So fun fact- Did you know that a mod released for Half Life Alyx, that replaces Alyx with Krystal, and Krystal is voiced by her ORIGINAL VA from Star Fox Adventures, Estelle Ellis. That honestly threw me off so hard.
I did see this! I actually had it in my notes but never used it. It's so cool to see her do roles like that for community projects.
@@ZerbraxiShe still called herself the original Krystal on her twitter bio lol
Really? I knew there was a half life 2 mod. But half life alyx? Also. Isn't her VA married to the mod creator?
Pretty sure it was actually for Half Life 2...

I fucking LOVE this game, sure it's not a typical Starfox game, but the visuals, the characters, the world, it's fantastic, and there's always Starfox Assault to remedy this, Assault is a great pairing to this game, Adventures acting as the finally modern Starfox game visually, and setting up Krystal's intro to the series, so when you play Assault you're already familiar with the idea of a Starfox game with ground gameplay, yet also familiar enough with Krystal not to be confused by why she's in Assault. The 2 games work so well. Assault as the more traditional Starfox game with fun new element like the Landmaster and on foot combat, and Aventures as just a cool intro to Krystal and RPG game.
Could not agree more. Adventures plus assault is amazing. My favorite games ever honestly.

Good news! The game is fully playable now! It is recommended to play on an Emulator though. Community member Calinou has posted a video to their channel showing how stable the game currently is. We have had several members of the discord perform full playthroughs to credits as of recent. Patches are still being released as well! If 60FPS sounds good to you, that is also now supported.
!!!!!!! I'm adding this to my project board to cover right now! This is so exciting!
@@Zerbraxi Keep in mind, stability is still lower than desired. You will still run into some crashes, of course. Additionally, don't forget that Savestates don't actually "close" the game, so the virtual n64's memory doesn't get cleared. Any memory leaks, and it can pile up on the emulated N64's part and encourage more crashes. I believe normal saving is entirely functional, savestates ar ebetter for quick redos while saves are for stability and hopping off the game.
i personally loved star fox adventures it was tons of fun in my opinion.
That's awesome! I'm still glad when others enjoy something I'm otherwise 'meh' on.
@@Zerbraxi thank you man :)
@@TevyaSmolka thank you for watching 😀
@@Zerbraxi your welcome ;)

I have to point out as you mentioned at 43:13. The original voice of Krystal in Dinosaur planet was Eveline Fischer - not Estelle. Eveline worked at rareware and also voice Joanna Dark in Perfect Dark.
Ya...I messed this up 🙁 I wish TH-cam still had annotations so I could just make a small note there. It's a pretty embarrassing screw up.
She also did a bunch of tracks for DKC3 alongside David Wise. She’s a legend
Krystal, like many characters from Dinosaur Planet was going to be axed by Rare from the final game. It was Miyamoto's decision to keep her in since he wanted an attractive fox girl in the series. It would also explain her limited time in the final build.
Lol it would also explain the "sexy time" sax music that plays when Fox first sees her. That scene goes from serious and eventful to weird so fast.
@Zerbraxi It gets weirder when fox says "But how do I get mine in there" when glancing up at her. You can also see suggestive posters on the Great fox when Krystal gets there. Kind of makes sense when you think that Fox probably hasn't seen any ladies in the eight year gap between 64 and Adventures
It was also his idea to make her more sexy.
@@renakunisaki That idea perhaps worked too well.
Yes to Turok retrospective! Turok 2 was a favorite of my brother and I. I can still remember the opening, mostly because I rarely got too much further beyond that. Haha But I loved playing that game, starting to get some of those better weapons and killing Dino’s in some of my deeper runs. So much fun!
Nice! It's a series that seems incredibly underappreciated. I remember playing A TON of that Turok 2 multiplayer back in the day. My cousin used to be way better than me at it so I'd always beg to play Smash Bros instead so I could feel better about myself lol!
One thing that is a big misconception about Star Fox Adventures is that Miyamoto didn't just say "Cool game! Make it Star Fox." A new SF game was beeing produced alongside Dinosaur Planet, but after a long trip to dev hell that made them scrap the starfox game and just fuse the best ideas from both projects to make a game for the Gamecube, Star Fox Adventures was born.
Yeah I tried to make the comment there that "the details change depending on who you ask" because even internal developers at Rare have told different stories of the events over the years.
However, after now having played the Dinosaur Planet prototype for about 6 hours, and have seen more of what it is in the prototype's code as available content that is playable, I'm really curious to see what things actually came over from the Star Fox game that was being worked on because SFA is VERY close to Dinosaur Planet in a lot of ways.
I wonder if there's evidence to this lost SF game before it got scrapped in favor of Adventures and combining the worlds of DP and SF into one big mess. Is there a link to this?
DUDE I STRUGGLED WITH THAT DAMN TEST OF STRENGTH AS A KID TOO
I'm so glad I'm in good company!
@@Zerbraxi you described my struggle verbatim
My god dude, I understand your pain with the test of strength part. Back when I was a kid I couldn't do it either. I had to ask my dad to do it for me. So yeah, imagine my dad coming home from work and I was like hey dad, can you press this button for me as fast as you can?
And now you'd probably destroy it in less than 2 seconds lol.
I understand it very good aswell. Me & my Sister were playing it back in the day and we never gotten through this point because apparently we were to "stupid" to press A fast enough. Nowdays its not a problem at all. Thx to our Mother and her fast thumb we beaten him at some point. Tho later my sister found a useful trick on the Internet that when swiping a pen over the A button it presses it also many times in a short time. Also usefull in Mario Party mashing games :D
@MauriceGS first off, shout out to your mom huh?! What a boss.
Pen trick works well. Another one is to use your pointer finger only cuz the reflex is faster. That or use the thumb for A and "bounce" if off your pointer finger on the back of the controller while still pressing. Essentially doubles your presses when you get good at it. Totally how I win at every Mario Party mingame despite getting screwed everywhere else and still losing.
I just found your channel today and im watching all of it, dude I love your channel and you actually really made me laugh, one of my new favorite channels for sure.
Thank you SOOO much!! I'm so glad it's made you laugh. I really hope you enjoy everything else there that I've made and what's to come.
@@Zerbraxi I absolutely do and will continue too🤙
I miss Rare. This is still my favourite game almost 20 years later.
That's really cool. I also really miss the Rare from this time period. I've debated doing an entire retrospective episode on just them in particular. Maybe someday...
I grew up playing star fox adventures on GameCube in the early 2000's and the 90's was the best super Nintendo mario world from 1991
Super Mario World is beautiful!
