Looks so much better than the E3 reveal.

Tapani3136d ago

Yeah, but still like a PS2 title. Honestly, Star Fox 64 was state-of-the-art stuff back on the N64, and this should be too. I don't know what they are doing with the franchise... This has disappointment written all over it.

I really enjoyed the original vector graphics Snes title and N64 version as well. Finished both of them countless of times and got really good at them.

But this... no go.

I agree with you and venomous. I think graphically it should've been a lot better, look at the new star wars game, something like that would be sufficient.

I also agree with venomous point about gameplay, story, content coming first, I'd always choose those things over graphics but I just think in this case, graphically this could've been a lot better.

Activemessiah3136d ago (Edited 3136d ago )

Yeah but unlike Zero, SF64 didn't run a total of 120FPS... that's sure bound to affect graphics which ever way you look at it.

Tapani3135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

Venomous I think it's a bit unfair to say "guys like you" when I'm playing games from the 1980s and 1990s mostly. Or at best, their remakes. I just wanted this particular game to have better looking environments. Environments that would actually look inspiring.

I'm all for gameplay, despite my earlier comment. But I just expected something that would look overall much better. I also think that pushing graphics was part of the franchise to begin with.

I don't know, maybe I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to Nintendo products nowadays... I'm somehow just so disappointed by them year after year.

Fair play to you about the polygon/vector thing, though! :)

Edit: I didn't realize it's actually rendering two 60fps images. When I took a look at it again in 60fps, it's not that bad after all. However, the environments still look quite uninspiring.

Looks great and I love that they expanded the vehicle variety a bit.

maniacmayhem3136d ago

Looks way better, can't wait!

Star Fox Zero, Was it Really That Bad?

Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?

Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.

Vits957d ago

It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.

CptDville956d ago

Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.

SeTTriP956d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey956d ago

controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..

Einhander1971956d ago

No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really

Platinum wants to bring Star Fox Zero to Switch

But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.

I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead

Teflon021006d ago

Finally, someone who knows about Assault. Best Star Fox Multi-player imo.

Neonridr1006d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag1006d ago

Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!

whitbyfox1006d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf1006d ago (Edited 1006d ago )

I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.

Starfox Games, Ranked

WGTC: "Nintendo hasn’t always given Starfox the most love among its tentpole franchises, but the series has still cultivated a loyal cult fanbase over its almost 30-year history. Here are all of the games in the mainline series ranked from worst to best."

Well, they listed Star Fox Zero as the worst one, so that list is at least believable.

septemberindecember1050d ago

I feel like if you're judging the original Star Fox by it's era then I feel you should do the same with Star Fox 2 IMO. Since they are both effectively SNEA games

Sgt_Slaughter1050d ago

It's hard to top the N64 version (well maybe the 3DS version, but that should have used uncompressed audio. Without that it's a step down from what it could have been IMO)
