I'm glad Star Fox is getting a new game.
The problems I have with Star Fox Zero
It's a reimagining, so technically it's just Star Fox 64 but with a new coat of paint.
While it looks amazing, I kinda want a new game from where ever they left off in the continuity.
Problems other people have
- The game apparently looks like it's GameCube quality? I personally don't see it.
- The game seems lacking in certain parts.
- WHEREARETHEVOICESASDFGHJKL::" (according to some people who looked for gameplay footage)
And more, just these were the ones I noticed the most...?
Well, whatever problems others have, we can only hope that Nintendo can work on making this game what everyone wants to be from a Star Fox title.
However why is this reimagining a good thing?
This game takes 64 and elements from both SNES and SF2. and makes a lovechild out of it.
And because of that, we may have a chance for characters that never saw the light of day.
Younger audiences that never experienced Star Fox 64, or it's remastered 3DS version may find themselves being fans of Star Fox after playing this.
Star Fox 64 for the most part always felt like to me that you were playing an arcade game at home.
You're basically playing an On-rails shooter trying to get the most points while not trying to die.
New Transformation and vehicles means new ways to play.
With the Chicken Walker, and the Helicopter.. thing with the robot guy, this game may not be all on-rail, and you'll have some control to explore a little, as well as changing things up.
Remember that mission where you have to save Pepper in the tower from robot attackers? You could choose to take them all from the air or go into the Chicken Walker form and do it. And even that one boss that was shown. You got some options, you can either take down it's parts and go inside of it to take out the core. or you can shoot some things and win, however this would result in the bad guy escaping in a rocket he had in the center of it. If there's different ways to do things, I can see myself playing this a lot.
What do I also want?
I won't guarantee anything but.
Completing Story Mode - Unlock Star Wolf sub-story (Give us more to play!)
Completing 100% - Unlock new Characters to use in missions (like from SF2, or even playing as Falco, Peppy, Slippy, or Krystal? although this game is a bit away before Adventures happens)
Challenge Mode - Play the game again but with a new difficulty!
Online Multiplayer - How cool would it be to have FFA or team dogfights? Just let's not do that facecam thing SF64 3D did..
Amiibo Support - Amiibo themed Vehicles maybe?
