Comment on StarFox is Dead by Team4Taken
1. Yes, but the story even in Dino planet was uncomplete and i found plenty of holes in it too. Too many too list (even more than adventures). So if the main story that this was remade from had holes, then you would expect this to have some too. This is due to Nintendo being impatient and Rare being Lazy/uncaring since they were being bought out by Microsoft anyhow. There was suppose to be six temples, you would have saved Krystal half-way through and she would help you. Even Peppy/Slippy would come down and help. That's why the coverart shows them helping and yet they did not.
2. At least they kept the cheesy acting and girly sounding Slippy in the remake on the 3ds. That's a good thing... Right?...
3. Quite, but it did expand Fox's character. It would be naive if we expect him to spend his whole life in a ship. He would have came out eventually.
4. No. Peppy had quit before Krystal joined. You do know it had been 8 years between Lylat Wars and Adventures, right? And Peppy was already 45 years old in SF:64. So he was no spring chicken, or rabbit, so to say.
5. It also makes no sense that he turned himself into a giant brain. I guess when he said "Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!", he wanted it to be literal. But to me, that was his last ditch effort to revive himself and destroy Lylat and remake it into his image. The power of the Krozoa was keeping a planet together, so I would assume they could rip others apart. And really, Andross is basically Mario's Bowser. No matter how many times Mario (or even could use Link/Ganondorf here) stomps him, he comes back with a even more retarded plan/scheme.
6. Of course, I never said it was the greatest game ever. It's just not as bad as people make it out to be. I actually like Conker's Bad Fur day, but that was from the golden days when Rare actually cared and the original members made the games. When they remade it on the xbox, it was horrible. And don't even get me start on that banjo-tooie shovelware...
But I'm not sure how you can say maybe it was good. Did you even finish it? I actually did not like it either when I first played it just because of Krystal. I wanted only Fox and I thought I would have to switch between them. It sat in a pile of my games for almost two years before I even finished it to find out that Fox was still the hero ^^

1. Agreed
2. Agreed, but while their voice-acting in N64 was classic, the acting in Adventures was even MORE annoying. The queen of the earthwalkers, AHH! Her acting is horrible!
3. Yes, but that could have been more effective in a stronger story.
4. Oh. Still preferred peppy as a teammate beside you, though.
5. At the same time, it isnt. Mario is an even more childish and mindless franchise (still great, though), of course they will bring back bowser. Star Fox, though it still has a childish atmosphere, had a little more consistency. If they are willing to kill off a character, they will. And since when have you seen Andross back since Adventures. It also still doesn't explain how he came back. How he was treated as a "God" and kept it a secret all those years. Also, does that mean all that magic religious stuff in that planet was a lie? If not, how does Andross have any connection with the stuff fox had to collect thats supposed to save the planet?
6. Agreed
7. I meant gameplay mechanics (how fox moves, fights, reacts with environment, etc)

2. Yes, but I found the voice actor for Fox/Falco to be a lot more realistic instead of the weak voices of 64. And you would think that they would have improved on their voices on the 3ds port a little bit at least :l But in the end, the main cast is all that matters. At least I could tell that Slippy was a male in Adventures.
3. Like? I mean really, there's not much more they could do with Fox since it revolved around him avenging his dad. You can tell that too by the lack of games. Fox did not want to work for the military (yet he did everything they said on all his games o.O) chasing whatever little bad guy that popped up :l Apparently, he and Wolf share the same lust for greed as he only wants the high profile/paying jobs.
4. I prefer both of them myself.
5. But they haven't actually killed off a character besides the main villain (And he does reappear as a spirit in Command). And it was suggested in Command that Andross indirectly created the Anglars when he was doing his experiments. As there was a part between the main bosses talking with each other about their *creator*. So even when he's not the main enemy, he was still the cause.
I'm not sure where you seen he was treated as a God. The dinosaurs treated the Krozoa as Gods and the Spellstones is what kept the magic in check throughout the planet. But! Andross did tell General Scales that they saw him when he could not because, basically, he was too stupid to see him. He used Scales own greed for power to mask himself. He pulled the strings all along and Scales danced like the good puppet he was.
And even one of the Snowhorn said he seen a spirit on the planet (Not Krozoa spirit, but that of a deceased person). I imagine Andross had actually planned ahead in case some one did kill him. I mean, if he can make himself a giant brain without a body, why not have the knowledge to retain him self in a spirit form? He more than likely studied all the planets and knows more than Corneria about the whole Lylat System (Well, it wouldn't take much since they get wiped by every ragtag enemy. They even got slammed by Oikonny, and that's just sad). And he knew that he needed a pure heart to obtain the Krozoa when they were released and it's obvious that while he was more than likely waiting on Fox to stagger in (which he eventually did), that he saw Krystal as a catalyst of equal (or better because of her abilities) power.
7. Have you played SF: Assault? Now THAT is horrible mechanics. In adventures, I could move Fox on a dime and I loved the combo moves ^^ In Assault, everyone moves like robots. Don't get me wrong, Namco makes great Arcade fighting games, but they did horribly when it came to the Starfox universe. If Nintendo would quit letting every random third party (Esp Q games. I hate Command. They had good intentions when they tried in Starfox 2, but Command was a huge failure), and give it attention like they did SF: 64, we would have awesome Starfox games that could ACTUALLY rival Lylat Wars, ya know?
But I remember some one saying that Miyamoto said he didn't like Starfox (this was shortly after Starfox 64 too, not adventures or the others), but that was soo long ago that I can't find the article. But it makes sense, right? Do you see Starfox games coming out like the constant rehashed Mario or Zelda games? (Gotta milk those moneymakers...)

Actually, in an interview, (forgot the entire story), Miyamoto says that he MISSES the Starfox series. Besides, he was the one who created it in the first place, he got inspiration from visiting a temple dedicated to a flying fox god.
I know ^^ The arches are where he got the inspiration of a fox flying through them (That's what the first arches in the snes version was, if you pay attention ^^). Maybe he changed his mind as time went by, but as I said, it was after SF:64, not recently. Maybe he was bummed by not releasing Starfox 2 at the time since he thought the N64 would be out soon (And came 2 years after X.x).
It's quite obvious no one knows but him.

We need to see a game for the Wii-U.
Eeyup. Needed one for the Wii but heh
