It IS a dated genre, and we're going to see a LOT of pushback from first-time players over the fact that its a 2hr game being sold for $50 in the big '26.

Instead of doing cutscenes and voice acting they should have just doubled the amount of levels. The game would still be pitifully short but it would give us something to work with. Literally no reason to buy this
>>
>>741779709
Because it doesn't hold up to modern expectations.

You CAN release a 2hr game in this day and age, but people are going to expect more than a couple different routes and medals for each stage. Even a run-of-the-mill action roguelite has more to it than this game in terms of replayability, to say nothing of heavy hitters like Hades. And those games are cheaper.

They could have made a roguelite SF. They could have modeled it after Ace Combat. There's a lot they could have done. But a straight rail shooter is a tough sell at that price in this age.

>>741779998
Its a rail shooter, and rail shooters are characteristically short. One big reason for all these new cutscenes is to pad out the runtime.

A similar recent example would be something like The Adventures of Elliot. Sure, an HD2D Zelda-like sounds like a good time. But for $60? And for a 7/10 Zelda-like at that? Nah man.
>>
>>741780580
Are we gonna pretend being easy is a violation of "modern expectations?"

>>741780705
That's fine but not related to genre. Does the game suddenly change if you get it for free?
>>
>>741780832
>That's fine but not related to genre.
Yes it is, because expectations across all genres have evolved from what they were 30 years ago. Games across the board have more going on than they did in the 90s, people rightly expect more from a $50 product than a dozen or so stages each lasting 3-5 minutes. E33 was $50, ffs.

>Does the game suddenly change if you get it for free?
Pricing your product accordingly is very important, yes. See Wild Blue Skies and ExZodiac for relative examples.

I worry OoT Remake will get praise across the board and the lesson learned is that Star Fox should die again and/or rail shooters aren't worthwhile.
>>
>>741780257
Faithful remakes are pointless, Star Fox 64 already exists and is perfect on PC with Starship. They could have tried to make it a new experience but instead it's literally just a 30 year old game that can be played on anything with a new coat of paint.

I don't fucking care about your question you stupid nigger, I ain't paying $50 for a fucking 2hr rail shooter I've been playing since 1997. The genre is outdated because I expect more from games in general, so if you're going to sell me a game from 30 years ago don't expect me to shell out as much as I did for last year's GotY.

Star Fox 64 would be a GOTY in any year it came out, the only thing against this new one is that it's a remake. If the original never existed and this was a new game, it'd be worth the price and then some. Calling it a 2hr game shows a misunderstanding of what Star Fox 64 is.

I want the game to have a higher difficulty mode than Expert to filter out even more rail shooter-averse pansies.
>>
>>741782662
There's no reason for it to be faithful to the original when the 3DS version exists.

They could, and should, have gone nuts with it like Nomura did with 7R. Same with the OoT remake. If you want the original experience, play the original (its even on PC now). If you want the original with nicer grafics, play the 3DS version or mod the PC port.
>>
>>741780405
The expectation is it not just being a little arcade pew pew game with barely any mechanics that you finish in the refundable steam window. The expectation is those games are called indie games and cost 5-10 dollars. Like this one, it's actually way better than Star Fox

You can keep that one to yourself.
>>
>>741782979
And to return to the subject of the debate, in what way does the gameplay of Star Fox or those indie games change when I get them for free?
>>
>>741779709
It's made dated by the small amount of content. You can not make a pure rail shooter game with like just 3 routes to go through and charge people 60 going on 70 bucks for it, especially if it's literally the same game back from the n64 remade for like the third time. This is why people keep saying to stop going back to Starfox 64 everytime people wish for a new star fox game. There's nothing wrong with rail shooters, but you but can't make a game that literally just that and expect people to be paying the same price they would for like any other game that easily gives them more play time for game that has the same price price tag of around 70 bucks.
>>
>>741783270
So if it's free then it's not dated?
>>
>>741783352
If something is free, its free.

The second you put a price on something, you're setting expectations for your product. Fail to meet them and you shan't be getting the customer's money. Its that simple.
>>
>>741783451
Okay, so then if I get it for free, it's not dated.

Read the OP again.
>rail shooter archaic
They don't make that claim, see below.
>Up against modern competition ... that successfully reinvent old formulas
Not that Sin and Punishment Star Successor is modern, but that did exactly what the OP describes and is infinitely better than Star Fox 64.
>several replays too short
It was too short in 1997 and it's too short in 2026 Even with multiple playthroughs, it's still shorter than an average COD campaign..

>>741783352
If it were like 40 bucks it would be fine, but you are being a nigger on purpose and missing the point intentionally. If you want Starfox to be brought back into relevancy then you should be demanding Nintendo put more effort into developing Starfox beyond just giving us remakes of the same damn game. This is not me saying get rid of rail shooting segments, this me saying give us that an more if your gonna boast about making a new starfox game.

