Let's hope so... that it's not the result of that blue-haired writer that got spotlighted a while back. Austin has absolutely become the Commiefornia of Texas, it's been getting that way for 20 years. Which is ironically about as long as the Prime series has been dormant.
Dread (a title taken right from Prime 3) kindov seemed tryhard to me, I blame "Lords of Shadow" Mercury Steam for that. Samus in Dread carries herself just like Gabriel Belmont. She didn't need to
become Dracula (ala a Metroid) to be considered the ultimate warrior, she already was. Then again, I'm someone who hates the Sakamoto lore pretty deeply, as I think Other M was a dog shit Metroid game which utterly buttfucks Samus as a character if you actually consider it canon. I also haven't forgotten about the time Sakamoto low key discounted the Prime series back in the day, as though he were jealous of a bunch of America barbarians from Texas for making the best selling Metroid game at the time.
