Adventure Awaits - Krystal meets Fox - Star Fox Event Horizon 

This comment needs to be pinned!

@@TheRealSuperMarioBros It is done!

The King Himself.

So sick that y'all respect each others' work! 💯 🤙🏼

And the legend doth appear!

Let's just hope Nintendo doesn't find out about this project and shut it down like they did with AM2R

​@@jahmirwhite7807 yeah they probably will more then likely... enjoy it while it lasts

@@moodyowlproductions4287 AM2R came out at roughly the time of Samus Returns' announcement, so of course, it got shut down. Nintendo has expressed no such interest in maintaining Star Fox since the release of Star Fox Zero, so if it finds out about this, it should be relatively safe.

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.

We know it for certain now with the leaked build of Dinosaur Planet which was in the earlier stages of becoming StarFox Adventures.

Also, Fara still being around complicates things a bit.

@@Thoralmir Fara died in the Lylat Wars.

@@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.

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.

Exactly. I thought it was sweet of fox to lower his blaster when he saw her.

Also, its not two thirds into the story this time after Krystal sat the game out in...a crystal.

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.

Agreed.

A weird Zelda-esque game mixed with Rare-style exploration and gimmicks but otherwise charmful.

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.

Agreed.

You did and are doing awesome work dude!

Yeah pretty good.

Amazing job as Fox. 👍👍👍

Impressive work @TheRealSuperMarioBros

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.

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.

if we do then the I can't wait to se what the aperoids look like also I might have spelled that wrong

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 😉

Of course they're missing, they got no depth perception.

"Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."

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.

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

@@bca0222 Pepper literally told Fox to go into a planet scaled version of Jurassic Park with no weapons and said "deal with it".

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!

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.

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.

Eyes get bloodshot if you're in a particularly stressful environment.

@@codemancz798 especially if you just lost an expensive Ar-wing,

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.

Oh yeah. That comic. So far, Fox seems alright here.

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.

Ok I have zero idea what you’re translating but I don’t think you transplanted the right parts

@@bca0222 It’s just a joke

@@bca0222 It’s just a joke

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.

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...

You're too slow, Sharpclaw!

Yeah he was going to probably contact his team

If it didn’t break in the first place

They've been handed a bunch of technology they barely understand. It probably doesn't help that their eyes are on the sides of their heads too...

@@UndyingNephalim speaking of being handed technology, here's an idea for the Sauria levels, Perhaps a part of Fox and Krystal's growing relationship throughout the story could involve the two teaching each other new abilities and techniques. Fox teaches Krystal how to use the advanced weapons and vehicles like the speeder bike, Landmaster, and eventually the Arwing, while Krystal teaches Fox how to utilize the sorcery she uses, assuming that your version has Fox wielding a sword like he did in the early builds of Adventures
