There was more than likely a lot more content than what the game ultimately wound up having. Over half the game's music went unused for one, indicating there was so much more. And it was stated Krystal was supposed to have been saved much earlier on in the game, at least after the third Krozoa Spirit.
I like how Fox and Krystal are not immediately falling for each other in some way, but instead acting wary, sizing each other up just after an intense firefight before deciding they can trust one another. They’re both competent warriors and they’re keeping their eyes on their objectives. And yet, there’s still little moments that give their relationship room to grow. Fox gets one sarcastically mocking dig in but then gets back to the business at hand (though to be fair, Krystal was dismissive of him at first and inadvertently touched upon a very sore spot that Fox I’m sure is sick of being reminded of), and Krystal shows a moment of genuine curiosity, wonder, and even joy as they speed away on the bike. The initial trust they give each other is based on caution and necessity, but their personalities will allow further development into a partnership over the course of the story. It promises a slower burn, which will allow a more interesting character arc for these two.
@@Thoralmir That is true! That demo of the some of the first missions shows a prior relationship with each other, enough that Fox wanted to catch up in the middle of a dogfight.
@@aramisdagaz9 She dies in the Lylat Wars, right after Venom. There's no alternate route to save her life, as much as the "Golden Ending" seeker that I am wishes there was.
@@zillachar the moment she asked fox out for a date is the moment when she was branded with the death mark. It's one of the oldest traditions in gaming, never say you are going to do something with a significant other as you will die at some point.
I like how Krystal is wearing the yellow dress from Dinosaur Planet. It’s nice to see her earlier and later character design combined. Can we expect future appearances from Sabre, Tricky, or maybe Kyte?
Some of the test levels shown do include the two original companions from Adventures, yet both are shown to be much older. The Tricky model is clearly based off of the version of him we see in SF-Assault, Kyte's model is also different as a test level shows Fox and Krystal riding on her providing cover for the Great Fox. As for Saber, It's a bit of a stretch to include a protagonist that wouldn't bring much to offer, since they aren't doing any on-foot levels. It's more likely that if any aspect of him would exist it would be his sword, and fox would use that likely in a future cutscene they have yet to make.
@@trevargrisham35 Since there’s references to their father Randorn in some of the gameplay footage, I thought perhaps Sabre would make for an interesting Rival for Fox. Like maybe Sabre could be overprotective of Krystal and is untrusting of Fox if they had to work together.
This is doing Star Fox Adventure the justice it deserves. The game may have not been the cup of tea for everyone, but beneath the Zelda-esque gameplay lies an interesting story that with some tweaks can still be an excellent Star Fox game
Krystal's father knowing about James's existence prior to meeting Fox McCloud is an intriguing idea to be honest. It expands on that James had more plans prepared for his son before his ultimate fate with Andross (which also fixes a small plothole in the original Adventures story of Andross knowing about Krystal and was possibly Cerinia's culprit of destroying it)
It seems like Randorn was a friend of James McCloud in the original Dinosaur Planet game. There's dialog in the ROM where he regrets that he was not around when Pigma killed him.
@@UndyingNephalim Yeah I do recall someone also seemed to have found that the name "StarFox" was also randomly namedropped. But, I wouldn't be surprised if these two where one of the same concepts
@@UndyingNephalim The original game had nothing to do with star fox. It was it's own thing until miyamoto in a moment of unfathomable stupidity commented that the PC looked like fox and the rest is tragic history.
I prefer this first meeting way more than in the "official" series. They're not just smitten with some random stranger; they start working close together because they're both in a bad situation and genuinely respect one another's bravery and ability. Fox taking a serious risk in letting his guard down was also a great first impression for her.
This was great! The Sharpclaws were their fun goofy jobber selves, Krystal was making full use of her staff, and both Estelle and Kyle voiced their conversation enthusiastically!
This is a much better starting point for their relationship, meeting as equals in different ways, none of that forced damsel in distress bullshit from her rewrite for Adventures. Looking forward to where this goes
The detail in their eyes as they stare at each other. The look of exhilaration and joy on Krystal's face as she rides a vehicle for the first time. The way the fire outlines her during the standoff. There were so many details you didn't need to put in, but went the distance to include regardless. Well done!
Impressive! Yeah, this is a much more realistic start to Fox and Krystal's relationship. I really like this far-more-believable portrayal of the characters (as much as I like Krystal's original outfit). I'm excited to see where this project goes.
Every time I see that scene I just expect Fox to say "General, that is the dumbest order you could possibly give, you expect me to survive here on a dinosaur ruled planet with no weapons, long enough to carry out my mission".
This is awesome!! I feel like if this was the direction Star Fox Adventures originally took, maybe the game wouldn't have turned out to be so polarizing.
I wouldn't say that polarization was the issue, the issue was Miyamoto sticking his nose where it didn't belong and forcing Star Fox into a game that should have been its own thing.
@@shadekerensky3691 To be fair, Dinosaur Planet was slated to come out near the end of the N64's lifespan, and development wouldn't have finished in time.
@@h0m3st4r actually, the game was mostly finished and ready to go by the time the decision to force Star Fox into the mix was made. I suppose it is irrelevant now seeing as we now have access to the Dinosaur Planet game and we can see what was meant to be, its such a surreal experience, for over 20 years it sat in a vault, but finally it sees the light of day.
2:15 The last Sharpclaw firing wildly at Fox: “Die! Die! Die! Why Won’t You Die?!” Nicely in-character for a Sharpclaw Grunt. He’s smart enough to know how to fire his weapon, but he’s too stupid to understand that his target isn’t dying because his shots are missing.
