Hey, the 'remaster' of Star Fox/Lylatt Wars 64 was pretty fun. How come no one talks about it?
>>
>>12278116
Because it's still bad compared to the original
>>
I did appreciate that they deliberately made the voice acting over-the-top but, after hearing those uncompressed lines from SF64 in the leaks, I don't see why they couldn't just resample the old voices and bothered rerecording everything.
>>
>3DS
not retro
>>
>>12278116
Ruined by removing the awesome spherical explosions that engulf bosses so the screen just awkwardly fades to white and they vanish unceremoniously.
>>
There's no cockpit view.
I also don't like the control scheme.
>>
>>12278116
this is not retro you fucking fag
>>
>>12278384
>>12278174
Nintendo 64 games aren't retro?
>>
>>12278412
This is about a remaster
>>
>>12278174
>>12278414
Starfox 64 is from 1997. It doesn't matter if the OP is a greatest hits version or a remaster release that came out later as long as the base game is retro.
>>
we can talk about remakes like SF643D, Crysis or TES:IV but we are not allowed to discuss Ps2 games like Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, GTA Vice City Stories or Motorstorm Artic Edge.
>>
>>12278419
Yeah of course it does
>>
>>12278116
Being able to play individual levels is good
However cutting out the first-person mode was a HUGE, baffling mistake
>>
>>12278226
>cockpit view
as much as i agree this would be a huge improvement, it's a game for kids
>>
>>12278435
It can be a pretty cool loophole though. For instance, the PSP versions of the Legend of Heroes Gagharv trilogy are allowed to be discussed here, because they are the only way most people ever played these early 90s games in English. You just start a thread with the original games and then everybody defaults to the PSP versions.
>>
>>12278435
You can literally talk about whatever you want the rules are selectively enforced. Just like this thread which is explicitly against the rules yet doesnt get deleted.
>>
>>12278116
>no wifi
What were they thinking?
>>
>>12278465
Remakes and remasters being allowed have always been an unwritten rule. I've never seen mods delete threads about Majora's Mask 3DS or the Dragon Quest DS remakes or the Final Fantasy PSP remakes or even the more recent pixel remasters.
>>
>>12278475
And it used to be an unwritten rule that you had to make good faith threads or else theyd get deleted immediately. A thread like this would have been gone instantly in days past.
>>
>>12278419
>It doesn't matter
Yes it does.
>>
>>12278116
>”Lylat Wars”
PLEASE go fuck yourself
I cannot fucking STAND euroSHITS and their god awful hellspawn 50hz releases and localizations
Like why did you even endure it to this day? Why didn’t the entirety of Europe just fucking die out of frustration during the 90s?
I hate all of you
American website
Don’t EVER post disgusting shit like that again
>>
>>12278116
Oh well

I don't know what you're talking about, seems retro to me?
>>
>>12278174
NES: retro
Portable NES (GB): retro

SNES: retro
Portable SNES (GBA): retro

N64: retro
Portable N64 (DS): NOT retro

GC: retro
Portable GC (3DS): NOT retro

seems unfair to me to handheld chads

>>12278475
>I've never seen mods delete
The janny protects threads about games he cares about. Everything else gets ignored. We have had years of the SEGA system spam, does that mean it's not spam? Fucking retard
>>
>>12278802
>>”Lylat Wars”
>PLEASE go fuck yourself
Lylat Wars is the way better name
>>
>>12278802
Star Fox was made by a European dev
>>
>>12278169
They felt the need to alter some lines, like Falco no longer mentions Einstein in the 3DS version.
The line was changed to "Hey genius, I'm on your side!"
>>
It's not a remaster, it's a remake. Therefore not retro.
>>
>>12278802
Waaah waaaah waaah!
>>
>>12278802
You best stop speaking ENGLISH then retard

>it's a remake
eeeeeeeeeeeeh, I don't know about that
>>
Remasters are fucking garbage and I don't need irrelevant secondaries in my life.

If you can't appreciate the original then you don't enjoy retro games, you just want to wear the identity as a badge while actually avoiding the technology and development philosophies of the era. There is a word for this, it's poseur.
>>
>>12280125
no it isn't, it screams "pls consider it as relevant as star wars"
>>
Early 3DS was just forgettable in general
>>
>>12278116
They censored Einstein to Genius and didn't even get Falco's OG voice for this ine
>>
>>12278116
Almost as if there was another amazing railshooter on that that system at that period of time.
>>
>>12278452
I know but they should at least give the option.
>>
>>12280286
I can appreciate both.
As an example, I like Metroid Prime 1, but I like the Remaster as well, even if they butchered the shots lighting up the environment (the Switch would have trouble to run at 60FPS if this was enabled).
I finished MP1 four times and MP1R two times.
>>
The only real good thing about this remake was it's heavily revamped multiplayer with bots as an option.
Also was the first Star Fox in a while to break a million, which is heartwarming but bittersweet.
Why? This gaslit Nintendo thinking they can only retell the first fucking game over and over again like some Groundhog Day and give it lame new stuff nobody ask for.

Truth is that the remake's small success greenlit Shiggy's other reinvention of Star Fox on the Wii (which becomes Star Fox Zero on the WiiU) but even with his status there it couldn't come off the ground unless it can profit in some margin. It was basically some ideas guy's Star Fox title were he got access to the source code and did mostly fuck all with it.

Btw the promotional anime has nothing to do with the game's actual plot, was just there to hook people to play and find out what's the shady deal. (Muh teleporters)
>>
>>12281402
I would like to see that Star Fox Armada that was planned by Retro Studios but then canceled by Nintendo after the WiiU flop.
>>
>>12280183
>it's a remake
Nah, it's a remaster. And we're allowed to talk about remakes too anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
>>
>>12281391
whoosh
>>
Horses
>>
It's pretty good, I still prefer playing on N64 for the original graphics and voice acting and rumble but the 3DS remake is great
