The release of this remake has made me simultaneously witness the most heart-warming and most spergy nitpicky discussions in a good while and all for a franchise about a fox flying a spaceship.

The response to this Star Fox game is utterly baffling. Ocarina of Time is going to be amazing.
Oh man if you think this autistic
 
There's no reason to play the 3D version when its worse in every way than the remake.
It's the same fucking game with better visual and voice direction than the newest remake lmao

This isn't a case where there's a fuckload of new/extra content that makes the original worse in comparison. It's down to "do you want to play the game on ds or switch" or "do you prefer the visual/voice direction of one to the other" and maybe "do you want to do online battle mode"

Both 3ds and Zero redubbed everything from n64 IIRC with just this newest one being fucking weird on the delivery of stuff for the US release. That's three whole iterations where characters sound fine. I can't find uploads of the zero voicelines but you can see it with the 3ds ones like this example.

Some sound ok in this new one but there is no world where you can tell me there aren't some complete fucking stinkers or that the ue5 exclusively makes it "better" lmao
 
Meanwhile, I get great games and the added bonus of being right.
Hooray for you, I guess. You get to tell yourself this game is great (which, to be fair, it probably is only by virtue of being exactly the same game as it was in 1997 underneath it) and you get to pay $60 for it. Me, I'd rather be wrong and not paying exorbitant prices for the same old slop in new packaging
You can't buy it from a local store
That doesn't mean that it's remotely hard to find. Go on eBay and you could probably find about 50 brand new or near new copies
You literally said that people were playing the 64 version over the new one and wasn't even sure if it was selling well.
I said that people who weren't satisfied with the remake would probably stick with the original but, even so, people discussing the game does not necessarily mean the game is popular or selling well. Most of the discourse around this game, that I've seen, is just 'Why did they make this?', 'Ugh, not Star Fox 64 again', 'The new character designs look ugly and uncanny', 'I can't believe this cost $60'
They have. They expanded. Added new modes story, and control options.
Oh wow! New modes! New control options! Wow! Forgive me for my ignorance! I hadn't realised just how much they'd innovated, with this remake
How? Remake is its own thing and has nothing to do with the original game even Square treats them both separately.
Because any discussion of Final Fantasy VII and its characters now tend towards discussion of the remake FFVII and the remake versions of the characters, and when you search online for FFVII, if you search on YouTube or whatever for FFVII cutscenes, you get the remake cutscenes and you get strategy guides and whatever, all to do with the remake
Because it literally has the endorsement of the creator
You're not really answering my question
I wouldn't say command made people "realize the original wasn't good" or whatever. From what I've seen of command gameplay wise it's very sloggy with navigating menus and loading screens just to do short dogfight segments and then back to the menus to set things up to do that again.
That's my point. Command never hurt Star Fox 64 or the SNES original.

An example of a 'sequel' hurting the original is, if you look at Heaven's Gate by Michael Cimino, which is a bloated, overproduced mess of a film. It came out, it flopped, people hated it. And a lot of people who'd praised The Deer Hunter, by the same director, went back and saw that a lot of things that were wrong with Heaven's Gate were also wrong with The Deer Hunter.

Star Fox Command isn't exactly Heaven's Gate to Star Fox 64's Deer Hunter
 
better visual and voice direction than the newest remake lmao
This is a hot take man. The returning cast sound really rough and the remastered visuals aren't great. It also doesn't help that there's no reason to use the 3D gimmick at all much like every 3DS title its the same issue with all the 3DS remakes were the implementations degraded a lot of the visual fidelity. There's a bunch of videos on the subject when the Majora's Mask 3DS remake came out . Once again I'm not a dubfag so the shitty voice direction of the 2026 remake didn't bother me but from what little I saw it just makes it sound like an average anime dub then a corny Saturday morning cartoon that the classic was going for.
If you have to go on ebay that means its not readily available and having to pay $50 for a game that's over a decade old is redundant if there's a new version of the same game out for the same price
Forgive me for my ignorance!
Yes that is considered new innovations.Online multiplayer is a huge addition and adds to its longevity
You're not really answering my question
How? The creator did the scenario and approved of everything that happened in Command that's different from FF7 Remake which was handled by a committee
 
