| attaboy said: Would Starfox work in this day and age? I mean, look at the time when Starfox was at its best. It was basically an on rails shooter with scripted events. The game was also very short. You could finish the entire campaign in one setting. Would gamers be willing to pay money for a similar experience now? Every attempt to change things up and expand has failed. I have fond memories of the N64 and Snes titles. Hell, I have fond memories of Starfox Adventures and not so fond memories of Starfox Assault. I don't think it can be done. Bring back Wave Race instead! |
Doesn't seem to hurt games like the Call of Duty, Uncharted and others, most of those games have single player campaigns that are built around scripted events/missions with the occassional deviation.
The only difference is that with Star Fox, the action will/should be more vehicle focus. You can also throw in new play elements like being able to order squad mates to perform certain actions on the screen along with the normal Star Fox 64 type chatter. Not to mention, unless Nintendo is stupid, they should know that adding in a Battle mode similar to the one on the N64 with online capabilities and different maps will draw players or extend the game's playability. Don't know if Platinum would be the right studio but if Nintendo was serious about getting the series back to where it was with the first few installments they would realize that they don't have to completely change the franchise's foundations of Star Fox and Star Fox 64 it is just as simple as building something on top of it.
Heck, I'm sure most Star Fox fans would be fine with a low priced eShop title that total single player was just 2.5 hours with a online multiplayer mode.