@@Zerbraxi yes
Good luck on a Turok series review if you ever do that. I’m assuming you’re truly ecstatic for the Nightdive Studios remaster of 3. Hopefully they also get their hands on the prequel because under the various issues with controls, checkpoints, and some other issues it seems to be a really good game. I’ll definitely play those games once they go on sale. I LOVE just how crazy and stupid the game’s premise is. It’s too bad the series is now dead. They look like so much fun. You’d think that with the resurgence of Boomer Shooters and Neo-Boomer Shooters like Doom 2016/Eternal that we’d have a new entries that takes the best ideas from across the series and builds on it. We NEED more weird games like that.
Part of the reason I'd love to do a Turok Retrospective is actually because I haven't played most of the series but I always remember loving what I did play when I was younger. Embarrassing fact, but I didn't even know there was a Turok 3 until like a year ago....yikes huh? I love exploring these series where I haven't played every entry but I have a "rough" idea of it because then everybody can kinda chime in and either set up my expectations or mess with me about things. This happened with Golden Sun The Lost Age for example which I hadn't played before and everyone's enthusiasm for it made me like it even more!
However, based on the recent poll I threw out there, Turok easily won so it's definitely happening now. I just wanna wrap up Star Fox first before I start anything on Turok since I'm so close to finishing the Star Fox series. Just finished the last of the 9 endings in Command last night :)
That’s interesting. I have a similar story in regards to Half-Life where for a very long time I had yet to play the series. But, it still had a really big impact on me because I’d watch a bunch of lore videos, some let’s plays, Half-Life 2 Beta recreations, and some other things. The Half-Life series was pretty ingrained into my psyche and because of this Doom 3 was my favorite of the Doom games because the overall tone and set up was basically Half-Life 1 with demons instead of aliens. The Aliens series is also something that had a big impact on me despite the fact I’ve only seen one of the films, and bits and pieces of some others (mainly because as a kid I wasn’t allowed to watch rated R movies, and I just haven’t gotten around to it as an adult). I’ve watched numerous lore videos, played a few of the games, read several comics, and my cousins had the action figures. There was also this really cool AVP Minecraft mod I really liked. There’s some things like that where even though it took me a long time to experience the main thing they still rubbed off on me. Recently Turok has kind of been doing that. I’ll DEFINITELY play those games when they go on sale. Good luck with those videos, especially on the 2008 one that tried to be a mashup of different shooters of the time and failed miserably (assuming you do that🤣🦖). I think a big chunk of why I find Turok so appealing is because I LOVE the Lost World setting/genre because I watched the Peter Jackson King King a bunch as a kid, and that weird Land of the Lost movie with Will Ferrell (that movie is so atrociously bad it’s good😂).
Good luck on the rest of your Star Fox retrospective. It will definitely be good to have that past you. Fr what I’ve heard Command is really fun, but it gets repetitive fast so you only want to play it in short bursts. I watched a let’s play and aside from story beats not logically lining up with your ingame actions it was fine for the most part. Most of the characters acted like they normally do and it would’ve been a decent sendoff for the series. Unfortunately, the terrible endings and the sections with Krystal tank the game. I don’t really have to go into detail why because it’s pretty self evident. Good luck on that video. It will be interesting👍
I LOVE this game so much. I'm a massive starfox fan, but an odd fan. Assault and adventures my 2 favorite starfox games by a mile. I wasn't introduced with starfox 64 but actually through smash bros 64, that's where i fell i love with fox. So i always saw fox as a fighter so when adventures came out... holy crap i loved it SO much. Fox with a freaking staff running around?! Amazing! And assault is just.... it just the perfect mix of everything and it's beautiful as hell.
Even as much as I pick on Adventures, there's SOO much to love about it still and Assault, man Assault has such an unnecessarily bad reputation.
I hope you enjoyed :)
It's such a shame that Star Fox has joined the halls of "Nintendo franchises that will likely only be known through Smash"
It really might end up being that way. What's a shame is that in the age of Roguelike's and lites, it would be very easy to adapt the gameplay of Star Fox and the model set forth all the way back even in Star Fox 2 and it could be an incredibly interesting title.
There are still a lot of options they could run with, but I'm not confident we'll see anything for a bit. Though I at least have at least 4 more videos to do for this series so we can have some fun with that along the way :)
This game is very nostalgic for me. I've never gone back to it as an adult, but as a kid, I loved it.
As much as I pick on it, please don't let me ruin your fondess for it 😀
It has some awesome moments
I already watched a couple of days ago but I just wanted to say this is very good in-depth retrospective!
Also didn’t know this was you I thought you stopped making content a while ago
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you coming back to leave such kind words.
I'm not sure if I could ever really stop making stuff. I've been doing it for so long now, granted not always consistently, but I'm pretty sure it's an addiction at this point 😅
Weirdly, i had a dream the other day that because Microsoft had not released a RareWare game in so long the company reverted back to Nintendo 😂 if only it wasnt just a dream.
Great video! Really interesting to see the differences laid out like this.I heard about the alpha build releasing but haven't checked it out yet. Its always fascinating to see games in early builds like this, I wish we got to see more games in this state.
I personally really enjoyed StarFox Adventures, i hadnt played a zelda game before i played it so it just seemed completely original to me. Also this game still looks amazing, honestly how did Rare get the fur animation so good in the early 2000s
Yeah the visuals are absolutely insane still. Granted this footage wS using some upscaling but even on my original gamecube hardware in 480p native wide-screen it's easily one of the best looking games of that generation, if not the best.
@@Zerbraxi I know it will never happen but I wonder how much a remake could improve it
@@thepixeltavern Rare is working on EverWild.
I had Turok on n64 as a kid, it was cool! I even bought a couple of the novels, and I was captivated. What a time. I'd watch your retrospective definitely, I've been meaning to give the game a shot again these days as it's been more than 20 years.
It's on my list to do. Trying to wrap up the Star Fox series at the moment but I hope to start working on Turok this year maybe.
Sweet dude@@Zerbraxi
I love how you jumped in the shower for a 20 second clip. Great stuff as usual zerbraxi, I'd love to hear you talk more about rare stuff, kind of miss them and their games
Thank you! :)
Oh this definitely won't be the last time I talk about Rare.
Buck Bumble name drop, holy shit. I haven't thought about that game in like, 25 years.
Bum to the bum to the bum to the bass
to the bum to the boom to the Bumble
_Star Fox Adventures_ is such an odd mess of a game when you look at its development history. It began life as an original IP at the tail end of the N64's life cycle, but Rare was pushing that aging hardware beyond what Nintendo thought possible. The game was featuring fully-voiced characters and cutscenes along with a story and characters that had a surprising amount of depth and potential to them. Rare really wanted to make their own adventure game that could stand on the same level as Zelda.
