@RoboftheVolcano Will this be the British equivalent to the SovCit movement?

@beardalaxy @GD5426 She doesn't talk in this game, which is bizarre given that Metroid Dread gave her a one liner. I honestly don't get why they made her a silent protagonist again. She's usually quiet in most of the games only because she is alone on planets with little to no intelligent life, but she does the narration in some of her games.

>Has retro actually done anything open world?

There was that cancelled Zelda clone for the GameCube. It doesn't have to be Retro itself that has the experience, but if people from Retro previously worked at companies who have made open world games then it's good enough.

I don't know why people were expecting Metroid Prime 4 to be good. I remember anons on 8/v/ warning about how woke Retro Studios has become back when Nintendo announced that they were restarting the project with them instead of Bandai Namco. Speaking of which, there is a comment on Synthetic Man's Metroid Prime 4 video which theorizes that they dropped Bamco after the success of BoTW and thought that only a western dev could pull it off as open-world games are more common there.