I saw it just makes it sound like an average anime dub then a corny Saturday morning cartoon that the classic was going for.
I'll take a corny Saturday Morning Cartoon over a shitty, low effort anime English dub any day
If you have to go on ebay that means its not readily available
Yes it does. eBay is a massive, multinational online ecommerce platform. When you can't find it, even on eBay, that means it's not readily available.
having to pay $50 for a game that's over a decade old is redundant
Who said anything about paying $50 for it? Most I've seen 64 3D go for is £30 and that's a new, sealed in box copy. You can buy just the cart for a lot less.
Yes that is considered new innovations
This is you right now
The creator did the scenario and approved of everything that happened in Command
You still haven't really explained why that would make people think less of Star Fox 64. So the creators did a new game that people didn't like. How does that affect the old game?
FF7 Remake which was handled by a committee
A committee that consisted mostly of the same people who worked on the original, minus Sakaguchi
 
You get to tell yourself this game is great (which, to be fair, it probably is only by virtue of being exactly the same game as it was in 1997 underneath it)
Can you blame me? I've lived through the release hype for all of the great video games. I've played and enjoyed them.

Remakes started landing on the scene decades ago and all I want are better graphics and the same gameplay/mechanics/whatever you want to call it. Star Fox is the type of remake I want and it is not common.

My grandkids don't want to play Star Fox 64 with me. It is too old. They are wrong and stupid, I know; the fault is with me for raising their Dad wrong. But they have been loving Star Fox remake. It presents a design paradigm that is almost lost nowadays. You pick it up and play. It isn't wasting too much of your time. Gameplay is tight, with a simple approach and depth for those that want it.

If you are getting bogged down in the politics of a voice actor or specific lines of dialog, at least I can say that I enjoy your posts.

And the next Star Fox will be great and what we want because it can stand on the shoulders of this remake, which showed that people do in fact still like straightforward rail shooters.
 
Because any discussion of Final Fantasy VII and its characters now tend towards discussion of the remake FFVII and the remake versions of the characters
This is especially true and has muddied FF7 discourse. Every now and then when I was discussing the OG online, people -- likely newfags -- chimed in getting story details mixed up with 7R's logic. One in particular is Jenovaroth using the Sephi clones to travel around the globe or to project either of themselves onto the clones when originally, they were just mumbling retards doped up on little GPS J-cells leading them towards 5Groth tower, while Sephi was doing his best Superman impression using Jenova's body to zip across the sky. There are other examples, but I can't recall what they are atm.

You do you I guess. I'd rather a new game. There's Star Fox 64 3D for people who think the original Star Fox 64 looks too old

The 3DS game was cool. I liked it a lot.

But I only ever played it in N64 mode. The 3DS mode changed the gameplay too much.
 
It's been confirmed a woketard have been doing the voice for Fox. Hiring woketards will not end well for Nintendo.
The delivery of the "We're Star Fox" line here was incredibly fruity and something told me some flavor of gay was behind it. Glad to know I was correct.

Also huge missed opportunity for the remake to have a WaW Black Cats like level where you're constantly shifting gunner positions while the whole ship takes damage and you need to move depending on the enemy location. Plus it'd be a good way to have the whole crew constantly talk to you during the mission and show that the team can be high caliber professionals sans the constant banter when the situation requires it. (Peppy or Rob advising you on where to move next, Slippy running back and forth patching the constantly breaking ship while Falco curses every time a turret overheats or runs out of ammo)

Also noticed that the thread's sperging actually managed to push it to the front page for quite some time, never would I've imagined that a space furries on rails shooter would manage to achieve that kind of traction.

Considering the remake makes the noob mistakes of the lines being so long, that they're automatically interrupted when another line HAS to come in, I don't think that would work well.

Now, interrupting this aspie slap-fight to present you the database, one of the reasons to bother with the remake!

 
Not remotely a high bar since its the UK but you take what you can get

Well a lot of people will surprisingly not. The reason why the voice lines of the 64 games became memes wasn't because they were done well it was because they sounded silly and over the top. If they really gave that much of a shit about the voice cast why did they not care when they were replaced for years until their return in the 3DS remaster and Starlink which they ignored? Its just performative. Same thing happened when David Hayter returned in Metal Gear Delta
When you can't find it, even on eBay, that means it's not readily available
When something is on ebay it means its not readily available because it means you need to buy it at a second hand market because you're not getting it from and official store sealed. You're basically justifying the existence of this remake due to how poorly Nintento preserves their games.
Who said anything about paying $50 for it?
Right now on ebay is $50 new same price as the remake. That's another thing about the second hand market is the fixed price rate unless you want to buy a used damaged copy. This is all for a inferior remaster btw
This is you right now
Pretty sure "ONLINE MULTIPLAYER" is not a new hat
You still haven't really explained why that would make people think less of Star Fox 64.
You still haven't explain why FF7R, a complete separate game and story, would ruin the original FF7 by existing. You can ignore it and nothing changes
A committee that consisted mostly of the same people who worked on the original,
There's only like a few people who worked on the original involved in Remake and it has a different writing team entirely.

