Garbage Galaxy Star Fox Zero Deserves a Directors Cut

[Scrawnton]

I said it.

And I mean a real Director’s Cut where the actual directors of the game fix the game and not try to force Miyamoto’s bonkers / terrible control idea into being the root mechanic of the game. Somewhere in Star Fox Zero is an excellent game that can be easily salvaged if some bold decisions were made for the service of betting the overall package, not made in service of Miyamoto’s controller vision.

I don't get it, how is this a shitpost?

Just didn’t know how to tag a Star Fox Zero thread.

 

[Raccoon]

I strongly disagree with this. The game is built around Miyamoto's controller vision, and I doubt that the director's intentions were at odds with that.

 

[Mandos]

Nah just retool it into a SF1/2 remake proper with story options both in the original and latters style with both maps

 

[Oolong]

I always wanted to play Zero, so sure why not.

Though, I would prefer a remaster of Star Fox Assault.

 

[Donnie]

I thought it was a pretty cool game. I'd play it again with no changes even lol

Anyway, let's discuss Star Fox Adventures

Star Fox Adventures x BotW. Make it happen, people.

 

[Red Monster]

I bought SFZ recently. I think I’ll play it after playing SF64 on NSO.

I just want to say that I absolutely welcome more Star Fox games on Switch. That is all.

You labelled the thread a shitpost, but at this rate Star Fox Zero and Devil's Third could both get Switch ports before Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Devil's Third?

you guys got a new game, a huge DLC, a remake, and are probably getting another new game next year. sit down lol

 

[snikdasnek]

I agree Star Fox Zero is a shitpost lol. But I would much prefer a brand new game over an enhanced port of Zero, Star Fox deserves a new adventure that continues the story

 

[apathetic]

Star Fox Zero remains the game that I most loved that seems to be most hated. Only issue I ever had with the controls is how often I had to "reset" them.

Oh I'm good. I just feel bad for the folks who only care about Xenoblade Chronicles X and aren't into the numbered entries at all.

Bringing things back to Star Fox though, I'd rather see an HD port of Star Fox 64 3D than a Star Fox Zero port.

see now you're speaking my language lmao

I feel that Star Fox Zero is a novel Wii U game and that it is better left as a unique home arcade experience than recut into some sort of inferior Star Fox 64 clone. I'd much rather we get the real thing with upgraded visuals.

 

[Tendo]

Zero had its problems but when the second screen set up worked it was really freaking cool. I think if you remove that and port it it is just a mediocre star fox game. I’d rather have a new entry into the series. Or any entry really.

IMO there is a good game in Star Fox Zero. The control scheme holds it back though. I tried multiple times but I could never finish it.

For as much work as it would take to port the game to the Switch, Nintendo might be better off going in another direction with the franchise.

 

[WestEgg]

Time to say something that will make people upset.

Star Fox Zero is the only Star Fox game I have completed. And I enjoyed it!

 

[CMM1215]

I absolutely loved SFZ and I 100%ed it! I'd 100% it again, too! I want my Star Fox sequel so badly

The controls were honestly the best part. The game itself ended up being a worse version of 64 because it was developed by Platinum Games, they love putting weird changes of pace as well as obnoxious requirements to fully clear a stage in pretty much all of their games. In 64 you could choose multiple routes and all of them are fine (unless you go for high scores). In Zero you have to deal with the Gyrowing and repeated stages. Therefore it was basically the worst of both worlds, it was too long to be an arcadey rail shooter that you replay for high scores and it was too short to be an action game that feels good to master all stages. Treasure would have done a much better job for sure

 

[FrostyLemon]

I think ditching the motion controls and maybe adding in some new levels/content could redeem this game somewhat. It's never going to be great but it could be good.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I like the idea of Star Fox Zero but I think they sadly dropped the ball in many areas. The gyrowing and the walker in particular were not very fun to control and drag down the good parts of the game. The little that I actually enjoyed would be completely lost i the transition and I'm also not sure if there's much to salvage in terms of assets (which are noticeably low-quality). Also, the game committed the cardinal sin of not having a versus multiplayer mode. There was probably a time very early into the Switch's life when it'd have make sense to bring it over... now not so much. A Star Fox Zero "Director's Cut" would need so much work, at that point they might as well make a new game altogether.
