The EG review mentions that graphics get a boost at 60fps, so that's how I'll be playing as well, whenever I get around to buying MP4. 120fps is nice, but I don't think it's neccessairy for a Metroid Prime game.
I find the rumour that the game was split into MP4 and MP5 because Retro was too ambitious to be hard to believe. Would Nintendo really risk developing both games simultaneously in a franchise that was never a top seller and has been dormant for nearly 2 decades? If so I highly anticipate F-zero GY and GZ, to release in 2027 and 2029.
Have you tried mouse mode or HDR on vs off?You can play 120fps portably.
They've kept making Metroid games though and have left Fzero to die since GX.I think its more likely that the pitch from Retro was too ambitious and Nintendo told them to scale it back. And then to work excess stuff into a future game.
So maybe Prime 4 was in active production while a smaller team was simultaneosly doing pre-production on Prime 5, story, art, engine testing?
Gg, i had no time to check out any of that stuff because it was early in the morning before work. Now I'm tired and a little cranky.
It will be another eight hours before I can get to the game again though,
Regarding the Prime 5 rumors, we have heard this before, at least a year ago. It was rumored to be a much more vertical game.
This Nash Weedle fellow is Spanish and seems to have an informant in the Metroid Dread side of things, Spanish studio I believe. He's hit and miss in the past but more right recently.
Its almost 6pm and Prime 4 still hasnt come. Its been this way for a couple of years now.
Whats the point of next day delivery or prime when nothing shows up till 7:30pm?
By the time a game arrives Im so tired or pissed of I dont even want to start playing a new game.
I need to shower and eat and other stuff.
Is it time?
How long ago was it when that Metroid Prime 4 ad went up?
August?

Hello Metroid fans. What you all think so far. This is one weird Metroid game. Did first two keys, very linear, great combat and bosses. Still an odd feel, doesn't feel like a Metroid game. Now I have the bike, the desert is kind of ehhh. Going to the third "dungeon" now. Hopefully level design gets better.
They even hide options to contact or adress the issue. All it says is, was expected Thursday.
No options on the order page to actually do anything or get a refund.
Though different, theres a lot that feels very much like a Metroid game. I hope it breaks from the linear path soon though. I just got the bike but have not went back out into the desert.
I did try performance mode and really like it. I'm not sure if I prefer quality or performance. Maybe quality on the tv but performance while using the handheld. The new controls feel pretty good except for the psychic beam aiming. I need to invert that right away. Bosses are fun right now, not too difficult and really make you use your new powers. Samus' new suit is sexy.
As silly as this may sound, I absolutely love the title screen, where the title moves right through the object. So smooth. And the music is amazing.
I heard if you own a $30 Metroid Prime 4 Amiibo, it'll unlock music for the bike desert levels. WTH?
BTW, the MP4 soundtrack is on Nintendo Music.
I do like the bike parts, though its weird that I had to take it gor several test drives before leaving the dealership.
Yeah, I was wondering too. I feel like if it was between Netflix or Paramount buying WB then Netflix is the lesser of two evils.
