Миямото подтвердил факт того, что игра находится в разработке. Она тесно завязана на использование Gamepad-а, motion и стандартного управления:

“To me, what’s most important is probably the gyro sensor in the GamePad. It’s a little bit hard to understand, but when you’re looking in that third-person view, you can see what’s happening straight ahead of you, but when you have the cockpit view, you actually have to look over and see what’s to either side.

The third-person view of the entire area, what it does, it gives you a broader view of what is happening around you, certainly more than you can see when you’re in that cockpit view. And so as we get deeper into the missions of the game, we’ll be able to use that to give people reasons to take advantage of that. So, for example, if they’re in a course or a level they may need to figure out where the exit is, so they’ll have to be flying around, looking up and around to find that.

We’ve designed it so there’s the ability for cooperative play where one player is able to pilot the ship and the other player is able to use the GamePad and be the gunner. So they can just aim and shoot. They don’t have to worry about flying. We’re still developing the game… but one thing we always like to try to do is have some sort of way for people to play together, and the thing about these types of space shooter games is that they’re fairly easy to get into but they can look somewhat intimidating and complicated, so this time what we’re doing is we actually have a mode—we just didn’t show it—we’ve designed it so there’s the ability for cooperative play where one player is able to pilot the ship and the other player is able to use the GamePad and be the gunner. So they can just aim and shoot. They don’t have to worry about flying.

If there’s an event scene or cinema scene—because you’ve got your cockpit view that’s reserved for you—the event could be playing out on the TV and you’ve got a different view of that. So we’ll be able to take advantage of [you] being able to feel more like you’re part of the event that’s happening because of your ability to look around with that second screen.”

We originally began working with Star Fox back on Wii, and we had a small group of people experimenting with it for many years, maybe about six years, but we didn’t find an idea that really brought that together for the Wii. So instead we moved experimentation to the Wii U using some of the same assets. It’s been maybe 6 to 10 months that we’ve been experimenting with it.

...When we were developing a game, I wind up playing it for many hundreds of hours, and so because of that, I tend to get a little further away from the experience people have when they’re playing it for the first time. But that’s something we always pay attention to when we’re developing the game, and in this case I think Star Fox will be a game you spend a little bit of time getting used to the controls, but that once you do, then you’ll understand what’s fun about that experience.

I don’t think it’ll take a lot of play time for people to get used to it. For most people, it’ll take maybe 30 minutes to an hour. So from that standpoint it’s not a game that’s particularly well-suited to displaying at a show like this, where you only have a short amount of time to play, so that’s why we held the event yesterday, to get everyone in to play for a longer period of time than they might normally.

And then I also think that for a lot of people, they don’t have experience playing this sort of dual-screen gameplay, where you’re aiming with motion control and playing across two screens at once, so that also is maybe taking people a bit longer to get used to. But I look at video games as something that people who play them… One of the thing they enjoy is learning the controls, learning to master the game. And once they do, that sort of opens it up for them, they’re thinking about, “Oh, what’s this play style?” And then as they get deeper and deeper into the game and get better at it, they feel that sense of accomplishment having mastered it.

And then once you get used to the play style… I didn’t go into this detail the other night because it starts to get a little bit complicated, but once you get it, you’ll also be able to press a button to switch the view from one screen to the other. So you could play with the cockpit view on the TV and the fighter view down on the GamePad screen if you feel like that’s a better way to play.

...With Star Fox, one thing we’re doing is to make the game feel like you’re piloting your own aircraft. And so in that sense, probably initially one of the best ways to play is to have it up in front of you, in your line of sight from the TV. But also as I’ve been playing Star Fox more and more, what I’ve noticed is that it gets easier to play the game looking at the TV with the GamePad down. So as you get better, you’re gradually able to depart from holding it up.