But then Rare's higher ups took Miyamoto up on the suggestion to transition it to a _Star Fox_ game and everything went sideways. First they had to redo parts of the story to make it fit within the new series, then they had to transition from the N64 to Gamecube, then they had to start cutting tons of content to ship the game two days before they were bought out by Microsoft. At one point Krystal herself was almost cut entirely to save time until Miyamoto encouraged Rare to keep her in (and change her appearance to give her more "sex appeal"). It's a miracle the game looked and played as well as it did given how much was altered in development.
For as odd and divisive as _SFA_ is among the fans I still think it represented the right path forward for the series. Although I had great times with the rail shooter gameplay of _SF64_ I found myself coming back to the series because the setting and characters had that charm and promise of an ongoing adventure story that most Nintendo franchises don't even bother to try. I'd honestly rather see Nintendo give _SFA_ the reboot treatment that restores the original game's narrative and work it into the setting better rather than yet another retread of the first game.
In fact, there's been enough interest in a _SFA_ remake that two major fan game projects have already taken up the task. The one I'm most intrigued for is rebuilding the entire game in Unreal and combining the original _Dinosaur Planet's_ story and gameplay with modern refinements. This includes revamped Arwing sections, better on-foot combat and exploration, and Krystal having her protagonist status restored and working alongside Fox to save Sauria. The creator even got Estelle Ellis to reprise her original Krystal role for this project.
The story behind the development of the game is equally as interesting as the response to it. It's truly the culmination of so much that either lands as a love it or hate it scenario. I also would love to see a return to this style in some capacity. It would be controversial yet again, but even a hybrid gameplay setup with Adventure and Arwing sections could provide to be an incredible experience. I mean heck, an NES game called The Guardian Legend did a very similar thing with Adventure and Rail Shooter gameplay where you back and forth and it's actually awesome!
GOT YOU NOW, STAR FOX?
Ew, what? Link? What are you doing here?
HYAAHH!!
I liked the game for what it was. A little disappointed at first but the Zelda clone gameplay was good enough, I ended up finishing the game without being left unsatisfied, so that has to mean something. Absolutely a one-and-done game.
I had a harder time at the Test of Fear section.
I can only wonder about the thoughts on Star Fox Zero. It was ambitious, perhaps overly ambitious, in my opinion.
This time around I failed the Test of Fear maybe 3 times? Definitely harder than strength.
We'll definitely get to Zero. I try to be as fair as possible and Zero is just so complicated to talk about so we'll see how that goes.
I Loved this game, got it for Christmas and played it until it broke. It was so beautiful to look at! Loved the music, designs etc. - Never played Zelda and the original Star-fox game. I will always love this game, but I would love to play the game it was supposed to be too!
That's so cute. Nothing can ever overpower that feeling of a game you love as a Christmas gift.
@@Zerbraxi I know right! I got Gamecube too, so it was the biggest gift after playstation 2. It was the first game I really really wanted after the Spyro games, SMario 64 Bajo etc..
First time seeing a vid of yours, it's like an amazing mashup of Nitro Rad and AVGN, I love it!
I'm so glad you enjoy! Those 2 are definitely large inspirations for me. They're great dudes who make great stuff.
I might give Star Fox Adventures a shot... this game is gorgeous!
Even playing it on original hardware it's a pretty game. Playing it on a Gamecube with an RGB SCART cable connected to my Retrotink and it's beautiful. Playing it on Dolphin Emulator upscaled to 1080p with precompiled shaders and it's absolutely GORGOEOUS for a Gamecube game.
Basically, you have several options on how to play it and it's one of the best looking games of that generation regardless of how you do it.
Pssst, play dinosaur planet instead! You can download the rom or even play it on real hardware. It’s not finished, but it’s a beautiful and super interesting game. And it’s fascinating to see the original vision before it was butchered.
The strength test is the sole reason I can’t play this amazing game without a turbo controller. Only other criticism I have is the fire blaster control. It has often resulted me in just stopping a playthrough for months on end simply because I spend hours just trying to aim it to free the high top on dragon rock. Otherwise, the game is a fun and amazing experience every time. And it was a great introduction to Andross for those who only had access to the Star Fox game cube experiences.
The aiming is definitely something I don't like either. I pledged to complete Jet Force Gemini this year and it uses the same control method and I'm not thrilled about it
Honestly those strength and endurance tests can be beaten by pausing as soon as you get tired. Idk if starfox allows pausing, but rare had races with this bird lady from Banjo Tooie. And even though it gets harder with every race, I pause the game to take a break and to allow my muscles to relax. Bout 5 to 10 minutes, then start up again.
This could definitely work on the Test of Strength, but fear might be a bit tougher since the Test of Fear is less about endurance of any kind and more about response time. Pause strat definitely ftw though.
I 1000000% related to the test of strength part. Love it.
Test of Strength was legit trauma for any child back then. Therapy for years to overcome those insecurities.
32:34 I swear that the test of strength is programmed in such a way that if you press A just a smidge too early you get whooped. At least that’s what kid me remembers.
My theory is that it's programmed in such a way that it knows if your under the age 15 and makes it agonizingly difficult just so as an adult you feel foolish when you crush it years later. Like some sort of sick joke from Rareware.
I'm totally embracing full conspiracy theory on this one.
I looked into it and it's really just "mash as hard as you can". The trick is that every frame you aren't mashing, you lose ground, so it's very unforgiving.
Good vid, as it stands I don't really have my own opinion on this as I've never played it (need to find a copy to experience it). But I am a big fan of starfox and I'm looking forward to your video on my favorite game in the series. Star Fox Assault
If you like playing on original hardware it's thankfully not too expensive to pick up since it sold very well. That, or you can explore the ocean and find the undersea animal Dolphin and play it on one of those :)
I'm really excited to jump into Assault because I've not played it in such a long time but I remember playing the multiplayer SOOO much. Probably even more than 64.
I'm a bit obsessed with this game, and as far as I know I'm the only one to bother modding SFA (as opposed to DP). There's so much left in the code that tells you the game is really only half finished. About 50% of the maps were deleted. I don't know if both characters were meant to traverse the same dungeons (instead of Fox doing each one twice) or if there were meant to be more.
You mention that it was originally meant for two characters, and in fact many levels' animation scripts refer to Krystal specifically. They just did a check to apply it to whichever character is active. It's pretty evident from that and the general clash of styles that they just merged both storylines and then cut a bunch out. Meanwhile Fox is still named Sabre in his files.
There's a lot of leftover models, objects, voice clips, and sound effects too. You can tell there was major time crunch. I get the feeling the finished game felt rushed not only because of having to rewrite the story, but also because of changing console, and because Rare always got too ambitious and had to cut a bunch of things.
