>man on payroll says new product good and "the intended vision" And Final Fantasy 7 was always supposed to be what Remake made of it.
>>738720226He retired years ago, he's not on Nintendo's payroll anymore.
>>738720107So why isn't Slippy wearing a red hat?
>>738720226the less anthropomorphized style was the original
>>738720293>senile elderly who can't remember what he had for lunch two days ago says new thing is "exactly what he intended" 30 years agoNot exactly making the argument look better
>>738720572>what he had for lunch two days agoYour mom's pussy lol
>>738720303Scientists Hate This One Trick
was fox always a cocky dudebro or is it new?i haven't played any games outside of the first two
>>738720107it looks like they just copied the body proportions of the raccoon in the marvel shit
>>738720107Those are all bot posts by microsoft and sony. rival corps that hate the fact that nintendo released a handheld console that can push 4k for under 500 dollars.
>>738720107>>738720293>He retired years ago, he's not on Nintendo's payroll anymore.One day you guys will understand people lie for various reasons, including attention.
>>738720303He underwent a blue shift retard
>>738720107He also said he liked the movie design more than the remake one, but I guess that’s something we’re going to conveniently leave out to support our narrative. The Japanese are prone to backtracking their comments if they feel like they’d take a social besting for badmouthing their peers, but you should ALWAYS pay attention to what they say first as it’s probably their most sincere take.
>>738721916The movie design is horrible, it doesn't scream Fox. They made him too Zootopia. Zero was perfect.
>>738721985>Zero was perfect.Maybe in terms of clothes and proportions, but Zero was almost as bad as Command for the “bell head, duck mouth” Fox design. He needs a full muzzle.
>>738722058I hate his brows in the movie, it's too rounded and pronounced. It needs to be blended in a bit.
>>738720107I hope Samurai uses these designs for the next Smash Bros
>>738722513I was more bothered by how pronounced they made his lips. Yeah yeah, mammals often have black lips, but every time he opened his mouth it looked like he was wearing lipstick.
>>738721071He's always been a cocky little freak.
>>738720107Of course Imamura-san, you always intended Star Fox to look realistic...
But furries like the designs. It's just 64 boomers throwing a tantrum over change, as fucking usual.
>>738723356Seems to me like he didn't have enough drawing technical skill to realize his vision.
>>738720435>muh realism>muh Thunderbirds puppets>puppets had plantigrade legs>Fox didn’t have the wimpy chud snout>Falco didn’t have back problems to look for “bird-like”>highly stylized to feel like Thunderbirds props and not a “Nintendo HIRE THIS MAN!” unreal engine projectThey shit the bed, plain and simple.
>>738723492Cubies are the ones that can't handle change though
>>738723908You realize that the GameCube had THREE games with vastly different Fox designs, right? If anyone is used to change, it’s them.
>>738723908>cubieDon’t you have to go gargle Aonuma’s balls for inventing rebranded Ubislop and calling it Zelda somewhere?
>>738724019I hate nuzelda, it isn't just different from gamecube, it's different from decades of games across multiple systemsMy hate for gamecube fags is chiefly around smash bros
A japanese man saying the company he worked for did a good job? Clearly that's his true and honest opinion.
>>738723492>Furries like the designs!No. No they don't.Furries like cute things.These designs were made to distance Star Fox from its fandom and build a new one.I doubt it will work.
>>738724190What you need to understand about furfags and star fox is that to the the games are a temporary amusement, whose main purpose is to fuel fan projects for the next decade. In their minds, the designs are fine because the fanart will fix it anyway.
>>738724620I agree with the other dude. Furries really don't seem to like the new designs.
>>738724082>My hate for gamecube fags is chiefly around smash brosMy mistake then, carry on, those guys are fucking faggots.
>>738720107>bskyWhy are you trans?
>>738720107>bluesky threadkill yourself faggot nigger
>>738720107It's called corporate politeness
>>738723356And then they produced the Starfox puppets from those base designs, and apparently they produced more video with them but it was cut due to the fear of Nintendo thinking that customers would be disappointed when the game didn't look as good as the puppets.