Now that you mention it, due to the recent overwhelming box office success of the Super Mario Bros movie by Universal Studios and Illumination, I can honestly see illumination make a Star Fox movie, which would be a dream come true.👍 And obviously, if that were to happen, I would not want the movie to be set in the Lylat wars. Because as important as the story during the war was, that story has been told multiple times in more than half of the games ever released including the original 1993 game, Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3d, and Star Fox Zero. Instead, I want this movie to be set some time after the Lylat Wars with Fox narrating everything that happened during that time in the intro of the film, and pretty much go in it’s own story with really good writers to keep the plot and narrative fresh and engaging for Star Fox fans. And of course, it would be an absolute dream if Krystal got put in that film as well. Whether she would be reprised by Estelle Ellis or not, just seeing her again after her disappearance from the franchise since 2005 would put an absolute big smile on my face.👍 While the Mario Bros movie’s plot is simple, just them listening to the fans is what kept people coming back to see the movie. And I have faith with this success, Nintendo and Universal will hire really talented writers to tell really good stories and narratives for future Nintendo films that isn’t Mario. Star Fox can obviously be one of those examples. Disney tried something like that with Lightyear (2022), but we all know how it went down. Within time, even if it’s likely years, I can only hope that they make a Star Fox movie that not only takes the story in its own direction while also keeping it familiar to fans with the Lylat Wars already previously happened before the events of the film, but also have really talented writers that can keep that said story not only engaging, but also fresh & new to fans.👍
@@nicholasjames8689 sounds very good 😁 lets hope that Nintendo will do it again 😄 of course I didn't watch Super Mario Bros The Movie and saw only that the movie wasn't good and it's nothing interesting. But on the other hand I saw the comments from people who watched this and it was amazing. So I'll watch Super Mario Bros The Movie and then I'll give my expressions of that 😉 And that would be cool if the main plot in Star Fox The Movie is the looking for the Krystal 😉
As to be expected of such Quality production even Krystal's Entry into the Story and Meeting Fox for the First Time is done Far more Justice than what we got in her Adventures Debut. Keep up the good work folks this is Beautiful. Also I Can't be the only one Super Hyped to potentially meet Krystal's Family.
I have to say, I think this meeting is better than the one we got in Star Fox Adventures. I love that game to death, but this blows it out of the water. I can tell this game is shaping up to be all kinds of epic. I'm really hoping that Nintendo allows development of this game to continue, or maybe even provide support to get it finished!
I freaken love the story its so good already and it's still the beginning holy crap Adventures was one of my favorite star fox games and it never got the justice till now❤
You know you did something right when you have viewers almost think this is a future game release or something that people missed but wanted to happen so badly they wish it was real
This was amazing, the fighting and the interaction between Fox and Krystal. The VA was spot on and I can tell that in the future this game will be even more spectacular.
Well i will be saying this. OH MY GOODNESS BY THE KRAZOA'S this is extremely amazingly well made. The Cutscene was amazing, the Action, intense and dynamic. And the Voice Actors, they are super amazing and perfect, and it is indeed a Legendary meeting, How they met. You really outdone yourself, and also Estelle Ellis and KyleRhysMarsh they really did amazing with there Voice Acting is really mighty, it fits so perfectly. And this is likely when the Speed Biker Campaign begins. I do look forward to what happens next. Though all we can do, is wait and see.
I've always had a special place in my heart for Starfox Adventures, and this direction of the story actually is much better than how Rare did it 20 years ago 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Amazing job to the creators and voice actors!! 👍🏻👍🏻
What happened to Fox's Arwing? Did he get Dagobah'd by Randorn? :D Though, when Krystal introduces herself "of the house Randorn, Regent of Sauria", does she mean that her family holds the regency or she personally is acting as regent? Slightly unclear in context, though I imagine the meeting with Randorn and Tricky will clear that up quickly. Either way, great introduction scene showing both of them as capable and setting up their personalities quite well. I hope that there's a scene or at least dialogue implying that they're teaching each other how to use different rides. It's a nice practical touch that can help build the likely relationship, IMO.
Considering the context in the original game. My guess is that she's likely acting as a leader(thus, Regent) while the Prince is too young to truly be a leader himself.
I'll try to summarize a lot of backstory in as short a way as possible. Cerinia had a bunch of planets under their thumbs and Sauria was one of them. Each of their worlds had a house (or family) assigned as a regent, Randorn's was Sauria. Seeing as Cerinia's been gone for awhile Sauria's fallen apart and all the tribes have formed their own monarchies with Randorn trying to hold everything together.
@@moodyowlproductions4287 How much do you wanna bet he's secretly Andross in disguise, and he's gonna pull a last minute plot twist revealing that the true Randorn is dead.
Good work. The part about the "regent of Sauria" is interesting. How can you pretend to be a ruler without people to govern...? Unless, plot twist, there are many cerinian living in isolation on Sauria. Or maybe Krystal is trying to hold to what she know/is considering the Cerinian disappearance. brain in overload = good story approaching. Just excellent work.
@@codemancz798 Yeah I know that, a little while after my comment, IceCreamMan clear some aspects of that point in another thread. He said : "I'll try to summarize a lot of backstory in as short a way as possible. Cerinia had a bunch of planets under their thumbs and Sauria was one of them. Each of their worlds had a house (or family) assigned as a regent, Randorn's was Sauria. Seeing as Cerinia's been gone for awhile Sauria's fallen apart and all the tribes have formed their own monarchies with Randorn trying to hold everything together." So the regency part is about overseeing Sauria, maybe somekind of spatial protectorate.
OH MY GOD ITS HERE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ok for real though, this was fantastic! Awesome, awesome, awesome job Neph, Estelle, Kyle, and everyone else involved! Edit: The Adventures-esque sound effects are a great touch :)
This video makes me wish for a Star Fox Adventures remake, from top to bottom, implementing the scrapped ideas from Dinosaur Planet and preferably with this guy at the helm handling the script and cutscenes.
Marvelous, I'm excited to see more and more. From the expressions, conversations, and interactions. Congratulations to everyone who has obviously put a lot of effort and love into this.
there is so much right about this. if i had to point out one small thing to change, its Fox's teeth with his lips open and a blank gaze at the start looks wrong - Everything else, the sharp claw laughing, The fight scenes, visuals and sound design, and Krystal's more tasteful outfit - the new interactions - it works very well - and its pretty cool that fox finally uses a gun , it sets him apart from krystal and her use of magic which is looking really cool
@@devonm042690 "This mission is about saving the planet, not blowing it up!" was the dumbest excuse for not being allowed to carry weaponry onto the world, I mean seriously a planet full of hostile dinosaurs and other bizarre entities and you just expect your hired merc to survive long enough to get stuff done without weapons.
