Game isn't even out yet😭😭😭

@kiwitalkz Getting a Japanese developer is a big get in my opinion. Just because how rare it is for us English speakers to hear that perspective. Can't Wait!

Recording an interview next week who has worked with these 4 companies, he is also a japanese dev.

Based on recent events... Here's my reaction to the new StarFox on switch 2: youtu.be/kplvKAdcvrc

@SavageDonut64 @ScratchyDerose Making a new story and new maps IS a lot of work. This project definitely a due date. They wanted to use the leverage of Fox being in the Mario Galaxy Movie. To sell this game

How? They had to build the game from the ground up for this remake. It would have been just as difficult to make a new story with new maps. The levels are just racetracks with extra steps. Maybe it would've added 6 months in design and story, but it's not like we knew this was coming so they could've taken their time with it. I just don't think that's a fair enough excuse.

LOOK I DON’T CARE IF THE NEW STAR FOX GAME LOOK UNCANNY REALISTIC, WE GOTTA MAKE THIS GAME SELL LIKE GANGBUSTERS. I’M NOT GOING 10 YEARS WITHOUT STAR FOX AGAIN.

Was genuinely shocked to find theres a split on these redesigns. I thought for sure theyd be universally hated like the Sonic movie first draft. Seeing other opinions made me rethink my first reaction and im a little more open minded to this idea. But regardless of sort of buckling in and being open minded with what reality has become. I do still feel a few things that i dont think will change with hindsight: 1. Deviating THIS drastically from an original games intended artstyle is not the right way to handle a remake. Save this for a full on reboot. With REMAKES you want to shine the original games potential to its maximum. Not deviate away from what it was setting out to accomplish. There is no angle in which someone can argue in good faith that the developers envisioned Star Fox 64 in particular to look like this new game. 2. Starfox 64 is a reboot of Star Fox, Starfox 64 3D is a remaster of 64. Starfox Zero is a Reboot of 64. And now this is a reboot/remake hybrid. A lot of people are naturally fatigued that we cant get an all new story. 3. People not liking this is not hyperbolic or "looking for anything to cry about". Drastically changing a look often drastically changes an audience. Presentation in the games industry is a lot more important than people often give it credit. Being bold and doing a hard pivot away with what works can very easily lead to consequences in audience retention. And I mention that in particular because the negative reactions make perfect sense with that context. People who are loving it are baffled but should you honestly? You cant argue this is DRASTICALLY different not just from recent Foxs established look but also just a complete 180 from what 64 was going for. Its ok to love it in spite of that. But delusional to think everyone who would react more predictably is somehow faking outrage.

@SavageDonut64 @ScratchyDerose That’s fair. I’m with you there. This is the 5th time. But making a remake is cheaper then making a new game. They’re minimizing risk on a franchise that didn’t do as well as other franchises.

@1Daichi11 @ScratchyDerose No. Nintendo needs to learn to stop resting on their laurels and make original games. They can use existing IP, but remaking the same game forever is bullshit.

@jifour98_ I was in disbelief the whole time watching it

The thing is I’m surprised this came out of Nintendo bro they usually have a level of polish that doesn’t look like unity unreal hyper realism kickstarter video game.

@niceupdog That's interesting. What character in Japan looks similar to this?

i'm pretty sure the star fox redesigns look like this because japanese artists are known to really really like realistic furries you're witnessing the american vs japanese furry character design divide live in action rn

@DreamyWeegee It’s just VERY shocking. Currently I don’t like them at all But it might grow on me 🤷‍♂️

I quite like the new redesigns, idk why people instantly go “realistic redesign of cartoon character = instantly bad”

@MakaiRoss2 @SagaFraga @MetroidDatabase I think that's too much for them to process

@SagaFraga @1Daichi11 @MetroidDatabase More animalistic… like a real life animal?

wait... people are legit upset he looks like... a... FOX? and not some furry/mascot? 🤔

Somebody is comparing the reactions to the Star Fox redesigns and ugly realistic art style to the reactions that Zelda Wind Waker got for having a stylized art style….

@wariocolosseum People are trying their best to defend it😂😂

these aren’t even similar lmao

@BestyBattalion @MetroidDatabase I like that. It's very stylize👍

@1Daichi11 @MetroidDatabase BOO.

@Lewchube "At least have the art direction be very good" "OH MY GOD IT'S BAD!!"

watched the (third) Star Fox 64 remake in my server and this is maybe the loudest discord call ive ever been in

@AjentVee That's great happy this works for other people!!

Yeah I'm in the minority for sure, but I LOVE their new designs

@SagaFraga @MetroidDatabase Smh

@1Daichi11 @MetroidDatabase The new ones aren’t hyper realistic use ur eyes lmao. Calm down

@kingoff00ls @SN_Server @MetroidDatabase If they were going for the direction. Then it would show in game. But they are not.

@1Daichi11 @SN_Server @MetroidDatabase Congrats, You are looking at "realistic" 30 years ago. Why don't you watch Howard the duck and realize how silly you are?

@SagaFraga @MetroidDatabase Yes. They are puppets not a all hyper realistic animals

@1Daichi11 @MetroidDatabase “Always cartoony” Ok

@kingoff00ls @SN_Server @MetroidDatabase I don't see a hyper realistic Fox wearing clothes

@1Daichi11 @SN_Server @MetroidDatabase Literally look at the SNES box art you tourist.
