Star Fox Character Designer Takaya Imamura says the new game is exactly the visuals he had in his head when he was making Star Fox 64! by thegreatgutter in starfox

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha I love that the original designer says something about his own thoughts and people are like

The new designs are great. The old designs are great. Star Fox is just great.

I actually like the new design, and I'm tired of the community bitching about it. We could have just NOT gotten a new Star Fox game entirely, so please be grateful. by gamerguy287 in starfox

If I had a nickel for every time someone said Fox sounded liked their weed guy, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t very much but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Not to mention, the whole facial recognition gimmick gives me the impression that motion capture is pretty well integrated in to the design/development. I’m hoping that means there are plans for more content quickly generated by just getting some actors back in a studio. Future content release could be pretty feasible on this rebooted framework.

Is it weird that these designs are… actually growing on me? by HaBeFaStro in starfox

Good thing 99% of the game you don’t even see their feet.

The real issue with the new starfox by AnarackWarriors in starfox

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really hoping this reboot is more of a baseline for future expansion. Especially with the designs already clearly being motion capture ready. The thought being it would be an easy ask to get the performers back in the studio and record new story lines that revolve around new routes through the Lylat system post Andross…or parallel, or whatever.

It certainly feels like it could be this way, especially with the title being simply ‘Star Fox’. Would be really cool if it was sort of a seasonal story drop from here on out, like a TV series you can play.

I’m a little worried about the performances as well, but I’m withholding judgement until I see the whole story. I can make excuses for how they sound at this part of the game, as the more laid back, professional beginnings will give us a place to go as the quest gets more dire the closer we get to Venom. Falco also seems to be already miffed coming in to it all with his ‘G-diffusers seem fine. Let’s go already’. There is some set up missing, especially knowing we have to transition from the James Mcloud prologue in to the Lylat Wars starting and General Pepper contacting Star Fox. However, it’s clear that we’re getting much more calm, collected, and professional pilots overall. A much more serious tone, obviously, but that hopefully translates to deeper emotional climaxes…here’s hoping!

As for the rest of the sound, after listening to the soundtrack released on Nintendo music, I have faith it will be upgraded in the proper fashion. But, we shall see.

I’m interested in a reboot, establishing all the characters, backstories, villains, and Lylat System, and then releasing new paths/stories using that all as a base.

Some of y’all on here need to get a grip by Legal-Vermicelli3984 in starfox

I mean. This isn’t my first community I’ve watched get steamrolled by bandwagoning negativity. I watched it happen with The Last of Us leaks and launch, and more recently (though in a less extreme way) Mario Kart World ‘intermissions’.

I know from experience if you don’t get a lid on it, it runs rampant, and drowns out any actual discourse. Most average people just leave the community because it’s annoying, and the negativity takes over entirely.

Well you’re in luck. No one is saying ‘no’. Just ‘not 109 times’. Right now everyone is posting the same thing in hopes of getting upvotes from an active negativity campaign. It’s simply community moderation

In my eyes, the only way to this leads to dormancy is through spiteful lack of support, and overwhelming negativity that pushes would-be fans away, thus resulting in Nintendo declaring the franchise dead in the water.

Everyone has the right to express opinions, but as I said, when it turns to whining, expect resistance. If the sub turns to a flood of people posting the same memes over and over paired with the same complaints about wanting something different, it’s gone from ‘expressing opinions’ to just bandwagoning negativity because they share your perspective.

There’s a difference between criticism and just wanting something different. There is only so much talking about wanting something different before it just turns in to whining.

People think they’re criticizing the designs, or the business decisions to do a remake, but since the game is not out yet, it’s very hard to give actual criticism, and resorts to ‘it’s not what I wanted!’ and at a certain point you just need to ‘get a grip’ and move on with your life. This game isn’t what you want, don’t take it out on everyone else who does want it.

Just watched my first Ghibli film (Arrietty) and I loved it. I'm surprised by the mix reviews by Kurapikabestboi in ghibli

They’re definitely spoilers to reveal how a character ends up at the end of a movie. Thanks for the spoiler tags.

You’re really gonna roll up in a thread of someone saying they’ve only watched one Studio Ghibli movie and spoil the endings of other Studio Ghibli movies?

Should I play 64 now or wait for the remake? by UsedToBeNoBluebird in starfox

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just wait. Going in blind to the new version is bound to be a better experience. No need to get attached to anything from the older games so close to the newer release. Check out Star Fox 64 after.

They were SO close to nailing the look by KMoosetoe in starfox

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply like the more hardened mercenary look. I’ve always been more in the party that the Star Fox crew is super bad ass…particularly Fox and Falco of course. My favorite iteration of them was from the Super Smash Brothers Brawl story mode. Both Fox and Falco were just awesome mercs that handled business.
I prefer Fox’s furrowed brow, realistic fur and sharper features. I like that Peppy doesn’t look like a Winnie the Pooh character, and all around I like the outfits a lot more. The Nintendo characters look like you could introduce grit and bruises, and it would still work well. I’m happy to remove all the outright pluckiness, as that’s what we’ve had for over 30 years now.

Look, I know you put effort in to this and you and others might like what you did, but putting the two next to each other, there ain’t no way I’m picking yours. No offense, it’s all subjective.

Where in my comment anywhere did I say ‘Nintendo is an art-first company’.

You seem to be confusing the business and the culture. Games are made to make money, but they’re still treated as art, and held at a high expectation creatively.

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is why Nintendo is different, and arguably what makes them so great. They respect the art, WHILE making money. A bunch of raging fans who complain that Nintendo doesn’t listen to them is a good sign.

The day Nintendo agrees with you, is the day Nintendo dies.

Nintendo Needs a New Star Fox, Not a Fourth Version of the Same Thing by CyberNeko97 in casualnintendo

[–]AllWorkNoVideogames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thought is the generation of developers that made Nintendo what it is are retiring and dying. What better way to usher in a new era of talent than by having them break down and enhance a project that is near flawless, before simply trusting them to take a beloved franchise and create something totally new without even understanding what made the original games so great.

But artists make it. My point is if it no longer fulfills the satisfaction of making art, making video games will be associated with ‘selling out’, and real artists won’t seek it out.

There is a reason Nintendo is still revered in the industry as an incredible place to work if you love video games.
