Boundary Break: Star Fox 64

[@coletale]

A for Andross?

[@Zalied]

pretty sure its Andrew the guy on wolfs squad (andross is probably it ya)

[@fryPS]

Jennietale EXTENDED I thought everyone already knew that it stands for andross I figured it out when I first played this game

[@BlueAmpharos]

Same here.

[@firstname7606]

it stands for arssse

[@TheSamoa324]

A is for *ASS* (JK)

[@behindthewolfseyes]

I always assumed the A was for Andross. I feel certain that the spray painted appearance was intended to be literal, showing soldiers that switched sides, kind of like an American tank crew spraying a swastika on their hull if they wanted to defect in WWII. Andross has brought together aggressive and disaffected people from all over the Lylat system, some of them bringing their own hardware and spraying their allegiance into view with indelible krylon. I bet that if there had been modern style ground levels, we'd see pro-Andross grafiti everywhere.

[@JimBimBum]

Or could've been Andrew tagging everyone's stuff like a prick XD

[@SkulkHogan]

I kinda interpreted it as stolen equipment, especially with the walking mech on Corneria.

[@fawful94]

@@SkulkHogan yeah, it's usually stolen equipment and illegal modifications.

[@Sei783]

If I recall correctly, the shooting star IS connected to the James McCloud ending. It was mentioned in a strategy guide forever ago.

[@VinnyGreeley]

Im sorry but maybe this is due for a remake episode hopefully with better tools. I’m not sure of the work that goes into something like this so maybe it’s not possible

[@LoponStormbased]

That shooting star fact was cool, Starfox 64 was probably my most played game as a kid, I would regularly play through looking for new secrets and chasing rumors (ahh the early days of the internet before data-mining), I beat that final level so many times trying to get to the end first, never noticed that "shooting star" or how it's exclusive to that ending. Awesome.

[@DuskTheBard]

This game was my entire childhood. This is pretty cool.

[@SonicTheJackrabbit]

Gonna correct you at 4:38, that's not actually the Walker from SF2 and SFZ, those are the Searcher III enemies that jumped between asteroids in the original Star Fox. (As the Japanese SF1 guide refers them to.) You can also see them on asteroids in the Sargasso mission of Assault. Admittedly the model does resemble the Walker slightly, but I think the enemy itself was just something carried over from the first game. Also, I am stunned at how much the CDF base resembles Pepper's tower in SFZ.

[@SonicTheJackrabbit]

I'm a shitnerd when it comes to this kind of stuff, I know. :V

[@MortonGoldthwait]

These camera angles. Im gonna got throw up now.

[@nelsonurenaperez2766]

@MortonGoldthwait yeah, I'm curious to know why the camera squashes and stretches everything if we don't play by the rules

[@SirDavid290]

Maybe the game use by default the FOV in a certain setting.

[@richardg8376]

Nelson Urena Perez If I had to guess, I would say it's a projection issue. In really simple terms, when you render a 3D scene, every triangle has to be "projected" onto a 2D screen (your monitor or TV). The triangles are twisted and deformed so that they look accurate from the camera's current perspective, and this is updated every frame. Depending on how the camera hack BB uses works, it may be that it doesn't update the projection, so the scene looks horribly distorted when not viewed from the angle the game *thinks* the camera is at. Think of it like one of those optical illusion drawings street artists sometimes do on pavements where it looks 3D from one angle, but skewed and stretched when you walk around it.

[@intron9]

I agree with Richard and I think this video was made using the dolphin emu running a virtual console game, I got the same results doing that, and surely it's a dolphin and/or virtual console emulator problem, since the ingame graphics never look like that and when I used other kind of tool that exports the 3d environment of a gamestate it never deformed any object or visual. I can't remember the name of the tool, but as there're so few it should appear just by googling n64 3d tools.

[@an_annoying_cat]

SpoonyLionheart it's worse than a fisheye lens

[@SuperFlashDriver]

The N64 games tend to be like I'm looking at 2D objects in a 3D game when moving the camera around.

[@DrClay999]

One thing that actually happened, and I honestly think it will never happen again... I played this game on wii virtual console.. I'm not sure what I did differently, but during the ending cutscene, Star Fox's dad was flying upside down above Fox... (His ship was a bit more light blue) I swear, I am not making this up.

