![]() So a lot of times it's about what gameplay dynamics developers want to create, what characters they want to bring to life. "So one of the great things about Nintendo is that we have such a deep library of IP that our developers can draw on. "The developers have to feel like they have new creative ideas to bring any franchise to life in a new way," Charlie Scibetta, senior director of corporate communications for Nintendo of America told Player One. Last year, the extent of Metroid Prime 4's presence at E3 was a logo which got fans excited. "And when we think we're ready to show Metroid Prime, we'll show Metroid Prime." 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," Trinen said. Game Informercaught up with Bill Trinen, senior product manager for Nintendo of America, and asked why Metroid Prime 4 wasn't at E3 this year. Probably a number of alternate control options as well, like in BotW and Splatoon.Metroid Prime 4 was one of the most surprising reveals at E3 2017, but Samus didn't make an appearance at this year's Nintendo Direct. X: Toggle missiles/super missiles(morph ball: toggle bombs/super bombs) I can see them using a control scheme something like this:ĭ-pad: Select beam(scanning mode: select visor) Therefore it makes sense to expect Metroid Prime 4 to follow suit. Two of the biggest titles for the Switch, Breath of the Wild and Splatoon, make heavy use of both analog sticks and gyro. Hence they decided to basically transpose their established Zelda control scheme to first-person for Metroid, with a lock-on system to greatly simplify combat. There's also the fact that the Gamecube controller is not ideal for twin-stick controls, and Nintendo at the that time greatly desired to simplify control schemes. There were forerunners like Goldeneye and Turok, but the idea of how to control games in first person on consoles was by no means set in stone yet. The modern twin-stick paradigm wasn't established yet- the original Halo released 2 days before MP. You have to consider the context of when they created the original Metroid Prime versus now. That way, you're not locked into a single camera direction for the entirety of your shooting because you're busy firing with your right thumb on a button. They should do a hybrid, keeping the look adjustment and s trafing from the original prime games, and add the second stick for camera refinement. It could work if a face button was still the shooting button, but then you give up looking around if the left stick is only for strafing. This is a playtesting issue people never think about when considering the controls of the metroid prime games. The endurance of your thumb made shooting with the A button easy to do, but your pointer finger? Not for me. Trigger with your index finger? That would be extremely uncomfortable/tiring after a few minutes of shooting and I wouldn't be able to do it nearly as fast. ![]() People say they better modernize it by making it 2 stick controls, but then if your thumb is busy using the second stick, then how do you shoot? Shooting in Metroid Prime doesn't work like regular FPSs.
