I'll believe it when I see it.

I could maybe see an argument that DOOM and Wolfenstein would be tests of the engine on Switch that could be the groundwork for Metroid, but even then, I don't really believe it.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

An Arkane developed Metroid Prime would be amazing! They're a talented bunch.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Signs point to no.

Because it's mercury steam 😏

 

[daTRUballin]

No way dude. If it was Bethesda, we would've already known. There wouldn't be any reason to hide the fact that they're making it.

 

[WeirdoStalkerJr]

Lol not a chance in a cold winter's day in hell

 

[Dreamwriter]

Calling it now, EA Sports is doing Metroid Prime 4 (“It’s in the game!”)

 

[apieceofstrange]

Doom basically felt like a Metroid Prime game at times so I could kind of see it working if id was behind it. Still doubt it though.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

That's not how you spell Ninja Theory

 

[Baroquemantic]

Calling it now. I'm making Metroid Prime 4. You heard it here first.

 

[andrerobot]

What?

No.

What?

 

[-MB-]

Arendt there a few key Retro guys from the Prime era that work at ID now?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Uh... Don't we already know that it's a Nintendo team?

 

[Estoc]

Please no.

How is this not the first reply?

 

[Sotha_Sil]

No.

Bethesda Softworks' developers will not work on IP from another video game publisher.

The only time they wouldn't work on internal IP is if they acquired the rights to an IP originating outside gaming (like the rumored GoT). This is similar to EA getting Star Wars and CDPR getting The Witcher and Cyberpunk.

 

[Why would you do that?]

If ID did it, then it would be like both sides of my childhood (the DOS/PC gamer who grew up with Keen and the NES gamer) would converge, and it would be too much for me to handle.

Funny, a couple weeks ago I was floating around the idea in my head that Ubisoft could be making it, now I kind of wonder if id could be, haha.

 

[Renekton]

No way dude. If it was Bethesda, we would've already known. There wouldn't be any reason to hide the fact that they're making it.

Just like TES6 😗

 

[Dark Cloud]

Signs point to no.

Good. I don't see why Bethesda would make Metroid Prime.

 

[NateDrake]

Haha no. Not at all.

 

[daTRUballin]

Just like TES6 😗

Well, TES6 would be Bethesda's own IP. Bethesda working on a major Nintendo IP that everyone has been clamoring for like MP4 wouldn't stay a secret for very long, I don't think.

 

[dickroach]

Mods still haven't locked this.
one of them knows something
it's totally being developed by Bethesda

 

[Gator86]

I said it first, dont ever steal my post as a thread. Ok?

Why would you want to take credit for this?

 

[blubb]

There would be riots in the streets, burning skies and GAF melting down.

Spoiler

Probably not.

I like your idea OP. Don't let logic, reason or other gaffers convince you of your holy path down the rabbit hole you got this idea from.
Also, Bethesda would make the Metroid game Metroid fans truly deserve.

 

[kami_sama]

TBH I wouldn't mind an iD, Machine Games or Arkane versions.
I think they have the pedigree to make a new and great version of the Metroid Prime formula.
But, the chance for this to happen is as slim as the plank length.

 

[Cranzor]

Metroid Prime 4 is going to be a Skyrim mod.

 

[tolkir]

Those maths work with any third party publisher that release games on Switch.
I don't know why Bethesda is different.

 

[hughesta]

ID Software doing Metroid Prime 4 would be fantastic.

I believe one of Retro's former leads is at ID, too.

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Plot twist: Metroid prime 4 has been cancelled and we're getting metroid other M 2.

 

[The Last One]

1. Nintendo says that RETRO is NOT doing metroid prime 4 but another studio is.

Well, yeah but really, this could mean any studio

2. DOOM 2016 and Wolfenstein 2 are both coming to the switch.

I guess this just means they're supporting the Switch which is great.

3. Bethesda has said they are working on an unannounced game and no one knows what it is......

Fallout 4?

.

 

[MrBS]

Will bet a lifetime ban this isn't happening, you game OP?

 

[Milennia]

released on the creation club

 

[Boy Wander]

So this thread is basically "I think Bethesda is making Metroid Prime". I don't think they are.

 

[Elfforkusu]

What if it's ID and From Software

 

[Audioserf]

I'm afraid to say your reasoning is extremely dubious.

 

[BaasRed]

None of the points you made connect to each other except by multiple assumptions.

Spoiler

Can't wait for Samus nude mods

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

Metroid Prime 4 by the Prey team from Arkane

 

[ScientificPizza]

That is not a lot of information to draw this conclusion lmao

You might as well say Ubisoft are working on Prime 4 because they are bringing Rayman and Steep to the Switch and have already proven themselves with a Nintendo property

Quick someone make a thread

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Starfield will be what you're thinking will be Metroid Prime I'm thinking.

 

[Draper]

I mean,

well

FUCK

 

[Head.spawn]

A 3rd party dev finally releases some software on a Nintendo console and the two seconds into it you assume that means they're now working on first party IP?

I think the engine just scales very well so they were like "fuck it, why not?".

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Probably not.

 

[Bluth54]

I think it's much more likely that Next Level Games is doing Metroid Prime 4.

 

[FloatingIslands]

Please no.

 

[Ouija Luigi]

what, the hey... Can't seem to get a link to work... I take it tinypic doesn't work on Gaf?

 

[Soul of the Beast]

brb burning my Switch

 

[KingBroly]

.

I'm pretty sure it was Doom

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It's MercurySteam and the only reason Nintendo hasn't announced that yet is because that developer doesn't have the greatest track record and they were waiting for Samus Returns to come out with an overwhelmingly positive reception so that when they announce it is MS working on Prime 4 ppl go "yeah! The Samus Returns team is back!" As opposed to "eww, the Lords of Shadow guys?"

It's not a wish. It's a prediction I've been saying since E3. If I had it my way it'd be From Software working on it.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

I wouldn't wish Bethesda on any IP.

 

[antispin]

I'd Love an ID MP. Love. But has to be horror exploration: puzzles + backtracking + putting the suit together + demon pirates FPS action.

 

[Litri]

Okay but what the hell is Retro doing?

This.

 

[Retro Edge]

3. Bethesda has said they are working on an unannounced game and no one knows what it is......

But.... Metroid Prime 4 is announced.
