REPORT: Platinum Games Developing Star Fox Zero

NE: "We’ve known for a while that Nintendo and Platinum had a good relationship, but not this much! While at first it was assumed that Nintendo themselves were working on Star Fox Zero, the new Star Fox title for the Wii U, it now has been announced by Nintendo’s Twitter account that the title is being made by Platinum Games, of Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 fame."

Wow, good on Platinum, the game looked great.

The game visually is very Very underwhelming. Gamecube Star Fox Adventures pushed the then gamecube which was graphically brilliant looking and gameplay was very immersive. This game for the WiiU graphically is very poor. The efforts made with Zelda WiiU is clear with lush environments and attention to details. What I see here with Starfox is the complete opposite. Very disappointing.

I realise that part of the reason for the sub-par graphics is due to a different view being on the Gamepad, it still looked rough around the edges. No doubt they can add a lot of polish between now and release but my body isn't feeling ready. The dogfights look fun though, so there's still time for them to win me over.

I agree what the hell are they thinking? SM3DW, WW:HD, Bayonetta 3, Zelda Wii U all look fantastic but this looks like a N64 game..

Platinum Games? Star Fox?

SOLD!

gangsta_red3965d ago

Platinum is everywhere nowadays. These guys are going to be the next Capcom.

no_more_heroes3965d ago

So PlatinumGames is working on 3 different exclusives for each platform? Good for them, but I hope they're not being stretched too thin so as to affect the quality of their titles.

It's a good ponder. Nintendo would be stupid to not do it. The more titles and first party line up released on the Switch 2 the more enticed the customer will be.

Star Fox Zero, Was it Really That Bad?

Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?

Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.

Vits1636d ago

It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.

CptDville1635d ago

Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.

SeTTriP1635d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey1635d ago

controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..

Einhander19711635d ago

No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really

Platinum wants to bring Star Fox Zero to Switch

But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.

I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead

Teflon021685d ago

Finally, someone who knows about Assault. Best Star Fox Multi-player imo.

Neonridr1685d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag1685d ago

Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!

whitbyfox1685d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf1685d ago (Edited 1685d ago )

I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.