Rare's extensive use of the same stock sound effects as everything else ever was definitely one of their weak points. The music was always fantastic, but the sound effects were awkward. I mean, they work, but it's so strange to hear a horror movie trailer using the same "children laughing" sound as Diddy Kong Racing, or that one "whoosh" sound that's in everything ever.
People overlook the fact that Tricky is a child and a dinosaur. He can't really speak; there's a translator involved. He's basically a clever dog. The only thing that really bugged me about him was sometimes his breathing was too loud and sometimes he got in the way.
The Test of Strength is an odd one. Everyone finds it either absurdly easy or absurdly difficult. I looked at the code and unfortunately, the only "trick" to it is mashing as fast as possible. It's just very unforgiving if you aren't perfect.
Fun fact: the game has so much in common with Jet Force Gemini because it's the same engine. It's also used by Diddy Kong Racing and Mickey's Speedway USA. The maps are still called tracks internally.
That last bit of trivia is super interesting. I did know about Jet Force Genini and SFA but had no idea DKR and MSUSA were all the same engine as well. Thank you so much for sharing that!!
That bird at the beginning was going to be Krystals sidekick, like Tricky to Saber (Fox)
I think I ended up mentioning that near the end when I started going over Dinosaur Planet, but if I didn't state that then whoops!
Adventures was the first Star Fox game I played. Because if this I didn’t experience the jarring shift between it and 1/64. It’s crazy to think it’s 20 years old now. Wow!
I really liked Adventures because the gameplay was fun for the most part. The music and graphics were super good. I really liked how it added Krystal and built up Scales. Too bad he wasn’t the final boss (Andross shouldn’t have even been in the game). Unfortunately, the Arwing sections weren’t super fleshed out and there were various drawbacks. A dinosaur world/land can easily be crammed into a lot of settings, but the fantasy elements clash too much with the sci-fi focus of 1/64. I’m of the opinion that for a sci-fi setting to have fantasy elements they should be there from the beginning like 40K and Star Wars. Stuff like telepathy and James being kept vague as to whether or not he’s a ghost, actually there, or a hallucination are fine because they don’t really rock the boat.
Even though I loved Adventures, I think Dinosaur Planet would’ve been the better game. The story is so much better, I really liked how Krystal and Sabre had their own quests and traveled to unique areas. The lore with the Krazoa and Drakor’s species was interesting. It’s really too bad that we didn’t get this. I would’ve loved to see where the story could’ve gone in potential sequels. Thankfully we at least have the rom and like you said the community has been continually fixing/improving it. Haven’t played it yet because I don’t have a very good computer that can run emulators, and I don’t want to play a buggy mess that crashes all the time. It will be awesome to see this thing once it’s done.
It’s really too bad that Rare was bought out by Microsoft and turned into what it is now. There’s so many great ips left dormant.
I know this next part will piss off some people, but I’ll say it anyways. When Goldeneye came out of GamePass I was excited because people have been hyping it up. Then I played the game and reaction was “this sucks. I’m going back to Halo and Half-Life”. I’d probably like the 360 Xbox Arcade version more since it’s a CoD clone and CoD games are fun.
Great video. It will be interesting to see your thoughts on Assault (favorite game in the series. Too bad they didn’t build on its formula).
I'm very looking forward to doing Assault. Goldeneye is definitely a product of its time but it's impact on the industry is undeniable.
Thanks for the discussion here. Definitely hoping to be able to cover Dinosaur Planet more thoroughly in due time. 😉
@Zerbraxi Good luck on the Assault video (You should include the clip from e3 where they showed it off as a fps and it got booed and was later changed to a third person shooter. I wish that they would’ve added in the option to toggle between first and third person). Assault is definitely my favorite game in the series. I really liked how you could jump in and out of vehicles. I just wish it was a little bit longer and there were more rail sections. I remember for the longest time I assumed it was the last game in the series because it had this feeling of finality and I didn’t think they’d try to make a game that would top them fighting bootleg Borg. Then I learned Command was a thing and the story for that is a complete dumpster fire (it’s sad because from what I’ve heard the gameplay was really fun and had it been handled better it would’ve at least been a good send off for the series).
If I could have any of the Star Fox games be remade it would be Assault. A while back there was a rumor about a potential Assault remake. But, that was based entirely upon people having wild speculations that Namco putting out a job listing to remake GameCube games for the Switch could potentially lead to that. Even if that is true we won’t know for several years and it could easily be canned halfway into development. Something I’d like to see in a potential Assault remake would be a side story that shows what Bill and Katt were doing during the game (there could be a starting mission where they also take on Andrew’s forces while Star Fox deals with them. One set on Corneria as it’s being taken over. As well as a space one where it shows the fleet being destroyed before fleeing towards the end. It would also be nice to see some Star Wolf missions). I’d also love to see more maps, playable characters for the multiplayer (if that was online it would be a blast), weapons, vehicles, and other content to better flesh out the game. Too bad that almost certainly won’t happen.
I can see that about Goldeneye being a product of its time that is nostalgic for a lot of people. There’s some games from my childhood I really liked that people now aren’t big fans of. Or certain small aspects of games that haven’t aged well, but like you said they set the foundation for more to come.
If you want more Star Fox content that isn’t official there’s two really cool fan games you should check out. The first is Star Fox Event Horizon made by UndyingNephalim/IceCreamMan. It’s a reimagining of the 64 continuity that uses characters and ideas from all three reboots. It’s a mod for Freespace Open, which is an open source game so it’s 100% free. Last year the guy got in contact with Krystal’s original voice actress and she’s going to do voice work for his game. He also found Bill/Wolf’s 64 voice actor to reprise his roles. The SNES/64 arc is almost done. The guy just has to add voice acting and rework/rebalance certain levels. He’s also setting the stage for the Adventures arc, which will include lore/plot points from Dinosaur Planet. The game is super fun. Unfortunately, due to engine limitations there’s no rail sections, you can’t transform vehicles like in 2/Zero, and you can’t hop in and out of vehicles like in Assault. Luckily the core gameplay is still really good, but those do kind of drag it down. There’s also a few bad/weird story changes here and there (killing off Fara. For the longest time I just assumed that she was some oc that got really popular until I learned she’s from a 90s Nintendo Power comic that almost nobody read). Thankfully those don’t drag down the experience too much.
