  • Before leaving Nintendo, Rare developed one final game for the company. A game that would be hated by most upon release.
    Now over 20 years later, I'll be taking a retrospective look at a GameCube classic I've loved since I was a kid... Star Fox Adventures!

      @@JJ_5289 This is because Nintendo in House can't making everything anymore like in the 90's, now they need third parties to make certain games.
      For example Takao Shimizu the director of Starfox 64, was the producer of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Mario Galaxy. This explains why Nintendo was able to do a good job with that game. However it means that Nintendo needed Namco to make Assault.

    It's so refreshing to hear people talk positively about this game. I think the reason the game was disliked isn't bcuz it was bad but bcuz they weren't ready for something different such as Fox being on foot investigating etc. Adventures isn't a bad game whatsoever ever people are just blinded by Star Fox 64 nostalgia

    • @danielramsey6141
      @danielramsey6141 9 месяцев назад +3

      This is true. But at the same time you have to member that players in this fandom were expecting the next game to be a seamless evolution of 64, where we would continue onto a different war with a story campaign and conflict still centered on Rail Shooting.
      Dinosaur Planet could’ve easily been a Starfox Spinoff Series! Something that could’ve had a tangential connection while continuing its own story.
      But Miyamoto (and the rest of Nintendo) completely ruined Rare by forcing them to make this game on the GameCube, which was new hardware and unknown territory for Rare!
      They had to Scrap ALOT of their original plans due to how limited they were on time and frustrating it was to program!
      That’s why Fox is running through both his own and Krystal’s campaign! That’s why everything feels Slapdash and incomplete. Because it is, and the game is unfulfilling because of Miyamoto’s grievous miscalculation!

      @@danielramsey6141 the thing about Star Fox is they're not in the army/military...they're mercenaries meaning they take on jobs for money. The original Star Fox story is they were on foot adventurers who fought with guns, hand to hand etc. And the reason why they got their Arwings was bcuz they were the best pilots and Pepper needed them for The Lylat Wars. Adventures is probably the most Star Fox game out of all the Star Fox games. Fox was chilling looking for work, Pepper offered him a job and Fox took it for money. Lylat Wars and Assault Star Fox just did their part to help in the war. In fact I don't even think Fox was paid in Assault bcuz Pepper didn't hire him.

      Well more accurately there wasn't a reason to switch to a different genre. The first game well and 64 did even better, so it only made sense to make another one but more just like mario and zelda. But now that time has mostly past and the series needs to find a new path and stick with it.

    Some clarification on this game's development. Some former Rare employees that worked on Star Fox Adventures and its N64 incarnation Dinosaur Planet said they weren't forced to readjust it to be part of that series. Miyamoto had been visiting Rare's office to see the latest build of Dinosaur Planet and noted how similar Saber, the male wolf that shared the protagonist role with Krystal, looked and sounded very similar to Fox McCloud. At the time, Miyamoto and Imamura had also been planning the next entry in the Star Fox series in which they wanted it to have a more action adventure approach outside the cockpit.
    The heads of Rare took Miyamoto up on the idea, believing attaching their new world and story to a popular series like Star Fox would garner more success than if it was just a standalone entry.
    That's not to say the decision ended up benefiting the game overall. The transition from N64 to Gamecube meant most of the game had to be redone and Microsoft's buyout of Rare forced them to cut almost all the original story and levels they originally had planned. Even Krystal was almost removed from the game until Miyamoto told them to keep her in (and to change her appearance to have more sex appeal).
    Having seen the leaked builds of Dinosaur Planet I can't really say weather that version would have been better than the tarnished gem Star Fox Adventures ended up being. It had some ambitious story and character elements for an N64 title, but the writing and gameplay seemed like they needed a lot more refinement to be more than another one-off title.
    I still hold out some hope Nintendo will give Star Fox Adventures the overhauled remake treatment one day. They've tried recapturing the magic of the original rail shooter with significantly diminished returns each time. Meanwhile, Krystal and the narrative of Dinosaur planet have been there, waiting to provide a solid path forward for the franchise.

      @@darianz1855 I'd honestly rather have modern-day Rare stay as far away as possible from any potential remaster or reimagining. All the talent and leaders that made it so great in the 90's have long-since left and what they have worked on in the decades since Microsoft acquired them has been nowhere near the quality they once produced.
      That said, I could see Platinum Games doing a fantastic job at reworking the original lore and story ideas of _Dinosaur Planet_ so it fits in better with the _Star Fox_ setting. And that's not to mention the potential for amazing on-foot and aerial combat.
      Of course, this would also depend heavily on how much control Miyamoto and Nintendo might have over its development. If they remain as hands-off as possible it might have a chance (unlike the last _Star Fox_ game Platinum collaborated with them on making).

