Topic: Star Fox Zero - OT

That's what I was thinking. If it is to be released this year, it will be a smaller on-rails only game like Star Fox 64. Anything more and I'd expect them to delay it to next year considering we haven't seen anything from the game yet.

If it is to be an on-rails only game like SF64, then I don't see how they can expect it to be the Wii U's big holiday title now that Zelda's been delayed. As great as the game probably is, it won't fly as the big holiday exclusive. It's meant to be a support title. Xenoblade is a better fit as the big holiday title as it's bigger in scope.

I really hope this is off-rails. Rogue Squadron style.

What were the last few games? I only played the first 2.

Adventures - Zelda like adventure game
Assault - 3rd Person shooter (with some on-rails levels) where you can be on foot or jump into vehicles.
Command - Drawing a flight plan on the touch screen in a turn based strategy type of mechanic, when you collide with an enemy you play a open level like the "All-Range Mode" levels in 64.

Command and Assault are my two favorite Star Fox games followed by 64, Original, and Adventures. Adventures is considered a bad game but it really isn't, it just isn't your normal type of Star Fox game.

Personally I hope this game is more of a bigger and more fleshed out version of SF:Assault. I always thought that was a reasonable evolution for the series, but there was a lot of places for improvements.

Also mechs

I agree, with everything except mechs. Mechs almost always play the same as on foot just bigger and possibly slower. Tanks and Jets add new mechanics. Just a personal thing I guess

With how tiny the development is, assuming it releases this year, I think the best we can hope for is SF64 style game. Please for the love of all that is good, include online multiplayer if there is a multiplayer portion. Just do it. Don't become the butt of any more jokes, Nintendo.

Sorry, I need to stop being so cynical. I can't wait to see what the game has in store for us. I'd totally be fine with an on-rails game. I believe that traditional controls were confirmed a while back. Someone linked me to an article a few months ago when I expressed disdain at being forced to wave the gamepad around.

It would be a shame if after hyping the game up its just a pretty on rails shooter sold for $40-$60. I was hoping more like Ace COmbat or something like Assault.

I hope it mainly has vehicle levels but it would be nice to have some on foot levels too like from assault

If it is closer to SF64 I will be expecting a $40 price. If it has more content, through paths or gameplay options then $60 could work. I bet it is more like 64 than any of the other games in the series. It could also add strategic elements from Command. Maybe something like the galaxy mode in Star Wars Battlefront. (I forget what the mode is actually called) I think another SF64 would just be to little of content for $60. I think we need to see a price and a statement about how much content there will be.

Anyone else worried that this might get delayed as well?With little gameplay footage we seen,except a blurry screen?

I just wish this was Rouge Squadron 4 with Star Fox characters instead.

I wish Nintendo would announce a HD remake of Starfox Assault from GameCube. Throw in online multiplayer and the hype is real.

I just wish we had a Rogue Squadron 4.

Next Star Wars film is based on rouge sqaudren SK there's some hope.

Sooo... what do you guys hope will happen in the story for Star Fox U? I just hope its exciting and full of tense moments but also some scenes where you can smile.

I'm to the point where I don't care if the story is horrible, I just want Fox and crew to be Arwings the whole time

Andross tries to take over the lylat system

It will have action, fighting and romance. Business class!

I just hope it it's not like Command

EA won't do it right even if they call it Rogue Squadron 4.
