    "Feels like it starts at the climax of a Star Fox game that never happened" You know what, I'd like to see that game. It could be kinda interesting to have the final level kinda merge into the first level of Assault. Or maybe some off hand comments after destroying a base or something as the final mission but that the Cornerian military has tracked him Andrew Oikony and his fleet down to Fichina or what ever at the end.

      What about a Adventures remake? I still think that game has the potential to be re-build into a more proper Star Fox game. Y'know, with actually fun and challenging Arwing stages, ground combat, more vehicles to use than just the Arwing and third-person shooter combat rather than just the staff.

      Ya, it really gets more hate than it deserves. I honestly have to admit I didn't like it back in the day, but now it's one of my favourite games of all time. If for nothing else than the music. The game just gives a bad first impression in terms of control scheme for the on foot gameplay, but you can change it in the options.

    16:15 You can say Andrew is useless but you can't deny the fact he held on to the fight long after the fall of Venom. Sure he got randomly blasted by space bugs, but it's his fault the Corneran military was so woefully unprepared to defend against the Aparoids by exhausting so much of their resources to fight him. Which... is a good thing for a bad guy? /still bad for everyone.

    • @lordscorch3167
      @lordscorch3167  6 місяців тому +1

      thats a fair point, however i will give my own overly researched lore-nerd counter point.
      from what we can gather from the opening, this is the first battle between Andrew's Venom remnant that has broken out; implied by the fleet commander in the opening's dialog, and pepper's briefing for the first mission.
      Andrew was able to do a lot with his fleet, and weaken cornaria considerably, but he didn't put the armada on the backfoot like his uncle did. he didn't push cornaria back at all (also weird that the fighting was at fortuna and not venom.)
      Andrew "useless?"...ok fair point he has *SOME* tactical/logistical knowledge to hold out in thr one fight we seen, and still get the upperhand when outnumbered.
      still the worst pilot in the franchise, and i stand by that.

      ​@@lordscorch3167A late point: the time between Starfox 64 and Assault is give or take 9 years. Fox was 18 in 64 and 26 in Adventures according to manuals, and Krystal joining the team means there's probably another year at the most conservative estimation. Corneria spent those years hunting down the remnants of Androsses forces and bioweapons, so it's difficult to guess how many were in contact with Oinkonny and how many were rogue.

    Great video, probably one of the best retrospectives on the franchise that I have watched. My only thing that I thought was missing was you should of probably expanded a little bit more on Dinosaur Planet N64 variant of Adventures. Only because it was literally Miyamoto that essentially derailed what would of been a great original Rare title and ended up injecting Star Fox into it. Which I mean don't get me wrong, I loved adventures as a kid. Though the history behind the development of that particular title is pretty interesting and is quite telling that was the last title they ended up developing for Nintendo before Microsoft's acquisition. Though, I digress. Great job and normally channels that just start out never have a banger first video like this, so the time commitment paid off tremendously.

      in the first draft of the script i had about 10-15 extra minutes of going into detail about dinosaur planet and the development getting completely changed just by Miyamoto walking in and going "FOX CHARATURE LOOK LIKE MY FOX", but in future drafts i ended up cutting it.
      frankly the entire subject and the original game itself could be its own hour long video, that rabbithole goes *deep.*