    I know people hated it ONLY because it wasn't a on rails shooter. And even as a child it baffled me how insanely stupid people could be. Reading "Starfox Adventures". ADVENTURES. What did they expect getting there?
    I get it. Adventures (kinda) broke tradition with trying to dabble into a different genre. But if for one moment you could just give it the benefit of the doubt and properly play it, you could see that Rare put a lot of effort into the game even for how "rushed" it was. And i say rushed in quotations, because as i read it the game was mostly ready but in the last moment Nintendo decided to give it the Starfox coating instead of having a own style.
    Dinosaur Planet. I looked at it and i would have loved both games in my childhood.
    Boy i still remember as i barely was able to even speak english (german native) and i always understood Tricky saying: "I'm a spoon."
    To this day i have no clue how i got to understand that. But me and my best friend joke about it to this very day. I remember how i visited him and we could not play it, because his dad wasn't at home and we had to "break into" his house by kicking in a wooden window (didn't have any glass in it) in the cellar to get into the house.
    Boy.. those were the days. I would give anything to travel back in time. Anything.
    I would enjoy every single moment i have so much more knowing what is to come once i get older.
    My sickness. Loosing so many friends (one of oure best friends we had together passed away at a young age)
    I wish so much i could go back. I would also try to stop myself fromt he most awful decisions i could have made back then.
    But one thing is for sure. Starfox Adventures was a great game. I get why people didn't like it. But it wasn't as horrible as everyone made it out to be.

    It was my first Star Fox game I’ve ever played, being 6-7 years old and not a native english speaker I ended up stuck always not knowing what to do, where to go or what was even going on with the story. Ended up learning english just because of videogames and when I finally returned to this game, at 12 or 13 years old I definitely was not dissapointed, I loved every aspect of the game (except for the mission where you mount a mammot in an ice storm and have to eat fruit like things to keep the mammot going, I failed that mission more times than I can count), but the story was deep and entertaining, the music was a masterpiece, staff upgrades were amazing, combat system was simple but still fun, puzzles were complex enough to still be entertaining without being tedious.
    Star Fox Adventures was and still is one of my favorite games of all times, a truly masterpiece.
    I’ll give it a 9.3/10, only reason it is not a 10/10 is that Scales boss fight was thrown away when it had so much potential, and Andross Boss Fight was really easy and simple for a final boss.

Star Fox 64 challenged me to do a “No damage run” and try to get the highest score possible every stage, which isn’t hard now, but playing as a 9 year old and learning all the different tricks and learning enemy patterns was a bit troublesome. However, trial and error won out in the end. Adventures was definitely different but that whole zelda-dungeon exploration while fighting with a staff and pulling off some sick combos in the process was right up my alley.

    They did it to shoot Rare in the foot from releasing either a songnote on the n64 or an appealing release launch adventure title for the gamecube and to eliminate the IP from building up Rare's independence. Both would have taken a hit at Zelda so Miyamoto gambled and sacrificed starfox so that it would take the heat off. KEEP IN MIND: This is the Wind Waker Zelda we're talking about. Then you had Rare's other Titles like PDZ, Kameo. They started turning out games fast...they turned out DP in 2 years THEN completed an acceptable port to a different story in another 2 under the gun of a contract. They could have absolutely ported DP to GCN.
    At the last moment right before their E3 showing, Miyamoto intercepted them and asked them change it. I feel this was to prevent Rare from acting out on actually making it a title...people talked so greatly about that demo at E3 and they had no clue the deal was pretty much already struck. He had previously coveted dinosaur planet and was allegedly said to have wanted them to be starfox characters in a interview from japan. This is literally the only reason he gives.. "Oh I wanted a starfox adventure title". Then just as this game was finished developing, before it even hits the shelves he goes on to hire Namco and the same people who made Ace Combat 2 to make "The coolest starfox possible" which would become SF assault. What happened to "adventure time starfox" that you wanted Miyamoto? They would have made it even better if they were treated the same as they were in the N64 era.

    I never got to play any Star Fox game growing up. My first experience with any SF game was when I was already an adult so I never got to develop any kind of nostalgia to any title in the series. I believe this is one of the reasons why I got to enjoy Adventures far more than most people did/do (actually, as of writing this comment, I am doing a full playthrough of it every week on stream and loving it). I recognize its flaws, but to me they are not enjoyment-breaking. Especially knowing the story behind its development, though the Arwing sections do bug me a tad, but not due to how short they are but rather, how out of place they feel.
    I think one important thing to note about this game's inconsistencies and "weirdness" is also the fact that it was somewhat kind of rushed as Rare was in the process of being bought by Microsoft while working on the game. I believe this is the key reason why some things in the game feel so much out of place, unfinished and why there are so many stock sound effects (like a bunch of Imp sounds, from DOOM). I reckon that if Rare had more time they would have managed to better adapt Dinosaur Planet to the Star Fox universe and iron out most or all of the issues the final product ultimately ended up shipping with.
    Despite all of that, I still find great enjoyment in it and certainly would appreciate a remaster, if it were to ever happen (albeit it likely never will). I'm glad to finally find a video about Adventures that _isn't_ crucifying the thing as if it were the worst possible abomination in the history of gaming. And I wasn't even looking for it, it just showed up in my RUclips recommendations.

