Could this just be an NPC during the tutorial, and then they get brutally murdered during the first encounter and then you have to fend for yourself on a remote planet. Maybe it turns out motherbrain inhabitants that NPCs body as a puppet for a boss battle or something? And if was MGS, the puppet NPC would tell you the wrong things to do during the battle.
Unlikely since he appears in the recent trailer where Samus has upgraded armor along with several other federation pals. There’s also a log entry for him alongside 5 empty spaces, indicating you’ll need to do this rescue/escort thing with 6 different NPCs throughout the game.
According to the overview trailer you’ll meet federation troopers “occassionally”. I’m pretty sure Miles will only be around during the early game, but there will be other NPCs later on. Does sound like you’ll be alone most of the time though. I’m not a fan of what I’ve seen of Miles at all, but I do enough have faith in retro studios to be sure that they won’t give us a quippy sidekick for the entire game.
Wait, what? OOL here
Early previews of Metroid Prime 4 prominently feature a companion that you rescue in the first area, who tags along for a large portion of the playtime. He makes dumb quips: “It’s about to get real nerdy in here”, screams when enemies appear: “Is everything on this planet trying to kill us?”, states very obvious things: “missiles work better on enemies with hard shells” and nags you about what to do at any given moment: “You want something to shoot? Try that piston”.
He’s also an escort that you need to protect or you get a game over.
So you’re stuck with a costumed Clippy. Ugh.
Doesn’t look promising from what I’ve seen so far. I will try to keep an open mind and wait for reviews to start coming in, but honestly the atmosphere and vibes are what I love most about Metroid games. Having a companion (especially an annoying one that you need to babysit) could easily sour me on any game, let alone a Metroid game.
Assume this refers to the long overdue metroid FPS. Jerry Seinfeld is “out” due to the content warning mentioned
