First 30 minutes of Starlink with Star Fox

LordKano said:

Performance looks on point but the pricing is absolutely fucked. I just want to play the game, and there's no way to purchase it for under 80€.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it after a long deliberation. I still have GCU which made it $60 though. Still had to consider it because I can see this being on sell for Black Friday, though it will be interesting to see if that includes the Switch version.

More than Star Fox, the game feels to me like No Man's Sky with polish, but without the promises.

I'm tempted to get this, but I have to admit I'm still rather nonplussed at how much non-dogfighting there is in the game. When I hear "StarFox" I think of charing into battles with barrel rolls and bombs, not jinxing left and right and shooting at enemies while stationary. Anyone else feel that way?

Pretty much my thoughts. This looks rather boring.

My phisical copy has shipped. I'm tempted to get the store exclusive ships because you can't get them digitally.

My physical Xbox copy shipped from Best Buy. Do we know if this will be X enhanced?

The ships have hover mode and flight mode as far as I know.

One of the best looking game on Switch. Can't wait for it, played a demo in July and it's really good.

I'll probably wait for a discount soon after launch or early next year, since it's still an Ubisoft game at core.

This looks leagues better than any genuine Starfox game...

Ugh do a million games I want have to release back to back?

This isn't fair. Can I just be rich please?

As a starfox fan I'm not feeling it at all.

So is this a StarFox game or a generic space battle game with toys to life?

Can you play the whole game as Fox?

Yes.

Was my question too. So you can play as Fox and almost treat this as an entire Starfox game?

As a sucker for open world space games I am definitely going to buy this.... But I can't decide between Xbox One X and Switch. One X should be a no brainer since I love exploring beautiful space games, but I really love the StarFox integration TT.TT

So if you want to play this on Switch with the Star Fox content, what is the cheapest way of doing so? Is it buying it digital for like 60?

It's really just a space exploration game by Ubisoft that just has a rather elaborate cameo appearance by the Star Fox cast, as Dizagaox said on the other page.

I thought Fox was a smaller campaign of his own or something?

The entire game is playable with him? How does that work?

He has his own missions and you can have him help the humans do their thing.

Sander VF said:

My take was that you have side quest line for Star Fox and the characters also organically take part in the main quest as pilots with dialogue and such.

Is that wrong?

This is spot on.

Does the game run @30 fps on ps4 pro also?

Looks cool but I'm not supporting retail releases that require a download to play.

That's par for the course with Ubisoft games, they look nice and have interesting concept but their gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

I am only getting this game simply because of Star Fox and will be playing it from start to end as Fox and for any content that involves Fox and his crew, I don't give a shit for anything involving the Starlink crew.

I think the game looks good, and the approach looks like some form of typical Ubisoft sandbox but presented in a friendlier way, which can guarantee durability despite the toys-to-life concept. Lets see reviews, but if opinions are favorable and portable performance is adequate i´m pretty inclined to buy it, mainly because i love sci-fi and space games.

any chance they ever sell the game and all its dlc for a reasonable amount? mario+rabbids got a version including the dlc but only in europe

I get the feeling the switch version will influence what further content they do with starlink. Whether its DLC or a sequel.

If the toys to life part flops especially, (it probably will) you can still play the digital game since it includes all the starter pack content.

If this has a digital release and all the toy content is available in-game without a purchase, I'm getting this digitally.

I kinda feel bad for them because I don't think the toys to life aspect will do it any favours at retail. The game itself looks like it has a lot of love and effort poured in and especially the Star Fox part looks very high-quality for what is essentially a guest-appearance. I hope I am wrong but there's quite a few aspects that work against it.

The digital edition also comes with more ships/pilots/weapons, for cheaper than the physical edition.

Wonder which platform this game will sell best on /s

i fear it won't do very well on any of the platforms. i see the toy aspect of the game working against it. that market seems dead after skylanders and disney infinity, i don't see why ubi has chosen now to dip their toes into that market.

Embargoes. How do they work?!

I see it doing well on switch at the very least.

If you have GCU still you can get the Physical version for $60 with the Starfox toys and if you preordered they even threw in an extra pilot or something.

I'm so excited for this. Best Buy's GCU helped a bit with the physical price since all the toys are also 20% off with it. I'm getting the game for sure, but if the reviews are decent enough, I'll be adding a few more ships for day one.

Yeah the 60 dollar base digital version comes with way more stuff (about 75% of the ships/pilots/weapons) than the physical starter pack as well.

Is the only option for physical cart of the game to also buy the started pack with the toys? No game only physical with digital ships?

What a weird project this is.

Me thinking about buying a switch before the rumored hardware revision:

Zelda? I'll just play the Wii U disc version in HD on Emulator.
Zelda DLC? I can wait
Mario? Maybe i can wait
Metroid? I can still wait

Star Fox though? With good gameplay, cutscenes, and a full campaign?

To be completely honest, this looks like the best Star Fox game up to this date. Good job, Ubisoft.

Generally good advice, just be mindful that GCU can end at any moment... (probably after the holiday season, imo)

Have no idea how some of you managed to have it discounted with GCU. Tried purchasing twice back in june and was told GCU wouldn't deduct from full retail price on this particular game. Now that my GCU is expired, my only option is full price

If I buy this physically do I have to use the toys? Can I just leave star fox ship on the shelf and use it in the game?

How much are the switch digital versions? I've found what the two versions come with but I can't find a price tag for either of them.
