Topic: Star Fox Zero - OT

Agreed. There wouldn't even be anything to worry about with this game if they didn't try to force innovation just for the sake of it, or at least waited to announce it until they had something to show.

I honestly think that one picture of Miyamoto holding the Gamepad up as dialogue was on the TV as he played Starfox U says it all. I hope off-tv play is in this game but I doubt it.

... I honesty forgot this game was coming this year....

Ironically enough, whilst I see a lot of people worrying about the controls and usage of the Gamepad getting in the way of this Star Fox game as it were, it's the fact that this upcoming Star Fox game utilises the Gamepad that has me interested in it.

Whether I'll actually end up getting it depends on whether I like what I see further down the line, and whether I'll have the money for it at the time of it's release, but hearing of how the Gamepad will be utilised to the aim whilst moving with the control stick sounds more fun to me than simply playing with traditional controls. Then again, I'm someone whose preference for playing Star Fox 64 3D was in using it's gyroscope controls, which I felt was a more enjoyable way to play said game.

So how much are we predicting price wise for this game? Do you think they'll go the episodic route, like they hinted, or the full on game route? If it's episodic, I won't be buying it until the whole game is released, hopefully in packaged form.

AFAIK, there has been no confirmation that there will be episodic releases of the game, only that the game itself is episodic in its structure.

I really hope it's not released in episodes like Moon Chronicles. Star Fox64 felt like it was told in chapters, so if it was like that, I wouldn't mind it.

If they added online, where you could either have missions or even a horde mode, that would be a great addition. Really can't wait how this turns out.

I think they'd be wise to include traditional controls in this game. I'm certainly interested in an HD Star Fox regardless, but if I can play it with a Pro Controller it'll be a day one purchase for me.

PLEASE BE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't see why it wouldn't be true. I have no worries what so ever that it will have at least one traditional control option. Still I like to experience what the developer had in mine when designing the game and use that control scheme. Its always more fun that way.

To be honest, I'd still prefer a Starfox game that included the flight elements, but was mainly Starfox Adentures-esque

Now that Legend of Zelda Wii U is delayed... We REALLY need this game to be ground-breaking and amazing. We NEED THIS GAME TO BE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! It can't afford to just be good anymore. So much pressure on XCX and Star Fox U and Splatoon and even Devil's 3rd!

I somehow doubt Star Fox is coming this year either.

!!! No!!!!!!! Don't say that!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering we haven't seen anything from Star Fox, I doubt it's coming this year unless it's a short SF64-like game. The only thing we know about this game is that it exists and was supposed to arrive before Zelda.

I think it is still coming this year. It is a smaller game than Zelda and has had a completely different team working on it. I don't see how it couldn't be done within 9 months, seeing how they have already been working on it for over a year. If this is delayed to 2016 then it would need lots of content to justify that.

Star Fox could easily be made in a years time. It's not a complicated game to make and is usually not too long either. No worries here whatsoever. The question lies with what game will be the end of the year game though unless Nintendo has a big reveal they've kept secret till E3 which wouldn't surprise me one bit.

After the news about Zelda, I am left hoping Star Fox U will resemble No Mans Sky in the sense of seamless interplanetary travel. Then I wouldn't mind waiting for Zelda if it scratches my exploration itch!

2015's Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

I've had that impression for a while too. In the big Nintendo issue Edge did last year, they said the prototype at E3 was Star Fox 64 code (probably from the 3DS version) and assets from a cancelled Wii Star Fox. Not that it means it will be bad, as Star Fox and Star Fox 64 are probably still considered the best the series has to offer. It's just I think it has so much potential for being turned into a bigger game.
