They'll finally pick up the cliffhanger from Prime 3 where the ship from the DS game is following her. The guy is in armor and hates the Federation so he can be a Chozo space marine who is also a pirate, Ridley's brother and a Metroid.

I am curious where you'd go with a Metroid 6. All the Metroids are dead, the guys who knew how to make Metroids are all dead, the X Parasite is dead as far as we know (unless there's ANOTHER goddamn Chozo colony studying the loving things), Ridley's dead, the Space Pirates haven't been a going concern since Super Metroid, we're kinda running out of established things to deal with. Unless it's just Samus fighting the Federation as they try and basically do a worse rehash of Raven Beak's plan to nab her Metroid DNA, I'm not sure where we go.

There's only so many Alien movies we can borrow material from. I guess we haven't done Alien 3 with Samus stuck on a prison planet, but it would be weird to do that AFTER we already did the Alien: Resurrection plot back in Fusion.

Since when has been dead stop someone from showing up in a Metroid game?

Whatever direction they go, I hope they don't overdo it. Just put Samus in an isolated, creepy place with instructions to kill everything. Too much plot would be a real drag

good point.

calling my shot: the federation clones the chozo, who then clone the metroids, but they need to feed the metroids so they clone the x. turns out, this was stupid!

e: also ridley. they clone ridley. why not

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

As has been established, Samus is now THE Metroid. (much like how the guy in my avatar is Zelda from Zelda.) So she can go off and rip and tear across the galaxy. They can make up all new worlds and aliens and the name will still make sense.

Right, that chapter of Samus’s story is done. It is tough to say where they’ll go with it now.

Which also makes me wonder what Prime 4 is going to be about. Are they going to ditch Dark Samus & Phazon? Will there be space pirates and metroids? Who the gently caress knows.

Well since all the other Prime games so far have fit snugly between Metroid 1 and Metroid 2, I see no reason why there wouldn't be metroids and space pirates and poo poo, Samus hasn't been sent to exterminate them yet. That time period is kinda like the Clone Wars, in that it's rich in story potential despite being a relatively short period of in-universe time.

Maybe it will be someone hunting Samus for her metroid dna. (Because the chozo forgot to write the DNA code down so it's not recorded anywhere)

It's Hudson from that one comic no one remembers.

EDIT: Actually it was Houston but that illustrates my point.

I mean Prime, Fusion, and Dread each introduced an entirely new Thing to be a big bad threat and they all worked pretty well. They'll be fine, especially at the rate these games come out

Ridley is cloned by the Metroids. They weren't trying to do it or anything. They were just floating around the cloning labs and, whoops. Ridley.

He's kind of the Metroid universe version of an error page. Whenever you just do some random cloning, odds are you'll get a Ridley.

  • Having seen the explosion on the moon, the Devil comes to Venus
In Metroid Dread 2, Samus crash lands on an unknown planet, losing most of her powerups and scattering the pieces of her damaged ship across the planet. In order to repair her ship and make her escape, she'll need to enlist the aid of the local plant-like creatures, known as "Pikmin", to combat the hostile wildlife, build bridges and break down walls, and transport items back to the ship.

Dread’s combat and movement are so drat slick that I genuinely want them to do a full Zero Suit game where Samus uses melee as her body itself slowly becomes more and more hosed up and powerful due to the bedlam that is now her DNA. Give her a sword or a spear like the Chozo robots and let’s see what that team can do with pure close range combat. Just set her loose wherever the Space Pirates are currently held up while she goes full Rambo.

Sylux unambiguously appeared in the ending teaser of federation force so it's pretty clear that's what metroid prime 4 is going to be about. well, as much as it can be "about" this one guy from hunters anyway.

anyone know if the fusion suit is still in prime remastered? you at least don't unlock it for beating the game but maybe it's for max% or beating hard mode?

Lets change up the environments a little. Put Samus in Not Coruscant but it's been abandoned except for some wildlife and the new enemies. Like a hive mind has taken over the planet or something.

At the very least they should have put something in the sunken frigate really early on that gates on the Gravity Suit. It's hosed up they let you go so far in before blocking you and then you have to climb the whole way back out, without the Gravity Suit. Absolutely psychotic game design.
