So it got revealed that the new Star Fox game is being developed by a random american studio whose greatest achievment is the creation of electric mario kart toys:


Also I swear to god not just keeping the iconic old translations is one of the worst mistakes this game will make.

Nintendo Treehouse showed off three levels (Corneria, Meteo, Macbeth), and I noticed that the bosses don't dramatically explode anymore, but rather are just left in shattered wrecks. Considering the weak-ass Bomb explosion as well, it could be that the devs couldn't figure out how to do such visual effects well, but I also have a feeling that it could also be a mandate from Nintendo to tone down the impression of Fox McCloud killing his enemies.

It really has the same toned down vibe of the TTYD remake's shitty changes that turn stuff into safe and mealy mouthed shit with no bite or even humor. A lot of the changes to the english version, even for shit that's got similar lines makes it longer and softer. Shit like "andross' enemy is MY enemy!" becomes "great emperor andross' enemy is my enemy!" type shit with a much more jank and modern anime VA delivery.

The base gameplay itself seems fine, good even with the weird "modern AAA-ified" character designs. It's like everything else is just fucked around it in the same manner as every game or media tainted with the "modern audience" treatment.

I expected worse given your description. I'll miss the hilariously over-the-top nuke explosion, but this seems alright.

In the wondrous future of gaming, you can't tell if a game's been weirdly censored or if the developers are just incompetent.

At least it's not what happened to mighty number 9's explosion animation right before release. I still have no clue how they managed to fuck that shit up so bad last second.

Ahh, the pizza explosions. Good times. Anyway, there were some big booms in the Nintendo direct trailer for the game, so I imagine they're just saving them for more dramatic moments.

Funny that Event Horizon really goes into unhinged territories that an official game never could, like having corpses flying around in space while Bolse explodes which was inspired from the evacuated pilots in the first SNES game and also the new version of the Moon Mountain boss that literally throws her own body guards at you who splatter on the ground.

That explains why the women (well, single woman) are ugly. Chances are that one of the empty spaces for the chat face might be Krystal. She's too tempting (heh) to ignore.

Wow, imagine not having our mercenary soldier protagonist not kill people during a war, right after their death screams. But it might be incompetence due to UE5 being shit.

Can you elaborate? I don't recall much violence in that heavily abstract game. Also, fan games can't help themselves but to make the OG content edgier, kek.
 
I do understand what you're trying to say, and it makes sense from a business standpoint. But i still don't like it
That’s how I feel about most of the things Nintendo does now. $40 for a Wii game, $20 for GBA, $80 normal games (plural, now that we know about Fortune’s Weave), $35 DLC, increasingly lazy Pokemon, slap a $10 price tag on a tech demo, so on and so forth… millions of people will buy it all anyway, so why not keep ramping prices up?

In the first Star Fox game you could see enemy pilots fly around in space after you destroy their ships though it is difficult to see them normally.

The main dev of EH wants to add corpses for all manned spacecrafts if they get destroyed.

Also the funny thing with the edginess is that he originally complained that Assault was way to edgy, but considering he now has a more positive opinion of that game he apparently decided to make his own game even edgier.

It's fine in isolation, but I just think it's a worse presentation than before, combined with the new boss VA that doesn't sound so much like they're crying their last words anymore. It's cool when the bad guys spectacularly explode to smithereens.

I don't disagree, which is why I'm glad SF64 is still readily available. Choice is king.

That makes so much sense, it pretty much explains everything to the point it's not even funny.
 
Alright, I checked longplays of all of the games of the franchise I didn't play. Star Fox Adventures felt clunky and it's obviously an outside game crammed into the SF franchise, for good and bad. Assault has its flaws but it was a good try. Command is a good idea with terrible execution, doubly so with the shit controls. SF Zero could have been good if it wasn't for the shit controls.
Time will tell what does Nintendo do after this re-re-remake. Probably water down Krystal, as talked about already.

Lastly, I tried the fangame Event Horizon but something must be wrong as all of the ships looked dark, as if something's wrong with the lightning and I can't tell what's going on. Any ideas?

Most of the graphic settings have to be set to ultra to render a lot of stuff correctly. If it still doesn't works correctly I guess you have to bully the dev about it.
 
The cutscenes look like they could be dodgy but you can just skip thoses and frankly I think that the new difficulty selector, challenge mode, and multiplayer all look pretty decent.
The different difficulties actually were a thing in previous versions of the game, it appears like they only tweaked a few details regarding that.

To be honest, i would rather have Krystal to be entirely removed from the series, if the price to keep her around is having her being hit with the ugly stick and her character being botched even worse than Command did.