The other is this reimaging of Adventures called Star Fox Remadventures, being made by Esphirian. I’ve talked with the guy in the comments and he has a bunch of cool ideas for the gameplay as story. For one thing Andross is dead and there’s just a military alliance between Scales and his remnants. Krystal is going to be along for the journey and we’ll see her bond with Fox over the course of the game. The Great Fox and it’s crew will play an active role in the conflict. For gameplay it’s going to be like BOTW where there’s a big open world and you can do objectives in any order you want (I’m assuming there will also be some Metroid elements where you’ll need an ability to access certain areas). You’ll be able to swap between Krystal and Fox like in Lego Star Wars and you’ll need their unique abilities to solve certain puzzles (I think that certain enemies will be weak towards a certain character’s abilities so that would also encourage you to swap between then). Fox will play more like Assault, and Krystal will play more like Adventures. In his version Randorn and Sabre are now Krystal’s biological family and blue. The Cerinians are also now native to Sauria/Dinosaur Planet and they’ll have a “special connection” to the Krazoa similar to Bungie’s version of the Forerunners that will explain their powers (in CE Guilty Spark mistakes Chief for a Forerunner implying that an armored human is indistinguishable from a Forerunner. He also calls humans Reclaimers, which means to reclaim something that was once yours. In Ghosts of Onyx the Sentinels speak Latin, which is the language of the Forerunners and the Covenant already understands that because they’ve been dealing with Forerunner tech for so long. Only humans can operate Forerunner tech without first taking it apart and reworking it. In the storyboards for Halo 2 the Ark (later turned into the portal to the Ark in 3) was located in East Africa where modern humans first originated some 100,000 years ago. This just so happens to align with when Forerunners disappeared from the galaxy. In the original Halo 2 ending the “big reveal” would where the Arbiter is taken by Guilty Spark to the Data Vault, which was this room that contained a sarcophagus with a Forerunner skeleton that acted as a holotype for the Ark’s machines to guild development of indigenous life to a desired point. I couldn’t be anymore blatant unless I was outright telling you what Bungie had planned. Gee, I sure do wonder what kind of a crazy revelation will explain why Krystal can interface with Krazoa artifacts and has powers related to them. It truly is a mystery). Scales is also misinterpreting the Krazoa as gods and I’m assuming his plan is to ascend and join them as a divine entity. Unfortunately, there’s no playable builds/demos at this point because it’s so early in development and Esphirian doesn’t want Nintendo to strike it down. You should check out the videos the guy made for it. It’s really cool.
Good luck on a potential Turok retrospective, assuming you do that. I unfortunately haven’t played the games because they were before my time and I haven’t gotten around to it. It’s really too bad that series is gone. Those games look like so much fun. I just LOVE the INSANE premise and all the crazy weapons that are super cool but would be horribly inefficient in real life. I wish more games would use Dinosaurs. It’s too bad that we won’t get a neo-Boomer shooter reboot like Doom did. There’s a lot you could do with that setting.
how do you not have at least 10 times the amount of subs you have? This is great!
Thank you so much :) that's very kind of you
8:02 because SFA is a butchered mess. That pterodactyl used to be a major character to DP. Really weird choice to not just get rid of the whole cage lol
Ya, I touched on that later in the video and the change from Princess Kyte to random tutorial bird is so odd.
@@Zerbraxi oops, can you tell I commented before finishing the video 😆
Stairfax Temperatures
I guess I didn't play the game until I was at least 16, which is already half to adult, but I didn't see the Lightfoot Test of Strength as "too unbeatably hard". NO, THAT particular oscar goes to the TEST OF FEAR, my absolute BELOATHED.
What I do like about Adventures is how well they had tied Krystal into the later games then, but with Star Fox Zero rebooting the entire franchise once AGAIN, they do make a reference to Sauria, but Krystal is nowhere to be seen, which I do find kind of a bummer because I do like her and her being a part of the Star Fox team. Also Assault should have gotten a better sequel than Command tbch...
It absolutely WOULD have been nicer to see her an Fox interact more and maybe even save the planet TOGETHER instead of her being discount Zelda recycled IN SPACE and OR even play the original Dinosaur Planet as it was originally intended by Rare.
Ya that Test of Fear was WAY harder than I recalled. I don't know why the Test of Strength was the piece I struggled with back in the day but have no memory of having any difficulty at all with the Test of Fear.
I'd enjoy a Turok retrospective. I think Turok 3 is one of the most fun N64 games,, I just replayed it a few months ago.
I didn't even know Turok 3 was a thing until like last year....yikes. I'm pretty excited to try it out though and your comment makes me even more excited.
The n64 game is fully playable, afaik. You just need to follow the right sequence to not break anything.
Oh? I had thought there was still some content not yet accessible. I'll have to check back in the discord then.
@@Zerbraxiwell, last i checked, the game went into "beatable" status, allowing people to see all the content there is in the rom. Probably some good 20 hours of gameplay If you know exactly where to go and what to do. Would love to see a playthrough.
The only thing that comes close to Rare’s run in the 90’s is Rockstatar from 2001-2013. GTA, Midnight Club, Bully, Red Dead Redemption, max Payne, LA Noire and Manhunt
Great point! Also so happy see someone else giving some love to Midnight Club.
I'm just disappointed because Dinosaur Planet almost certainly would've been another Rareware n64 banger. Taking Miyamoto's offer to make the game a Star Fox title was a pretty safe move financially and publicly since they were in a bit of a struggle at the time and it was a new IP, but it also put Star Fox in a weird position because now the next game had to somehow appease the OG Star Fox fans and the new fans of Adventures, and ever since then the series has sort of been an inconsistent, rocky mess. I really wish that Star Fox would've had a natural evolution from Star Fox 64's gameplay and that Dinosaur Planet got to remain and succeed as it's own franchise. I don't think Adventures is a terrible game, but I definitely don't think it was worth what we possibly could have had in the grand scheme of things.
It's not the ultimate release we want, but thankfully it seems like everything from the Dinosaur Planet prototype is fully playable. I will DEFINITELY be covering that at some point for sure because I share you sentiments about it.
Love the video.
Thank you so much!
Okay Zerb put out a 55min video on SF Adventures … that’s a fuck yes
Lol!!! I really hope it was a good 55 minutes and you had fun 😀
@@Zerbraxi that feeling when you ate a bad ass meal and you’re left on couch like damn that was intense.
That
That right there .
Thanks for the video!!
Jeez...wow...I never imagined I could make someone feel like that.
Im... honored!
So a lot of people like to blame Nintendo for messing this up by forcing fox in. But why? Fox could’ve just replaced Sabre like he basically did, and Krystal could’ve stayed in the game. Like why the heck did they remove Krystal’s sections? Making this a star fox game doesn’t necessarily mean remove Krystal entirely.
We'll probably never know the exact details of the how and why. Maybe in time though we'll get more of Dinosaur Planet to play and have our cake and eat it too.
@@Zerbraxi Maybe Miyamoto didn't want Fox to use a sword??? So Krystal was removed and Fox was given the staff.