...With the helicopter, we’ve been thinking of the two-screen gameplay, and so that was one of the early ideas. One of the things we’re considering at this point is making the helicopter so you could have two pilots, two people playing together, and what that’ll allow is you could have one player piloting the helicopter, and another player who’s using another controller to control the robot.
In the case of the Arwing spaceship, if you have two pilots, they’re most likely going to be sitting front-to-back, and you’ll have one piloting, the other able to look around. When you have someone piloting but someone else who can look around, what’s most beneficial to the person who’s looking around is the ability to look down below. In designing the Arwing we couldn’t quite think of a good way to have to redesign it so you’d have one player who could look down below. Thus we decided to create the helicopter.

...One thing I’m thinking is that with this Star Fox we may take a different approach, so that rather than one big title we have multiple releases that are connected through different missions. If I was to describe the Star Fox series up until now as being sort of a movie series, I guess I’d describe this new approach as something that’s more like a TV series for Star Fox.

В игре будет три режима - Arwing, Vs Wolf и City:

The first, called Arwing, is classic Star Fox, and consists of an open-sky dogfight against many enemies; you can also land and transform into a tank. The second mode, Vs Wolf, is similar, but pits players against series rival Wolf O'Donnell, flying a similar ship to yours. The third, called City, put you in a helicopter flying over an urban landscape, with the GamePad screen showing a top-down view of what's below.

По словам Миямото следующий год будет годом Starfox, поэтому ждем игру в 2015 году.

Еще кто-то попробовал демку:

I went to the Nintendo World Store this past weekend and they had a playable demo of Star Fox Zero that I got to try out. Corneria was the demo level and it was very similar to the opening level of Star Fox 64. As soon as I started playing, the game felt like a much improved version of the classic Star Fox 64 that I remembered. I’m very happy with the direction Star Fox Zero is headed as it feels like a true sequel and addition to the franchise.
While waiting in line to play I immediately noticed that Star Fox Zero looked much better to me live and in-person than it ever did through screenshots or videos I had seen online. I was pretty surprised with how clear and crisp everything looked and how good the water looked at the start of the level. I’m not a graphics nut at all, but I admit the presentation at E3 was a little underwhelming, however after seeing it in person I have no concerns about the visuals.
I was worried about motion controls in Star Fox because I’ve never really been a fan of motion controls for anything beyond Wii Sports or smaller uses like in No More Heroes or Super Mario Galaxy. When I first started playing I thought to myself that the controls didn’t feel “that bad”, but the more I played into the level the more I got used to the controls and better it felt. It wasn’t until late into the demo that I realized I could use ZL to focus on particular enemies (would’ve been nice to know sooner) and by the time I was in the free-range area at the end, I had a pretty good feel for the motion controls. Using the cockpit view to shoot turrets in the final boss fight was very smooth and I think more preferable than using the standard joystick. Using the right stick to somersault, and barrel roll worked flawlessly, and the new addition of transitioning in and out of the walker worked very smoothly too. Taking out the land-based enemies with the Walker made sense and didn’t feel forced or gimmicky. Also important to me is that you could still hold the fire button and lock-on to enemies and release a homing shot that would kill the locked on enemy and any surrounding enemies, creating a combo (like Star Fox 64).
While playing the demo, the Nintendo rep gave me some information on the game, he told me there are alternate paths in all of the levels (they were closed off in the demo though). The Nintendo rep also informed me that every boss will have a “secret” way to kill them. In the boss fight that I played you could shoot the turrets located in several spots on the boss to take them down the normal way, or going the secret way you could shoot off one of the turrets and reveal an opening into the core of the boss. I took the secret way and flew inside of the boss, then switched over to the walker-form. While in walker-form I went into the core area of the boss and shot another section in the center and it all blew up. The rep told me that when defeating a boss the regular way you get “Mission Complete” when you defeat the boss the secret way you get a “Mission Accomplished” and a different cut-scene.
Overall I'm happy with the direction Star Fox Zero is headed and it looks like it will be a great addition to the Star Fox franchise. It has the potential to revitalize the series and introduce it to a new audience while keeping it's fundamentals. Basing the game off of one demo level is tough, but from what I saw the visuals are great and the motion controls seem like they work well, I'm excited to play more of it when it comes out!
