Star Fox Zero Staff Breakdown: Miyamoto Supervising Director then 50/50 Collaboration
- Thread starter Shikamaru Ninja
- Start date
Ah okay, I mostly recognize the name through Rei Kondoh's work for Platinum
Nope nope. The game is very inconsistent. Some areas look fantastic (like that swamp level) and others (like Fortuna) look very rough and unpolished.

Yeah. I think they forgot to put him in the credits. He isn't anywhere (Nintendo Mitsuhiro Takano).

Fortuna is the Swamp level, I believe you're referring to Fichina. But I have to admit, the Star Wolf Fight has awesome atmosphere

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Whether I intended to or not, I have put myself on blackout almost as if subconciously, I want to check out SFZ's starwolf theme but no, im gonna wait, like a good boy
I am a incredibly huge starfox fan so going in head first into the unknown for SF:Z is important to me
Fire Emblem Fates was the first to do so - in NA, that is.
Oh...yeah, whatever the first level is called is what I was referring to.
Man, if the game sells poorly, I won't deny that I'd feel really bad for everybody that put that at the end.
Corneria? I'm assuming that's first level.

Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard seem to have a tremendous amount of embargo violations... It's like folks can't read the agreement.
Yeah, Corneria. The geometric structures are reminiscent of the original StarFox (and I'd assume SF64) if you are wondering why they're like that.
It kinda makes sense. Even though another developer created what would become Star Fox, Miyamoto was pretty into the series from the start. The whole idea of calling the game Star Fox and having it star animals was his idea, which he got based on how the arches you fly through in Corneria made him think of the torii at a fox shrine near his house. He was pretty hands on with Star Fox 64, too. The way he's talked about Star Fox Zero it sounds like he was pretty passionate about spearheading this project. Maybe Nintendo was fine with never touching the series again without his insistence.
It's not a franchise most people associate with him, but he sounds very proud of it whenever he talks about it. It probably has to do with how it meshes very well how Miyamoto likes to tell stories with engaging gameplay.
Indeed. This is the one upload of the user, too. I understand it's a lengthy embargo but it is clear and easy to understand.

Just to be clear, i've found the video on 4chan in a thread discussing star fox, i don't even have the game or am a journalist.

Yeah, I understood it's not your video, and I have no intention to shoot the messenger
That was just a general observation regarding Star Fox pre-release coverage.TheGreatMightyPoo

Star Wolf has a new theme in this game? Cause if not, that's Wakai's work.

This is now the 5th game Bee Tribe has worked on with Nintendo on Wii U, 4 being Platinum games (appropriate since former PG folks are there):
- The Wonderful 101
- Bayonetta 1 (they were the primary dev of the Wii U version specifically)
- Bayonetta 2
- Pokken Tournament
- Star Fox Zero
I can see them being involved with Star Fox Guard also.

Strange that they don't clearly state Iwata's name

Is this going to be the last game Iwata's name credit will appear now? I'd imagine it will be surely.
There are still games coming out that started development when Iwata was alive (Zelda, Pokémon Sun/Moon).

Ah yeah, Zelda, of course, duh, don't mind me then.

lol and who was it that kept insisting that Platinum wasn't responsible for the unimpressive graphics?
No, he meant what he wrote.
Platinum had to have their engine render 2 separate screens at once and at 60 fps.
Because someone wanted to aim and move in separate ways.
Hence the game looking like terrible.

Another god like ost I guess.
Never noticed the similarities before, that's cool, but it's also like that from Star Fox 64 during the credits. Makes more sense that Star Fox 64 and OOT have that ending.