So it sold better than two games that sold like shit. In the YouKay. Right
The reason why the voice lines of the 64 games became memes wasn't because they were done well it was because they sounded silly and over the top
....it's a fucking rail shooter starring a cartoon fox and his woodland furry friends

It's not that they care about the original actors so much as it is that new actors sound shit, and at least Nintendo made the effort, with the 3DS version and Zero, to get the old actors back
Same thing happened when David Hayter returned in Metal Gear Delta
First of all, people love Hayter and were outraged when he was replaced by Kiefer for MGSV. Secondly, Hayter didn't 'return' for Delta, Delta just recycled the PS2 audio.
When something is on ebay it means its not readily available
I think you and I have a very different definition of 'readily available'
Right now on ebay is $50 new same price as the remake
Well then look somewhere else because I've seen it for far cheaper
Pretty sure "ONLINE MULTIPLAYER" is not a new hat
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: ok
You still haven't explain
I just did. FFVII Remake has the same title as the original, features the same characters and recounts the same events. If you search FFVII, you get news and information about the remake. If I go on YouTube, for example, and search 'Cloud Aerith Gold Saucer', of the top ten results 8 of them are the bloody remake and only two of them are from the original. The remake is clearly supplanting the original even if the original still is widely available.

Not at all comparable to Star Fox 64 vs Star Fox Command which can't even really be confused.
There's only like a few people who worked on the original involved
Least of all Tetsuya Nomura, Yoshinori Kitase, Kazushige Nojima and Motomu Toriyama. The only people from the original who aren't working on the remake are Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of Final Fantasy) and Nobuo Uematsu (beyond one track).

I think what people don't want to accept is that the FFVII creators are all shitty hacks, especially Nomura, and they really needed Sakaguchi to tard wrangle them, which is why the series has been shit ever since he had to fall on the sword for Spirits Within

Star Fox and Metroid fans are the only subgroup of Nintendo fans that actually hate when their games perform well or maybe this is just another form of tortantic where if you doompost hard enough you'll probably get what you want


....it's a fucking rail shooter starring a cartoon fox and his woodland furry friends
....that you're currently sperging over. The point is nobody took the voice acting in the original seriously back then and they were pretty much the standard not the exception when I listen to the voice acting in the remake I just hear generic anime voice acting which is standard now.


It's not that they care about the original actors so much as it is that new actors sound shit, and at least Nintendo made the effort, with the 3DS version and Zero, to get the old actors back
No they never gave a fuck until everyone said it was a problem same with the redesigns. But here's the thing sticking so close to the original did not help Zero whatsoever so this is just a case of a loud minority.


First of all, people love Hayter and were outraged when he was replaced by Kiefer for MGSV.
Hayter's performance was very diversive among fandom even back then because he could not emote to save his life and was phoning it in badly by Peace Walker. What Kojima did to him was shitty no doubt.


Secondly, Hayter didn't 'return' for Delta, Delta just recycled the PS2 audio.
He did record new dialogue and was involved with the script touch ups actually I mean hus return was plastered all over the promotion for Delta annnnnndd nobody gave a shit kinda just proving that all that outrage was just performative.


I think you and I have a very different definition of 'readily available'
And I can't find something immediately at the first hand market i.e. at the direct retailer then it's not readily available. Telling someone "just go to ebay bro" just justified the existence of the remake even more because Nintendo sure as fuck wont reprint new copies of the 3D version.


Considering all everyone has been talking about with this remake is the multiplayer. Concession accepted.


FFVII Remake has the same title as the original
They DISTINCTLY subtitle the remake trilogy differently from the original (FF7REMAKE, FF7REBIRTH, FF7REVELATION) you would have to be a genuine RETARD to think they're the same.


features the same characters and recounts the same events.
Ah yes everyone's favorite character Chadley from the original or all these fan favorites that that the remake has given more spotlight to!

