Looks good to me. I have never played a Star Fox game, but since I'm a huge fan of Platinum Games, I had to buy this game. Watching the footage from the Direct, now I really want to buy this game, it looks solid, even in motion.
In the Miyamoto interview by IGN, there was a mention at the end that there will be some kind of other amiibo support, in addition to the SNES look. This functionality will be announced later.
Incredible, simply NINcredible. The best use of Amiibo yet (and will be very hard top) IMO. StarFox was my jam on the SNES when I was 11 ever since I first saw it in Nintendo Power. The kid (and adult)in me is really looking forward to this and my 3 year old son just wanted to watch StarFox Zero videos last night. I can't wait to play this with him.
This is the only one and true starfighting Arwing, not that hybrid airplane fighter jet stuff in the later incarnations:
Really can't wait for this,just the box art alone makes you want to play it.Even though I prefer buying digital,partly for convenience and partly due to where I live,that first print edition looks great and I'm seriously tempted to pay the extra and get it delivered to me.I can remember how excited I was when I got Lylat Wars in a big box with the rumble pack inside.Having Guard packaged along with it too,offering an entirely different experience but in the same universe is a great idea.
Like others,I did hope the delay would see online multi-player added but it wasn't to be.Hopefully this will sell enough to convince Nintendo to carry on with the series and add it next time.They really could do with having another big online multi-player game to add to Kart,Smash and Splatoon.Starfox seems like a perfect candidate to me!
This game has definitely improved enough to win me over I think. Graphically it looks a bit better. Most of those complaints seem to be focused on the first level, which still looks like it was left over from a Wii game. Most of the other levels looks good though.
My main worry is that it'll be too short like SF64. I really don't like have to redo a level 4 times or whatever it was.
^ For me it's the same. It went from "Meh, Looks boring" to "probably gonna get it". I don't mind if it's short, as long as the levels are a joy to replay.
I haven't played Star Fox since 64. I am unbelievable excited for this one. I am a little concerned about the controls, but I think there is some great potential for two player co-op. Imagine one person guiding the Arwing with a pro controller and another shooting on the game pad.
Imagine a ship with two cannons and each player can shoot! Or even, two screen multiplayer with player one on the game pad and player two on the tv and each player gets their own ship.
Has the control scheme been modified or is still a little wonky? If the majority of my dog fighting time is spent looking at the game pad then why bother with the TV?

If you don't look at the TV, your ship will crash or fly the wrong direction. If you don't look at the Gamepad, you'll miss your targets. That's why this game is dependent on absolutely flawless level design to work. It's clearly a game where the player will get better with practice.
It seems that they haven't modified the control scheme, but they have added a couple of things that will make it easier for beginners, such as a training mode and auto-targeting. And it seems like they have added some more optional difficult levels through portals.
The control scheme is pretty similar to Affordable Space Adventure (except that Star Fox Zero uses gyro and ASA uses the touchscreen), or skilled Splatoon players who view the map while playing to track the action.
This looks amazing! I had only seen the Direct footage up till this point. I put my money down for a pre-order! I can't wait. I think the controls will be tricky, but worth the time put in to master them.

Nintendo have a great ability of incrementally improving things as they develop them.
I think Mario 3D World, Mario Maker, and now Starfox all looked very mediocre when first shown. Then all then looked slightly better in each successive trailer.
I'm very pleased with how much "all-range mode" we've seen so far in this game. I much prefer those parts of the game.

I agree. It's also a nice contrast to games that end up looking noticeably worse than their initial reveals, which seems to have become something of an unfortunate industry standard.
Right now, my only reservation about Star Fox Zero is how aiming and piloting will ultimately jell in all-range mode, as well as how the ancillary missions (little gyrocopter thing, etc.) will affect the pace of the game. Straying from its shooter foundations has always been the series' weak point, so I hope we don't end up â once again â wishing this one had just been an on-rails shooter. That said, I think the on-rails levels look fabulous â they've nailed the style, and I'm extremely pumped about the gyro aiming paired with analog movement for those straightforward segments. Anyone who plays Splatoon knows that this controls scheme is ace.

Lol, when does that happen?
Or do you mean the various graphical downgrades?

Basically any AAA game that is shown a year before it is released.
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
