YouTuber Bearborg posted a new video this week containing all base camp interactions for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which includes a ton of cut dialogue. There’s a little over 30 minutes in total as found in the files.
Throughout the game, players encounter troops from the Galactic Federation. Myles MacKenzie, Reger Tobaki, Sergeant Ezra Duke, Private First Class Nora Armstrong, and VUE-995 are a part of the story. As it turns out, these characters were meant to say a lot more, but a bunch of lines were left on the cutting room floor.

That I can say that I’ve played and completed Metroid Prime 4: Beyond feels like a small miracle in of itself. As a longtime fan of the series who has spent the past eighteen years waiting hungrily for a proper sequel to to the captivating, genre-bending Metroid Prime trilogy, part of me is simply happy this game exists as a real thing I can play. Those original titles helped define my taste in games over the years that followed, and set a high bar as a stellar example of how to balance a rewarding sense of exploration with smart environmental storytelling and engaging first-person combat. While I didn’t necessarily need Metroid Prime 4 to reinvent the wheel, I was certainly open to it experimenting with some new ideas to push the franchise forward – hopefully, while managing to recapture everything that made the original games so special.
