Hay un nuevo rumor respecto a Retro que salido de los foros de IGN. Básicamente hablan del desarrollo de una especie de Star Fox + Mass Effect y el cierre de la trilogía DK:
Retro are working on two games. Both will be shown at E3, one more than the other, though. However, there is a third project that is going on even further behind the scenes and I got no info on it other than that. Third project. Not two, but three.
The first game is called "Lylat System" and is a space/planet exploration set in the Star Fox franchise. Open world Star Fox game where you can free-roam around, you guessed it, the Lylat system.
Retro began real work on this game shortly after finishing DKCTF but at first, it wasn't a Star Fox game. Around 6 months before DKCT was wrapped up, their next game was being blueprinted and was supposed to be a realistic, seamless space-to-planet explorer. A totally new IP from Retro. But, Retro reached out to Nintendo about turning it into a Star Fox world, as they felt it suited the Star Fox franchise and characters better than what they were planning on doing initially, and Nintendo were impressed. Nintendo wants Star Fox to succeed and when Retro suggested the change in direction, they immediately liked it and it was green-lighted. So it became Lylat System. This is the one that will get the full reveal at E3 and the biggest Switch game of 2018.
Some hearsay points:
- Began in development early March 2014.
- Originally a Wii U game, was supposed to get a reveal trailer at E3 2016 and released summer 2017, but was held back, then moved over to Switch in late 2016 and delayed.
- This is not a first-person game.
- Playable at E3.
- You begin the game as Fox, but you can also play as Falco, Slippy and Peppy, plus others new to the world of Star Fox.
- Star Fox is not in the title of the game, as he is one of many playable characters, not the main focus. The real focal point here is the galaxy itself and what it holds... and what wants to rule it.
- Both Retro and Nintendo wanted to re-imagine the Star Fox franchise. So expect quite a difference and a big game. Not just change in resolution.
- You can choose to play through the game as any one character and get different cinematics, story telling, side quests and gear than other characters.
- Main story is in a nutshell the same for all characters, but point of view in cinematics and their importance in storytelling, and side-quests changes depending on who your current selected character is.
- Fox and co. get more powerful. They level up. More tools, weapons, gear, vehicles, clothing and armor. Stores and specialists scattered around the system.
- You can switch between characters at any time when docked to Great Fox, home base, outposts or space stations. The other characters follow you either on foot or in vehicles.
- Switching is real-time at these hub areas, so no long loading screens as the character specific content loading is cleverly hidden in these areas.
- You can give commands to your squad as a whole or select certain characters and give orders. If you are not playing as Fox, you might receive orders from him.
- Hubs are not far-between so you can change characters almost any time you see fit.
- Six or seven main planets, each has it's unique atmosphere, landscape, population, cities, towns, lore and danger.
- Explorable areas on these six main planets range from 15 square miles, up to around 60 square miles for the biggest one.
- There are smaller planets that players can explore too. These planets are much smaller in explorable areas, though the planets themselves are big, some parts are not reachable. Yet. Future DLC?
- There are not just planets to explore. Asteroid belts, abandoned space stations and space crafts, and more.
- Returning (controllable) vehicles: Arwing, Landmaster, Wolfen, Blue Marine
- New vehicles (not complete): Airbug (two-seater buggy with jet boosters to hover over land and water. Fast and agile, but low on weapons and vulnerable) - Dro-Naut (circular shaped spy-drone, remote controlled or manned (Foxed?), can dive into water for a short period of time but can't dive very deep. Called Doughnut amongst staff because of the name and shape) - Rotasplit (Heavy-artillery helicopter that can release its cockpit from low altitude, which turns it into a mining capsule to invade areas from beneath while the helicopter itself, in drone-mode, provides aerial support)
- amiibo support. Of course. There are ten new amiibos incoming based on Lylat System. What they bring to the game is unknown.
- Holiday 2018 release
Second game is a year away, at least, maybe holiday 2019 - Donkey Kong Country: Wooden Fury. Won't get nearly as much Direct time or floor space as Lylat System. Not playable. Work started in early 2017.
Bonus: Shin'en Multimedia are working on F-Zero. Story mode, arcade and online.
María Unpajote si este rumor de Star Fox fuese cierto. Es un sueño húmedo demasiado bonito.
El bonus de un F-Zero hecho por los creadores de Fast RMX también da para paja a dos manos.
