"Star Fox 64" is getting a native PC port

Robert Newbie · 2024-11-26T18:56:06+0000

This is great news. Like Ship of Harkinian and the Recompilation(s), I'm hoping this has a smooth release.

Star Fox 64 had some lag on the original N64, so I'm looking forward to the new features. It'll be interesting to see what mods are added, like using the uncompressed voice samples or replacing the models with their 3DS counterparts.

To this project, I say:

DO A BARREL ROLL!

FINALLY! Some love to this amazing 90s classic.
Seriously groundbreaking thanks to the Rumble Pack Feature, Cinematic intros, cut scenes, gameplay and that hidden ending for experts was memorable.

The 3D remake was nice too. Hope to see that kind of style with the classic N64 gameplay.

Sadly no Paper Mario 64 PC port yet.

starfox 64 is truly a timeless classic.

I always wanted to play this one

Not having to worry about emulation issues and playing at 60 fps are obvious benefits, but biggest benefit to me is the possibility to be able to customize the controls at a deeper level. The N64 joystick is unique in its own way and this game uses it to its full potential, but to the point that no other stick ever feels right. But with a decomp we should be able to thinker with the values and logic do adapt any sort of joystick, or even a mouse. I'll finally be able to use my flight joystick in it!

And also allow for a more "standard" control scheme

Looks nice! Now we need the equivalent of Render 96 HD for this game

Argonaut Software was plenty ambitious with their two SNES games, and the N64 was the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to polish Star Fox with state-of-the-art graphics and voice acting.

After that, I think Nintendo had trouble innovating on the rail shooter. Even the Wii U's gimmick was an opportunity to do something with the franchise, but even Platinum Games struggled with the project. I think Star Fox and F-Zero are in positions where a new entry needs both a unique idea and an opportunity to stand out.

Imagine remade 3D models with fur and all.
Furries rejoice.

To be honest, Star Fox 64 is one of the few instances where they actually used the low-poly in-game models for all promotional art.

I think a lot of people forget that the first Star Fox is basically Star Glider 3. Argonaut already had their shit together and knew exactly what they were doing with the franchise. When Nintendo got their eyes on Star Glider 3 they knew it was gonna be a huge hit so got on board and asked Argonaut to make it more child friendly and Star Glider 3 became Star Fox

What i loved about SOH is that it allowed Link to have custom tunic colors. I always loved that. I made mine look like the Animal Crossing Joy-Cons and for fire, i picked Mario Red. I must say they look awesome. Hopefully those kind of features also come to Starship

Really excited for this project. I could see this going well with a flight simulator joystick setup, but even refined mouse and keyboard support would be nice. But above all, I'd really love to see Versus support online play.
