Im now convinced that retro became a drug smuggling front for mexico after 2014
Joshua Murphy
Holy fucking shit
It's in development hell right isn't it?

I don't understand, did literally everyone that worked on the Prime series leave Retro? Why the hiring spree?
Benjamin Williams
Metroid Prime 3 was 2007, it's not the same people anymore
Cooper Sanchez
yes, a lot left so barely any of the original team are working on it. I mean, didn't that game ReCore say "from the people who made Metroid Prime"
Kevin Clark
>Boss/ AI designer
Huh...?
Is this mean the game haven't even passed production stage?
Ryder Howard
>yes, a lot left so barely any of the original team are working on it.
Is it because they rarely actually get a project off the ground?
Owen Jenkins
they're probably still prototyping/building the codebase for the game. It's not happening anytime soon
Jason Hill
it'll probably be a launch title for whatever console nintendo does after the switch. we're at least 4-5 years out from seeing this game, if we ever do at all.
Camden Foster
they literally restarted development twice. They have no groundwork at all
Christian Watson
>we are looking
Gavin Green
elaborate
Brandon Taylor
what was cancelled between 2014 and 2019 ?
Jason Hill
>AI designer
Why? Just make them follow paths.
Elijah Diaz
Its so fucking funny that Nintendo turned down owning Rare when they were bleeding talent but Retro bleeds talent after every damn game. They must be one of the worst 1st party studios the company own right now both output and talent wise.
Next Level Games should just make sequels to DK/Metroid at this point.
Grayson Price
>bro just, use algorithms and shit
Angel Taylor
2023 or 2024 which means Metroid Prime Trilogy for Switch is 2022 or 2023.
Luke Edwards
They should just cancel it, we don't need anymore Metroid Prime games.
Evan Nelson
They restarted the whole project from scratch.
Not joking.

Adam Garcia
I still want to see whatever absolute abortion Bamco Singapore created to make even Nintendo want to switch back to letting le gaijins to developing their game. Surely it must have been on a new level of awful
Evan James
I'm still hanging on for a late 2022 release.
Jackson Baker
Don't worry, Metroid 5 by based Sakamoto and Mercury Steam will come out next year.
Gabriel Collins
Why are you acting like boss design is something done at the beginning of development? It's not.
Evan Hall
How have people meme'd themselves into thinking Metroid 5 is happening? Is it because some resetera tranny leaker said so?
Jack Sanchez
Retro has a similar skill that Valve has where there talent comes from finding other people with talent and basically have them work for them.
Differences is Valve embraced this mindset and culled around 200 employee's around the mid-2000's and now divides the work with a mix of some permanent employee's and contractors while Retro still has this weird cycle of culling and hiring.
Joshua Peterson
This, can't wait, it's probably coming in August or September with an E3 2021 reveal.
Colton Foster
Unironically that's pretty much what "AI" means in video game contexts. An AI designer is someone who can put up with the menial task of creating a state machine model that lets the enemies switch from stalking, hiding, attacking, retreating, etc. following path nodes and such in an entertaining way. Most "AI" is stretching the term to breaking point, but in video games there is literally 0 intelligence, artificial or otherwise by design.
Ethan Ramirez
I would not say Retro is the worst studio in Nintendo, their most recent game Tropical Freeze is pretty good, now compare that to the shovelware Mario Party or the Golden Sun devs consistently shit out.
Though i agree Nintendo should give NLG more projects and possibly outright buy them
Chase Lewis
You're right but after Strikers Nintendo will never trust them without a leash
Brody Rogers
*mid 2010's not 2000's. That was a typo.
Zachary Richardson
Cope, mother fucker, every game that vergeben leaked last year has become a reality, only Warioware and Metroid 5 are left.
Aaron Jones
>remember me?
I like Prime 1; 2 was OK; 3 seemed cringe.
Will 4 be any good?
Jacob Foster
An entire new DK game is completed and on the backburner for release.
Hudson Rogers
I'm applying, boys
Liam Jones
this game isn't coming out until next gen
Xavier Reyes
Tropical Freeze was fantastic, if it's the same people making Prime 4 I'm sleeping well until it releases.
Robert Jackson
>they haven’t even started making bosses and working on combat AI yet
See you in 2022, if ever, Metroid Prime 4...
Evan Sullivan
This has been happening for a while though. i live in Texas and got to see them on job application sites looking for stuff. about a year ago they were looking for concept artists.
James Ross
this video is 2 years old
their pipeline must be a fucking mess
Josiah Gutierrez
This, didn't Californians all moved to Texas, I'm worried about Prime 4.
Juan Cox
holy fucking rekt
Caleb Cooper
This was nearly TWO years ago though. Assuming this isn't BotW tier they should be over halfway through development by now.
Juan Bell
Source on this?
Lincoln Torres
MercurySteam hasn't released anything since Samus Returns.
Charles Wilson
>They must be one of the worst 1st party studios the company own right now both output and talent wise.
This is sad, the general opinion on Retro was the complete opposite when DKCTF originally launched, I remember seeing people post about how Retro should be the ones handling IPs like Smash Bros. Who knows what the fuck has been going on for the better half of the last decade, the only thing they've done is throw out a port.
Dominic Hernandez
This guy doesn't want Metroid 5 to happen, when Nintendo announces it June of next year, he will be seething.
Joshua Williams
Actually it was leaker from here, and everything from his 2019 leak has come true with the exception of the Nintendo-related announcements.
Ian Cooper
Retro Studios is a fucking mess these days.
Lucas Wilson
They did, some f2p online game which they just got done porting to next gen consoles.
