I was OBSESSED with Starfox Adventures as a kid. I loved it so much. To see the original N64 incarnation is so amazing! Noticing all the things that made the jump to Gamecube, and all the smaller things that were left behind. A piece of video game history!

This game was way ahead of its time. I would play this instantly

Its really cool to see how far they were able to push the hardware of the n64 even in this unfinished version. I feel like this could have been the best looking ganme on the n64

This looks so much better paced than the final product. Staff combat within the first few minutes instead of a picking up and throwing/placing on switches puzzle that goes on too long? Yes, please!

It's surreal seeing the pieces of this game that were translated almost one-to-one into Starfox Adventures, from cutscenes to VAs to SFX to music.

Love the passion and work the community has put together for this Project

It's sadly not possible because the game wasn't close to being complete when it was cancelled. There's still so much missing. The best thing we can hope for is a remaster or better yet a remake of Star Fox Adventures that brings back some of the cut story and gameplay ideas from the original Dinosaur Planet. Having a playable Krystal with her sidekick Kyte would be a dream. That's what I'd love to see, as unlikely as it is.

Im not 100% sure what youtube recommended me, but im intrigued.

Woah, massive respect for this, very interesting

This looks incredible. And running at 60fps? Imagine how amazing it will look when people make hd texture packs.. wow. Also I slightly disagree that it would have gotten less attention, it probably wouldn't have reached OOT levels but in terms of atmosphere it probably would have changed the game IMHO. I haven't seen a game with this much atmosphere and soul since legacy of Kain.

@@Fuchsfein Yeah, I noticed that DP is a bit obtuse even for a late N64 game but I suppose part of it is just because it's an unfinished alpha. I played a small bit of Star Fox Adventures last night and the comparison is very interesting. I do have to say that yeah, SA is gorgeous! I feel like that era of gaming was the first to have some gorgeous 3D games that hold up visually even to this day and playing them in HD only does more for it. But also as someone who grew up with the N64 I gotta say DP looks fantastic in it's own right, it could pass for an early gamecube title with some minor tweeks. I really hope that the restoration team will be able to finish this game and make it a complete experience

@@rabidguineapig Star Fox Adventures isn't bad, but what bugs me about is how many explosive barrel puzzles they shoved in. When you play both games side by side you'll see what I mean. Areas that were fun to explore and run through in DP artificially slow you down now with barrel puzzles. I'm sure they did it to stretch the playtime a bit because several chapters of DP got cut completely but it isn't that much fun to do these puzzles. There's actually a prototype build of Adventures from just a few month before release that still has many elements from DP that didn't make the cut, including entire maps. Looks like the dev team really ran out of time and had to scale things back last minute to get it released before Rare joined Microsoft. It's already possible to play all of DP by now with the fan patch. Well, all that exists of it. The patch only fixes content that was already in the game. It doesn't add any fanmade content to try and fill the gaps that are missing, that goes beyond the scope of the restoration. Maybe someone else will attempt that some day if a full decompilation of DP happens.

It wasn't entirely the Star Fox rebranding that's at fault. But I do agree that it was a profit oriented change that needlessly hurt the story of the game. Mainly we have the move to Gamecube to blame for Star Fox Adventures' shortcomings compared to the N64 version. That's what caused them to scrap nearly half of the game's content due to development issues. I think the game would've turned out better and more complete had it stayed on the N64 as originally intended. With or without the Star Fox rebranding.
