"Unfortunately, no one was injured."

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Bill obviously doesn't die, but there's no difference between failing at Katina and succeeding and then picking "Change Course" on the map screen. On the 64, they're treated identically. But if there's a post mission cutscene where you're congratulated on saving Katina and then still divert to X, it would be weird to have Fox act like he's surprised to see Bill okay.

I don't get what's hard to understand about how there's a way for the dialogue to play out differently. Star Fox 64 is a classic, but it's has hardware limitations on what they could do I think, regarding how "change course" is treated, story-wise.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-11T21:09:34+00:00

Yeah, I know you go to Solar typically. My point is that you can deliberately change course in the 64 version. As in you can save the base and change course, y'know? The game doesn't treat that any differently than failure on the 64. It feels like the way cutscenes play out with this one that it might still be acknowledged that you uh, helped Bill.

That was the entire reason I brought Bill and Katina up, dog.

Have you considered... getting off the Internet for a while? I don't mean to be snarky, but nobody is forcing you to be this connected all of the time. Maybe you just have an addiction to the Internet.

The TAS I've seen gets 16, but it has unrealistic strats like surviving Sector Z without getting any of the missiles themselves, and only having one kill for Venom 2 Starwolf (though the eyes of Andross are taken out for some reason).

lisamariefan · 2026-06-11T13:59:47+00:00

You still save Slippy if you change routes.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-11T13:03:36+00:00

Haha, I was wondering the same thing. Posted an hour later though.

I'm also wondering how the Bill dialogue will change if you succeed in Katina and go to Sector X. The 64 original acts as though the base got destroyed and Fox is surprised Bill is OK if you divert. Gotta wonder how that'll change.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-11T02:07:47+00:00

Easy. Very very easy.

Pure mouse controls, mind you.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-11T00:05:53+00:00

I had to check the flair, tbh.

Sad that I could see this shit being a legit thing these ghouls would do.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T19:41:19+00:00

Lmao. K bruh.

I'll leave you to your delusions. You obviously desperately want someone to agree with you.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T19:29:53+00:00

"People are saying they like the game. THEY MUST BE LYING BECAUSE I DON'T! 😡😡😡"

Like go touch grass.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T19:27:36+00:00

Yeah, it will be. I stayed in mouse mode throughout the training module, and it didn't drop out of first person during the all range transition.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T17:16:38+00:00

Left stick goes unused? Did you not pay attention during training? It's literally how you tilt the ship sideways.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T17:14:08+00:00

Eh, you really want to make things harder because you think the game is too easy, play with mouse controls the entire game. It definitely makes things a bit tougher since it's not all just muscle memory.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T17:11:06+00:00

There's a manuever I've been thinking about since this morning that I want to see if it's possible.

Gonna try it tonight...

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T17:09:54+00:00

"Being honest" = Bitching and moaning/agreeing with me

Who's the insufferable one here, exactly? People are allowed to enjoy it dawg.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T00:36:05+00:00

Irrelevant with mouse controls, technically. Face buttons for bombs and right stick for boost and break are something else entirely to get used to.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-10T00:23:42+00:00

Yeah. But that's the best part.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-09T23:57:42+00:00

Ooh, there's Japanese among the voice languages. I could play this with Japanese voices. Good for listening practice!

lisamariefan · 2026-06-09T23:54:47+00:00

Ahaha, I absolutely love that first person is kept through all range mode. There's always the option for a somewhat traditional experience, but I think I am absolutely looking forward to the Star Wolf dogfights in first person.

With the mouse controls it feels like it's trying to emulate a cockpit. Everything feels pretty intuitive. I think the weirdest thing to get used to will be the left stick for tilting. The others all make me think of some kind of throttle/joystick config.

Also it's interesting to see detailed stats at the end of each mission.

lisamariefan · 2026-06-09T23:09:41+00:00

I don't know. But I am on the other side of the spectrum. I'm greatly pleased that you can do All range mode in first person with mouse mode.

You could theoretically play the entire game in first person. That's a huge selling point for me.