Ahh, Adventures! The game with super graphics, super bgm and terrible gameplay.
As far as tough challenges are concerned, the most dreaded part of the game for me was the krazoa challenge of fear. Trying to keep the bar within the boundaries was very hard and I had to laser-focus on the meter so much that I couldn't enjoy the visuals. I would also fail it so many times and be forced back to the beginning of the temple every time, too, which made it frustrating.
As for that strength test you hate, here is a tip; momentum can help make it even easier. From my experience, it seems that the rate of spin from the totem itself adds a hidden dynamic to how easily you can recover when you are being pushed back. Allow the big guy to push you back a bit, but not enough to knock you over. Next, start jamming the button like crazy. The resulting speed of the totem's spin will be harder for the brute to recover from as he nears the pit and will knock him into it.
It kinda sucks that Krystal didn't get more play time in this game like she should have. If they had just kept the switching between two characters in this game. Not only would it have made more sense, but I would have enjoyed seeing a hot furry babe bashing baddies' heads in with a staff. Meanwhile, Fox himself would blast them away with his awesome array of blasters and cannons. Seeing what a flying dino companion could do would have also been a nice addition, kinda like having a dino drone.
Krystal not being more involved is probably the biggest sin of this whole game. Especially when you consider that she actually never gets to shine in the entire series...like at all...ever! If not for Dinosaur Planet I'd honestly have like nothing to say about Krystal at all but her setup is clearly good but never paid off. It's a real shame.
@@Zerbraxi It would be nice to see her star in her own game just for that reason. I just hope that the devs don't mess it up if they do that.
The test of strength must have got child-me stuck for a year, until I got a turbo-controller. The trick is to start out slow and then go fast once you get a bit of momentum going.
Honestly, I just spammed as fast as I could and it ended in less than 2 seconds.
Okay yes, hello, hi. I came here to listen about Star Fox Adventures and then 13:41 happened and you my good sir are very much correct. SONY, REMAKE LEGEND OF DRAGOON. pls and thank you, have a good day. carry on.
Preach it!!
How the hell is it even remotely possible, that this channel is still this small? Have watched the video and thought, okay..... Maybe this channel is still very young..... I dunno how it works out, because this video was very well done. Good camera quality, flawless audio, enjoyable content and a lot of entertaining footage. Also the drawn thumbnails are really damn nice. I hope you keep your motivation for your content and that this channel will take off at some point. Without any questions, there are plenty channels of worse content but more views.
And I can tell, because I am also in the process of setting up a channel. And despite me getting ready to put everything into it, I got no idea, if and when it may get successful. But no worries, the content will be very different than yours. =)
I was really not expecting to read something this kind-hearted today. Thank you so much. These types of comments are motivation enough for me so thank you 😊
I wish you well on your journey into videos! It's a fun ride and will grow you in far more ways than you might expect. Remember to have fun with it!
@@Zerbraxi Glad I could give you a good feeling. I am also an artist since I was a little kid and I know it way too well, when barely anybody cares to leave some words, especially some, that have any kind of a meaning.
I haven't yet watched many of your videos, I kept a few saved for when I have time, but so far, I couldn't find real flaws. I dunno what you were aiming for, feels like a mixture of AVGN and good old JonTron, however not as unhinged. But I understand, it is hard to go that nuts in today's TH-cam world.
I've got 2 little pieces of advice:
1) Some of your sounds are only on the left channel. Are you using DaVinci for editing? If so, those sound files may be mono and you forgot to set them to Stereo, the program only plays mono files on the left channel (very stupid standard behaviour). If I am right, just select all mono files, hit F12, audio tab, change to stereo and activate the right channel.
2) I enjoy foul language and my channel will be full of it. However, the way you are using it so far seems...... uneven. For the biggest part, your content seems rather family friendly, so having a few bleeped bombs randomly doesn't seem fitting to me.
Since I don't think using more foul language would help your channel, I suggest to use less harsh words, which you may not need to bleep and they would fit better with the rest of the content. But only a suggestion, it would not be a killer factor if you kept it as is. =)
Having mentioned the audio thing, your editing seems rather clean. I am a professional editor myself, so I know the field. Still, if you could use tips for more cool stuff in the edit, feel free to hit me. I am also graphics designer, so if I can help you with something in this field, let me know as well.
The voice actors noticeably struggling with Panzerese (the made-up language) compared to Japanese is quite noticeable in Panzer Dragoon Saga too, while in the previous games this was delivered completely fine.
But this is limited to just the initial and final scenes whereas the other games are fully in Panzerese, a neat explanation of this can be extrapolated from the lore.
Interesting. I know I keep saying it, but I mean it, I really want to jump into Panzer Dragoon Saga. If it wasn't for this nagging thing in the back of my mind that wants to play it on original hardware, yes I'm way too aware of how expensive it is but I want to still, then I would've done it already.
Maybe this year will be the year I get over not being able to own it and just play it anyway.
Had me at "Remake Legend of Dragoon"
Waiting for its release is the reason I wake up each day.
The test your strength I remember when I was a child and I could not do that at all I even have my friend younger than me he tried and he felt so many times too until I got my big cousin damn there one tap pretty much all it took he a goat
The Test of Strength is this wild ride of emotions and memories for so many people considering how tough it was. However, you'll then get to that point as an adult and wonder if your child self just lacked hands considering how easy it actually is lol.
Maybe we all got... CONFUSED about that game... 20 years ago (Oh man I'm feeling older everyday)
But you got a new SUSCRIBER! How about that?!
Wow!! Thank you so much. I'm definitely not confused about how thankful I am 😀
how did you get the game to have such sharp textures? are you using a HD texture pack for the game and where can i get it of that is the case?
I was using the internal scaler in Dolphin to do 1080p from 480p. I did also use the HD texture pack from CYB3RTR0N which a quick Google search will get you to the right place. The HD texture pack I mostly used for the UI elements as the actual in game textures scale so dang well then there's little difference between the pack and without. The internal scaling did more than enough.
Just be sure to use the "Precompile textures" option or else load times can get pretty long and you'll get some stuttering. I'm hardly a Dolphin expert and only use it on things I know I'll capture footage for, but hopefully that can get you started :)
What I find funny is dinosaur planet was 99% complete before they switched it over to Starfox and GameCube hell fans have been modding and fixing glitches in the prototype from a few years back to make it 100% playable
It looks like they're almost there too. Once it's 100% I'll definitely be back to give it a final go.
Bro needed that double thumb MarioKart Double Dash A button smash
What is this double thumb black magic you speak of? I'm all about that on floor index finger slamming action!
31:35 Yep. That was me too. Didn't palt this till very recently in my life, but that bit with mashing the button, I almost gave up on the whole damn game because of that bit, and took me over 70 tries.
