You know, I don't think anyone has said anything about this yet...

So I was playing SF64, and I was thinking. With on-rails a part of Shadows of Lylat, why not have someone create SF64 in SoL as a campaign? It wouldn't be too hard (to my knowledge) to create all the levels in it.

What do you guys think?

[Il Mauriciano]

I think it could possible but only some levels, not the entire game (Maybe for game rights I think :p) but it's a good idea.

[Devestator]

An interesting idea. I think the blue marine was still unknown as to whether or not they'd make it work.

Also, I believe that the rails are limited to straight lines. (Or else I missed something on the YT vid)

Thirdly, before the know they can make a traditional SF barrel-roll work, the missions would be super-hard. I can't imagine trying to have gotten through SF64 without the handy barrel-roll.

It's an excellent idea, but I don't think we quite have the programming yet. :)

[Fox's_Feather]

Great idea indeed. :D

I've just played it, and rocked all the levels like always. XD (seriously the 511 pts limit at Area 6 cuz of that fucking Pal version pisses me off)

If at least they could remake Area 6, Sector Y and Zoness... Would be... Legendary. They arn't so hard, it's straight lines. Just add a shitload of firing ships cuz it wasn't difficult enough in the original game. Seriously I can run through Area 6 in expert without damage. :(

Damn I'm always too excited when talking about SF64...

Err…. No. First of all, we can not replicate the landmaster missions in FS2 open at this time. Second, remaking all the SF64 missions would mean we would be creating a free version of a game that Nintendo sells and that would lead to all sorts of legal problems. We might be able to get away with maybe making a multi-player co-op version of one or two missions but, we can not do a remake of SF64.

Both of those problems occured to me after I posted. I realized about the Landmaster missions... well, if no Landmaster, why not make them missions where you fly as one of the wingmen? (You could have the Landmaster be a normal ship, and have it follow a waypoint or something along the ground.)

The legal problems... well, I realize that would be a problem. But making at least some of those as co-op missions would be great.

It could be made by others in the community, without being affiliated with SoL itself...

You can just change the names, and change the levels a bit, then I guess it would be OK no? Am I wrong?
And who cares: just forget Titania, MacBeth and Aquas, the rest is just Arwing missions and so you can do it. :D



Edit: Using this post to ask a question if the devs pass here: Can we hope to see the first version of SoL before the end of the year or not? Because you said you were getting closer from the release. :p

[Jesse TV]

For the barrel rool, just make a temporary sheild f some sort, and add a spin animation.

EDIT: I hate my spelling skills.

Yes you are wrong.

I really do care and I have a better idea! Lets make our own Star Fox game... wait?! NO really we are already doing that?! Hey I guess that means we can use our own creativity instead of having to do a remake! Yay!~

That question is answered here (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32) and trust me if the answer changes you WILL know.

well, if no Landmaster, why not make them missions where you fly as one of the wingmen?

I'm not sure if someone else has said this yet as I only read halfway down the page and I know this is a really late response, but surely if there has been speak of co-op missions and multiplayer, surely it is quite likely that you will be flying as one of the wingmen, as I don't think a few people could really play as Fox (Assuming he is the lead character) at the same time.

I apologize in advance if this point has been made already.
And also if the quote hasn't worked. I'm not too sure how to do it :doubtful:

...

I meant all players being wingmen, instead of any of them being Fox, as he would be in the Landmaster. :doubtful:

[swiftfox260]

If the makers of SoL were to implement landmaster missions, they would have to build a physics system as well, so technically, it wouldn't be "Freespace"...

Not that that'd be a bad thing, but it would take a long time to get it working properly with weight systems, wind, gravity, and everything else you can think of.

[Jesse TV]

.... Not really. Just have a landmaster mission on Meteor (NOT Meteo/AsteroidBelt, Meteor from the SNES game. make sure it is a HUGE meteor) and have the Landmaster, with Fox as pilot, just roaming around the surface in a looping waypoint, like Ar-Wing suggested, blasting enemies within range, and chatting up a storm in revenge to his teammates, which, unfortuntley, your playing as one at that moment.

Maybe just have a mission witht the Great Fox with the Landmaster on top acting as an extra turret. You cant say you DIDN'T include the Landmaster, so theres a bonus.
