[Androgeos Exeunt]

I never thought I'll end up doing this to express my opinion again.

* Androgeos Exeunt fires an LRABeam.

Uh. You really might want to get the team's permission...just in case. Unless you're on the team, in which case I apologize! Hard to tell.

Not that I think it's necessarily a bad idea, just for safety's sake with the cease-and-desist risk and all.

im not on the team, but as the video is now on youtube, i doubt it'd do much more damage to add it to gamespot.  its not uploaded yet, i'll keep on hold for an auth...

But then again as mentionned earlier in the thread nintendo isnt in the habit of killing fan-made projects

Go ahead and post the link anywhere you want.

What does the terrain look like using the fixed-function renderer?

Note: This isn't the final light setting(!)
I took these a few months ago.


Full quality - Shader 3.0, + normal&parallax mapping 16*AA high-end 4096² textures (high-end PCs)


Full quality - Shader 3.0 + normal mapping 2*AA standard 2048² textures (mid-range PCs)


Full quality - Shader 3.0/or fixed-function standard 2048² textures (older PCs)
(looks pretty much identical without normal mapping)


Medium quality - Fixed-function (T&L) (really really old PCs)

Done.

I have posted it on three separate places.

Gamespot (the video was compressed down to standard size, they don't have hd for user videos)
http://www.gamespot.com/snes/action/starfox/video_player.html?id=KnVmwzT75bIKvDDf  It is currently in the "most recent" list of user videos so it should generate some views.

Megavideo (that one is in HD, you just have to tolerate the popup ad...)
http://megavideo.com/?v=EL9J3KY9

Veoh (did not come out in hd but is of better quality than gamespot's horrid quality.  and unlike gamespot it can be fullscreened)
http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v18718353B2JpRDaM


Well if this doesn't give some publicity to the campaign, I don't know what will

I'm patient

I can wait............................................

[darkdaej]

As long as I can play this maxed out on my Core 2 Quad Q6600 and my Asus 8800GT 512mb, i'll be happy 

[Ghost]

Holy ****. That's the most impressive thing related to FS2 I've seen in a LONG ****ing time. Looking forward to playing any sort of release; keep it up, fellas.

[Zantor]

WOW!!! Just.... WOW!!

[tinfoil]

HOLY ****

Can you do that????

Just insane - talk about pushing the limits of the engine waaaay further than they were ever meant to go.

[Rhymes]

YOU.
ARE.
GOD.

And I worship you.

[Galemp]

Needs combat. Moar lazors.

[Fenrir]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Alex Navarro]

 I played Lilat Wars for N64 in my childhood with a friend... that pics and your mod are AMAZING, incredibly better than the original.

 Are there going to be ground missions and units too?

Los de SoL sois los mejores, la puta hostia

Needs combat. Moar lazors.

Agreed thar.

[monteman]

Absolutely stunning. Amazing work to the entire team!

[Retsof]

SWEEEEEEEET!
Question:  Is that shot in the begining with all the planets actually in game?

[Bixel]

Looks really good - but you got waaaay too much specular on the mapping. Can you simmer it down otherwise all the planets will look like they have been glassed.

The trailer has been reviewed by the Star Fox Blog Cast.

Ok, time to answer some questions.

Are there going to be ground missions and units too?

A few missions will take place on planets, but you won't leave our Arwing.
If we can do it, there might be a mission in the Landmaster, but right now that's not very likely.

There will be AI ground units though.

SWEEEEEEEET!
Question:  Is that shot in the begining with all the planets actually in game?

No, the pan in the beginning is pure prerendered CG.
However, I plan to render sequences like this before each mission. Either as fullscreen videos, or simply as small clips in the briefing.

The planets are supposed to look stylized.

You guys made it to Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5317359/if-nintendo-wont-make-a-hd-starfox-these-guys-will

The comments are rather hilarious.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm not sure if "hilarious" is the right term if most of the first 100 comments compels me to feel like mooning them flipping them off verbally abusing them using duct tape on their keyboards.

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

That's another way to put it, yes.
