I am actually hoping that Metroid Prime 4 plays like the newest Doom game.

So what is it? Do you want the controls and shooting to still play like Metroid Prime 1 on the Gamecube with lock on combat because "its all about the exploration athemosphere and puzzle solving"

All I ask is have Doom-like combat, I never said focus solely on that. In my freaking OP I mentioned this:

"So yeah, I feel Doom 2016 and its upcoming Eternal can serve as a good template to make a modern Metroid Prime game, basically imagine a more puzzle and exploration heavy Doom 2016, that's Metroid Prime 4."

Did you not read my OP and only judged by my title alone?!

I just want combat like this:

But keep everything else that makes Metroid, Metroid like exploration, athemosphere, puzzle solving, and the freakin Scan Visor.

There's also the old wisdom of "He who chases two rabbits catches neither."

That's the truth of the matter. Creating that kind of world alone is daunting enough. Creating a deep combat system is daunting enough. Trying to create both is not going to end well.

There is also the old saying of "Never give up"

Like look at GTA and how far it came from GTA 3 to GTA 5.

At some point you stop being determined and start being obstinate.

No! Not the scan visor! Anything but the scan visor!

YES KEEP THE SCAN VISOR!!!

I actually read the logs and prefer the story to be in the background. I mean the older Resident Evil games did it by having thier stories explained in documents you collect.

Difference being that Resident Evil didn't make you stop every 5 seconds to collect the lore, and didn't leave you exposed in the process.

The idea of piecing a story together through logs, I'm fine with that - other games have done it well (Resident Evil, BioShock, Doom 3, etc.) However, the scan visor thing isn't one of them.

Turn it into an audiotape so I can keep going