This is one of the things that I think would've made Adventures a better game - Fox and Krystal fighting the sharpclaws *together,* and with *their own respective weapons.* Rather than Fox doing all the work, with *her* weapon, while she spends most of the game incapacitated.
Wow!! that was awesome!!! Also, for some reason, the Sharpclaw bikers remind me very much of the jet ski-riding Smokers from the Movie "waterworld". For those of you who don't know, "waterworld' is actually a pretty fun movie, it's "mad max" on jet skis. how can that not be awesome?
@@UndyingNephalim Oh! well hello there. I'm not sure if this would be considered rude, but, did you like my concept for a "deep sea nightmare fuel" level on aquas, and for an "artillery crawler" boss battle? I posted it in the "Community tab of your channel. I would be thrilled if you use it, but I understand if you don't.
This is masterfully done! The animation is so smooth throughout the entire video, the facial expressions really shine through and the banter between Fox and Krystal feels so natural, much more than in Starfox Adventures. Also always a pleasure to hear Estelle as Krystal, looking forward to seeing more of this in the future!
It's a shame Nintendo will never give us Star Fox cutscenes like this. I don't know why they're afraid to give the characters time to talk and develop personalities and relationships. Are they worried we'll get bored by an actually engaging story?
And the simple fact that Miyamoto himself (and most of Nintendo) hates making anything-more-than-simple stories. Heck, they hate them so much, Miyamoto almost removed Rosalina's Storybook from Mario Galaxy!
Honestly smart move if that's the case. Star Fox was always inspired by scifi movies and shows like Star wars, Star trek, and independents day. So this is perfectly in line with starfox
I like this a lot better than how they met in the original. Also like what you did with Krystal's outfit. I always felt her original look was too showy (and yes, saying that as a straight guy, for the record), and the other looks somehow didn't seem true to her roots, but you've hit a pretty good middle ground here. Also, loving the Star Wars vibes.
Its a nice thought but i think the Freespace 2 engine is already being pushed to its limit and maybe even beyond given that it designed for space combat in a 3d environment
@IceCreamMan If you ever do one with Marcus, I'd imagine this scene you did would be a Great Story to tell their son on how they met. LOL But seriously this was very well put together. as was everything you did with the Star Fox: Event Horizon
Star Fox Adventures was one of my first Game Cube games and one of the first games I 100. It has its problems, no doubt due to the last-minute change to add Star Fox, but it holds a special place in my heart and had a fun world. I loved the attention to detail from the environment, the GrubTubs, the noises, and the effects. This was a nostalgia trip for me.
This project has come quite a long way. From the barely-visible dialogue and crude bosses of the first iteration, to more faithful incarnations of the worlds and battles of the present version, to a mostly-talking cutscene between Fox and Andross...to THIS. While I would have preferred Krystal's dress to be a more silver-white material, similar in hue to her original garments (though I approve of the more practical coverage), her demeanor and badassery are a more welcome change compared to her original role in Star Fox Adventures. If anything, she makes me think of Kida from Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and that woman was pure awesome. The way she wielded the power of her staff is proof that if anything, Fox was merely able to tap into a fraction of its potential. Also..."head of the house McCloud?" Is Fox descended from a noble family, now? I always figured he was a military kid, taking after his old man before they both went freelance. P.S. The Sharpclaw clearly graduated from the same marksmanship academy as the Empire's stormtroopers, I see. XD
The 'head of house McCloud' thing is probably the result of a cultural gap. It seems a fair assumption that Krystal's people follow some customs we would consider archaic, or even tribal. Krystal said her father was summoning 'a mighty warrior', so it would make sense for her to speak of him as if he was part of a warrior caste. The warriors would be the protectors, and would be a lineage such cultures had a strong interest in promoting the growth and maintenance of, part of which is keeping track of who's in it. Not unlike the roots of noble families of old, who are granted titles and land and such from their sovereign as rewards for notable services rendered for the dominion.
Ah, hello fellow "atlantis the lost empire" fan! yep, Kida was awesome. Makes me want General Scales to act like Rourke, in other words, a total jerk. Also, like I said in that other comment, the Sharpclaw bikers remind me greatly of the Smokers from "waterworld" especially early in the film, and yes they were terrible shots, presumably they were still learning to handle the recoil of the new weapons andross had given them.
@@monitorlizardkid8253 Given the setting, I'd expect Scales to act more like a Conan villain or something. Now, Colonel Shears? HE'S the one most likely to take the role of Rourke, seeking to exploit any hidden treasure on Sauria for a profit while turning the planet into his own personal fiefdom, with Scales as his proxy. As for whether Shears is the ultimate man behind the man for Shears, or if Andross will be making a comeback in this version of events...that remains to be seen!
Never really was able to get into Star Fox as a kid, but as an adult I'm pretty excited to see how good Event Horizon will end up being! Keep up the good work everyone!
@@moodyowlproductions4287 Maybe. Depends on how much traction Event Horizion gets outside of the niche audience. I'd also say something about Nintendo not giving an eff about the property so it might not even matter... but this IS Nintendo we're talking about here.
@@AlexanderTheAverage10 Lets also remember AM2R, the fan remake of Metroid 2, Nintendo didn't do anything until the game was fully released then they told its dev to shut it down. So it may be that they are aware of the project and are willing to let it be completed and gain some traction before they shut it down.
@@trevargrisham35 Oof. I did NOT know about that, but I'm not surprised given their reputation. Eugh... I see the likely outcome, but I'm still holding onto that glimmer of hope that this one slides under the radar.
@@AlexanderTheAverage10 AM2R was made by one guy and took nearly a decade to finish before releasing back in 2016, SF-Event Horizon started development back in 2014, and now it is 2023. My best guess is that Nintendo will look the other way until the project is finished, they'll let the project gain some publicity after release, and then they will file a CnD order to the dev team. But by that point it won't matter, what goes on the internet stays on the Internet whether Nintendo likes it or not.
This was Amazing this is what star fox adventure should have been, and I love the fully restored original Krystal of what she should have been while Nintendo basically discarded her to just being a slave leia princess, I admit I fell for the trick in my youth but this is way better
@@ElFreakinCid not only that, she choked him to death with the slave chain, pretty badass if you ask me, but he does have a point though the reason for Krystal's shafted role in the final game was due to most of the content being cut so she didn't have much of a chance.
