on rails shooter, aside from like 3 fights that were in a contained area
They never managed to make a sequel that lived up to it
Also your teammates are a shit and you need to babysit them if you want medals.
No gameplay related reward for doing the "proper" route, such as powerups
Wolf exists in this game for no reason.

Here's one.
It had 1 submarine level. It should've had0.
No individual level mode

it's like a 45 minute game, fuck that
>>323453474
Enemies were basically the same throughout the entire game.
>>323455728
smash is a 20 minute game then
>>323455480
What?! Putting the rumble pack on your peepee and pressing the boost button was nearly better than the game. I'm surprised I even beat the game.
>>323455871
except smash actually has replay value outside of replaying the same shitty levels over and over like a raging autist
you cant see SHIT in aquas
>>323454862
And doesn't have VR or crafting mrite?
>>323455960
There was no smash back then...
>>323453746
what you got against railshooters? Raiden Fighters: Awesome. 1942: Awesome. Carnevil: awesome. Time Crysis: awesome. Starfox: awesome.
It was too easy and the Landmaster stages sucked.
I never felt very excited during it, but that's a personal problem.
I grew on up the original Star Fox though, and was always disappointed by 64.
>>323453474
Spawned an autistic fanbase that Nintendo constantly tries but fails to pander to by making Fox a broken shitter in Smash games and redoing the Lylat Wars over and over.

Not him, but on-rails shooters were uninteresting to me even at that time. Once you have a taste of full, unobstructed flight, you can't really go back.
Why would I play something on-rails in 1997 when I had already been playing Descent, X-Wing, and TIE Fighter - all of which allowed for full 6DoF movement in 1995 and earlier?
>>323457827
>I've never touched a shoot 'em up like Touhou
nice opinions, but I'll have to pass on them
>>323456650
On rails is a flaw, you asked me to find a flaw.
>>323453474
Shit I'm gonna pop this inmy 3DSand play through it. What ever happened to rail shooters, I know they ain't the most popular series but you'd think someone would put out one or two a year.
>>323457959
But I like bullet-hell shmups.
The problem with Star Fox is that it presents itself in a way that is close to a flight sim, and makes you really want full, unobstructed flight - but it takes it away from you. That restriction makes the game feel lacking.
Bullet-hell shmups don't try to do this at all. They don't try to give the player the illusion of immersive flight; but rather, they are going for something completely different.

>>323457827
But it's not even a rail shooter, what the fuck. You can literally move around during the levels.
A rail shooter would mean you cannot move at all.
>>323458901
So you don't know what on-rails means and think Starfox is meant to be a flight simulator (lol)? Ok.
Aquas, Venom 2 and Solar exist
>>323459013
Are you retarded? Your forced to go in a predetermined path toward, sometimes you have a option to change which way you move forward much like train in rails. Hence its a rails shooter
>>323453709
>Star Fox 128

>>323459453
>move forward
...and up
...and down
...and left
...and right
Whenever you fucking want.
Case in point: Not a rail shooter.
>>323459262
Shut your whore mouth, Solar was cash as fuck.Aquas was a crime against humanity though, and Venom 2 was just a let down. That Wolf fight should have come after a deluxe version of Venom 1. /spoiler]
>>323459453
On-rails shooter = vehicle/character follows an exact path. All you control in an on-rails shooter is the crosshair. Examples are House of the Dead, Knife Edge.
Starfox gives you 4 degrees of freedom and speed/slow options. It's not on-rails at all.
>>323459639
Holy fuck kill yourself.
It's obvious what he means, you raging autist.
>>323459639
move left, hit invisible wall
move up, hit invisible wall
move down, hit invisible wall
move right, hit invisible wall
Only way you don't hit an invisible wall is forward, looks like it's on rails to me.
>>323459952

>>323459952
>move left, hit invisible wall
>move up, hit invisible wall
>move down, hit invisible wall
>move right, hit invisible wall
Uhhh yeah if you move fucking 10 ft to the left/right/up/down.
But you can still move a bit, which makes it NOT a rails shooter.
>>323459639
Oh look your still moving forward while you do all those things. Fuck off idiot your shitposting is doing nothing but giving the thread bumps at this point

