John nails it here. Sure it’s fine to have some concerns when previewing something like this, but it’s evident that after Prime 3 that this subseries was gonna dip its toes out of the usual confines of what defines Metroid. Plus, Prime 3 rocks.
Imagine writing a preview for Metroid Prime but only based on the intro. It would be a linear game that's constantly telling you what to do.
Press can only cover what they're shown but context remains key. @jtsknight92.bsky.social takes a look at the reactions to Prime 4. youtu.be/33aUDA9KnMQ

After 18 years, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a surprisingly magical return to Nintendo’s legendary series, and I’m all in on psychic abilities and the power of friendship

One last thing I’d like to mention is that in the midst of all this silly discourse I noticed a sudden uptick in Metroid purists proclaiming “Actually, Fusion sucked!”
And all I have to say is who the hell hurt you?

This year has been rough with very few high moments, yet I am not gonna let any of this Metroid Prime 4 discourse/doomerism over NPCs get to me. The game looks gorgeous and seems to be more Prime and then some. Plus we’ve barely scratched the surface of it. Keep calm and Sylux on.

The vibe I'm getting from the Metroid Prime 4 previews is that the game has a tutorial with lots of dialogue and involves more characters than Prime 1. Fair complaint, but also in line with where the Prime series was when we last left it so kinda what I was expecting.

The Prime series was always meant to be experimental when compared to Sakamoto’s mainline Metroid series. Adding psychic abilities for Samus and quippy side character (that likely isn’t gonna be in your ear *all* the time) is in line with that philosophy that Tanabe and Retro have made before.

I get the complaints about the turbo-nerd who walks Samus through the opening area of Metroid Prime 4, but I don't understand why some previews sound disappointed that Prime 4 isn't re-inventing the series. Dudes, Metroid Prime 3 is old enough to start thinking seriously about its career and family.

MLS will take a break from mid-December through early to mid-February, as reported yesterday.
Will likely see more games in warmer markets in December/Feb, and conversely more in northern markets in July-August.
But never more than 3 in row for a team at home/away.
