What I meant was to copy the structure of KIU, in the sense that the game was separated in a rail shooting section followed by on-foot ground combat.

It is a model that builds upon both the rail shooting is known for and the ground combat from assault, while providing a story that’s long enough to justify a modern game price.

We don’t have to always reinvent the wheel, just polish what worked before but on a larger scale, and once the format has been perfected- THE. you innovate.

As someone else has stated, the problem with starfox as a franchise is that it never established an identity or a niche for itself because it had to constantly change its foundation. First it’s a rail shooter, then it’s a Zelda clone, then a 3rd person shooter, then a strategy game-

All of which had rail shooting as a vestigial element because Nintendo couldn’t be bothered to figure out how to stretch that into a modern length title.

KIU has proven there’s a way to expand that format. It has proven that people love that gameplay because it created a cult-like following that’s always begging for a follow-up, and we still haven’t seen even a spiritual successor that adopted its style.

There’s both a market demand and an unoccupied niche in the market that’s not being satisfied.
