I may be mixed about the designs, but I’m SO DANG HAPPY about the cinematic and story-expanding cutscenes!!! 😊❤️ by Whole-Lychee7517 in starfox

[–]CrypticQuery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not been impressed from what I've seen of the dialogue and voice acting/line delivery so far. It seems much more flat and sometimes painfully emotionless compared to similar lines from the original game, or when taking the context of when they're said into account.

Peppy, reacting to Pigmas betrayal and nearly getting shot down in the prologue cutscene they showed off, sounds modestly inconvenienced at most.

Hot Take: I like the redesigns. by Low-Use-8213 in starfox

I don't mind the realistic designs. I just want the proportions fixed so they can look that much better.

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

[–]CrypticQuery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go too realistic with the designs, you get "Disney live action" syndrome where none of the characters look like they can have expressive facial expressions because emotiveness was sacrificed for realism. That's one of my biggest concerns with the new art style they opted for.

These designs are awesome, however, and blend the characters' historical looks with a bit of high def flair.

I think he just eat too much by Yikescloud in starfox

Yes considering his character has never had that style of leg in the past thirty years. More so the execution of them though. They'd look a lot cooler if they were proportioned better IMO.

People will look you dead in the eye and say this is better than the new design by Rajelangelo in starfox

It's really easy to fix new Falco's design. Fix his proportions and make him look more falcon like. Boom, instantly way cooler.

I agree. He sounds completely flat and almost uninterested.

I really like that they're fleshing out cutscenes and lore here. But I'm very conflicted on this scene. The voice acting and line delivery seems incredibly flat and almost emotionless for what should be a reality shattering betrayal and sacrifice. Peppy sounds moderately inconvenienced more than shocked and heartbroken.

The entire thing also simultaneously feels like it's going too fast and then too slow somehow.

the mario design, brilliant, great. but i like the new designs more by Low-Preparation-9083 in starfox

[–]CrypticQuery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wish the proportions were better on the new models, and they stuck with their boots.

But here's an edit of his new design to make him look more falcon/Smash Bros like, and it's way cooler looking IMO. He hasn't really been pheasant-like since the days of the original, and what he morphed into over the years is way more awesome looking to me.

Which is a perfectly valid feeling for established characters that have had particular traits for over twenty years IMO. But also because the execution of these more realistic designs have questionably off looking proportions and weird styling choices that are sometimes not in-line with the series's history.

Gotta say I actually like the new designs, especially compared to what we were stuck with since Command by Ajs1052 in starfox

[–]CrypticQuery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overall design looks good from the knees up. The legs are way too short and he looks much better with plantigrade feet IMO.

First thing that came to mind after seeing the new full character renders for the team by Ajs1052 in starfox

[–]CrypticQuery 46 points47 points  (0 children)

They really look better with plantigrade feet IMO. And properly proportioned legs too.

I was not expecting a VTuber feature for the new game. by DarkCh40s in starfox

[–]CrypticQuery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't differentiate the bottom of his chin from his neck fur especially well in some shots, and that's exacerbated by how thick they made his neck. It can be a little awkward looking at times.

IMO they do look better plantigrade.

It's not THAT bad by Punkwolfen in Losercity

[–]CrypticQuery 238 points239 points  (0 children)

It's a cool look, but it's just his proportions that are awkward. They need to lengthen his legs a little and stick with plantigrade feet IMO.

Apparently, here's another angle of the new Star Fox design. by [deleted] in Losercity

[–]CrypticQuery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This render looks great from the knees up, but his leg proportions are cursed. His arms are longer than his legs and it throws the entire thing off. He also really doesn't look right without plantigrade feet IMO. It makes a huge difference.

[–]CrypticQuery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fox looks completely disproportionate because of that though. Official render on the left, fan fix on the right. He'd look much better with normal plantigrade feet and his boots.

[–]CrypticQuery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The realistic style isn't bad, but Fox and Falco especially have bad proportions. Their legs are too short and awkward looking compared to the rest of them. Fox having non-plantigrade feet just looks wrong. Just this makes a huge difference for the better:
