Capcom: "Cool, cool. How are the wife and kids?"

Namco: "They're doing great, I get to see them a lot nowadays since we're totally sitting on our hands over here during the Star Fox development."

Capcom: "Hell yeah I hear ya, that must be sweet. Last time I did that was back in 02 when we were doing Devil May Cry 2."

Namco: "Yeah, it's really a sweet gig. So what's up? Why the phone call out of the blue?"

Capcom: "Oh yeah, I just wanted to give you a little message from our director. Turns out he was lying afterall and we won't have this game ready until early January. Can you believe that ****?"

Namco: "Oh snap, that's really gotta suck."

Capcom: "Yeah yeah.. it does. Well, I mean not so much for us, moreso for you guys."

Namco: "Us? Why?"

Capcom: "Well you know, now there's this big gap in the GameCube's holiday lineup. So we were kind of hoping you guys over there at the Star Fox development team could pick up the slack for us. That okay with you?"

Namco: "What what what?! We've been screwing around with this game for the past two years dude. We've literally got like nothing done. We were relying on you guys to be the big third party publisher for the Cube this year. DUDE. You can't do this to us."

Capcom: "Hey, I'm sorry man, these things happen. But don't fret yo, you've got like what? Two or three months till you have to get the game out there? You'll be fine, just work overtime and I'm sure everything will be okay.

Namco: "DUDE. I don't think you ****ing understand what's going on over here. We've just been spending all of Nintendo's money on strippers and keg parties. All we have is like two space levels, a backwards ass multiplayer and voice acting from the janitors. It's totally ****ed up over here."

Capcom: "I hear ya, well, good luck with that. I'll be sure to drop a good word in for you when I talk to Shiggy, see ya at TGS!"

Namco: "DUDE!!!"

Yeah, as in "system-killer".

Did you ever even play Star Fox 64? Did you play multi-player with the on-foot guys? Aiming is not "busted", it's done just like SF64, which I think is a good thing.

I also wish people would come up with better descriptions than "bland" and "uninspired". They are the most overused words on videogame forums ever. You've seen glimpses of the game. Wathing glimpses of Star Fox 64 would be just about as lame. Is it supposed to have more to it than a game from last generation? Yes - and it does. Would I complain if it had the best looking graphics this gen? Heck no, but I don't care about the graphics. If it's as fun as Star Fox 64 was, I'm set. And from all the videos I've seen, I see nothing that shouts "this game isn't fun". When I see a video that looks unfun - I'll be worried. Until then I'll just hope for the best.

There are almost 4 months until the game releases. Having a Star Fox = Crap poll now seems stupid.

I would have to applaud your post as the stupidest counter-argument ever. But it's OK, I forgive you. You're in DENIAL.

Would you say that the words "bland" and "uninspired" are in fact, bland and uninspired?

This game looks like $hit!!!. I am now just waiting for Nintendo's word on Starfox Adventures 2. When is it coming out so we can have another good Starfox game.

Uh.. SFA was complete suck. On the sucking scale, it ranked a nice "I SUCK FOR A LIVING".

Dude, we do not want another SFA. Ever.

NO! I loved SFA. It's one of my fav Cube games. I know it wasn't like the tradition Star Fox games, but aside from that, I thought it was a solid game.

Vaya con dios...

SF2 will own the GC lineup this year.

I liked the fighting up to a point. I had the same combo through out the game. Enough was enough of that stupid staff combo. SF2 will be a great game come this fall for the Cube.

You'd better believe it. It's a boring adventure game. You'd make out better picking up Sphinx or something for $5.

I enjoyed SFA.

So I don't know what your problem is....

I dignified your crap whining session by reading all the way through and giving you a real response. You asked us for feedback and I gave it to you. I expect some appreciation and an apology. Otherwise, take your pessimistic, know-it-all attitude somewhere else.


ALSO - On top of having 4 months remaining to polish it, even the E3 2004 video is of a build a good 4 months ago. That's 8 months to work on the game. I'm not in denial. I'm being optimistic.

Four months from now is December. I thought this game was due out in October? And speaking of it's imminent release, shouldn't we be seeing some new screens, interviews, previews, videos or boxart by now? Metroid Prime 2: Echoes already has a final name and a demo disc coming out. And Paper Mario 2 has a final name as well is already out in Japan. Where the ****ing hell is Star Fox?

Nintendo lists it as November 29th on their site. That's the date they've given since E3 I think. We probably should have some more info by now. MP2 I imagine is more polished than SF2 is, simply because it's an upgraded existing engine.

But really - I woudln't be surprised if they delayed SF2 - but then they don't have much for the cube this Holiday season.

They didn't have much last year either.

Well thanks captain obvious.

PM2 and MP2 are probably a bigger combo than MKDD was last year, but it certainly does seem like Nintendo has missed Christmas with their big titles. Last year Metal Gear missed. This year RE4 looks to miss. Maybe the cube isn't as easy to develop for as they've led us to believe.

Personally, I don't care as long as the games come every now and then ( although I haven't bought a new game since FFCC ). I'll still want to play the games coming out in 2005. But it's not going to help Nintendo move any cubes at this rate.

If you think the game sucks because of a trailer you saw on G4, then you don't deserve to have the game. Impressions of the game this year were mostly positive, and craploads of gameplay footage I saw looked outstanding.

If you were directing that towards me, I was talking about SFA, not SF2.

I'm interested in SF2, but I don't get that...tingly feeling inside when I see it like I did when SF64 was announced. The on-foot missions have me scared to death. It reminds me of Rebel Strike.

I played it and beat it and I must say its a horrible game. Only the andross fight at the end was DECENT everything else was repetitve as hell.

also, its not like star fox 2 is some brand new game they are coming out with its just a game that hasnt made its way here for years. Its not relying on graphics or anything and the gameplay is identical to star fox 64. if you didnt like it then go find another game to play and stop bitching.

Come on, Pojix, you're being too harsh. I would give the game a high 7 or a low 8. It looked gorgeous, it played decently, and taking away the fact that it was pretty shallow and bland, it would've been a great game.

It isn't, but it's not THAT bad.

SFA was at least an above average game. It's not one of the best adventure games on the system, but its definetley not horrible either. It got repetative, but it didn't drag on or get to the point where I didn't want to keep playing it. The collecting wasn't as bad as some make it out to be.

At this point, I'm not looking forward to Namco's Star Fox, but I doubt it will be released this year anyway. I'll wait until I see impressions of a more complete build of it.

....um...ditto. You read my mind.

Ok, so maybe it's merely average. Mediocre is a better way to put it. The graphics are gorgeous, but everything else is standard. Oh, and the flight scenes are *edited*.

I've seen at least 30 minutes of footage and I've read countless previews and hands-on impressions.

The game isn't looking good.
