wonder if people are gonna beg for startropics, f-zero, starfox or metroid
add shitty love/heroic stories, bullets and gore?
I'm a data visualization engineer who has been developing a highly interactive Virtual Globe over the course of my PhD. In my work I have strived to produce software that was pushing the state of the art while not neglecting practical usability. My Virtual Globe named Crusta has been actively used by Geologists at Davis and is being deployed to further collaborators in academia. The experience has given me appreciation for high-performance, real-time graphics as well as "production"-level software engineering.
Specialties
real-time 3D graphics, data processing, out-of-core processing, software frameworks
Let's see.
- Metroid Prime came out November 2002. Development started late 2000/early 2001.
-Metroid Prime 2 came out November 2004. [/b]The project was around 30% complete three months before its release.[/b]
-Metroid Prime 3 came out August 2007. (transition from GC to Wii). Prime 2 with Wii controls first shown off at TGS 2005. First Prime 3 footage at E3 2006. Title originally planned for November 2006 release but was delayed to August 2007.
-Metroid Prime 3 trilogy came out August 2009. Small development team and project started shortly before Prime 3 was release.
- Donkey Kong Country Returns came out November 2010. Development started in April 2008. Development accelerated at onset of 2010 and began to take shape by E3.
The fact that he sees it as his crowning achievement can imo only mean Zelda.
Yeah... unless it's a Metroid themed track pack for Mario Kart 7.The fact that he sees it as his crowning achievement can imo only mean Zelda.
I want Retro to be like Christian Nolan - Make one movie for the studio (Batman Begins) make one for himself (The Prestige), and from the success the previous ones made, he pretty much gets a blank check for any new movies (The Dark Knight, Inception).
Retro should make one Nintendo owned franchise, than make one new game for themselves. Would be awesome IMO
[Nintex];34161813 said:The Armature boys had multiple deals that all went south. They wanted to be like Mistwalker but for EA, like thinking up new IP's, prototypes and ideas while someone else developed. But the studio they partnered with at EA got shuttered so they had to build up their own staff to develop games and they actually had a deal with Capcom for a title. For some reason Capcom pulled out so that was gone too so they made some assets for HALO: CEA I believe and if I'm not mistaken they're currently working on a Vita game to be published by Sony.
I hope it's not Zelda. I love the franchise, but I think that it should get some rest.
Metroid on the other hand.., yes I want a new Metroid.

do you guys really think this'll be zelda? i can't imagine they would make zelda both the swansong to the Wii, and a launch game for Wii U, and i can't imagine retro working on anything other than a launch game or near-launch title.

Jocchan and I were thinking that Retro might've been behind that Zelda tech-demo that Nintendo didn't want to say much about. As a proof of concept or something, pure speculation.
[Nintex];34162075 said:I don't think Nintendo would invest this kind of money in a project that isn't Mario, Zelda or something new that they aim to be equal in size.
The last new(non port) Star Fox was patched together with string and bubblegum by Namco's B-team.
The last Metroid game was a financial disaster.

I'll try to search for info on it but rumors leaked about Retro working on a new Wii U game back in April 2011. The source came from Paul Gale Network who claimed they were informed by some Retro Studio staff about its next project. It was also said that Retro was among the first to obtain a Wii U dev kit.
Whatever project it is working on, I think we're looking at a early 2013 release. It will look good if Nintendo releases Wii U in Q4 2012.

He probably needs to brush up on the original and Zelda II in order to properly create material for a sequel in that branch of the timeline.Well, It looks like he is a Zelda fan. I can see the NES game there.
Gold Zelda 1 cart, Zelda confirmed.
Brutal Legend 2 with the use of Powerglove confirmed?
GET HYPE
Power Glove, Captain N FPS confirmed.
Wasn't SFAssult by Project Aces? Certainly the best team at Namco to do the job. Baffling how that could screw up.
Do something no one would see coming.
Like, something newish.
Power Glove, Captain N FPS confirmed.