The part I finally gave up was the part with freeing the Apatosaurus from those restraints. 3 and a half hours of crying, yelling, and nearly breaking my controller over that BS. And when I finally got it, I was lsit the next thing, and when I saw I had to do that again, I was like "...Fuck this".
I have still yet to muster up the courage to give that a go again.
All that frustration just for the twist ending... it's rough
I still have that game and it’s the best gamecube game ever
Dang! That's big praise!
@@Zerbraxi yea I played it like a thousand times and I agree what you said about you having problems with the strength part I need it a pencil or a toy to help me pass that level and I did and I also asked my dad to help me with that level because he’s so strong and he did pass the level too
I really think that this game had so much potential to become a classic that would masterfully close the life cycle of the Nintendo 64 by pushing the console to its limits and that would be fondly remembered like other RARE classics like Banjoo and Kazooie, Conker Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark.
It's really a shame that they decided to turn it into a "Star Fox Game", the Star Fox elements in the game always felt rushed and poorly fitted into the game's environment and I really hated some decisions like cutting basically the entire campaign of Krystal and imprison her in a crystal to fully focus on Fox Mcloud.
It's funny that I had a lot more fun playing the Beta of this game for the Nintendo 64 than Star Fox Adventures on the GameCube, I hope that someday Dinosaur Planet can suffer the same fate as Star Fox 2 and that we can play this game with its vision original.
Yeah, I think for this game to have worked it would've needed to just stay Dinosaur Planet, or there needed to be a Star Fox Adventures 2 to implement what they had learned.
I also had a load of fun playing Dinosaur Planets prototype for this video. It was a surprisingly good time considering how unfinished it is.
Maybe one day Dinosaur Planet will make its way back. I mean, the possibility isn't 0% at least.
Fun fact haven’t heard the name turok in a long time. But when I was a kid I loved this game (granted I didn’t have many games to dictate what was a good game or not) but it was a fun game to me but now that I’m older I kinda feel the things wrong with it but I still don’t hate it. Flaws are a massive part of games and sometimes they are more noticeable than others. But just because this game was meant to be another doesn’t mean there wasn’t some enjoyment to be had.
I never imagined so many people would actually want to see a Turok series retrospective LOL.
Agreed with your sentiment. I hope I was still able to point out its strengths while expressing my struggles and frustration.
I like this game, I wish it stayed as Dinosaur planet so we could have more of this style gameplay. I went from this to 64 and was like WTF is this?!
Ya the difference the 2 is staggering.
It's one of my favourite games from Star Fox franchise
Nice!! You seem to be in good company based on a lot of others similar feelings in the comments.
I love this game so much
I'm glad!! What's your favorite part?
It's such a shame. I wished they would have released the original idea with updated Gamecube Graphics.
Because Iam absolutely sure Dinosaur Planet will drag the N64 framrate to 10 or less. Anyway! Nice
video. Really good you also covered the beautiful Dinosaur Planet build. It's so bittersweet and sad :(
It won't be the last time I cover Dinosaur Planet. Looks like all of the content is now accessible from the prototype build, as long as you do things in a very particular way, so that alone will have me return to cover everything there is about the game.
34:06 I think I got used Jet Force Gemini’s odd controls after a while, but dear god, the Tribal hunt is faaaaar worse! I just want to play the final level please 😭
I'm gonna be going through Jet Force Gemini fully this year at some point and I want to try and more carefully analyze the controls. Not sure if I'll make a video on it, but possibly since it's Rareware and I'd love to cover everything they ever made on the N64
6:12 By the sounds of it you are from the US so you might wanna watch where you point that thang, Mess around and recieve 38 warning shots to the back. Great content though mate I'm joining the ranks of your subcribers.
LOLOL!!! In this here country it's shot, or get shot brother. My NES Zapper aint failed me yet.
Thanks for subscribing though. That means so much to me. :)
The Legend of Star Fox. Hard pass for me as I don't really think Adventures would be my taste. But I can't wait to see you talk about Assault. That was my first Star Fox even.
I'm excited to cover Assault. I know it's another "controversial" entry but it's a more focused conversation around the game itself rather than like Star Fox Adventures being a Star Fox, Rareware, and Dinosaur Planet all muddied up and everything.
I wish there was a sequel to star fox adventures personally where Krystal gets reunited with saber Randorn and kyte with help from Fox.
It is very sad that rare was bought by microsoft at that time. but probably these days with nintendo and microsoft having a good friend ship maybe banjo might come back.
I would love to see a return to some older Rareware IPs but I just don't think it will actually happen. They do like to acknowledge their history and legacy but practically none of those original staff still exist at Rare, and understandably so the new teams want to focus on new creations.
Though I still can't wait for the Dinosaur Planet prototype to be fully playable with what's available in the rom!
I Love Starfox Adventures, but I want to Play the ORIGINAL Dinosaur Planet. I don't see any Real Reason why we can't have Dinosaur Planet today. The Characters are Different, the Plot and Story may seem the same but End Differently, there are 2 Protagonists instead of just 1, there's no Starfox Elements in the Original Dinosaur Planet, and so much more. Hell even the Level Designs are Different.
Someone mentioned to me, and I've been following the Dinosaur Planet discord, but it would appear that all of the data on the prototype that was discovered is fully playable. It's probably the best we're ever gonna get and the most Dinosaur Planet we'll ever see.
The Turok games even Evolution are pretty great
I've not played all of them but I'd love to go back and play through the whole series.
Embarrassingly I didn't even know there was a Turok 3 until like last year....
@@Zerbraxiea people flip out when I bust out my N64 copy when I get asked whats an obscure game I own
@@wangchung2157 I've been slowly working to acquire physical copies of every Turok game so I can now join you at least in our Turok 3 N64 weirdness lol
I think the only games I'm missing now are Turok 2 and 3 on the Game Boy Color.
You beat the test of strength easier by moving your finger across the A and B button super fast, it hurts but you will get it your first try.
Edit: Maybe I was just a weak child too haha.
I think we were all weak. You're in good company 😀
This game was awesome. I dont understand how "starfox elitists" (most of which don't even have 10 hrs in Starfox) complained about this game when there was also Starfox Assault
To give them a little slack, people were pretty upset when this came out mostly because a game like Assault didn't actually exist yet. Honestly, I think the hate on it is pretty overblown almost entirely because several other great Star Fox games do already exist.
I loved it. but nothing will touch 64
Nothing would make me happier than a game finally eclipsing Star Fox 64. I'm still holding on to that hope. :)
If Nintendo or Rare actually made Dinosaur Planet instead of Star Fox Adventures, then maybe Dinosaur Planet would have had a franchise, depending on sales.
