Pressed for details, Armature co-founder and game director Mark Pacini humors me:
"RECORE, AT ITS HEART, HARKS BACK TO A DIFFERENT ERA IN GAMING." "ReCore, at its heart, harks back to a different era in gaming," Pacini says, "and trying to put a new spin on it, based on games that myself and Inafune-san have done in the past that aren’t really being done anymore." He name-drops games like Metroid and Zelda as possible inspirations.
When Pacini first met with Microsoft to discuss collaboration, he was skeptical. He’d been disappointed by the Xbox One’s reveal, particularly the emphasis on film and television, and was unsure he had interest in the console. Big publishers, he explains, also have a stigma of being too controlling, gradually expunging creative freedom from their partners with endless demands.
Microsoft came with a clear idea: a game for gamers. If ReCore really does turn out to be the Metroid / Zelda-like throwback Pacini hints at, then Microsoft will get what it wanted.

Eh, we'll see. No reason to comment on anything about it now.

this means nothing about the quality of the game

This is going to blunder so hard it will be hell of a fun to watch
>>320159193
probably not as hard as Order 1886 and Driveclub and Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall and the PSP Go and Qore and Lair and Haze and the PS3 and Playstation All Stars but you have a point.
>>320159491
can we get a killzone game where we play as the fucking hellghast already jesus fuck
>Inafune-san
HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>320158408
sauce on the pic.
>>320158794
You don't see a lot of self-critique these days.
>>320159491
and Playstation Vue and Playstation Now and PS Vita and PS TV and Pixels and The Nathan Drake Collection and Beyond Two Souls and All I Want for Xmas is a PSP and their credit card security system
It's not the same devs as Metroid Prime. That was marketing bullshit to say it's from a studio with a couple people from the team on it.

Alot of the big cheeses from Retro Studios are at Armature though, its just that theyve been given shovelware jobs, like the guys who did Until Dawn before Until Dawn
Wait for gameplay
Have we even seen gameplay yet?
Even Scalebound showed off some gameplay. It just happened to suck anyway.
>re
Dropped.

nah
>>320158408
Daily reminder that Armature is a group of former non-essential Retro devs, so seriously expecting Metroid Prime 4: Xbox Edition is beyond retarded.
Remember Arkham Origins: Blackgate? That was them.
>>320160758
Daily reminder that Supermassive Games is a group of non-essential PS Move devs, so seriously expecting a worthwhile game is beyond retarded.
Remember Start the Party? That was them.
>>320160758
they barely have a library to base an opinion off, dont be stupid
>>320160758
>non-essential
Bullshit, Armature's founders were all very high-ranking at Retro. Lead Designer, Technical Lead, and Art Director.
>>320160395
>A lot of big cheeses
>3 guys
>from a team with like 80 guys
Hell halo has more retro touch to it than those guys, at least 343 has got the alien designer.
>>320159491
Talking about PSASBR.
Armature worked on that game too, at least Pacini's name is in the credits.
>>320161427
Okay but it wont flop that hard
nothing flops as hard as Playstation All Stars
>>320160714
Blocked.
>>320161784
Triggered.

What, he got a Special Thanks?
Not only does that not equate to an entire studio in any fucking way, its not even a responsibility.
Thats like trying to put down Johnny Depp's entire career because he stuck up his thumbs up and smiled for a second in that shitty Jack & Jill movie.
>>320161427
one guy got a special thanks, very valid point
>>320162009
>Metroid Prime 3 is the most fun one to play
No its pretty well known he got shit tste.
And they already made a metroidvania clone which also wasnt anything to write home about.
>>320162490
jesus were really scraping the bottom of the barrel for criticisms here arent we?
>>320160714
I wouldn't say "sucked" as previous anon said, but to me it was definitely uninspired. Attacks and combos look weak, enemies don't seem too challenging, and the dragon is capable of insta killing almost every viable threat. So the lure of "challenge" and "cuhrazy" isn't there like other platinum games. It doesn't help that Microsoft seems to be putting screws to them either.

Yeah, a year after its reveal via CGI trailer

They all seem pretty valid to me.