Hey as long as you don't turn Fox into an edgelord with a false understanding of PTSD like some people try to write him, i'll say you're doing a pretty good work here. And aramisdagaz9 hit the nail right on the head.
Quite oddly different from StarFox Adventures but more better. Wondering how their love relationship would be after defeating the Dark Krazoa God/Andross? (and sorry for the villain spoiler...) Drakor "Heads up, old friend! You're going to have some disturbing company!" Dark Krazoa God/Andross "The son of my old friend is coming to the rescue. Let's see how you progress with the Cerinians, young McCloud..."
*Loving this!* It's absolutely wonderful to hear Ms. Ellis come back after so long, as her voice is as lovely as ever. One question/worry though: Why are Fox and Krystal's eyes a little bloodshot? Tbh, it's distracting and, in a way, kinda disturbing. If you could, please fix that. Other than that, I'm very excited for what's on the way!
Overall, this is fantastic. I like the touch that she does not like he just immediately goes to "Can I call you Krystal", to stand her royal ground to then immediately go to "Oh the hell with this mess, sure, call me whatever. I have more pressing matters". And later the whole going from military royal captain to... "Hey... this guy is not so bad and speeding through the woods, actually feels amazing". That was splendid! I'm particularly impressed with the tension with their standoff and the defusal into "we are on the same side". That is some fantastic story telling. Points of critique: - The eye textures are really distracting. Yes, that is how an eye looks up close, especially if you have been through some stuff and the blood vessels get more pronounced. But.... please maybe tone it down... a little. - I like that misses femme fatal is such a bad ass, but it felt a bit dense how she reacted to "he is gone". No empathy no straight demands just... Complete ignorance. The sentence "What do you mean gone?" like she can not believe it, but she either has to be appear more angry to emphasize on the fact this thwarts her expectations or... maybe some sympathy towards the messenger. Her herald, is this guys dad and he gave that information away after risking life and limb to get there. - The kinetics of the scene where she freezes the dino is just... wrong. Unless you really like the David Cameron approach, I suggest; The chaos and the shaking is justifiably there, because she did not see the dino coming, so her falling back and arresting his movement and lifting him up works great with the shaky cam. After that, you need to convey the transition of her taking control of the situation and excerting effort to freeze him. Experiment with replacing the shaking their with a slight pan to the left and either a zoom in or zoom out. Maybe a slight shake and then a full stop as he turns to ice. You can convey emotion with camera movement, show the audience she just turned a near dead in to a literal obliterating victory and the amount of effort it took her to do it. - I do not like her expression when standing on top of the rock. Mainly because I just can not figure out what the hell her plan is. She MUST be smart enough to not think "Ill just subjugate these" or "Ill just obliterate these fools on my Saterday morning stroll". So... what's the story? Why did she put herself in the open? - After her initial attack, she almost succumbs to the counter fire. Is she surprised? Did she underestimate the situation? Is she suicidal? Not completely sold on her model. To me the snout feels a bit to narrow. And maybe consider just mounting her headband ornament to her head (rigging as on to the model) it is cool that it can jiggle with the physics, but it looks awful and distracting (I'm going to assume it will take considerable work to make it look good for very little gain). Besides no one would accept wearing something that physically fickle just above their eyes. Normally those things are double band and have two thin wires that make it more rigid and fit perfectly around the head. The only way to make it feel acceptable if you wear it all the time and not tap you on the head with every upward motion when you nod, jump or even descent the stairs or cut you with the beads of the jewelry when you really swing around. It basically sits like a crown made precisely to fit the shape of your head... And she IS a royal, she has the money and means to let it be made like that. Love her dress! It looks pretty, practical and her original skimpy tribal attire... Is entirely distracting, at least to me. Foxes model does not have me completely convinced, but it is good. En fits with the rest of the esthetics of the video. If I really dig deep, he could use some more vibrant color, but... then you have to touch up almost everything else up too... So... maybe not. Excellent movements, his military bearing and decision making comes through his motions. If you want to turn it to eleven... Do something with the fact that he normally does not walk in 1G, he is a space man with metal legs. I definitely do not mean, make him stumble, but something like doing some more over exerting effort to compensate. He went from 0G circumstances were the legs are purely a means to control his ship into a means of propulsion on land with "normal earth gravity" (no idea what the gravity on this planet is). It subtle, but will definitively make him stand out as Fox McCloud leader of the elite Star Fox team and captain of star ship Great Fox. But all in all, I am really impressed. Good job.
I think there is a reason why the Sharpclaw's aim stinks: Fox says later in the mission that they do not understand the tech they've been given. Perhaps that's why. Anyways, oh. My. Gosh. This is great. I guess Fox being a little sour about mentioning the fate of his father is a coping mechanism.
Every scene keeps getting better and better the more I see, dude. This is great stuff

Rare actually had to cut a lot of stuff to save time. If they hadn't, Krystal and Fox's meeting and her falling for him wouldn't have been as abrupt.
@@ElFreakinCid Understatement of the century right there.
They do that in the Re Adventures comic too.
Its always such a treat to see Estelle embracing her old role as Krystal in fan animations
This was great! The Sharpclaws were their fun goofy jobber selves, Krystal was making full use of her staff, and both Estelle and Kyle voiced their conversation enthusiastically!
Even it's a fan made game it looks amazing 🤩
This is a much better starting point for their relationship, meeting as equals in different ways, none of that forced damsel in distress bullshit from her rewrite for Adventures. Looking forward to where this goes
I like how much the cutscenes have improved. Krystal’s tiara flapping in the wind was a great touch.
The detail in their eyes as they stare at each other.
The look of exhilaration and joy on Krystal's face as she rides a vehicle for the first time.
The way the fire outlines her during the standoff.
There were so many details you didn't need to put in, but went the distance to include regardless. Well done!
So honoured to be part of this. 😁
You did and are doing awesome work dude!
Yeah pretty good.
Amazing job as Fox. 👍👍👍
Impressive work @TheRealSuperMarioBros
Impressive! Yeah, this is a much more realistic start to Fox and Krystal's relationship. I really like this far-more-believable portrayal of the characters (as much as I like Krystal's original outfit). I'm excited to see where this project goes.