>>738720107I actually think the new designs look pretty good for everyone other than Star Fox + Katt. Bill, Pepper, Star Wolf all look great. They've got time to do a final pass on visuals, they may be able to spruce up the main cast a bit prior to release.Honestly the real issue is that its yet another 64 remake. What's a man gotta do for a NEW game?
Would people want a new timeline or interquels or just sequels to Command or what
>>738723356>>738720107my biggest unironic complaint with these new designs is slippys hat should be red
>>738728369>they've got time to do a final pass on visualsNope, the game launches in a month and marketing material already features these designs prominently, they aren't going to be altered in a few weeks time before the game goes to print, assuming it's not already being printed now, remember it still needs to ship to local warehouses a week or two before launch.
I thank Christ I hopped off the Nintendo plantation after the Wii U. Modern tendies will accept, gleefully pay for and cope about every new product.
>>738721916Provide the exact quote with a source, not a clickbait headline.
>>738728758>Nope, the game launches in a monthOh fuck shit you're right, I forgot its fucking May already. Damn. Guess I can only hope they revise them for future titles.
>>738728867>Guess I can only hope they revise them for future titles.They will, these designs may only be for this game, hopefully Star Fox finally finds itself a permanent home so we can more games.
>>738720107Holy shit the discussion on this remake is retarded. If you could get past the first step of noticing Nintendo is making the Star Fox they wanted to make, you'd realize they're going to add the missing content that they ran out of time for. 3DS was a port. Zero was given for Platinum to reimagine. This one immediately tells you with its character designs that Nintendo doesn't care about outside influence, they're making it as they wanted it to be.
Fuck the visuak designs, what I don't understand is why Fox's personality seems to be inherited from his atrocious Adventures portrayal. Same with that faggot ass cameo in that shit movie.It's like it's not even the same character. What's the point?
>>738720107doubt it, there's interviews from the time that say that Miyamoto wanted them to look like puppets. these look like taxidermied animals or even a bit like Fantastic Mr. Fox
>>738729160Nah. Dylan asked to do new stuff with 64 3D and got cockblocked. This is going to be the same content again, just with more cutscenes.
The Star Wars Special Editions are exactly what George Lucas wanted to make in 1977
>>738720107>>738720435I call bullshit. Someone at Nintendo probably told him that the press was quoting him and asked him to walk it back. Those things look nothing like the puppets and I don't know why people keep spreading this claim.
>>738729352That was before his addiction was known. Man was just spouting things he'd seen in his dreams.
>>738723492You realize that drawing was made by a prominent furry artist, right?
>>738720107And the Special Editions are exactly what George Lucas had in mind for the original trilogy back in 1977
I dont like the feet. But realistically, im not going to see them in the game anyway.
>>738720107>Takaya Imamura says the Switch 2 designs are 'exactly the visuals' he had in his headThis is the same idiot responsible for the peggle art endings in command btw. Even worse he's responsible for the stories too.
>>738729569>Source: Anon's asshole
>>738720107This nigga sang a different song right after the trailer, Shiggy must have raped him in the ass so now he changed his mind.
>>738729508I'm built like the Fox on the right aside from the feet, tail, and head.
>>738729742>Command story BADWhy?>Uhhhh KURSEDYeah, that's a bad ending, retard.
>>738729824>Nooo everyone wanted to see Slippy get married and have kids!We could go back even further, where he made even more royal fuckups, oh oh wait that's right he was being "familiar with Shiggy's thinking" on all of it and it wasn't his fault.
>>738729508Do you have comparison for the SNES and 64?
>>738729824Characters literally appear on the Great Fox and do missions with Fox with no explanation. Even fuckin' Star Wolf.
