And while Kumzawa couldn't comment on the team's involvement specifically, he noted "the fact a lot of players commented they really liked the original design of Grace and didn't want to see it changed was a positive... It meant we got the design right [and] points to the fact that Grace quickly established herself as a fan favourite, that people had such strong opinions on her design."
Damn straight!

Guys you'll never believe it, an online only hero shooter is closing after just coming out.


It even had amongst its dev... some guy from a rock band... so you know it was going to make all the money in the world.
I can maybe understand big publishers having the capability to keep burning money in hopes of something sticking on the wall, but where are these indie devs getting their confidence from?

To be fair, they may be an indie developer, but it's not like Imagine Dragons wouldn't have quite a few resources to draw from to fund the game.

Bank of America securities stock analyst Omar Dessouky left an investor note explaining that Take-Two should charge $80 for GTA 6, so that other games can follow suit.

“We also heard from attendees that the industry, which is perceived as struggling, would have difficulty selling games for $80 if GTA 6 came out at $70,” it reads, as per Seeking Alpha. “We think it’s in Take-Two’s self-interest, as a publisher and partner to many developers, to raise the price point for the entire industry.”
Your opinion has been noted and taken into consideration! /s

Star Fox is back with another remake, but so much new content added!
Ugh Starfox 64 again? Well, its not like they seem to know what to do with Starfox outside that game and it is one of the greats, but someone has to have an idea that isn't meh to advance the series. Not that it really affects me since I have no intention of getting a switch 2. No matter how graphically pretty it is.

My hope is that this does well enough to encourage them to take just a bit of risk and remake Assault.

I don't remember Assault being good. Is that the one where they kept trying to make on foot combat work?

I never actually played it. The reason I want a remake is to get the opportunity, and it was at least something different for a Star Fox game.

Ok then, so that's technically the 4th time they're remaking Snes Star Fox. Fine, but they really don't know what to do with Star Fox, do they?

Seeing as Star Fox is a jet fighter game, and those games really haven't been able evolve much at all, this isn't too surprising. Star Fox is one of those IPs that seems to be coasting purely on being a big thing at the time, that time being 1993. Beyond making a splash with its pretty astounding 3D-esque visuals on the Super NES, has it made any other impact at all... apart from Krystal?

Type "do a barrel roll" into Google's search bar and that should answer your question.

If nothing else, people still care a lot about Star Fox 64, and not just for memes. On the other hand, considering the original's already available on NSO, they're probably going to have to do more than just a 'straight' remake to get people to care.

Sure, Star Fox is a one hit wonder, and I guess Nintendo agrees. And it's not like, say Ace Combat, break much new ground gameplay-wise with each entry either. That said, they do have new campaigns with a new story.