So emotive fight to even aboard the bike. That's the kind of charm I'm digging this project
General pepper"you can't bring your blaster with you Fox" Fox Mccloud"noooooo"
Every time I see that scene I just expect Fox to say "General, that is the dumbest order you could possibly give, you expect me to survive here on a dinosaur ruled planet with no weapons, long enough to carry out my mission".
@@trevargrisham35 Agreed.
This is awesome!! I feel like if this was the direction Star Fox Adventures originally took, maybe the game wouldn't have turned out to be so polarizing.
It wasn't polarizing, actually, it only retroactively became that around 2011 or so.
I wouldn't say that polarization was the issue, the issue was Miyamoto sticking his nose where it didn't belong and forcing Star Fox into a game that should have been its own thing.
@@shadekerensky3691 To be fair, Dinosaur Planet was slated to come out near the end of the N64's lifespan, and development wouldn't have finished in time.
@@h0m3st4r actually, the game was mostly finished and ready to go by the time the decision to force Star Fox into the mix was made. I suppose it is irrelevant now seeing as we now have access to the Dinosaur Planet game and we can see what was meant to be, its such a surreal experience, for over 20 years it sat in a vault, but finally it sees the light of day.
2:15 The last Sharpclaw firing wildly at Fox: “Die! Die! Die! Why Won’t You Die?!”
Nicely in-character for a Sharpclaw Grunt. He’s smart enough to know how to fire his weapon, but he’s too stupid to understand that his target isn’t dying because his shots are missing.
🦊 “From now on, you are to refer to me as ‘Idiot’, NOT ‘You Captain’! Wait a minute…!”
Woah, truly I feel like being in cinema and watching Star Fox The Movie :D
Fantastic job :D
Now that you mention it, due to the recent overwhelming box office success of the Super Mario Bros movie by Universal Studios and Illumination, I can honestly see illumination make a Star Fox movie, which would be a dream come true.👍
And obviously, if that were to happen, I would not want the movie to be set in the Lylat wars. Because as important as the story during the war was, that story has been told multiple times in more than half of the games ever released including the original 1993 game, Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3d, and Star Fox Zero.
Instead, I want this movie to be set some time after the Lylat Wars with Fox narrating everything that happened during that time in the intro of the film, and pretty much go in it’s own story with really good writers to keep the plot and narrative fresh and engaging for Star Fox fans.
And of course, it would be an absolute dream if Krystal got put in that film as well. Whether she would be reprised by Estelle Ellis or not, just seeing her again after her disappearance from the franchise since 2005 would put an absolute big smile on my face.👍
While the Mario Bros movie’s plot is simple, just them listening to the fans is what kept people coming back to see the movie. And I have faith with this success, Nintendo and Universal will hire really talented writers to tell really good stories and narratives for future Nintendo films that isn’t Mario. Star Fox can obviously be one of those examples.
Disney tried something like that with Lightyear (2022), but we all know how it went down.
Within time, even if it’s likely years, I can only hope that they make a Star Fox movie that not only takes the story in its own direction while also keeping it familiar to fans with the Lylat Wars already previously happened before the events of the film, but also have really talented writers that can keep that said story not only engaging, but also fresh & new to fans.👍
@@nicholasjames8689 sounds very good 😁 lets hope that Nintendo will do it again 😄 of course I didn't watch Super Mario Bros The Movie and saw only that the movie wasn't good and it's nothing interesting. But on the other hand I saw the comments from people who watched this and it was amazing. So I'll watch Super Mario Bros The Movie and then I'll give my expressions of that 😉
And that would be cool if the main plot in Star Fox The Movie is the looking for the Krystal 😉
Cant wait till we get to the Assault Timeline
if we do then the I can't wait to se what the aperoids look like
also I might have spelled that wrong
As to be expected of such Quality production even Krystal's Entry into the Story and Meeting Fox for the First Time is done Far more Justice than what we got in her Adventures Debut.
Keep up the good work folks this is Beautiful.
Also I Can't be the only one Super Hyped to potentially meet Krystal's Family.
God I love Star Fox Adventures so much. This means the world to me. Keep it up!
I have to say, I think this meeting is better than the one we got in Star Fox Adventures. I love that game to death, but this blows it out of the water. I can tell this game is shaping up to be all kinds of epic. I'm really hoping that Nintendo allows development of this game to continue, or maybe even provide support to get it finished!
I was NOT expecting to see the GrubTub fungi lmao
It's beautiful! You know it's going to be a great day when you wake up and see such a work of art.
I freaken love the story its so good already and it's still the beginning holy crap
Adventures was one of my favorite star fox games and it never got the justice till now❤
You know you did something right when you have viewers almost think this is a future game release or something that people missed but wanted to happen so badly they wish it was real
This was amazing, the fighting and the interaction between Fox and Krystal. The VA was spot on and I can tell that in the future this game will be even more spectacular.
Well i will be saying this. OH MY GOODNESS BY THE KRAZOA'S this is extremely amazingly well made. The Cutscene was amazing, the Action, intense and dynamic. And the Voice Actors, they are super amazing and perfect, and it is indeed a Legendary meeting, How they met. You really outdone yourself, and also Estelle Ellis and KyleRhysMarsh they really did amazing with there Voice Acting is really mighty, it fits so perfectly. And this is likely when the Speed Biker Campaign begins. I do look forward to what happens next. Though all we can do, is wait and see.
This is so a Magnificent Fan made Scene.
These dinos make stormtroopers look like sharpshooters.
Of course they're missing, they got no depth perception.
"Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."
This was so, so worth the four weeks between the last video and this. Absolutely stunning, and I cannot wait to see more from you.
This looks so good!
Loved every second of it.
Krystals expressions at the end were cute. >
Maybe an "actual" duel between Fox and General Scales.
The tributes to SF Adventures (my childhood game) in this video are insane!
Estelle Ellis's voice is gorgeous. I liked it when I was a teen, and now as an adult.
Dude, this cutscene rocks! A solid 5 minutes of awesome sauce!
