      XD Yeah.... at least their reason did make sense from a marketing perspective. as it wouldn't be until Gen 6 where they try more 3D worlds but still grid locked, and Gen 7 allowing for full on 3D. Ironically BD/SP proved that fans do find the 3D more enjoyable and don't really want to return to grid form, even factoring nostalgia (but I think the reason it failed is because it was a carbon copy)

    • @MarioMastar
      @MarioMastar Před 4 měsíci +1

      It really would've, but I think he "oversold" it. Once he started talking about the online stuff, it started to sound less like a STarfox game and more like he was trying to build an entire MMO. If I were him I'd have kept the online stuff as a footnote and focused more on what he kept sidelining as "Single player" to at least show how the developers could reasonably make the game. Pokemon only got away with adding crazy online stuff because they already made it first and then proved it could work to Nintendo, but for this...the online would've had to be a small thing built up based on sales... I can hear the higher ups saying "and where will we get the budget and man power to make all this?" Given the guy was a young artist...not a developer or director who oversees the effort it takes to make games.
      Not saying it shouldn't have been made, but just saying I can see why it was probably shut down. I don't know if even today any group would make a game like that beyond some dedicated fans. It sounds too much like a "Get someone else to make it this way" idea.

This isn't the first time (nor the last) where they let someone else handle thier ideas and then lost the rights to those ideas due to bad negotiations (they're the reason we'll never hear Hideki Naganuma's music in Sega games or Sonic rush again, and they don't own the rights to MOST of the Genesis music or even several variants of the themesongs). but instead of just taking the reigns and owning their product, Sonic is now a splintered shadow of what he is and I bet the only reason they keep using Sonic and the genesis characters exclusively is because their OWN franchise is a legal landmine. and we fans keep getting punished for it.

It really is a mess though but it seems like ALL creative companies seem to only care about funding and profits and are doubling down on that. I'm still upset that the Switch is immensely popular despite stripping down everything that made Nintendo so affordable. The games are only marginally better than what could've been on the Wii U (BoTW was literally ON the Wii U), but alas... down went the e-shop and access to entire generations of games and ideas in favor of a glorified Gameboy advance so streamers could "make money" off of playing popular nintendo games.

Though we both shared frustration that Sega didn't seem to care about the Sonic lore either as Ken DID fill in the blanks for Knuckles' backstory and SEga....tried to pretend that plot of Knuckles being the last of his people was just for that one game and future games would follow a different script for him to read.

    That pitch for a StarFox game on Wii U sounds so much better and coherent than what we got with StarFox Zero. And Miyamoto really pushed for the two screen views which ultimately made the gameplay more confusing and eye straining. Having to use the Wii U gamepad to handle the ships buttons and handle parallel tasks while playing feels like a much better idea.

    • @MarioMastar
      @MarioMastar Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah, I do think when he started talking about the "online stuff" though that may have killed it. The idea of an expanded space system was great and rebuilding the lylat system, but the multiplayer sounded like a headache to build and set up, especially random attacks and including an online interactive sense that would've made the game feel like an MMO. I think if he kept the pitch simple and just focused on what reasonably could be done within a decent budget, then if popular enough he could add those extra online elements, but the important thing wtih marketing is to think of the target audience, young kids and parents. Still, I do like the idea of making your custom pilot akin to Metroid Federation where you create your own bounty hunter. The idea is there, but the pitch made it sound like a glorified fan idea than something realistic.

      @theghostcreator776 it is, because when i can't control properly the arwing or when I'm busting my eyes to play because relying on two different views to shoot and avoid enemies is not intuitive. And all of that in a boring retelling of Starfox 64. It becomes a game that is the most directionless mess i have played.

    I mean, I would count the Metroid Prime remake, as it is a whole remake of the assets in the game, including world geometry, enemies, textures, effects, items, etc. It also backports previous control schemes while adding dual stick controls for the first time.
    I know it still uses the same logic of the previous releases, but I still consider it relevant as it's not just a port like Tropical Freeze for the Switch

      It was a nice revival, but I think we were so set on the opening cinmatic setting the stage that the game itself kind of felt like it wasn't finished. I agree it was awesome to see a modernized Starfox 64, but it really was just Starfox 64 again...again.... It's sad cause it genuinely makes me wonder if Starfox's popularity really came from the fact that it was the first 3D arcade shooter of it's style and the fact that you're playing as flying furry animals was the icing. Even Rare's former developers are frustrated cause they want to do so much with it but Nintendo owns Starfox himself and they keep saying "No".

      There's an opportunity cost associated with that. If Adept was made, then Retro Studios wouldn't have returned to DK Country and made some of the best platformers out there. Ideally, a pitch from a developer should be convincing enough to make the higher ups excited at the thought of playing a full game based on it.

Especially since the other show and comic producers never gave Sega trouble, but then...Sega likes to pretend none of the side media (and the 90s in general) ever happened given how they keep butchering Classic Sonic.
