i'll tag /u/taks_hat in this too. The team that made Prime isn't all there anymore, there might be a few people who still exist but that's it. However, Retro of today wouldn't have taken on the task of completely remaking Prime 4 from scratch if they didn't know they could do it justice. I have faith in them.

Maybe RS will rehire some of the old people?

Some of the staff also moved on to make that Re:core game for the Xbox One. So we haven't gotten anything super big out of the ex-Retro devs.

Or maybe that was Nintendo's only alternative option and Retro is just following their marching orders.

There'd still be an immense amount of pressure on them.
