Little bit of a better run this time, actually got the whole top path but barely missed some medals and Peppy went down in Area 6 somehow, don't know when that happened.

Ooh the true ending of Star Fox has a little bit alluding to a potential sequel? :meru_ayyyy:

i saw some people immediately jumping to the conclusion that since the lead of the studio is indian the game would be shit but i think this is one of those times it is not the case. remember to keep a slice of your humanity guys.

In a very stupid turn of events, Fantia has now announced they're going to completely reverse their initial regulation of all 2D art on the platform, which would have required heavy/total obscuring beyond the usual black bars/mosaics on nudity.

https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/2606253n

The reason for their reversal is that they finally received "clarification" from the National Police Agency that their intended area of concerns was 3D/real pornography (so called "doujin AV") and not 2D illustrations.

Why they didn't seek this clarification before panicking their entire userbase, compelling people to either painstakingly go back over years of work to apply ugly black bars or else delete their entire body of work on the site, remains a mystery. I can't imagine there's a whole lot of artists rushing back to Fantia to use it.

I don't know whether to pin more blame to the NPA or Fantia here. I could easily imagine the police threatening to come down on them like a ton of bricks while being vague (as they usually are), frightening the execs into over-regulating. But at the same time, the fact that Fantia just folded like wet cardboard and didn't even push back a little bit at their entire business model (and their loyal userbase of many years) being held over a barrel out of nowhere speaks to their cowardice and shitty management.

As the saying goes, "the purpose of a system is what it does". And what's happened here is that the police can technically say they have clean hands, they just weren't clear enough at the start. But Fantia's probably going to take a financial hit over this, and in this economy there's a possibility they might go under because of it. Part of me wonders if this wasn't the intention all along.

Bruh. Not a good look for the US. I get the idea behind the lineup but losing like that is still so shitty.

Man my first Star Fox run was ass lol, that's what I get for playing with detached joycons in tabletop mode lol. The graphics are REALLY nice but it does make it a bit harder to parse out stuff you need to shoot on a smaller screen. The gameplay is exactly how I remember it more or less, although for some reason they made the Blue Marine move to the side when doing barrel rolls instead of staying stationary which really changes the way you need to play the stage. The voice acting for the characters on your side of the Lylat Wars is all really good, but the enemies... None of them sound like they're actually evil. Idk, their line delivery isn't as brutal as it should be. I haven't seen Bill yet, but everyone on Star Fox, Pepper, and Katt are all great. Katt honestly maybe has the best lines out of anyone.

Can't wait to get back home and play it on a real TV with the cube controller! Can't play any more at work because the battery in my console only lasted for one run before dying.

Amazon was late in delivering my copy of Star Fox so I went over and grabbed one from Walmart instead lol. I wanted to play it at work today xD maybe I'll use the second copy as a birthday present or something.

it's really interesting seeing new star fox players vs old star fox players reviewing the new remake.

people who have played the 64 original tend to think it is still a great game but that it doesn't do enough extra to justify the price point or even its sheer existence, although they have hope for the future of the series now.

however, people who are just playing star fox for the first time seem to be fucking loving it. they love how different it feels from every other modern game, whereas the old guys wish it had some more modern sensibilities in it.

super interesting dichotomy going on there.
