"I think the main thing is, as people have probably realized by now – we show things when we think we’re ready to show them. And when we think we’re ready to show Metroid Prime, we’ll show Metroid Prime"

So why did you guys reveal it last year?

Neonridr2173d ago

yeah that was a little bit of a head scratcher. You would think that logically if they showed a teaser trailer last year, that they might have something to show this year. I mean hell, it could have just been a trailer for all that it mattered. I think they were better off leaving it out of their E3 last year and then showed that this year. It would have been a little more acceptable.

I get that Nintendo was trying to show stuff that was coming in 2018 or maybe early 2019, but still.. progress has got to have been made on that game.

WPX2172d ago

I think Trinnen explained that(not sure if it was in the same article), since it was Switch's first year, they would show games in the making beyond the next year(like Metroid Prime and now Yoshi) and they are back this year(this year) just showing what will be available in the near future(though that doesn't explain Daemon Ex Machina and Fire Emblem, tho nice but releasing next year)

3-4-52172d ago

@WPX..exactly. It's already been explained before but Sony fans will jump at anything.

TallonIV2171d ago

I hope we get something on Prime 4 at the game awards..

wonderfulmonkeyman2173d ago

There's a difference between letting people know it's coming, and showing it off extensively.
They let people know, because people had been asking for long enough that they felt it was necessary to tell them.

Double_O_Revan2172d ago

Exactly. Let them know it's at least in development. This will at least calm some people down, even just slightly.

Zodiac2172d ago

I think it was a "yes, stop worrying, Metroid on the home console is still a thing"

Double_O_Revan2172d ago

Because they needed to give people reasons to buy the Switch. Same as why they announced Pokemon Switch. Last year at this time was still very on in the Switch's life and before it did the sales numbers it's been doing.

GameBoyColor2172d ago

CDPR did the same thing with CP2077, twice.

Benjaminkno2171d ago (Edited 2171d ago )

Nintendo didn't actually show anything last year.
They showed a title, meaning they announced that they were working on it. They didn't show anything because they weren't ready like they said. I'm sure that they have plenty of cards up their sleeve.

Gr8saiyaman882171d ago

Because people wouldn't shut up about Metroid for a solid decade

Moonman2172d ago

Yes, I'm still excited to SEE it, but even the same little teaser with a "2019" would of been better than nothing. ;p

Venoxn4g2172d ago

even though i was a bit sad they didnt show Bayo3 & Metroid prime 4.. but I waited for so long..i can wait more..plus they can show them on any future Nintendo Directs

Einhander19712172d ago

Agreed surely there is something to show.

SR388132172d ago

SR388132172d ago

Not what I meant! Lol stoopid phones!... But yes very noice image lol

Helldivers 2 weapon rebalancing to get massive buff with studio’s new Chief Creative Officer

Pilestedt writes: "Very good question. First thing we got to do is ensure we get more devs time playing the game. It's hard to make the right decisions if the eyes aren't on the road.

Secondly, I want to ensure we actively look at the sentiment and create a holistic view of WHY feedback is given. And my working theory is that TTK is too high."

I’m more interested in what else he said.

“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple10112h ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

-Foxtrot9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

senorfartcushion8h ago

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

Geez how full of themselves are these guys.

Einhander19729h ago

He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.

CrimsonWing699h ago

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Cacabunga15h ago

U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point

fsfsxii13h ago

can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg

Redgrave8h ago

The problem with new ideas is that they are often riddled with modern gaming problems like battle/season passes, MTX, DEI and/or agenda pushing narratives rather than making something fun.

We look to nostalgia because the magic was still alive and well, where as now it's often limited to indies.

Chard13h ago

Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne

anast9h ago

Compare their releases. How many are GaaS and how many are not. Put the number here for people to see.

gold_drake8h ago

what gaas are we talking? did i miss something?

I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.

I hope he does a new IP instead

FinalFantasyFanatic6h ago

I love the Armored Core series, I hope it becomes a regular thing again, like it was back in the PS2 days, we've been starved of AC games for a long time. Although I prefer the gameplay in the PS2 games personally. AC6 was really fun though.

Sonic18815h ago(Edited 5h ago)

The last game was a difficult challenge. I had trouble beating that last boss

shinoff21832h ago

I'm hoping for a Sci fi game. I guess armored core would be Sci fi but I'm not talking about that. I'd like a new Sci fi game

Nacho_Z13h ago

Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.

gold_drake8h ago

oofff kings field. i played that not too long ago ha.

shinoff21832h ago

One ofbthe first ps games I beat back in the day. Was fun.

anast9h ago

Good news. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
