Star Fox Zero News Roundup 3

Here it is: likely the final roundup of Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard news prior to the game launch. Enjoy!

Motion Controls Learning Curve

Many different people who have access to early editions of Star Fox Zero have stated that they fear players will be turned off by the motion controls. Not because they are bad. Indeed, the motion controls, and specifically the ability to aim in a different direction from your flying direction, is required to actually beat many of the bosses. To put it simply: Star Fox Zero controls must be learned.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. We all had to learn how to use 3D controls when games started shifting from 2D to 3D. We had to learn dual analog controls for first-person gamepad games. People expressed similar problems with having to learn the use of the new Steam controller with its non-tactile tactile feedback. No doubt there will be a learning curve on VR games as they start to discover different visual mechanics in those types of games.

In this age of instant gratification, Star Fox Zero actually requires some patience and time to master. If you find yourself frustrated with the controls, please take heart. Everyone else had to struggle through it too. Once it clicks, you'll be more powerful than you could ever be if you were only able to aim where you were flying.
