what we've been getting from the switch.
This looks about comparable to the remaster from earlier, which looked incredible for a Switch game. The trailer looked nice but definitely not what we would expect from something on the level of a PS4. I don't see a reason to doubt that the footage was the game running on Switch.
But the fact that people are debating if this is Switch 2 footage speaks volumes about Retro Studio's skill. Jaw-dropping graphics for a Switch game.
Digital Foundry made a pretty convincing case that it's running on current switch hardware: https://www.ign.com/articles/was-metroid-prime-4-running-on-switch-2. That being said, a cross-generation release wouldn't be out of character for Nintendo.
I think too, that this will be a cross-gen game. But the Switch 2 will be released in fall next year, and it will be announced in spring, at least 6 months earlier.
That’s certainly a possibility. I just have this feeling that Nintendo doesn’t have any other games than what they showed us in this direct to fill up a whole extra year. Of course, that’s just a feeling.
And I feel like they may follow the Switch playbook where they show off the console in December - probably during the game awards or (ugh) on Jimmy Fallon like they did last time. Then launch in four to six months with Metroid.
I was so hyped when I saw it, can't wait to play it. I really hope that it will be for Switch (please don't be for Switch 2).
Hopefully if it is for switch 2, they'd have a switch version as well
I don't think they'd have announced the weaker version of the game first. The first preview of the game would have been from the best possible version they have to show off, so this trailer is probably exactly that. I think it's unlikely that this will be a dual-release game.
Which makes me worry for the success of the game. Having what should be a cornerstone game for the Switch being released on year 8 of the console's life span is not a good look. I want this to be good; I've been wanting this game ever since I finished Metroid Prime 3 back in 2007, I just hope it's not too late to still find success.
The website is very clear that it's a Switch game
That would be a valid point if Nintendo never delayed games or changed plans
I wonder if it coming out in 2025 means there's still a chance we see Prime 2 and 3 Remasters on Switch, Maybe for Christmas 2024?
2 could use a remake, if only to finish polishing the dark world. I'm pretty sure it was just a "copy-paste, delete all the plants, make everything purple, and throw a couple rocks around" job. It deserved better.
I really hope so, as I have never played the original Prime trilogy, and want to play them all before 4. Have been meaning to play Metroid Prime Remake, but without any news of Remake of 2 and 3, or MP 4, wasn't prioritizing it, but going to play the first one soon now.
Hope they release the 2 and soon.
I've been playing MP3 for the first time lately and I'm excited for this next entry! I'm glad to see they have seemingly introduced a new nemesis, as dark Samus was getting a little old IMO
I thought this was some sort of joke about how long its been since a new Prime game has come out, its Metroid Prime 3 not mp3 💀
Wow that's a terrible trailer. They could put a bit of effort into it
I know why you are getting downvoted, but you are right.
The trailer didn't really show anything and it was the same engine they used for the previous remakes so it looks like "more of the same" in a bad way (just because it's the same engine doesn't mean it has to look exactly the same).I hope the next trailer looks better and the gameplay to be a fun experience because this game will have people overhypping themselves so much that nothing will reach what they wish for.
It's not what the trailer shows, it's how it's showing it. It's just a slide show of things happening. Fade transitions. Awkward cuts between shots. Almost nothing in sync with the music. The release date is stitched to the end as another clip. The villain's theme just starts playing while the music is still going. Shows the date and location in the beginning as if it's going to be story related, then just shows gameplay until the end..
It's called a "teaser"
It's called "bad editing"
over under, silk song releasing compared to prime 4
I hope we get a surprise Metroid Prime Hunters Remaster before this because I have no idea who the villain is.
You think your fun playing MP4 will be diminished due to not knowing who Sylux is in advance?
It's happening!!
Wow the new saints row looks awesome
Metroid Pinball 99 anyone?
Despict being happy to see a new MP entry, I'm surprised by the lack difference between this and the remaster.
I kind of hate seeing things like this because I know I don't have the attention span to justify buying a switch I really wish they could just do a computer storefront already heck an official nintendo steam deck would probably sell like the wii
You lack the attention span to buy a switch? What?
I bought a ps4 and waited in line for the midnight release and it gathered dust super fast I think I got 100 hours on it before I just moved back to pc only out of habit, I was having fun and enjoyed the games I had so it makes me worry that I'd do the dane with a switch
Oh y'all cool with Nintendo again?