>>738723492>>738724190There is no group besides the nintendies forcing themselves to that overall "like" these designs. Maybe half the furries like it, the other half think it's shit. I hate them, some tweaks to the proportions can make them tolerable but I dislike the digitigrade legs in general. Nintendo of all fucking people pushing for a more realistic interpretation is a stupid idea, no one ever went for a Nintendo game/console going "wow look at these realistic graphics and designs!", and that's all it has since if you remove that it's just ANOTHER fucking remake/retelling/reboot of the original.
>>738729923>The story of this game is bad because if you choose to play as Slippy and only prioritize Slippy's personal concerns, you get an ending where Slippy only cares about his personal concerns.We got a real deep thinker in this thread, lads.
Reminder that Star Fox has never had digitigrade feet on the main characters. That was part of its specific brand of anthropomorphism and Nintendo apparently forgot because they hired that man.
>>738720107I really don't mind the new designs outside of the fucking legs. If they just had the regular legs they have in every other appearance, I could adjust comfortably.Well that and Katt, holy fuck did they ruin Katt. I don't know WHAT they were thinking there.
>>738729958I remember all the Star Wolf paths either being that you met them on field first or Krystal ran off to them. Only things like you're saying that I can remember is Lucy.
why are people, in this very thread, defending assault
Furries sure get upset when someone designs an animal character they don't want to fuck. Same thing happened with Blacksad
>>738720107I like the new realistic design but I hate they don't have the metal legs
>>738720107Imamura the day of reveal:>I guess this is what happens when I'm not around to superviseImamura, today>It's exactly what I had in mind!How does one square this circle?
>>738729508>Those things look nothing like the puppets and I don't know why people keep spreading this claimThe puppets were made from real fur and feathers.
>>738730190Because it was kino
>>738730190Because Assault was the last time Star Fox actually tried to expand beyond being just an arcade game and grow the universe. It had some very big ideas that would have worked a lot better if it hadn't been rushed and if it hadn't suffered from early third person shooter growing pains. It's the final console game of the Star Fox 64 renaissance and it showed a promising direction for the series to go in, but Nintendo went back to the drawing board instead of iterating and improving.
>>738720107It is known the furries have their own idea. Nothing new there.
>>738730190Because it’s a fun game. Played it with my Halofag buddy back in middle school. It just needed stronger single-player.
>>738730029>The story of this game "Stories" anon, there's 9 awful non canon stories nobody in the entire fandom asked for.>>738730210I think it's funny out of all the titles they could have astroturfed they chose the deadest red flag of them all to come out of the wood work on simply because it seems close enough star wars to the normie sphere what with all the boomer gamers who quote it. You're totally convincing everyone, especially the last 30 fans of this series whose 40 post threads get reply locked or sent to /trash/.
>>738730190Worse, why are people defending fucking COMMAND? Whoever worked on that game deserves DEATH, I dont care about their opinions.
>I had this idea in mind the entire time!>His last idea "the entire time"
I hate Krystal and I hate the British
>>738730512Katt dyes her fur, please understand.
>>738730454It's a singular story with different paths. Several endings overlap with each other and most of they key events play out no matter what route you're on.Saying "it's bad, it's not canon" isn't actual criticism.
>>738730482Worse, why are people defending Star Fox 1? Or 2? Or Adventures?As a Star Fox fan, I fucking hate Star Fox!
>Lylat Wars Remake Number 4That's great and all but we're all just waitening for Adventures 2.
>>738730581>It's a singular story with different paths.It STARTS with the same story, and only a few really continue that story (the story is about how a multi billion dollar company tried saving its series by dedicating a game to getting rid of the one character more popular than it)>Saying "it's bad, it's not canon" isn't actual criticism.Does saying "it's bad because it's not a starfox game, but it's still canon" actual criticism?>>738730661See this? This is a real Starfox fan.
Will this game have the on-foot vs. mode?
>>738720107so? they suck
>>738730894>it's not a starfox gameStrange idea, but you seem more asshurt that Fox's waifu broke up with him than with the writing itself.
>>738730902>this game will have the on-foot vs. modeSource?
