Star Fox, one of the most loved franchises on any Nintendo console with some of the most loyal fans, may not need to wait much longer for another installment of another heralded title. This time around however, neither Nintendo nor any of the other previous development teams have anything to do with it – and that’s one of the aspects of Star Fox: Shadows of Lylat (SoL) the Fairhcild VI staff found most interesting and exciting.
FC6 editor Dolovey Herman sits down to interview Benjamin Suhr, project lead of Star Fox: Shadows of Lylat and talks about where it is going and what players can expect.
"Gamers love when a brand-new franchise takes their world by storm, but sometimes you just want to see an old friend. Several high-profile franchises have yet to see the light of day on the current round of home consoles, and for what reason? I look into the present whereabouts of some franchises and offer my best guess on whether we’ll see another instillation anytime soon."- WilliamTimothy
Worse: Front Mission went into the FPS crapper where in five years there might have been two standard games. A remake of Gunhazard for PSN/XBL.
"It hasn't been fully confirmed but reports and many different happenings have been coming from the lair of Gamewarden, and there seems to be a new Starfox title peeking over the horizon. Please take the time to read the following."
I feel sorry for this people, this must have been an incredible effort and Nintendo is just going to crush it in a milion pieces before its even out.... just like what happened with some fan made Zelda
Nintendo is really protective about their franchises
I hope they release this before nintendo does just that...
its using their property. if they just renamed somethings tweeked some colors and similar things they could get away with it.
i been following this project and i want to play it.
oh this....
well thanks allot for getting my hopes up then smashing em down =[
im gonna go play starfor 64 and listen to slippy now
I was just playing Starox 64 yesterday :)
I want a new Star Fox game. DO IT.
I fully expect Nintendo to smash this project with a cease and desist order before it is ever released. It'd be unfortunate too since it looks promising.
That even though those graphics aren't impressive by any means they are still far, far above what the Wii is capable of displaying. As a result this is definitely never going to see the light of day, Nintendo will shut it down, they cant have a better looking mod to sh*t on the next crappy Star Fox game they'll drop on some noob American dev team. I have no reason to believe that Nintendo is capable of releasing a good Star Fox game after the craptacular Star Fox: Assault.
In the article they explain that there's a graphics package that requires a 512MB GFX card. Where they may be able to pull it off (the indie devs) is that it's only the characters they borrow and a little of the story... the game is generated in freespace 2.
About that. Was really lame of me to not put further research into it. I was just short on time.
Wow I saw this and thought it was a new Star Fox game. I would have loved it to have been an official SF game. I think it would be great to see Nintendo to allow this game to be finished. But Seeing as SF is a Nintendo IP the game would just have to be brought out on the Wii instead. I so think this would be a big hit on the Wii if it came out.
