Giles Goddard, one of the original programmers of Star Fox, wants to bring back the Nintendo game series to its roots with absolutely no “gimmicks”.
In an interview with GameXplain, Goddard answers if there were any Nintendo projects he'd be interested in working on.
“It would be interesting to do a Star Fox, I think,” he replied. When asked how he'd do things differently, he explained: “I think I would just dial it back a lot and not in gimmicks like, you know, the stuff Star Fox Zero had, and maybe not even put in the free-roaming aspects and stuff like that.”
“I would just bring it back, pull it back into what made the original Star Fox fun, and just make one based on that. I don’t know how popular it would be, but it would be cool to try,” says Goddard.
GameXplain also asked if he wanted to keep the modern look of the game or if he had planned on going retro.
“Yeah, a sort of retro Star Fox thing? Um, no,” he replied. “I think if we did it, it would have to be either an extremely stylized retro look, or just very updated and modern-looking. But I wouldn’t try to replicate the polygons from the Super FX chip because I don’t see the point. You don’t go back that far, you know. We’ve fixed that problem, you don’t want to go back to it.”
Should the project push through, this would be the first new entry since 2016's Star Fox Zero – a game that received mixed reviews.