>>738731072>Dedicating one entire game to Fox getting a girlfriend and then dedicating another to...breaking up with her. It is indeed a strange idea.
You guys notice how they talked about the blue marine on the reveal trailer, despite it being used for 1 level?
>>738731158Translate it again, saar.
>>738731583Concession acceptsed
>>738731158He's asking a question
>>738731340Yeah, maybe they are adding more levels or something. Did feel like they were leaving stuff out.
>>738731692Your really not making any sense right now
>>738731692No redeemds
>>738730118something with the proportions is totally off compared to the n64 versions, the legs make them look misshapen. i agree with kat though they look methed out and dont really seem like its based on the same character. not like it matters much because they were in like 2 levels. but its a strange change.>>738730230i always thought they were just boots growing up but regardless the proportions in the new designd doesnt work. its especially annoying because it should be a fast easy fix.
>>738731302I think that's actually in its favor desu.Adventures rushes to get them to bone and then Assault doesn't do much with them. Command steps back and presents a bunch of avenues to examine the core cast and then offers a few variants on how to read Fox and Krystal as people based on how you think they would react to things.
>>738732052All you're doing is describing the premise of the games. What is your actual reasoning for it? I wanted a railshooter. Why did they take this high rated railshooter and turn the main character into a simp cuck?>>738731340It's an extended edition much like a book. Complete with expurgation, bowlderization, edits and "modernization".
>>738732305You do know a lot of the stuff they are adding comes from the Japanese strategy guide, right?
>>738732305>Why did they take this high rated railshooter and turn the main character into a simp cuck?These two things aren't tied together.You're just trying to avoid saying "I don't like things being different."
>>738732669Thats a bot. Look at the second reply.
>>738732747Fuck me I'm retarded
>>738729508This whole "they aren't the same exact thing" is such a dumb fucking argument. Nobody is saying they're trying to replicate the EXACT look of puppets. They just mean it's going for a similar style of "it's amusing to see realistic animals piloting spacecrafts". You fuckers are so desperate to strawman its unreal
>>738732459That's yet another aspect of Starfox I don't really like, there's a shitload of lore and it's all region locked to moonrunes and drip fed scribbles on napkins over the ages. It's so infuriating that american fans couldn't help but invent their own >>738732669"I don't like things being different when there is literally no logical reason for it to be, or when making it different doesn't work especially when you double down on the retardation".So they either learned their lesson or gaslit their fandom into accepting they make money making cheap shit and remakes of the same game because it's the cheapest, easiest and most profitable shit to make. Because whenever they try "different" they can't help but fuck it up. I think this round of starfox is their desperate attempt at at least trying a blend of both.>>738732747Not a bot, I just like using big inconvenient words
>>738732864Yeah, it's dumb.Hard to find any real discussion online anymore.
>>738730190it's the best game in the series
>>738732864He is being intentionally pedantic and hysteric. The fandom has fallen, millions must die.
>>738730190because it's the only star fox game since 64 to introduce something new without also going full retard
>>738720107Japanese devs literally never say anything bad about other works. They are too polite. How are you guys still unaware of this. Even if he dislikes the designs, he would never say anything but good things about it publicly.
>>738730190For all its flaws, Assault pushed the series past 64. New story, new villains, new characters. Deep down, a majority of star fox fans want all that. It's just Assault introduced a lot of new things that could be improved like the on foot sections and more levels or branching paths.
>>738733897And also to add, I thought the on foot sections weren't that bad when you switxh to dual-stick controls. They can come back and have more polish for the controls. Just because it didn't work the first time doesn't mean it can never work.
>>738731340>>738731702Stop with this cope. Gyrowing was used on 1.5 levels in Zero and it was a huge part of the marketing. Donkey Kong Gameboy had the new levels advertised on the back of the box. They're not going to just not tell people that this remake is a secret sequel because more levels would obviously be more enticing than just literally the same game as before.
>>738734138Doomers are hoping its just cutscenes, but the game might be more of an reboot than remake and add cut content.