I've always had a special place in my heart for Starfox Adventures, and this direction of the story actually is much better than how Rare did it 20 years ago 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Amazing job to the creators and voice actors!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Bikers from Sauria. 😄
I liked the choice of clothing for Krystal that is very reminiscent of her original model in the proposed original game.
What happened to Fox's Arwing? Did he get Dagobah'd by Randorn? :D
Though, when Krystal introduces herself "of the house Randorn, Regent of Sauria", does she mean that her family holds the regency or she personally is acting as regent? Slightly unclear in context, though I imagine the meeting with Randorn and Tricky will clear that up quickly.
Either way, great introduction scene showing both of them as capable and setting up their personalities quite well. I hope that there's a scene or at least dialogue implying that they're teaching each other how to use different rides. It's a nice practical touch that can help build the likely relationship, IMO.
Considering the context in the original game. My guess is that she's likely acting as a leader(thus, Regent) while the Prince is too young to truly be a leader himself.
I'll try to summarize a lot of backstory in as short a way as possible. Cerinia had a bunch of planets under their thumbs and Sauria was one of them. Each of their worlds had a house (or family) assigned as a regent, Randorn's was Sauria. Seeing as Cerinia's been gone for awhile Sauria's fallen apart and all the tribes have formed their own monarchies with Randorn trying to hold everything together.
I do not trust this Randorn
@@moodyowlproductions4287 How much do you wanna bet he's secretly Andross in disguise, and he's gonna pull a last minute plot twist revealing that the true Randorn is dead.
After watching a more recent video, an emp forced Fox to crash land on the planet.
Good work.
The part about the "regent of Sauria" is interesting. How can you pretend to be a ruler without people to govern...? Unless, plot twist, there are many cerinian living in isolation on Sauria.
Or maybe Krystal is trying to hold to what she know/is considering the Cerinian disappearance.
brain in overload = good story approaching.
Just excellent work.
Regent doesn't really mean ruler, it's someone who takes care of estates while the proper ruler is indisposed or not of age.
@@codemancz798 Yeah I know that, a little while after my comment, IceCreamMan clear some aspects of that point in another thread. He said :
"I'll try to summarize a lot of backstory in as short a way as possible. Cerinia had a bunch of planets under their thumbs and Sauria was one of them. Each of their worlds had a house (or family) assigned as a regent, Randorn's was Sauria. Seeing as Cerinia's been gone for awhile Sauria's fallen apart and all the tribes have formed their own monarchies with Randorn trying to hold everything together."
So the regency part is about overseeing Sauria, maybe somekind of spatial protectorate.
OH MY GOD ITS HERE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok for real though, this was fantastic! Awesome, awesome, awesome job Neph, Estelle, Kyle, and everyone else involved!
Edit: The Adventures-esque sound effects are a great touch :)
This is how the game should have started … this is amazing !!! Love how you got Estelle on board too 💓
This video makes me wish for a Star Fox Adventures remake, from top to bottom, implementing the scrapped ideas from Dinosaur Planet and preferably with this guy at the helm handling the script and cutscenes.
0:06
Fox’s Mind: Not again… Peppy’s gonna kill me…
Marvelous, I'm excited to see more and more. From the expressions, conversations, and interactions. Congratulations to everyone who has obviously put a lot of effort and love into this.
there is so much right about this. if i had to point out one small thing to change, its Fox's teeth with his lips open and a blank gaze at the start looks wrong -
Everything else, the sharp claw laughing, The fight scenes, visuals and sound design, and Krystal's more tasteful outfit - the new interactions - it works very well - and its pretty cool that fox finally uses a gun , it sets him apart from krystal and her use of magic which is looking really cool
Since this isn't a mission from General Pepper, but rather a situation Fox has suddenly found himself in, Pepper isn't calling the shots.
@@devonm042690 "This mission is about saving the planet, not blowing it up!" was the dumbest excuse for not being allowed to carry weaponry onto the world, I mean seriously a planet full of hostile dinosaurs and other bizarre entities and you just expect your hired merc to survive long enough to get stuff done without weapons.
@@trevargrisham35agreed sometimes I think that was a bad excuse
@@benjaminheavysteel Pepper literally told Fox to go into a planet scaled version of Jurassic Park with no weapons and said "deal with it".
That was actually stupendously done! Great work 🎉
This is one of the things that I think would've made Adventures a better game - Fox and Krystal fighting the sharpclaws *together,* and with *their own respective weapons.* Rather than Fox doing all the work, with *her* weapon, while she spends most of the game incapacitated.
Awesome job! Love it!
Wow!! that was awesome!!! Also, for some reason, the Sharpclaw bikers remind me very much of the jet ski-riding Smokers from the Movie "waterworld". For those of you who don't know, "waterworld' is actually a pretty fun movie, it's "mad max" on jet skis. how can that not be awesome?
I watched a lot of Mad Max when making Sharpclaw stuff so that all adds up.
@@UndyingNephalim Oh! well hello there. I'm not sure if this would be considered rude, but, did you like my concept for a "deep sea nightmare fuel" level on aquas, and for an "artillery crawler" boss battle? I posted it in the "Community tab of your channel. I would be thrilled if you use it, but I understand if you don't.
Love how Krystal is using a combination of her original design and final design for this!
Loved this.^^ And as Aramis said, love how the spark isn't immediate, but at the same time, glad there's still hints of it as well.
This is masterfully done! The animation is so smooth throughout the entire video, the facial expressions really shine through and the banter between Fox and Krystal feels so natural, much more than in Starfox Adventures. Also always a pleasure to hear Estelle as Krystal, looking forward to seeing more of this in the future!
This is the Star Fox game I want!
It's a shame Nintendo will never give us Star Fox cutscenes like this. I don't know why they're afraid to give the characters time to talk and develop personalities and relationships. Are they worried we'll get bored by an actually engaging story?
They're scared of angering the overly obsessed Star Fox 64 fanboys who won't accept anything but remake after remake of that game.
@@ElFreakinCid That and they have no idea what to really do with the franchise, which is something that can be applied to a lot of their franchises.
@@ElFreakinCidAnd the fact that they're too scared is exactly why Starfox Zero failed.
