Got some new followers from recent Star Fox news (the best reason to gain followers) so let me introduce myself. I'm a games journalist and part time video game historian with a specific fascination with Star Fox. I make video and documentaries. youtu.be/Ml4xe3SZ8tY?si…

@TheFr0stByte Oh yeah none of this is intended to mean I wouldn't rather the series move on. The original context of the video being shared is to break down the starting points for new players :)

@jtsknight92 I get that words matter, and mean specific things, but frankly I can use the appropriate words and still say I'm tired of remasters/reimaginings, and so can everyone else who wants to move on from the Lylat Wars. Different words, same sentiment.

I should also say that I'm sure at some point I've called Star Fox Zero a remake. I think when this fanbase consisted of like 10 people who all understood what the others meant that was fine. But there are a lot of new folks and we should strive to make the series accessible.

@WishJL_Mia @AdriWindGB Words mean things and we should strive to use them accurately. Using remaster, remake, and reimagining interchangeably is confusing to new fans who I've found legitimately think Star Fox, Star Fox 64, and Star Fox Zero are the same game when all they share is a premise. :)

The false internet narrative that "Star Fox is just remakes" needs to go away !!!

@jsmithwilliams If they were I expect it would already be out. To me, them being behind their normal pace means fresh territory. But hard to say.

Seeing people starting to theorize more on who the Star Fox 2026 developer is. I've been in camp Next Level Games for months. Their last game was in 2022. They generally put out a game every three years. Their only work since was a small team assisting on Prime 4. They're overdue

@Craftyavg586 If it weren't for Prime 4 I think Retro would be an extremely viable guess, but at best I think they're a support studio. They were a shell when they took on Prime 4 and had to staff way up. I doubt they have the bandwidth to be lead on both at the same time.

@jtsknight92 Cope but what if this was Retro’s other project they developed alongside Prime 4 (I have hungered for a Retro made Starfox game for decades)

@Mayor_Fuglycool If I had a nickel for every strategy based Star Fox game where the Great Fox had double barrel launch bays, I'd have two nickels.

As has been highlighted by various publications including GameXplain and Nintendo Wire, the G-Diffuser references the UPC for the Nintendo Power players guide for Star Fox 64. Nintendo Power is a North American publication implying a North American developer. Guess where NLG is.

Next Level Games is known for technical excellence and extremely high quality character animation and cutscene direction. Both things that are being specifically highlighted by marketing for Star Fox 2026.

@BoundaryBreak @jackbrady1010 It is unfortunately very true. That being said I wouldn't entirely blame late 2000's perspectives as Assault and Command both struggled to sell at launch, but the perception did not improve going into the back half of the 2000's as YouTube came into the picture.

@jackbrady1010 I doubt anyone dilluded it down to "on foot doesn't work". I'm sure that was a construct you made up. Because there is still enormous potential for on foot segments in traditional Star Fox gameplay. But that potential hasn't been fully realized yet

Hey everyone, I made an iOS app. I couldn't find a good wallet friendly and fully customizable solution, so I knocked up SuperCapper - it automatically transcribes videos into cool animated captions for you and with no monthly fee. apps.apple.com/jp/app/superca…

@dylancuthbert This looks great, and as a video editor, can confirm this is a remarkably difficult to find tool. Now I just need an Android port or to go steal my wife's iPad :P

Had a 3D time lapse/bts in my portfolio that I realized I'd never posted publicly. Here is the construction of assets and building a scene for my Eclipse documentary with VGHF and NWR. This was for the thumbnail then I wound up making something different youtu.be/t7Q_8XMwoZ0