[@maisaltyleftnut8138]

You went to Katina and that was Bill

[@DrClay999]

@maisaltyleftnut8138 yeah I know now thankfully, forgot I made this comment lol. I never saw it before that.

Alberto Marcillo OH SHIIIIIIIIIIII-

[@ShinyShandera]

My brother and I always knew that shooting star was his dad. I remember the first time I ever saw it and told him and it blew his mind. Good days...

[@beauwalker9820]

Awesome, I never noticed the symbolic shooting star at the end of the game before. I wonder if it's in the 3DS version too.

[@LosTimeNeos]

"20,000 views was nuts - I don't expect that to happen again." lol

[@Fireshock20]

6:54 Actually, I heard about the shooting star on starfox.wikia.com/wiki/James_McCloud

[@beauwalker9820]

I never noticed the shooting star in the ending before! Thanks for pointing it out. Wonder if the 3DS version has it.

[@rogersstinson4019]

Beau Walker didn’t see it

[@LordDelta-pi3zc]

7:11 The war really took a toll on him.

[@inakilbss]

Why do N64 games look warped when you move the camera? Also, why are camera angles tilted in other games?

[@yanderesnake8191]

I'd say it's because Star Fox games are usually played from specific perspective and things have to make a good optical illusion. Or maybe he's using software rendering. Hard to tell.

[@inakilbss]

Paper Mario had the same thing.

[@angelcore3186]

Fov, probably

[@inakilbss]

Extreme FOV doesn't cause this.

[@partydude002]

inakilbss paper Mario was like that because the whole game is 2d with no 3D objects

[@TheFoxMcfat]

8:44 WHERE DID HE GET THAT FOX MCCLOUD FIGURE FROM

[@hondacivet]

I think it's this thing from GameStop: www.gamestop.com/collectibles/toys/star-fox-limited-edition-fox-mccloud-stone-statue-only-at-gamestop/126573

[@an_annoying_cat]

- Mcfat - when I click that timecode it takes me to the smash bros leftovers

[@an_annoying_cat]

- Mcfat - this video isn't even 8:44 seconds long

[@michaelflores9220]

Great Question!

[@EscanthonX]

Looks like the FOV cone is separate from the camera

[@splitwirez]

Oh, is that what's going on in the video? Huh...

[@EscanthonX]

Rob55Rod AKA Splitwirez Impossible to say for sure, but it does look like it..

[@splitwirez]

Patrick Richmond Oh...huh.

[@Pilotgeek]

I'd say so as well. It's like you can move the camera, but the perspective still draws relative to the camera's original position, leading to some really messed up visuals.

[@splitwirez]

***** Yeah, it kinda reminds me of what happens when viewing a 3D Ripper DX capture in Blender... ...anyone here even know what 3D Ripper DX is? .-.

[@hudsonball4702]

I still rank in the top 100 scores ever for this game worldwide. And this is without using the madcats controller lock button feature. It's was all rapid thumb mashing the fire button.

[@ninboy01]

I wish some better images of the Wolfen II existed.

[@Gamemaster-64]

you should have boundry break the tunnels for Andross. especially the ending. It felt like the tunnels were flipped and I don't see how going straight away from the boss you some how still able to run into the fire as if you took a U turn.

[@dogman15]

"Saved State to C:/Users/Derreck/Documents/Dolphin Emulator/StateSaves/NADE01.s05" Smart of you to do that for multiple easy filming opportunities.

[@austinschlatter4726]

100% remember seeing that shooting star as a kid. that's awesome you spotted it.

[@reinatycoon3644]

I love this game and with that this game and the snes one were a big part of my childhood along with classic Mario and Zelda. Thanks for this dear sir and have a great night.

[@XaneMyers]

Hmm...how is the camera freely movable on a Nintendo 64 game? The only thing I could come up with is having the Wii Virtual Console versions loaded into Dolphin, the only emulator that lets you do this! (More emulators should DO this!)

[@alexofawesome330]

I'm surprised no one found the chicken walker before this. Nice job!

[@Torturephile]

Didn't know the perspective could get screwed so bad in this game. I don't remember it.

[@billabobyt]

I know this is 9 months old, but I'm fairly sure it's because you're only actually meant to see the levels from one perspective, so they use lots of optical illusions to create more dynamic models.

