Going the Ian route would add a Winter Soldier flair to Metroid that could work if done right. The Galactic Federation’s failure to stop the attack on Samus’s home of K-2L, or Ian’s feelings of embitterment toward them for leaving him to die, are motivations enough to want to destroy them. One theory suggests Sylux is Samus’s long lost brother, who was briefly mentioned in Blood of the Chozo, a non-canon Metroid fan story from the 1990s, but excluded from her origin story since.Īnother suggests that Sylux is Ian Malkovich, Adam’s brother, who appeared in a flashback in Metroid: Other M. I hope that Prime 4 delves into Sylux’s character, in a non-intrusive and well-done manner, perhaps even a sympathetic portrayal of Sylux’s origins that at the very least shows Sylux is not completely evil. For over a decade, we have argued and speculated about Sylux’s true identity, motivations and why the Cylosian hunter hates the Galactic Federation and Samus by extension. This game is likely to finally tell us the story of Sylux, the mysterious rival Bounty Hunter from Metroid Prime Hunters. The time-shifting mechanic, if implemented, could be established as an ability of the Ylla – one that is dangerous – and could be exploited by evil hands. We can learn more about them, their culture, and their interactions with the Luminoth and Reptilicus, and possibly the Chozo, as well. Perhaps the setting – suggested by Kensuke Tanabe to be on a single planet with a time shifting mechanic – will be the homeworld of the Ylla, a starfaring race mentioned in Lore in Metroid Prime 2 and 3 that have not been seen in the series. Metroid Prime 4 absolutely must include the return of the Scan Visor with an equally deep amount of Logbook and other data to match.
The Scan Visor was a crucial element of this world-building as it allowed you to access a massive repository of information from once prosperous alien races.
#Metroid prime 4 gameplay series
The Prime trilogy has always featured some of the best world-building and story in the Metroid series as a whole, and perhaps even in all of gaming. At the time of writing, we still don’t have a great deal of confirmed information, but with rumours of Bandai Namco supporting the development of the title, and some prior comments from series Producer Kensuke Tanabe, our team have shared their hopes on what they would love to see from the upcoming title. It has been almost a year since Nintendo first announced Metroid Prime 4 at their E3 Spotlight presentation in 2017.
