5:38 - “Glass balled aliens”, really? What’s the name of the game again, Glass balled aliens Prime?

[Tomtycoon]

0:45 No, Metroid Prime Remaster came out in 2023 not 2022.

[JonnyZerep]

"Glass ball aliens" 😂😂😂
Someone tell him!

[phazon]

SO hyped for Prime 4! Still can't believe it's real. Hopefully Prime 2 & 3 come to Switch at some point.

[Nanobit]

A performance video for a game that isn’t even finished yet.
Okay IGN. Running out of ideas for videos.
Might as well make one for Half Life 3 or Bloodborne 2

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

Uh oh; IGN is coming for Digital Foundry’s gig

[pickettfury]

Feels like alot of people commenting on IGN stuff these days might be depressed or going through some hard stuff. So much negativity. Get better soon 👍

[MushokuReborn]

If you're struggling to think of content how about you guys start working on that apology to the Black Myth Wukong team?

[somasoundss]

just because he has a british accent doesn’t make this an accurate video lol

[bytevengeance]

Yea let's just make a performance review on a game you haven't even played and just watched the trailer 😂 IGN is a fuckin joke.

[isimioyekunlemarktaiwo]

It seems some people here didnt watch the video, they are being speculative on the trailer and comparing it to retro previous work, some graphical features are obvious and doesnt need the game to out to point it out. Jeez at this point the complaints here are just another rage trend to hate on ign.

[basedboy]

Halo, Tim Burton, and Buzz lightyear quote but doesn’t know what a Metroid looks like