    A modern SF game with 64's routes (but maybe the number of missions zero has still), zero''s approach to how the landmaster performs and the arwing getting the walker powerup at some point via a point i'll make below, Assault's approach to storytelling and cinematics as well as modernizing its multiplayer to the level modern hardware would allow for (ALSO see below for bigger point) could me the marquee product financially that Nintendo would want it to be.
    Having the gimmick of being able to fully customise your arwing to different potential outcomes depending on the route you take, a-la a roguelike, would provide a verrrrrry meaty framework for my second gimmick. As an aside too, having the walker be a first level upgrade, and potentially it then evolving into the way General Pepper's ship becomes a full mecha OR having it become more animalistic like the wolden in ZERO on an upgrade tree, is the level of complexities they could aspire to in order to have a satisfying experience. Command begrudgingly has great designs for their ships and fun concepts this would echo too, like your upgrades impacting the types of blasters your arwing is capable of, its handling, deciding if you want to alot more engine strength to the shields or the engines between missions like its f-zero, all the modifiers of the core Starfox gameplay toolbox being tweakable for the player would keep its arcadey gameplay, but raise the skill ceiling to something that can catch a competitive scene, and you can make money off this game just from sponsored e-sports events marketing this game for nintendo months after its release.
    Having it be nintendo's flagship multiiplayer action game! I am imagining if you made something well optimized for the switch 2 that allowed for say, 32 player lobbies of team deathmatches featuring vehicles and a refined on ground combat system which builds off of Assault's weapon roster, you would immediately be cooking. Hell, put it on the Splatoon 3 engine if you really wanna build off of it as multiplayer first, because I think that foundation of gameplay first would still hugely apply.
    The x factor though I think personally, would be a squad based 4v4 mode that takes heavy inspiration from the classic Star Wars battle front mode: Galactic Conquest. Having your teams battle back and forth for control of the lylat system and having the winning team every match get an upgrade from the various options available during the campaign itself with each victory, could be a very fun game mode I feel to help give this some more legs to stand on (pardon the unintentional walker pun!)
    I think basically, if Command never happened and we went from Assualt to Zero, a theoretical variant of Command that came out on the switch with all my aforementioned traits it would have a large potential upside for big N!
    Ultimately it's a pipe dream, but not impossible to imagine Star Fox coming back this way. Underselling big name nintendo IP's have been thriving on the switch and Assault at minimum should get this treatment too, because I wanna see Assault look and play as good as possible!

      also love your idea of the Ar-Walker getting an evolution to the point of getting a Pepper mech, because honestly i fucking love mechs, and Pepper's Flagship's design goes hard.
      first thing i can imagine is making Pepper's mech with (i think it was Leon's blaster?) the shotgun Wolfen blaster from Command. and now we got Armored Core in Star Fox.
      I'm with you in that I hope and dream for a Star Fox comeback. who knows? maybe next gen we will get a grand return with some heart put in it.

Some of the maps were so big that you basically had to use the vehicles to get around, but some of the ground weapons were so powerful that they could take out an arwing quite quickly. It became a cat and mouse. And they had different game types, my favorite of which was the sniper showdown... guess which one was my friend's least favorite? Maybe someday my space opera game will be more than a scuffed and disjointed proof of concept.

    Star Fox Assault only needed alternate pathways like SF64 did, and then it would've been the best SF game. Aside from that, Assault was an amazing evolution of SF64 in every way. With that said, although SF Assault had an engaging story line and as much as I like Peppy Hare...
    He should've died at the end of the game.
    By having him survive the explosion, it comes off like namco wussed out to avoid pissing off Star Fox fans. It felt like a Saturday morning cartoon ending. They didn't want to go all the way with this more serious entry in the SF series, I guess, but it hurt the game's story.
    For starters, that was a huge explosion. He's in the middle of space, where it's impossible to breathe. The Great Fox, the flagship that he'd normally evacuate into in an emergency, was reduced to a fireball of death and destruction. In such a scenario, Peppy would have no way to escape alive. So, how did he survive that? How did a helper spaceship arrive just in time to save him?
    Star Fox Assault was marketed as a darker and more cinematic and dramatic entry in the Star Fox series. The Aparoids are sold as deadly cybernetic insect parasites. We saw them turn Pigma into a giant puppet made of flesh and metal. After he blew up, he should've been dead after that. We see the same thing happen to the Sauria dinosaurs and Pepper, all of whom almost died as a result. These Aparoids are demons that are hellbent on sucking the life out of every living creature in the Lylat System. To emphasize how determined Peppy is to stop this destructive force of nature, the story should've shown Peppy crash the Great Fox into the planet's barrier to help the Star Fox gang invade the Aparoids' home world. But, as a consequence of this sacrifice, Peppy is dead and gone. The Great Fox is destroyed. Peppy gave his life so that millions of other people could live. That would've been a big character moment.
    Plus, this ending would've made Fox more sympathetic by making him more vulnerable. It would've made the final boss fight more momentous, as Fox's revenge against the Aparoids. Of course, after destroying the Aparoids, he'd realize that the Aparoids' destruction wouldn't bring Peppy back. The ending would've been a moment of sad irony. He flies powerful spaceships and mows down entire enemy fleets. He won a war against a mad scientist who had been causing all sorts of mayhem for 5 long years. He's saved the Lylat System and hundreds of planets many times. Like Pepper said, Fox is the only hope for the Lylat System when they're facing a massive threat. Yet, Fox keeps failing to protect the ones closest to him. He lost his dad. He lost his mom. Now, he's lost his mentor. That's heart-wrenching.
    But, what role could Peppy have played in the next game, had he been killed off in the last game? He could've been a ghost who gives Fox mentorship from beyond the grave, much like his dad James does or Obi-Wan Kenobi does for Luke Skywalker. In Star Fox Command, it would've made his decision to remove Krystal from the team somewhat more understandable as well. They could've established that he was terrified of the risk of losing another person who was important in his life.