>>323459187
I'm not saying it's meant to be a space sim, nor that it is even trying to give the illusion that it is - I'm saying that a player who had already been exposed to space sims would sit down, try Star Fox, and find the freedom to be lacking.
In other words, it's not trying to be a space sim, but it makes a player who has experienced full 6D0F want it to be a space sim.
>>323459769
>constant damage unless you fly super high
>only one time of enemy you have to shoot multiple times to down them to shoot at besides stupid fire rocks
>team is totally useless and just takes unnecessary damage making things harder at Area 6/Boise if you don't get a really good score on MacBeth.
The boss and idea of Solar was great but the execution was shit. Totally agree on Venom 2, Venom 1 is so good I often go that way instead of Area 6 since Venom 2 is shit you can gimp and be over with in 10 seconds
Getting a medal on Sector Z is frustratingly hard, as your teammates destroy some of the missiles for you (if you're not quick enough), robbing you of precious points needed to attain said medal.
>>323455105
How do u like the blue marine fox?!
>can't save mid-game
>can't do one level at a time
that's about it. Fortunately, the 3DS version fixed both of those.
Now, if we could just get a proper sequel, that doesn't fuck with the formula at all but expands on the amount of content like pic related.I have no faith Zero will do this, I think Zero will be linear 9 planets done.
>>323460175
Expect you can backtrack in Mario now and your not being FORCED to move forward aside a few side scrolling levels.
In Star Fox you are FORCED to move forward at all times, your mobility is limited to four directions but at all times you are moving forward on a pre set path. Fuck off you shitposting retard
>>323461189
FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FROG, GET DOWN IN HERE AND DO IT YOURSELF
>>323461716
They don't know what a rail shooter is, all they need to do is go look up the term
>>323460581
Please tell me your official, cited definition of "on-rails," then.
You know that most on-rails shooters do allow the player to move a bit within some range? On-rails means that he is corralled in some general direction, but may be allowed to move/look about within some range.
Even many arcade lightgun games allowed this.
>>323461716
>not forced to move
Yes you are, if the timer hits 0 you lose a life.
>>323461716
Doesn't matter. Rail shooter means the ONLY movement is LITERALLY moving forwards and backwards. As long as you can move even SLIGHTLY more than that, it's not a rail shooter.
>>323461953
>Rail shooter means the ONLY movement is LITERALLY moving forwards and backwards.
Hardly any video games do this - and even most of the arcade lightgun games (all of which were called "on-rails") were less restrictive than this.
>>323461953
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/29295/what-does-the-term-rail-shooter-mean
>>323462204
Then they're not rail shooters. Wtf's so hard to understand about this??
>>323462469
Give me some examples of on-rail shooters by your definition, then.
>>323462204
Mate have you ever seen something actually on rails, like a train?
>people think on rails literally mean having to be on rails
>>323462613
Right, a video game where you control a turret from a train would be on-rails.
But, imagine you are a gunman on a flat bed of a train, free to move around (but, of course, restricted to the bed). That, by every single definition of "on-rails" I have seen when applied to video games, would also be considered "on-rails."
>>323463109
That's not on rails that's a shoot 'em up.
>>323461916
Your really are a retard aren't you?
You have the choice to let the timer go out to zero if you want, hell you can walk the whole way to the goal if you wanted really slow its up to you. You can't in 64 you move at a set speed that you have little control over.
>inb4 I was only pretending!
You must be a Krystalfag to be this mentally deficient, off yourself.
>>323461953
There is not one game that fits that exact definition even those light gun arcade games fuck off retard
>>323463473
>but you have the choice to fail
>this backpeddaling
And you have the 'choice' to switch off the console.
>>323463362
Yes, specifically the "Rail shooter" variety of "shoot-em-ups."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_'em_up#Types
>inb4 wikipedia
Find me a better source that supports your retarded, extremely restrictive definition of "on-rails," and maybe you have a (still retarded, but at least supported) point.
>>323463616
Alright I'm done your the biggest retard I have ever seen on /v/ I seriously hope for your sake this is bait otherwise I really hope you never reproduce. If you goal was to make me mad then grats you won. Thread ruined by the biggest Reddit using retard ever to disgrace thus website, I'm fucking out of here.

>>323465393
If the specific beat-em-up game forces the player forward in some fashion (e.g. a scrolling screen that the player has minimal control over), then I don't see why we couldn't say that that specific beat-em-up was "on-rails."
Most beat-em-ups don't do this, though. They either let the player clear the rooms at their leisure, or allow him to control the scrolling of the screen himself as he moves through the level. Also, the term "on-rails" is usually applied to shooters or dodge-em-ups.
>>323467660
>Shit music
No

>And you have the 'choice' to switch off the console.
How on earth does that support your idiotic, rigid definition of "on-rails?"
All games have choices. Some moreso than others. On-rails shooters are an interesting example of this, because they are very much about giving the illusion that the player has more freedom in the game than he actually does (in the early days, this was done to save assets, especially in arcades, in order to allow for more detailed graphics - they were literally movie games of their time).
>>323453474
No ground missions
>>323469095

anon, why you have such shit t-

all is forgiven
>>323453591
Am I the only one who thinks Assault was better?
>>323471852
I'm here with you man.
I'd actually want Zero to have ground missions and multiplayer, like Assault.
Also, Krystal
>>323455105
>Slippy isn't a total screw-up after all
It was easy for Peppy to say, he wasn't piloting the Blue Marine. Aquas was my least favourite level by a mile, sucks that it was required for Zoness
Zero is bothering too much from 64
the ending cutscene could have been fleshed out a bit. it would have been cool if it showed some civilians on corneria celebrating or something.

>>323453474
It's fucking slow as shit. S&P series is inherently more fun because it's faster, there's more to the gameplay, and it's much deeper and more technical.
SF64 is kinda boring actually.
>>323453746
Millennial detected.
>>323477347

Assault was overall very bad but the music produced for it was 10/10. The music alone deserves a better, current gen HD game.
Haven't even touched
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIETrKo0Ao
Even stuff like Zoness, although I'd prefer an actual orchestral recording to the original N64 track, which by itself was still quite thrilling in conjunction with skimming the infinite ocean.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdhN2JPqvc
Assault also had great original music
