Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Fox On Switch 2?

Gamer83

Maybe it's nostalgia but an easy 10/10 for me. The gameplay is still as fun as it was an 1997 enhanced by awesome graphics and the haptics from the NS2 Pro Controller. The soundtrack is even better now and the sound effects are terrific. Only minor complaint is the voice acting. I don't think it's as bad as some others do but it is very hit or miss. Overall, it's nice to have Star Fox back and hopefully even bigger things await.

Voice acting (which can be hit or miss) aside, I love this remake, hits all the right notes for me just like Metroid Prime Remastered did. Of course, I've always been a fan of Star Fox 64, bought it day one and it basically was my summer in 1997. I see the same happening here, really enjoy the expanded cut scenes, the orchestrated music and it feels as good as ever to play. Damn near perfect gaming comfort food.

I'm a bit disappointed it's only 30 fps but other than that, this game is an easy recommendation. Played it on both Xbox One and PS4, it's by far the best entry in the survivor trilogy and a great game general. I'd say give it a shot even if you're not a Tomb Raider fan. You may miss some references but it can be played and enjoyed as a standalone experience as well.

I'm going to buy eventhough I already own it for PS5, it's a great game, one of my favorites of the last few years. Hoping for a normal game card release not a key card but getting it regardless. Might go digital if it's a GKC because there's no way I'd consider trading this in but I'll support true physical any chance I get, especially on NS2.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Star Fox For Switch 2?

Day one for sure. I had sold my Wii U before Star Fox Zero launched so it's been a while since I played a new one. Obviously this is Star Fox 64, again, but that is one of my favorite games of all time and some new story content is cool, also has a good price point.

The demo was a great idea. I was interested but had it on the 'wait for sale' list. After the demo, and then seeing the $60 price, I decided to pre-order. Happy I did, what I've played so far is fantastic. Reminds me of several of my favorite 7th and 8th gen games with a cool hacking mechanic mixed in for the gunplay. I wasn't sure that'd work but it does, extremely well.

Pragmata on the Switch 2. Just got to the New York City stage, really enjoy what I've played so far. The combo of shooting and hacking, which is what appealed to me most in the demo, is fantastic. It's not complicated and doesn't slow the action. Exploring the environments, digging into some of the background lore has been great and I'm interested to see where the main story goes. The dynamic between Hugh and Diana is also very well done.

Some people have said this feels like a PS2-era game, for me it feels like a cross between some of my favorite 7th and 8th gen games. Lost Planet and Dead Space with a little bit of The Last of Us and Death Stranding mixed in. Not very far along yet, but the game makes a really good first impression and I can't wait to play more. Crazy it's been nearly 15 years since Capcom's last new IP.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pragmata For Switch 2?

Gamer83

Yup, love the demo so I decided to pre-order. First new IP from Capcom in a long time, got some Lost Planet 1 vibes from it in the sense that while it feels a bit familiar to other third person Capcom games it also tries something a bit different with the hacking mini game. Decided to go with the NS2 version for the portability aspect, didn't notice any performance issues in the demo and given how well SF 6 and RE Requiem turned out, I'm not concerned about the full version of the game. Will try to get the Amiibo but I wasn't able to pre-order one, hopefully Best Buy or some other place will have extras for the launch.
