Not surprised to see the original in the lead, Nintendo for whatever reason (maybe because they are trying to get the Japanese audience more into the game) just can't accept the fact most Star Fox fans prefer the standard arcade action without lame add on features like on foot combat or gimmicky touch screen controls.

Change is good.

Star fox needs to evolve to cater to a bigger auddience then just star fox fans who pprobably not all game on Nintendo consoles anymore.

This is why I liked Adventures even though it was another game adapted to be a start fox game.

What Nintendo needs to do is take the best elements of the SNES game (music), the improvments of N64 game and the good bits of Adventures  and perhaps throw in some freemdom in the flying like there was in Freelancer on PC to make the ultimate star fox game.

Starfox had all these hiccups simply because "on rails" is a negative term these days, thanks to sandbox, rpgs, and shooters were it's all about you exploring.

My favorite Starfox game is Adventures, i know that is was supposed to be something else but it's still a great game but i agree that it's not a true Starfox game. Assault is fun for it's splitscreen multiplayer and the different vehicles to choose from, the story wasn't bad but the controls, the sub par graphics and the short story mode made it ultimately a dissapointing game. I respect your opinion on Command but i think the game is awfull and the worst in the series! I've got not idea what to expect from SF after this game.

So i guess the original StarFox is the best you can get.

Well that is your opinion and you are entitled to it but I disagree.

A starfox in the style of n64 simply would not be enough or cut it in a modern world of gaming. It needs freedom in the air and on the ground as well as a great story with character building like a halo or an uncharted or more recently the last of us.

Starwing is awesome.



I LOVE ICELAND!

You should be spank, for what you said !

Star fox 64 was the best, is multiplayer was great tank/Figther/little guys come was a blast.

The spacing, the freedom figth/ trail figth was well ajusted to not feel bored of the style of the game.


trail fight space game boring, space fredom figth boring. Both in the same game ? it give the good momentum to not feel bored by the repetitive game play.


you should be ashamed of what you said -.-

I think many modern games have proven a great story isn't necessary to being a great game.

Change is great when it is a change for the better.

They have been trying to cater to a bigger audience for about 3 main games so far, hasn't exactly worked gang busters.

Nothing is really wrong with the on rails missions, it isn't exactly like you don't see plenty of shooters that restrict you to a set path where the player must advance through the equivalent of a cooridor or a tunnel to reach a target. Besides, nothing says you can't have more free range missions and one of the highlights of the Star Fox series has been the different paths you can take through the missions so having a bit more of that would be well in line with some of the best aspects of the franchise.

There are plenty of ways for Nintendo to foster new gameplay aspects without sacrificing what the franchise's already fanbase wants from a Star Fox game, they just have to actually put more effort into it besides dropping off an outline with a 3rd or 2nd party developer.

Edit: The fact is the people clamoring for Fox and Falco to have some sort of dramatic story are small, if Nintendo wants the franchise to do well, they need to get the gameplay and presentation back up to levels where it is a fun and great experience. They have the foundation, they just need to build on top of it rather then trying build off to the side.

I think the people clamoring for another star fox in are also small.  There's a difference between liking a game or two 20 years ago, and being a fan of a franchise.  I agree that gameplay is important, but without a good story arch, there's little reason to return to a franchise.  If they could nail a good storyAND great gamplay, they could actually revive the franchise, and not just for one game.
