You know what pisses me off? People misrepresenting games. I just checked that wonderful Halo 3 rumor thread on TeamXbox and someone once again hits my pet peeve. Nintendo themselves made Star Fox, Star Fox 2, and Star Fox 64. Rare is forced into converting a completely unrelated title and somehow they're responsible for the whole series? WHY?!

I don't see Rare names anywhere. Arggghhh!

 

[fennec fox]

Well, I'm sorry Teamxbox made you so angry. Why didn't you post about it o'er there?

 

[M3wThr33]

Because I associate any console-specific sites with a fair amount of biased and ignorant posters in their forums. Any questions or statements I posed would be immediately ignored due to my Pokemon-derived name. I assume I can get more insight here. Maybe even a correction or two.

P.S. Thanks to Moby Games for the data.

 

[Speevy]

Who on TXB said Rare created the whole series?

 

[cvxfreak]

For a few years (until 2000), I thought Rare made Star Fox 64 because it gave me the Rare vibe... but I stand corrected.

 

[Mejilan]

What? I thought everyone knew that Rare had nothing to do with Starfox until SFA... which, btw, fucking sucked.

 

[En-ou]

star fox adventures is one of the best games on cube

Protip: This ain't GameFAQs! You can type in plain old carriage returns to insert blank lines!

 

[Mermandala]

^^ but you have to collect a certain number of "." before you can read his post. it's an hommage.

 

[Tenguman]

sfa was such a collectathon piece of dren

ok....almost every game has something to collect at it's core. whether it's the 3 keys, or the 4 stars, or whatever...that's understandable

but sfa was at such an extreme. it was common to run into situations where on your quest to find 6 stones, you have to find the 10 googabloobas before you can get one of those stone, and on the way to find those googabloobas you run into people who want you to collect the 25 wooza-wazzles to save the 10 ginga-bingas.

Hell you had to collect fuel-cells if you wanted to fly from one destination to another -- FUEL CELLS! nevermind that a pilot would bring some along with him in the first place

nevermind that it's a primative dino-world with no space-ships in site that for whatever fucking reason has space-ship-fuel cells scattered all over the damn place


pretty game though.


yeah i know this thread wasn't about SFA but i'm in an angry mood having to wait for HL2 :/

 

[DDayton]

Now, now... SFA was impressive for the first three minutes or so...

Then you had to play it.

 

[Do The Mario]

Rare took a game called Dinosaur Planet (SFA) then injected it with the Starfox franchisee

Then we got Star fox adventures which is the only thing related to Starfox that Rare has done

Star Wing
Lylat Wars
Star Fox Adventures.

More like Nintendo forced them to add the Starfox stuff because they thought DP by itself wouldn't sell

And Nintendo was probably right.