And the simple fact that Miyamoto himself (and most of Nintendo) hates making anything-more-than-simple stories. Heck, they hate them so much, Miyamoto almost removed Rosalina's Storybook from Mario Galaxy!
Istg this feels more like a movie than a game and it's so hype
More I see of this the more I like it
Yo, I love that used a bunch of the sound effects from Adventures! Also, this is such a good animation and the voice acting is great as always!
The plot takes me back to 2009 when Jake Sully was rescued by Neytiri. Really some similarities with Avatar 😅
Honestly smart move if that's the case. Star Fox was always inspired by scifi movies and shows like Star wars, Star trek, and independents day. So this is perfectly in line with starfox
Beautiful job with everything!
Fox sounds like mid 2000's Sonic the Hedgehog.
You're too slow, Sharpclaw!
I like this a lot better than how they met in the original. Also like what you did with Krystal's outfit. I always felt her original look was too showy (and yes, saying that as a straight guy, for the record), and the other looks somehow didn't seem true to her roots, but you've hit a pretty good middle ground here.
Also, loving the Star Wars vibes.
I hope we eventually get some ground levels where we can run around as characters like in adventures and assault
Its a nice thought but i think the Freespace 2 engine is already being pushed to its limit and maybe even beyond given that it designed for space combat in a 3d environment
Closest we'll get is riding Tricky or a Hoverbike, the engine is already pushed pretty far.
My desire to play this grows with each update I watch.
A masterpiece :3. Well done. Can't wait till this game is finished. Would love to play it someday :3 .
I really like the interaction between the 2! I'm glad that a couple voice actors came back just for this game!
@IceCreamMan
If you ever do one with Marcus, I'd imagine this scene you did would be a Great Story to tell their son on how they met. LOL
But seriously this was very well put together. as was everything you did with the Star Fox: Event Horizon
Star Fox Adventures was one of my first Game Cube games and one of the first games I 100. It has its problems, no doubt due to the last-minute change to add Star Fox, but it holds a special place in my heart and had a fun world. I loved the attention to detail from the environment, the GrubTubs, the noises, and the effects. This was a nostalgia trip for me.
This is how you modernized star fox good work 👍
This version of fox and krystal reminds me of starlord and gamora
This is super well done and sounds and looked very in character from what I understand.
Cool. Very impressive video. 🙂😊👍
This project has come quite a long way. From the barely-visible dialogue and crude bosses of the first iteration, to more faithful incarnations of the worlds and battles of the present version, to a mostly-talking cutscene between Fox and Andross...to THIS.
While I would have preferred Krystal's dress to be a more silver-white material, similar in hue to her original garments (though I approve of the more practical coverage), her demeanor and badassery are a more welcome change compared to her original role in Star Fox Adventures. If anything, she makes me think of Kida from Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and that woman was pure awesome. The way she wielded the power of her staff is proof that if anything, Fox was merely able to tap into a fraction of its potential.
Also..."head of the house McCloud?" Is Fox descended from a noble family, now? I always figured he was a military kid, taking after his old man before they both went freelance.
P.S. The Sharpclaw clearly graduated from the same marksmanship academy as the Empire's stormtroopers, I see. XD
The 'head of house McCloud' thing is probably the result of a cultural gap. It seems a fair assumption that Krystal's people follow some customs we would consider archaic, or even tribal. Krystal said her father was summoning 'a mighty warrior', so it would make sense for her to speak of him as if he was part of a warrior caste. The warriors would be the protectors, and would be a lineage such cultures had a strong interest in promoting the growth and maintenance of, part of which is keeping track of who's in it. Not unlike the roots of noble families of old, who are granted titles and land and such from their sovereign as rewards for notable services rendered for the dominion.
Ah, hello fellow "atlantis the lost empire" fan! yep, Kida was awesome. Makes me want General Scales to act like Rourke, in other words, a total jerk. Also, like I said in that other comment, the Sharpclaw bikers remind me greatly of the Smokers from "waterworld" especially early in the film, and yes they were terrible shots, presumably they were still learning to handle the recoil of the new weapons andross had given them.
@@monitorlizardkid8253 Given the setting, I'd expect Scales to act more like a Conan villain or something. Now, Colonel Shears? HE'S the one most likely to take the role of Rourke, seeking to exploit any hidden treasure on Sauria for a profit while turning the planet into his own personal fiefdom, with Scales as his proxy.
As for whether Shears is the ultimate man behind the man for Shears, or if Andross will be making a comeback in this version of events...that remains to be seen!
@@devonm042690 Hmmm...huh. Oh, yeah, Krystal making such assumptions WOULD make more sense, wouldn't it?
@@LonePhantom756 You make good points, At least I hope Andross makes a comeback for one last go...
Fox needs a deeper voice 💀
Never really was able to get into Star Fox as a kid, but as an adult I'm pretty excited to see how good Event Horizon will end up being! Keep up the good work everyone!
Yeah it will probably get shut down by Nintendo before it ever get made in full... enjoy it while it lasts
@@moodyowlproductions4287 Maybe. Depends on how much traction Event Horizion gets outside of the niche audience. I'd also say something about Nintendo not giving an eff about the property so it might not even matter... but this IS Nintendo we're talking about here.
@@AlexanderTheAverage10 Lets also remember AM2R, the fan remake of Metroid 2, Nintendo didn't do anything until the game was fully released then they told its dev to shut it down. So it may be that they are aware of the project and are willing to let it be completed and gain some traction before they shut it down.
@@trevargrisham35 Oof. I did NOT know about that, but I'm not surprised given their reputation. Eugh... I see the likely outcome, but I'm still holding onto that glimmer of hope that this one slides under the radar.
@@AlexanderTheAverage10 AM2R was made by one guy and took nearly a decade to finish before releasing back in 2016, SF-Event Horizon started development back in 2014, and now it is 2023. My best guess is that Nintendo will look the other way until the project is finished, they'll let the project gain some publicity after release, and then they will file a CnD order to the dev team. But by that point it won't matter, what goes on the internet stays on the Internet whether Nintendo likes it or not.
I love this, the voices are fantastic and visuals are amazing. I wish you guys the best for this project.
Love the added humor 4:06.