Unfortunately I have a feeling it would've been stuck as an unused IP similar to so many other Rare franchises at the moment. As much as I love Rare's stuff, if Banjo Kazooie is dormant I just imagine everything else will stay that way as well, unless Nintendo owned it like DKC then perhaps.
I liked the game a lot when I played it.
But you're right I wouldn't want to go back. The later levels felt especially meh even to me at the time.
That seems to be a very common feeling towards the game, which honestly isn't that bad. Not replaying something is pretty normal so as long as the first playthrough was enjoyable enough then that's good at least 😀
Wait you could haggle in that game?!
Oh no... he ripped you off didn't he?
Stairfax Temperatures
It was SOOO hard to not say that!
Krystal exists because of this game so I can't complain about that.
LOL, that seems like a commonly shared opinion :)
10:53 Funny enough you can't charge shot. No idea why that wasn't included.
22:15 Yup. Just, yup.
If we look at Star Fox for the SNES as well SF64, we have gotten ourselves the following picture of the Lylat System:
Animals in the real world are anthropomorphic and sapient, while the wildlife of the Lylat System consists of various fictional beasts. (I know Fortuna is referred to as a "dinosaur planet" in Star Fox for the SNES, but you cannot look at the wildlife you see there during Star Fox Zero and tell me those look like dinosaurs.)
Star Fox Adventures introducing dinosaurs and mammoths that look like actual dinosaurs and mammoths felt off, but it's not that bad because we only had two (technically three) games prior. It's not that ancient civilizations, magic, spirits or a big variety of creatures in the Lylat System couldn't possibly exist based on what we've seen from the series prior to Adventures, if anything what we see in Adventures does fit. It just feels off because you have all of these things basically thrown at you, making it *feel* off even though it's really not.
With that being said, the story is *far* from perfect. This game has so, so many plotholes in it (too many to leave in one single comment) to the point that the entire story just flat out falls apart where I can't help but look at Star Fox Zero and think to myself that rebooting the series was pretty much a good thing. (Star Fox Command's *horrendous* writing was another pretty good reason for a reboot.)
42:57 It's actually not the same VA. Eveline Fischer, known as the original voice of Joanna Dark, voiced Krystal in DP.
Bonus comment; 7:36 Pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, but they share a common ancestor with them. Dinosaurs are characterised by distinctive features of the skeleton, including a window-like opening in the pelvis where the thigh bone connects. Pterosaurs don't have this joint, and they have their own unique features such as extra-long fourth fingers that support their wings.
By the way this was a great video. Really liked the analysis and humor alike.
1) True. Not sure why I even said that honestly lol
2) To be quite honest, I don't think you can look at Fortuna even on the SNES version and say it's dinosaurs either. It's a pretty wild array of creatures, some of which are dinosaur clearly in nature, but others are pretty bizarre.
3) The story mistakes and plot holes could be a video in and of itself
4) It's a different VA? That really didn't sound like Joanna Dark to me at all. Wow....I had read during writing that it was the same VA but double checking it now...you're totally right. Whoops!!! Though I think the main point still stands but that definitely is a separating variable.
5) Nice! I was not expecting some paleontology to get thrown at me and I love it! Though...to be fair... It's not a Pterosaur either, but a Cloudrunner :P
Thank you for the kind words and also this wonderful comment. I'm humbled and glad you liked the video enough to write all of this out!
Did someone say Turok retrospective?????
Automatic subscription.
Lol!!!
I'm not confident exactly when it will happen because I want to finish Star Fox first, but as of this last month I've secured every game including ports so I'm fully prepared and ready to go!
Of course it's odd.
Starfox characters are forced shoved in there.
I Love Starfox but they don't belong there.
I just love that line. "They don't belong there." Lol
I loved this game when i just a wee little shite
Do you still love it as a rather big shite nowadays?
The game is alright. It has SO much style and charme... while the gameplay is obviously rather meh.
And then there is Krystal. I mean, I am no furry or anything but.... but well...
It's all good. You can just own it. Krystal fans seem very welcoming lol 😆
the game never tricked you into thinking it would be a normal starfox its clearly called starfox adventures the front of the box shows them there out of the vehicles
and all the screenshots on the back show it too
why do people pretend like the game was tricking them like that really annoying
It's funny because I'm pretty sure I made this exact comment as well in the video.
oh yea i was just tricked by the part where you pretended to have that dumb opinion@@Zerbraxi
Y'know all things considered if Nintendo was so dead set on adding fox, they definitely didn't need to butcher or alter so much of the original vision
Just swap Sabre for Fox and done. Make it a side story and no one would care. Well...people would still care but it might have still come out more interesting
Put that down!!! You don’t have enough scarabs!!
*increment bid by 1 scarab and try again*
I really like this video and even subscribed but there's too many I'll shoot you jokes. Otherwise it is great!!
I'm glad you enjoyed! I hope you enjoy everything else to come as well.
I find myself very harshly disagreeing with you about game feel. This game does NOT feel good to play to me and I don't know how any part of it does to people. The space segments feel serviceable because it only needed to work for 2 minutes at a time, and everything in the game is way too slow and boring. Even just feels in the way of itself in some ways. I think most of the positives you list don't hold true for me and I find it hard to even see it as an opinion based thing.
The fact that the key point your bringing up is game "feel" kinda inherently makes it opinion based. Feel is probably about as emotional of a word to possibly use when describing something. You at least acknowledge we agree about the Arwing sections. Sure, I equally share the cynical viewpoint that they only feel so good because there isn't enough time for any of their flaws to show, but that's just smart design overall.
I don't like most of Star Fox Adventures. If I never play it again I'll be incredibly happy. However, it clearly has a ton of love from a ton of people so exploring the aspects people love through their perspective is just something I enjoy doing because I get to see what they see. It's kinda why I joke about Krystal in this video, and the Assault one...AND the Command one. I don't understand the love for that character, but I don't mind trying to explore someone else's experiences to see if perhaps I missed something, or maybe we just disagree.
Disagreeing just comes with the territory and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Not seeing eye to eye on everything when discussing an art form is FAR MORE interesting than an echo chamber so I love it when people expressing opposing thoughts.
You're wrong
Games hit different when you are a kid.
Being an adult is lame and overrated
They definitely hit different, but I don't think it's always better. There's something to say about having the imagination of a child exploring these worlds and having no expectations. However, I also notice I appreciate games more as an adult and they tend to hit me harder now. A part of it is to return to playing games back in that child like mindset of just letting yourself experience something.
Bro trim your beard, trust me.
It`s very easy with a machine, too just put it on one set level, instant improvement for sure.
What? I don't even have a beard... did you watch the video?

So good the comment came through twice.
