Star Fox General Thread - One of Nintendo’s neglected franchises.

[Chocolate Rain]

I have to say that 4chan should never be trusted lol.

Im honestly so glad I dont take /v/ seriously at all nowadays. Imagine complaining about quippy dialogue in a Star Fox game

Finally, I was waiting for something like this. Not enough, but it will do for now. I recall there were potential characters you could unlock for your chat portraits, I wonder what characters can you have here. I know Andross is an option, but I dunno who else is here.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Sin and Punishment is pretty good.

Same with the Kid Icarus game on the 3DS.

I cannot understand why people like this game so much.
The only good StarFox game was StarFox Adventures.

Holy shit are a bunch of you just sitting around trying to not have fun as hard as possible? The Star Fox release is among the worst I've ever seen for gamers proving that they don't deserve the time of day, let alone a decent video game.

This remake is fun as fuck. A bunch of you are wet farts.

Hey, I loved Star Fox 64....the first time. I have increasingly less interest every time they remake it

Hiring woketards will not end well for Nintendo.

Unfortunately they've been doing it for a long time now

Wasn't the Mario2 movie using a different, non-woke actor for Fox? Why use another for the remake that's meant to promote the damn franchise?

Because Glen Powell, I imagine, is bloody expensive and that would go against Nintendo's ethos to spend as little money as possible on English voice actors by just pulling whoever off the street

*except is totally fine with being addressed as He so is just an attention whore looking for asspats

So, like all of them?

There's no such fucking thing as 'non-binary'

I was a huge fan of the N64 version and I didn't realize until now just how much of that hinged on how much I enjoyed the voice acting. It was actually a meme between my friends and I to dramatically shout out "My Emperor! I've failed you!" if we screwed up something while our parents looked at us like "WTF is wrong with you?"

The new one also doesn't get you pumped to play by having General Pepper dramatically say "We NEED your help, Star Fox! Andross has declared war..." and so on while the music is going. He does still pretty much say that in the remake, but it's implemented differently.

I'm also really salty this exchange was cut after you beat the Blue Marine stage:
Peppy: "Slippy's not such a screwup after all!"
Slippy: "Thanks A LOT, Peppy!"

Peppy honestly just feels like a GPS voice talking to you now. He of course was the one telling you what to do in the original but he also had a personality.

I'm already skipping cut scenes. The added ones are just basically telling you about the levels you can enter and that's about it. We're not getting the fun character interactions in-between missions like I was hoping for that would flesh them out a little more.

The levels looks and play fantastic. They really do. But it's the little touches here and there the N64 version had, that this version lacks, that just made me go "Oh... OK." after I was finished. I didn't get that nostalgia rush or really feel happy with my purchase when I was done. I know Nintendo wants to bleed us dry by bullying us into an online membership to get access to old games, but it would've been an amazing bonus to unlock Star For 64 after getting all medal on Expert mode in the remake.

I'm really wondering how brand new players are fairing. I remembered exactly where to hit the bosses but the lack of feedback you're doing it right, or even if the Arwing/sub/tank is damaged surprises me. If Peppy is down, I'm not sure if new players are going to understand what to do with some of them like the Zoness boss. Hell, they're screwed if Slippy isn't around either and they can't see the damage meter. It was VERY clear in the N64 version if you were hitting the weak point based on the flashes and sound. I get they're going for realism here, but I wasn't even sure if I was damaging Andross's true form until he went down. There's nothing indicating I was hurting him.

I understand a lot of this is going to be viewed as nitpicky, but I am genuinely that kind of retard that picks apart remakes of my favorite games.

As it still stands, I think the only remake I was 100% satisfied with was Super Mario RPG.

Where's that greentext of Miyamoto getting sick of the audience contradicting themselves on what they want?

Man I can imagine the sheer amount of screeching autism from fans when the Ocarina of Time remake releases this fall.

 

[Deinonychus Antirrhopus]

Something about insanity and doing the exact same thing over and over again idk.

Spoiler: Autistic rant about this thread

God, this thread is so fucking boring and I've lost absolutely nothing by no longer keeping up with it. Literal fucking Redditors have more insightful shit to say about this franchise than you people and I find that absolutely pathetic. You people have nothing of value to say whatsoever and yet still insist on speaking anyway. Nintendo's stupid decisions may have killed Star Fox, but this kind of empty, worthless discussion is entirely to blame for keeping it dead.

You completely missed my fucking point, dumbass. I'm not upset that people are talking about the new game, I was pointing out that 90% of this thread has absolutely nothing insightful to say and are just repeating the same few surface-level takes ad infinitum without adding anything new or interesting to the discussion. The fact that you've decided to be a complete faggot in response to me has only served to validate the feelings I already held. If you're so insistent on being a faggot about this then take that shit to Reddit where it belongs. I hope you have fun rolling in your own shit because I'm not going to entertain this discussion any further.

hehe arwing go brrrr

Saw something somewhere that speculated they're being directed via the original Japanese script and delivery. It sounds a bit like cope, but it's a better guess than nothing.

As someone who's actually played the original Japanese one, they're full of shit. The Japanese voice acting and lines are just as peak and legendary as the English ones.

ANDOROFU-SAMAAAAAA!!!... GOMEN-CHAI!

 

[Green Kitbash]

Are there any other good on-rails shooters in the style of Star Fox? I realized that I can't think of any.

I also think that the soundtrack for the SNES game blows 64 out of the water, but the latter had voice acting so the music wasn't quite as important. The only music I really like from 64 is the mission clear and the Star Wolf theme.

Panzer Dragoon Orta comes the closest. The first couple of Panzer Dragoon games are kinda rough and barren though despite coming out on more powerful hardware.

If you want to go real heavy there was a Space Harrier sequel that no one has played since its arcade board would break if you moved the machine. I am not joking

Seriously someone play Planet Harriers and let me know if its good
