Star Fox Zero = Command?

[That Ain't Falco]

We've had a game drought nearly a decade long. At this point, Nintendo could release a bad ROM hack of SF64, and I would be at least happy that they're going somewhere with things.

I, personally, don't see the similarities with how Zero and Command are being handled so clearly, especially in the advertising department. One thing that gives me confidence, however, is that Nintendo puts enough faith in this game to have had it open E3 3015, and with a bunch of puppets, none the less.

When Nintendo tries (and nearly succeeds) in meming something, you know they have confidence in it.

As for going back to its roots, I don't speak for everyone but I think people meant an actual continuation and sequel in the style of SF64, Not a complete retread/reboot/reimagining of SF64 with some new features. Correct me if I'm wrong about that claim.
 

They really had no choice, though. They screwed the SF64 canon track so bad with SFC that honestly a reboot was really the only way forward.

It's because Nintendo is mean to the Star Fox series, and they don't give it the recognition, attention, or trailers, it deserves, obviously.

Spoiler

Oh yeah and Zero isn't a reboot.

I do agree that assault had a similar feature but coin collecting in general originated from star fox 2 & were called pepper coins (In Command after getting 100 kills coins would appear giving the player extra time when collected) Also, in Star Fox 2 there was a transformation called "hover mode" but was scraped in early development. I will admit tho that i was stretching it a bit when i said its being developed by another company  However it would be nice for a change to see Nintendo work on it themselves. Innovative controls isn't a bad thing but command started it & now its moving into Zero instead of having regular controls while using the game pad for something else.

Bullies much? I'd argue a part of the reason why the active starfox fandom has shrunk is because of how rude some of ya are. It's why most of the starfox fans I know quit being active, it's toxic, can't even make a simple topic without being bullied -_-

Haha yeah there's a lot of rude people in here but its pretty funny to be honest. Guess people never examined a product before it was released. Zero is in good hands but its just interesting how the team is using Command & SF2 as reference. For those of you wondering, yes i can make this claim considering that Nintendo has shown us trailers depicting such references. If they didn't then i would have no evidence to claim such a thing.

To be fair I don't think Joseph ever claimed that SFZ looks bad or is going to be bad. All he was saying is that it seems like the marketing, development, and publicity aspect of the game is mirroring Star Fox Command. E.I. Almost no advertisement, publicity, or hype at all.

Thanks for understanding 

I will admit i did complain a lot about the marketing but buy no means am i saying Zero will turn out like Command.

Things get toxic when people use the "x is like Command" or "Why does this new game suck, here's something about command."

I'll admit I took a biased approach to this thread and misunderstood Joseph but it's the trigger word.

Command.

You can hear it.

The very mention of the name brings back chills. It's the name that crippled us. We've learned that this was the worst and it can't get as worse as that.

When we here "X = command" we know that isn't possible. Nothing can be THAT bad.

I must be the only person in the universe who thought Command was the best thing since SF64.

The commercial makes the game look so much funner than the one we actually got.
