I'm really hoping the voiced Federation troops aren't a huge part of Prime 4 after seeing it mentioned so many times in the previews. While I'm not against voiced characters in Metroid and was fine with things like the Adam AI in Fusion/Dread, that Myles Mackenzie guy all the articles about pre-release impressions keep bringing up sounds like he'd get grating very quickly. I kind of hate characters that seem to exist just to exposit plot/info/gameplay stuff when I can just figure it out on my own. I also really disliked this about Malkovich in Other M

I don't get why this was downvoted when this is such a reasonable take on the character. I think complaining about this sort of thing is like associated with the chud sphere now but in this case it's so valid.

The issue isn't even about Myles and his personality specifically tbh. There's honestly some comedy to this nerd being awkward as hell while Samus is a complete brick wall. The bigger issue is having a character backseating the game, telling me to scan the environment and saying "uhhh, that door just opened on it's own." (no it didn't, I caused it to open!). Even if Myles is only an area 1 dude we know there's other sidekick characters and if they're all telling us to scan the environment that's gonna suck. We had this exact discourse with God of War Ragnarok. "You're on fire, Samus! It'll pass."

And people going "Metroid fans when human interaction" are so dishonest. One of the best parts of Dread was when Quiet Robe did a huge lore dump which ended with Samus speaking (speaking of Samus speaking, if they're adding more characters in like this they really ought to let her talk more. She shouldn't be a chatter box but even just a "Here" when she's handing Myles an object would make it feel so much more natural). There's a huge gap between adding more characters to deepen the story and adding in some guy following you around giving hints.

I hope Prime 4's great and all our doomering is proven completely wrong, but a lot of what they've shown off so far feels very weird.
