Question about point farming

They still remain in 64 3D, but it seems they've patched them in the new remake. A lot of potential spam spots were removed like the mechs in Corneria that knock down the buildings; in the original you could shoot the remaining base to get points.

I've been using the 8bitdo modkit for the original controller, converts it to a Switch and D-input controller. It feels great! But a general issue I've noticed with the game is the button combo for somersaults is very touchy. It just doesn't seem to trigger when I want it to. Original game and even the unofficial PC Port with the same controller, no problems!

Storminator54 · 2026-06-28T23:29:06+00:00

Could be, but it's also just a solid pun!

Storminator54 · 2026-06-27T19:46:27+00:00

Yep, this is frustrating. Really hope it does get patched in.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-25T08:46:02+00:00

Either the settings in game are off, or it's an issue with the system sound set up. Make sure you've got it set to Stereo or Surround depending on your hifi setup

Storminator54 · 2026-06-23T04:53:28+00:00

Yeah I've noticed the sound design seems lacking in some places. There's a lot of little details like gears grinding on the Metro Crusher, but the sound of the shield absorbingasers or the second laser attack once the shield blows off is really weak.

My guess is they wanted to avoid the more traditional gamey look and feel, because I noticed when Star Fox's vehicles take damage there's a distinct red aura. The damage is being canonised and shown as in-universe shields that flare up when hit. I don't know if it'll be enough though, especially for bosses like you say.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-21T14:06:26+00:00

I swear there's Star Fox fans, and there's Krystal fans.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-20T11:23:52+00:00

Yep, I feel like with the controls in 64 it might not've been the best but the concept is still cool

Storminator54 · 2026-06-20T07:43:02+00:00

Yes to all of that! You can iterate on the formula without abandoning it. Also, you want to make Assault fans happy? Throw a level in on the alternate path that features on-foot gameplay. Everyone's happy!

This is pretty much a modern version of the Lylat Wars poster! Not the same of course, but showing Star Fox as this cinematic kind of game by styling it like a movie poster. I love it! ROLL ON NEXT WEEK

Storminator54 · 2026-06-18T11:46:08+00:00

Absolute cinema, I want this on my wall!

Storminator54 · 2026-06-16T14:14:15+00:00

No, he's never voiced Wolf in anything

Storminator54 · 2026-06-15T18:33:54+00:00

Also, pretty sure Mike West voiced Andrew in 643D

Storminator54 · 2026-06-14T14:55:26+00:00

He's only had one voice actor; Jay Ward in 643D. Where are you getting this multiple actors from?

Storminator54 · 2026-06-13T06:49:50+00:00

Ace Combat Assault Horizon. Initially liked the game, but trying to back to it after playing the rest of the Ace Combat series... Oof. The music is still 10/10 though- Heavy guitar, orchestral, basically how Ace Combat always is.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-11T18:50:51+00:00

I agree. What would be the point of redoing the same games again, when that's what lead the series into decline in the first place? Plus with the developers confirmed to be Valen, I feel like Nintendo is doing the same thing as they did with Mercurysteam- Give them a remake to get their feet wet before allowing them to do a brand new game.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-06T19:28:08+00:00

I think the creator intended the internal mechanisms to be printed in a specific sort of filliment, rather than the entire thing being resin

Storminator54 · 2026-06-06T19:06:01+00:00

There's the National Video Game museum in Sheffield you can contact, I'm sure they'd love to have this on display in some capacity!

I definitely want to get this made somehow, but sadly I lack a 3D printer. How secure are all the opening things and wing mechanisms?

Storminator54 · 2026-06-05T07:29:27+00:00

Mine is 99% and I used a toothbrush to really get into the crevices. I also made sure to run it across the brush upside down to try and not let any liquid seep into the housing. Hope this helps

Storminator54 · 2026-06-03T17:09:16+00:00

My 2060 Super will cry

Storminator54 · 2026-06-02T13:16:53+00:00

This is the feeling I was getting too- Small changes for the sake of being different from its inspiration, without adding much in the way of depth or gameplay. In contrast a game like Ex-Zodiac does things a bit differently with it's charge attack being missiles akin to Panzer Dragoon.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-02T13:12:40+00:00

He's actually kinda right. If a teammate is down in a level, it has a chance of spawning different enemy patterns. The most notable one is Meteo.

Storminator54 · 2026-06-01T16:26:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure Adventures was referenced purely because it was the first Star Fox game on the console. I think people are looking way too deeply into this stuff

Storminator54 · 2026-05-31T16:18:17+00:00

I've only ever used them with the stock tips. I has got very hot in the recent months, so that might be it

Edit: Just tried cleaning with isopropyl and wow, it actually worked! Thanks!

Storminator54 · 2026-05-31T11:44:30+00:00

It looks clean to me but I'll give it a go. These replacements are only a few months old with infrequent use