This was Amazing this is what star fox adventure should have been, and I love the fully restored original Krystal of what she should have been while Nintendo basically discarded her to just being a slave leia princess, I admit I fell for the trick in my youth but this is way better
You do know Leia killed Jabba singlehandedly while wearing the slave outfit, right?
@@ElFreakinCid not only that, she choked him to death with the slave chain, pretty badass if you ask me, but he does have a point though the reason for Krystal's shafted role in the final game was due to most of the content being cut so she didn't have much of a chance.
This is very cool! ^^ Looking like Stargate Atlantis))
Hey as long as you don't turn Fox into an edgelord with a false understanding of PTSD like some people try to write him, i'll say you're doing a pretty good work here. And aramisdagaz9 hit the nail right on the head.
Oh yeah. That comic. So far, Fox seems alright here.
Well that's one way to great each other. I can't wait to see the reaction on Randorn's face when he meets James's son and not James himself.
I love the voice acting and animation
Thank you ! I loved this Game .
This is more great than the official one. Good job 👏. Keep it up.
Quite oddly different from StarFox Adventures but more better. Wondering how their love relationship would be after defeating the Dark Krazoa God/Andross? (and sorry for the villain spoiler...)
Drakor "Heads up, old friend! You're going to have some disturbing company!"
Dark Krazoa God/Andross "The son of my old friend is coming to the rescue. Let's see how you progress with the Cerinians, young McCloud..."
*Loving this!* It's absolutely wonderful to hear Ms. Ellis come back after so long, as her voice is as lovely as ever.
One question/worry though: Why are Fox and Krystal's eyes a little bloodshot? Tbh, it's distracting and, in a way, kinda disturbing. If you could, please fix that.
Other than that, I'm very excited for what's on the way!
Eyes get bloodshot if you're in a particularly stressful environment.
@@codemancz798 especially if you just lost an expensive Ar-wing,
Very impressive! I almost thought there wasn't gonna be any talking but I was wrong😂
Absolutely lovely job on this. Love this meeting much more than Adventures for sure. Its a little rough around the edges but still, excellentvwork
Coming out good.
4:34 I'd recognize that epic NFL Films music anywhere 😄
Overall, this is fantastic.
I like the touch that she does not like he just immediately goes to "Can I call you Krystal", to stand her royal ground to then immediately go to "Oh the hell with this mess, sure, call me whatever. I have more pressing matters".
And later the whole going from military royal captain to... "Hey... this guy is not so bad and speeding through the woods, actually feels amazing". That was splendid!
I'm particularly impressed with the tension with their standoff and the defusal into "we are on the same side". That is some fantastic story telling.
Points of critique:
- The eye textures are really distracting. Yes, that is how an eye looks up close, especially if you have been through some stuff and the blood vessels get more pronounced. But.... please maybe tone it down... a little.
- I like that misses femme fatal is such a bad ass, but it felt a bit dense how she reacted to "he is gone". No empathy no straight demands just... Complete ignorance. The sentence "What do you mean gone?" like she can not believe it, but she either has to be appear more angry to emphasize on the fact this thwarts her expectations or... maybe some sympathy towards the messenger. Her herald, is this guys dad and he gave that information away after risking life and limb to get there.
- The kinetics of the scene where she freezes the dino is just... wrong. Unless you really like the David Cameron approach, I suggest;
The chaos and the shaking is justifiably there, because she did not see the dino coming, so her falling back and arresting his movement and lifting him up works great with the shaky cam. After that, you need to convey the transition of her taking control of the situation and excerting effort to freeze him. Experiment with replacing the shaking their with a slight pan to the left and either a zoom in or zoom out. Maybe a slight shake and then a full stop as he turns to ice. You can convey emotion with camera movement, show the audience she just turned a near dead in to a literal obliterating victory and the amount of effort it took her to do it.
- I do not like her expression when standing on top of the rock. Mainly because I just can not figure out what the hell her plan is. She MUST be smart enough to not think "Ill just subjugate these" or "Ill just obliterate these fools on my Saterday morning stroll". So... what's the story? Why did she put herself in the open?
- After her initial attack, she almost succumbs to the counter fire. Is she surprised? Did she underestimate the situation? Is she suicidal?
Not completely sold on her model. To me the snout feels a bit to narrow. And maybe consider just mounting her headband ornament to her head (rigging as on to the model) it is cool that it can jiggle with the physics, but it looks awful and distracting (I'm going to assume it will take considerable work to make it look good for very little gain).
Besides no one would accept wearing something that physically fickle just above their eyes. Normally those things are double band and have two thin wires that make it more rigid and fit perfectly around the head. The only way to make it feel acceptable if you wear it all the time and not tap you on the head with every upward motion when you nod, jump or even descent the stairs or cut you with the beads of the jewelry when you really swing around. It basically sits like a crown made precisely to fit the shape of your head... And she IS a royal, she has the money and means to let it be made like that.
Love her dress! It looks pretty, practical and her original skimpy tribal attire... Is entirely distracting, at least to me.
Foxes model does not have me completely convinced, but it is good. En fits with the rest of the esthetics of the video. If I really dig deep, he could use some more vibrant color, but... then you have to touch up almost everything else up too... So... maybe not.
Excellent movements, his military bearing and decision making comes through his motions.
If you want to turn it to eleven... Do something with the fact that he normally does not walk in 1G, he is a space man with metal legs. I definitely do not mean, make him stumble, but something like doing some more over exerting effort to compensate. He went from 0G circumstances were the legs are purely a means to control his ship into a means of propulsion on land with "normal earth gravity" (no idea what the gravity on this planet is). It subtle, but will definitively make him stand out as Fox McCloud leader of the elite Star Fox team and captain of star ship Great Fox.
But all in all, I am really impressed.
Good job.
I think there is a reason why the Sharpclaw's aim stinks: Fox says later in the mission that they do not understand the tech they've been given. Perhaps that's why. Anyways, oh. My. Gosh. This is great. I guess Fox being a little sour about mentioning the fate of his father is a coping mechanism.
A cutscene nice
That staff always remind me with staff from stargate, lol
0:13
Yeah he was going to probably contact his team
If it didn’t break in the first place
First impressions are always important.
Wow, you've even included the Grubtub Fungus