    • @lordscorch3167

      you hit the nail on the head, and i agree.
      it seems like Command was going off of the "true" ending of Assault but ignoring everything that happened.
      always hated that Peppy became the new general of cornaria, they should have had Bill be Pepper's successor being a young but inexperienced commander. you can even bring in Shears from the SNES trying to undermind Bill and making him a more impactful twist villain.

    • @TheDr502
      @TheDr502 6 місяців тому +2

      @@lordscorch3167Yeah, I would've been fine with Bill becoming Pepper's replacement after Pepper fell sick from old age. In fact, there're a lot of interesting character developments that were introduced with SF Assault that were never mentioned again in this series. For example, it's fascinating how Wolf shows so much more respect toward Fox, his archrival, than Pigma, a former colleague of his. This game makes it clear that Wolf trusts Fox a lot more than he does Pigma.
      But, what happened? Before Assault, what made him see that Pigma was a toxic "friend"? What event caused this change in Wolf from "typical bad guy" to a seriously flawed individual who still has a difficult personality but actually has some moral standards who no longer wants toxic people in his life? Was he recovering from this incident, hence why he didn't appear in SF Adventures? Heck, Wolf was minding his own business until Fox invaded his base on the assumption that Wolf was still Pigma's buddy. He doesn't really feel like a bad guy in this game at all.
      For example, did Pigma nearly stab Wolf in the back to make a quick buck the same way he did to James? After that experience, did he realize that, unlike Pigma, Fox never stabs his friends in the back for a quick buck, hence why he starts to respect Fox for his loyalty to his friends? Why is this never talked about in Star Fox Command? Even more so, why the hell did they reboot the series instead of continuing with the story developments that were brought up in Star Fox Assault? A scene in Command or another future SF game that showed Pigma nearly getting Wolf killed would've shown how irredeemable Pigma was and, therefore, would've made his death in SF Assault a dramatic cautionary tale about how an endless pursuit of riches can cause your downfall.
      Just with a few minutes thought, right here are a number of plots that could be used in a multitude of new Star Fox games. Star Fox has a lot of potential, especially in the story-telling department. It could've turned into Nintendo's Star Wars, and it's too bad that the folks at Nintendo can't see that.

      on your great points on Star Wolf; it also seems that Wolf is trying to stop the Aparoid plot in his own way.
      when you find the crashed-out Wolfens, that implies that Wolf was hunting down Pigma own their own. but why?
      well, then Star Wolf shows up in Cornaria to help Star Fox. this heavily implies Star Wolf was trying to stop the Invasion on their own but when things got out of hand they came out of the shadows and started helping Cornaria/Fox openly. hell, the fact that they seem to want to help the System **for FREE** is huge character development.
      by the time of Command? Naw Wolf just wants to embarrass Fox, beating him by shaming and disgracing him rather than by the merit of their skills. Panther cucks Fox and takes Krystal. est est.

Im pretty sure (correct me if im wrong.) That the apparoid queen uses the voices of peppy, pigma, etc as a form of mental assault.