[@The_D_ray]

It's a model illusion used in consoles in order to save up on the rendering space. The PS2 does it too.

[@warhammernerd52Daxx-Lorenzo898]

Will you be doing a video on *Star Fox Adventures* , and *Star Fox Assault* ?

[@yuriridley8144]

I am with you, man. That thing does look like a Walker. I'd love to see better how it looks on the 3DS version.

[@oreofudgeman]

Ive been wanting to see stuff like this since I was a kid! thank you.

[@MsCaptainChase]

Sitting here watching this in my favorite Arwing shirt. Need more Starfox.

[@cheersfan4328]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a giant Fox state behind you there? Would love to get one for myself if that's the case. Also love that game, it's my childhood. I remember doing loopings to crash backwards into buildings to mess up the camera, or loop during a boss Intro to mess it up too and stretch the boundaries. You're doing great work by showing us those different camera angles. Subscribed!

[@KingSangos]

That introduction is pure gold!

[@Gator159]

I'm here for the Starfox Metahumor. You should do a reevery visit on this game, same with Banjo kazooie/tooie. And blastcorps

[@DeathbyAKnife]

awesome video! I'd love to see a boundary break on Luigi's mansion next

[@amh7912]

watching them in order (mostly) and I really hope either star fox is the only one with vomit warping or you find a way to make it stop.

[@RedPoisonDragon]

So that's what it's like to look through the 4th dimension.

[@ClancyXanecrest]

I absolutely loved this, but a lot is missing that would be cool to see different angles of, like more of the levels and especially Andross.

[@crtusr]

The camera is funky because the game uses (if I am not mistaken) two-point perspective.

[@crtusr]

Or maybe the FOV perspective is fixed in a position relative to the arwing in a 3-point perspective.

[@berryfox7028]

5:48 he just manipulated himself like Andross does

[@theSato]

That was the chicken walker! :D The chicken walker was based on some enemy from StarFox 1 in turn Ithink. Really though, StarFox 2 was extremely fun for me, shame it wasn't released..

[@SleepyBoi__]

So a Roman walks into a bar, holds up 2 fingers and says "I'll take five".

[@xJC4Rx]

Shesez Awh yeah My homie reppin Red Bubble

[@Gamerguy8585]

Thing is though when you do play n64 games on emulators the 2d elements arent rendered well and that why you see really blurry pictures when it is supposed to be clear

[@ShadowKrakken]

Love the old vids, sucks they're not being suggested right now

[@powergannon]

That camera is going to make me barf. Weird that the fov changes like that

[@samward7922]

It moved so fast you couldn't keep up

[@JimBimBum]

Erick Zurita it's a star that's moving. That's what everyone forgets about a shooting star and they expect it to be yellow 😂

[@foxmccloud245]

I learned some things that not even I knew about before.

[@edfreak9001]

Okay so it's not just Kirby's Dream Collection on Dolphin that has a funky N64 freelook camera. N64 games are just bizarre.

i WAiTED SO LONG FOR THIS!!! THANKS!!!

[@mrtalkative91]

1:03 technically its not a "secret" third level, its the real third level. thats the way to get to the real ending

[@dhazedxz007]

I'm sorry, but when I had the captions on General Pepper said "Ah fuck we are in your day.." 6:43 xD

[@JoNB3x]

Hey how about cruising world or cruising exótica 64 ?

[@Shamsukz]

My apologies if someone already answered this before but, what software are you using to go out of bounds in the Nintendo 64 games? I'd really like to play around with the software and try it out on other obscure N64 titles that have yet to be reviewed.

[@zolika1351]

BTW Do you use Dolphin with the Freecam option + Wii VC to do this or something else?

[@slashu]

This was epic. What does it take for you to check out a game? This has made me think of several prospects

[@ShortFingeredShreder]

Wasn't there an option in the game that lets you pause without the menu? I could've sworn there was.

[@Brandon-hh1ng]

This show is so great!

[@Shikkusuful]

Some real technical issues on the camera with this one! Did you ever figure out why it's slanted so heavily? It might have to do with the angle the player views things at given you fly through/past these models and scenery. Next video!

[@BoundaryBreak]

It was a glitch in emulation unfortunately

[@cyndercc]