Wow its almost like the remake is newer and the algorithm is just always going to direct you to whatever is the latest trends just how I can search for Star Fox and see stuff directly from the remake and not the SNES game from 30+ years ago.


I think what people don't want to accept is that the FFVII creators are all shitty hacks
Did you forget about the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII?
 
Star Fox and Metroid fans are the only subgroup of Nintendo fans that actually hate when their games perform well
Except that neither of them have performed well for a very very long time
....that you're currently sperging over
You're the one sperging. You're the one complaining that the original voices were cartoony and unserious (this for a cartoon fox). You're not even denying that the new voices are shit, which begs the question of what it is you're arguing about
But here's the thing sticking so close to the original did not help Zero whatsoever so this is just a case of a loud minority.
The fact that Star Fox Zero's character designs actually looked like fucking Star Fox and not some weird uncanny reimagining for Star Fox was not one of its problems.

None of the complaints about Zero that I've seen were that Nintendo tried to stay true to the style of Star Fox 64 or that they tried, as far as possible, to get back the actors from 64. All the complaints that I've seen were that it controlled like dogshit, the original parts were shit and all the good parts were really just Star Fox 64 again. So Nintendo, in their infinite wisdom, decided that what people really wanted was....Star Fox 64! Again! But without any of the things that made Zero actually good or gave the original its charm. And with the implicit threat that, if Nintendrones don't immediately go out and buy it, there won't be any Star Fox games that aren't Star Fox 64 again.
Hayter's performance was very diversive among fandom even back then
Like hell it was. Hayter was immensely popular. To the point that fans have actually invented conspiracy theories as to why Kojima replaced him. Something to do with Kojima's ego being so big that he couldn't handle Hayter upstaging him
He did record new dialogue
These were minor dialogue changes that probably went unnoticed by most players. The majority of the game still uses the PS2 audio. It's not like Twin Snakes where they re-recorded the entire thing (and the reaction to Twin Snakes as well as the fact that Snake Eater was probably recorded in a soundproof booth demonstrates exactly why they didn't re-record the audio for Delta)
I mean hus return was plastered all over the promotion for Delta annnnnndd nobody gave a shit
Because A) it's still the same old audio they've been hearing since 2005, B) it's for an unnecessary remake of a game that's still widely available and C) more crucially, Hideo Kojima had absolutely nothing to do with the game whatsoever
Telling someone "just go to ebay bro" just justified the existence of the remake even more because Nintendo sure as fuck wont reprint new copies of the 3D version.
My point was that anybody who wanted the 3DS version can easily get a copy. It's not hard to find.
They DISTINCTLY subtitle the remake trilogy differently from the original (FF7REMAKE, FF7REBIRTH, FF7REVELATION) you would have to be a genuine RETARD to think they're the same.
Did I say that I think they're the same? No
Ah yes everyone's favorite character Chadley from the original or all these fan favorites that that the remake has given more spotlight to
So you're denying that Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, Zack, whoever else are all in the remake? That if I type in, say 'Aerith backstory' onto YouTube, I won't get the remake, the original will just come right up?
Wow its almost like the remake is newer and the algorithm is just always going to direct you to whatever is the latest trends
Yes, and it's fucking cancer. It's like when they made Ghostbusters 2016 and all the autocomplete results directed you to that, the shitty reboot that failed, rather than the original film, which people actually cared about
Did you forget about the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII?
No, but I've tried to (Except Last Order. Last Order was fucking cool)

Anyway, the cope with the Compilation is that not all the original people worked on it. With FFVII remake, almost all the original people are working on it, except Sakaguchi and Uematsu. There was also the additional cope that 'Yeah the Compilation is shit but if we keep buying it, eventually Square Enix will remake FFVII and THAT will be good'. Sound familiar?

And in response to just pistisome news over its performance you had to make a snide remark like we get it you've made it very clear you'd rather just play the same game over and over ad nausea.


You're the one sperging. You're the one complaining that the original voices were cartoony and unserious (this for a cartoon fox). You're not even denying that the new voices are shit, which begs the question of what it is you're arguing about
You are the only one sperging here my guy because I never complained about the old voice work at all just point out that reason why they became memes wasnt because they were good or well acted even if you want to try to draw a comparison its just the same shit different flavor.

