1- Any remixed songs from the first StarFox?
2- Is there an option to remove the aim marker like in StarFox 64?
3- Progressive scan support? Pro Logic II?

I only played the tank in multiplayer, and it controlled quite badly. I need somemore time with it, but I got out of the tank as soon as I got to the arwing.
I think you run faster than the tank, at least with falco anyways.
The dialogue is cheesy as ever.
I got this at hollywood video in the U-District in Seattle. I thought it wasn't out until Feb 1 for rental even. I got lucky they put it out today. Still unsure of a purchase though.

Uhh... I don't see how any of the responses in this thread could lead someone to conclude that "Namco fucked it up." I have this on pre-order; I need to see some in-depth analysis of this game before it ships.

I really think Namco just was trying to make a "solid" game. I think they just figured if they made an OK game N-Bots will still buy it. If they succeeded in making a decent game, maybe I'll buy it down the road. But this doesn't look like anything special. Hopefully, I'm wrong. I did enjoy SF64.

Well, I think the problem is that people are pining for a real sequel. One with all or most of the game centered around arwing battling. But then Namco had to try to inject some flavor into the game with the on foot missions. And, from everything we have read, these on foot sections lag in comparison to the stellar arwing battles. Is it too much to ask for a real Starfox sequel? Now we get to the jist of peoples problems with the game. Star Fox Adventures left a bad taste in many mouths. Not because it is a bad game. But it was a seperate game that got tacked on the Starfox license. Next we get a game that is closer to what Starfox is all about but not quite there yet. This is doubly disappointing considering one of Namco's Ace Combat teams developed this title. My hopes we were going to get a Starfox game the size and scope of an Ace Combat game and it didn't materialize.
How is this not a "real sequel?" Why are you claiming to be disappointed when you haven't played the game and the only person in this thread who has said it has a "Great Single Player"?Mrbob said:
More importantly, how could you call Star Fox Adventures anything but a bad game. That a nice looking terd of a game. There was virtually nothing to SFA that wasn't shown in the Dinosaur Planet demo at E3 1999. It was a bad game that got tacked on the Starfox license to save its sorry ass.

EGM review. On foot action diminishes the game. Besides, if you have been keeping tabs on this game over the past year all previews seemed to be pretty standoff-ish to the onfoot action. They wouldn't come out and say the on foot stuff was disappointing because it was a preview but the writing was on the wall and comes to fruition in the review.
I didn't say it was good or excellent either. I played through quite a bit of it awhile back. It was average. Starfox and Starfox 64 are two of my favorite games, so I'm going to be disappointed when these games get followed up with an adventure game and an above average game -which could have been excellent- if the game featured exclusive arwing battles.

anyway, I'll wait for Gamespot and IGN's review to see if I will pick up this one. I am a fan of the first 2 starfox games, but I am not sure about this one
don't get me wrong -- I want this game. I just find it funny that people will still trash Rare's effort -- when in the end, I think the review sites that people on GAF trust will give it lower scores than SFA got.
but they will still say starfox assualt is "better"

EGM gave it 8.0/8.0/6.0
NP gave it 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, out of 5
Those are definitely scores good enough to warrant a purchase for me. It's Star Fox, and it's a fast paced action game...What else could you ask for.

All I'm really hearing is that the tank controls aren't that good, although the ground missions aren't that bad. So Namco didn't fuck it up too far. Just another Rebel Strike.
If you can't take the bad for the good in Star Fox you miss out. That being said, it's rent before I buy for this game.
Agreed. They were gambling for this to work out as leasing out F-Zero to Sega did.

I thought it was in those impressions. There have been a couple of SFA threads in the past 2 months or so, and I vaguely recall one which had updated impressions where I specifically responded to it, acknowledging improved controls. I did a couple of searches, and could not find that thread here.
However, I did find a thread where you quoted your E3 impressions and specified what your problem was exactly, with the new controls. IIRC (obviously not a given, at this point) the updated controls had more to do with the on-foot stuff, NOT the flying stuff. I think the tilting is still out. I'll hit up a couple of more websites for impressions and see if I can find what I think I remember.
Sorry for the confusion.

Yichs. I somehow swapped IGN and GS's updated CES previews in my mind. Sorry about the confusion. Occasional typo aside, IGN makes mention of the updated controls, and they do indeed pertain to the on-foot stuff.

Bah, looks like the Arwing controls are unchanged from the E3 demo, according to "Powerfro" at GameFAQs, who rented Star Fox Assault this past weekend.
Lots of info, impressions, and some spoilers in his GameFAQs thread.