    I played this for the first time recently after wanting to try it for years. While it definitely has its strong points and was an interesting idea, I certainly wouldn’t say it ever comes close to being a masterpiece. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Not every game needs to be a masterpiece. I think it’s more important that some games are just interesting in concept and execution rather than trying to be some grand masterpiece.

    Underrated game and I still feel it's really unfair to compare it to Zelda. There are minor similarities that can literally be found in other games not just Zelda. Overall it's just like any other 3D action and adventure so people need to stop acting like it's a Zelda clone. Donkey Kong, Kirby and Mario are literal clones compared to Star Fox Adventures and Zelda

    Oh, it's always refreshing to see people saying they actually liked this game.
    I was never any good at the og SNES or its remake for the N64, what got called in my area "Lylat Wars", so I didn't mind the Zelda-like approach to Star Fox AT ALL.
    The biggest wasted potential was undoubtedly cutting Krystal out of the gameplay to be only the tutorial level of sorts and then the Damsel in Distress for the rest of the game. Would have been way more fun to have her and Fox fight side by side, co-op style maybe.
    And have her fight against Scales while Fox fights Andross in Space, if one REALLY wanted to keep Andross as a final endboss.
    Star Fox 64 DID get a more "traditional" approach to its formula again in the shape of Star Fox Assault, but the nostalgia whiners weren't happy with that one *either* because of some other bogus reasons and that's why I can't ever take those people seriously. The story of Assault was *AWESOME* af, even if the controls COULD indeed have been better, but otherwise it was kickass, imo.

That game motivated a little kid to get out and earn his own money to buy his own gaming console.

It's not perfect by any means, but it has all of the staples of a nice Rare classic, not to mention beautiful graphics and INCREDIBLE performance for its time and platform. People being so close-minded about what a franchise can and cannot be really hold gaming back. I, for one, loved seeing Fox out of the arwing and would've loved for the franchise to grow and expand beyond just on-rails flying shooters. Don't get me wrong, I adore SF64 as well, but the franchise had so much potential beyond that single play style and people just rejected it so mindlessly.

    I wouldn’t say the game is a masterpiece but it is very enjoyable. The idea of having Fox McCloud on a planet of dinosaurs wielding a mystic staff following the formula of Legend of Zelda, albeit more laid back, sounds like a peculiar concept on paper, but it is still an interesting one. I only have three considerable complaints. One is that, like I said before, it’s laid back and more than a little on the easy side. Two, General Scales is pretty weak as a villain and has kind of a stupid name, which is disappointing seeing as how he really has potential and a cool design. He’s almost like the Lyric (Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric) of Nintendo, though still more developed. Lastly, there is the “fight” with Scales. It really sucks that you don’t actually get a battle with him and to make matters worse, the game teases you and makes you think that you do.

    dark souls has more than "2 types of attack patterns." there are standing light attacks, standing heavy attacks, rolling attacks, backstep attacks, sprinting attacks, jumping attacks, parries and ripostes. oh, and all of that is multiplied by 2 because you can 1-hand or 2-hand your weapon. there are also a large number of spells, bows and arrows, and other ranged attacks. dark souls 2 added dual wield attacks. dark souls 3 added weapon arts, which are quite varied. oh, and I can't believe it slipped my mind, dark souls did all of this for like 70+ weapons, with like 10 weapon classes that each have totally different movesets, and some weapons within a class also have different moves. that's definitely way more complexity than star fox adventures no matter how you slice it.

    As a big fan of this game, I'm always glad to see appreciation for it in any shape or form, especially since I didn't grow up originally with 64, which allowed me to enjoy this game a lot more honestly. And while I do appreciate the praise you give for this game, I got a couple issues with some of your points.
    First, I never really found Tricky annoying tbh. He was helpful in solving puzzles, I really enjoyed play catch with him when I wanted to to take a break, and I even found he captured the essence of a kid pretty well at times. Not saying he can be a trouble maker, but I really enjoyed him.
    Second, WTF is going on with the footage at times? Is that a bug with emulator that causes the character models to glitch out? Because you really should have tried to fix that before you posted this... Just saying...
    Third, yes the Arwing segments could have been better admittedly, but I don't think their too bad actually. And plus, the final fight with Andross is actually pretty good in my opinion, and the highlight of those sections.
    And lastly, I don't know how some the characters were "cringey" since you're kinda vague on that a bit...
    Other than that, nice video overall man. Thanks for reminding me why I love this game so much. 😊