>>741777243
shiggy said the same thing when people asked him about a sequel to f-zero gx, basically stating "we can't make a better game" and that it was tough to evolve the franchise.

Exactly. Price isn't genre.

>>741777179
The irony is that the starfox remake is EXACTLY what FFVII fans wanted for it instead of the clutterfuck of retcons they got.
>>
>>741777448
Without the Nintendo bonus it's a 71, so pretty bad for a Nintendo game. It's basically a 6/10 to a 7/10.
>>
>>741783739
Because its at least something different. People act like playing bad games is going to fucking kill them. DMC2 fucking sucks and I still had fun with it and can appreciate its good points, like how it laid the framework for style-switching in 3.
>>
>>741783575
Not that anon, but backing yourself into a retarded corner to double down on it means you still lost the argument. However, on the other hand, I respect your willingness to not lie and squirm away with equivocation.
>>
>>741783270
>This is why people keep saying to stop going back to Starfox 64 everytime people wish for a new star fox game
do you mean as a remaster/remake specifically or the gameplay?
because if they made a brand new game with all new levels, but plays exactly like 64, I would play the shit out of it
>>
>>741784037
>People act like playing bad games is going to fucking kill them
Who here did that?
>>
So the core problem is that is too short for a 50 dollars game, I guess that even if the OoT remake is a 1:1 remake with just update graphics (which is exactly what FFVII fans wanted for it) critics will love it because is much longer, so it "justifies" its price.
>>
>>741784058
Its not a retarded corner, though.

Something being free means you're free from expectations, which means you can make whatever the fuck you want. Something being 'dated' only matters if you're asking money for it.

Gameplay, because even when people glaze Starfox 64, they still won't accept all of it, and you find out real quick they only liked the rail shooter parts, not all range, not the landmaster, not the blue marine. I want to say they just need to make a new game with 64's playstyle like you said, but that's literally not what those "fans" want. If you left it up to them they'd want the game to be literally just the on rails parts, and that would set us back even further back to snes Starfox

Do we all accept that it will sell maybe 1.5 million at best no matter how much they advertise? Will it prove Star Fox just doesn't appeal to the public for some reason?

I also still think about how Metroid Dread surprised us with 3 million. Is traditional Metroid intrinsically more appealing to the average Switch owner? I'm just throwing this out, but is it because of the side-scrolling format?

Ace Combat is nothing like Star Fox. The movement in Star Fox is super unrealistic, which IMO is more fun, compared to AC which tries to toe the line between real flight mechanics and fantasy. You can't do shit like the barrel roll deflection in AC for example.

It's not like it doesnt matter at all. All this complaining about the voices and the lines being different certainly point at the fact that it does matter a great deal in star fox. If they ever did S&P again, it could actually benefit from a more polished script or translation because in the IG it might aswell not be there.

What? Command is a shitty game but IS NOT another remake, is actually a new game.

>the 3DS version exists!
Who still knows where they're 3DS is still? Does the battery on it still work? Have you been keeping up with re-charging it?
>>
>archaic AI

It's a fucking rail shooter where you need to memorize enemy spawns and patterns to achieve the highest score. There is no real enemy AI, they have to do the exact same thing every run or it defeats the purpose. What an ignorant fucking moron.

my kid pulls it out on occasion to play warioware DIY and rune factory 4. the battery is pretty fucked but it still works.

Do these retards not realize that the short run time is why 64 is so great and the other star foxes suck. Its a movie game done right.
>>
>>741790814
Mine works just fine.

Plus, emulation also exists.

It's fifty dollars, dumb fuck, and you can't medal every stage and do all the challenges in two hours. And you didn't answer the question, so shut the fuck up.

>Its a rail shooter, and rail shooters are characteristically short. One big reason for all these new cutscenes is to pad out the runtime.

That's a design decision. Not that the genre is flawed or dated. You have a 10 hour rail shooter if they decided they wanted it that long.

you know what
i'm just going to play ace combat some more instead. fuck this

remember that they got their offices next to the dgsi

remember that they used to regularly sent people's name and IP to them for doing an heckin antisemitism on the jvc forums

remember that the owner of the website and his son are protected pedophiles

remember that it's the most censored place in Europe if you ratio in the bans/deleted posts, it's even worse than plebbit

there isn't enough interesting gameplay in the rail shooter genre to support 10 hour playthroughs

You can do it in 10, at most.

I'm not gonna, though, causw I don't care about hi-score autism. So medals aren't content to me.

>by being overly faithful
lol

>>741782830

>>
>>741792548
Portable, nicer grafics.

>>741777179