The fact that Star Fox Zero's character designs actually looked like fucking Star Fox and not some weird uncanny reimagining for Star Fox was not one of its problems.
And its the worst reviewed and worst selling Star Fox so nobody gives a fuck. This obsession over "not muh" is the reason why so many franchises are now dead and why companies aren't even listening to these retards anymore because they never put their money where they mouth is.



None of the complaints about Zero that I've seen were that Nintendo tried to stay true to the style of Star Fox 64 or that they tried, as far as possible, to get back the actors from 64. All the complaints that I've seen were that it controlled like dogshit, the original parts were shit and all the good parts were really just Star Fox 64 again.
No this is cope because if that was case then why does the remake have a way better reception than Zero? Hell even the shit people were bitching about (the voice work and redesigns) are getting praised while Zero got shat on for being 64 AGAIN despite have way more deviations and story changes in comparison to the remake so its less about the controls being bad but more about all the elements in Zero culminating into a product that was less than satisfactory. Zero is a perfect example of when you try to pander you can still turn out shit because now 10 years later fan will still say the control scheme is the game's only problem.


Hayter was immensely popular.
Thats why his career went nowhere and Kojima next game will have that tranny from Euphoria


These were minor dialogue changes that probably went unnoticed by most players.
Nah they were pretty noticeable due to the fact that the remake was pretty slapdash and all and had some pretty godawful mixing and visuals.


So you're denying that Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, Zack, whoever else are all in the remake?
No Im saying that its very very hard not to differentiate the remake faggotry with the original because they go hard on pushing the new shit over the old constantly to the point where most of it feels bloated.


Well thats another can of worms.
 
you've made it very clear you'd rather just play the same game over and over ad nausea.
Okay. Clearly you've not been paying attention to my posts at all
I never complained about the old voice work at all
The reason why the voice lines of the 64 games became memes wasn't because they were done well it was because they sounded silly and over the top
The returning cast sound really rough
a corny Saturday morning cartoon
the shitty voice direction of the 2026 remake
Uh-huh
And its the worst reviewed and worst selling Star Fox
Because the control scheme was shit and it was released for a DOA platform with a shitty install base in the first place. If it were released for Switch it probably would've sold better
No this is cope because if that was case then why does the remake have a way better reception than Zero?
Because it's the same fucking game! It was a good game in 1997 and the underlying game is exactly the fucking same. Also the gaming press, don't know if you've noticed, are completely bought and paid for. They will continually eat shit and continue to call it ice cream
while Zero got shat on for being 64 AGAIN
Because Zero actually billed itself as a new game and it turned out that it was the same old game. So understandably people were more hostile to that than to something that is explicitly billing itself as a remake
Thats why his career went nowhere
Define 'nowhere'. He was never a serious actor. He was a Hollywood screenwriter who did acting on the side. He actually wrote the screenplays for some fairly big films, least of all the first two X-Men movies, the Scorpion King and the Watchmen movie
Nah they were pretty noticeable due to the fact that the remake was pretty slapdash and all and had some pretty godawful mixing and visuals.
I'll take your word for it
 
Clearly you've not been paying attention to my posts at all
Your posts are either just sperging about the remake you haven't played or people enjoying the remake.


Ok so literally all you've done is spliced several different posts out of context that dont even connect to what you're talking about it.


Because the control scheme was shit and it was released for a DOA platform with a shitty install base in the first place. If it were released for Switch it probably would've sold better
And this folks is called cope because if anyone actually read the reception people's issues with Zero went beyond just the control scheme. Its why people still dont give a fuck about Zero and why they didn't bothered to port it to the Switch despite them porting other equally unpopular and poorly selling games.


Because it's the same fucking game!
Zero is the not the same game as 64 it is way less similar to 64 compared 3D and the remake the problem with Zero is that all the new elements are ass and clash with the old implementations of them so you have a garbage level design, garbage mechanics all wrapped in a garbage control scheme being repackaged in a retelling of the Lyatt Wars THAT is why Zero is shit its the embodiment of everything that was wrong with Nintendo in that era something that just exist to be a showcase of poorly thought ideas and left to die.


Because Zero actually billed itself as a new game
Which it was. It had new mechanics, new levels, new missions it was just shit.


He actually wrote the screenplays for some fairly big films
the Scorpion King and the Watchmen movie

Okay so I saw that Star Wolf still has their injured redesigns in Venom II if you defeat them on Fichina earlier in the route, too bad I'll never see it myself because the later is the worst level in the game for scoring points
