Star Fox Event Horizon - Fox's Training

[@axsprime]

It has that feeling of your dad taking you out to the range for the first time. I love it.

[@TheDJBrett12]

I like how this training session has been redone and takes place in Papetoon's orbit. Alex does a great job as James too.

Oh that's who's voicing him, ok 👌👍

[@Ratman1029]

Alright, the voice acting initially caught me off-guard since I got so used to it not being there. That being said, the voice actor for James did an excellent job.

[@tmr3volver]

"Gimbawhat?" "Gimbled, Peppy. They let you freely aim your shots even if you're not flying in the same direction you want to shoot." "Uh, I don't think I want that, can I turn that off?"

Thankfully, no icky motion controls here, just auto-aim toward your lock-on target :P

[@andrewlong9799]

I have to say, hearing James being such an encouraging figure to his son was nice. We hear a lot about him and his impact on Fox, but we never really learn about him as a person in the games. I just realized that I had a reaction to him telling his son he did a good job, and makes me long for the days when my father used to tell me that, and how that made me feel. Good stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@Luke_Danger]

A good tutorial adds a lot to the initial experience. Especially something like this to give us a reason to see why Fox looks up to his dad so much, since we won't really get the chance to see James during the main campaign.

[@jero37]

I agree, plus since most of us interested in this project are already thoroughly invested in Star Fox lore, having normal interactions between Fox and James is just all the more heart warming. Obviously this should still be an optional training program the way it was presented in StarFox 64, but you get to have it as a sort of fond memory of Fox's instead of the more arcade game feel of the N64 game's familiarization level.

[@DylantheKnightOwl]

Words cannot describe how excited I am for this game.

[@kaitouknight3428]

Never thought I hear "Do a barrel roll!" From James himself, but here we are.

[@lifevest1]

With how the SF64 music sounds, it really makes this feel like a flashback dream Fox is having to back when he was training.

[@Thoralmir]

"Fox... You're going the wrong direction." "Says you dad! I'm taking this baby to Space Vegas!"

[@alexschott2092]

10:56 - As if this project wasn't already enough of a fantastic love letter to _Star Fox,_ now you've included "Godspeed" as part of the training mode. This feels like a cherry on top of an amazing sundae that is still getting better and better.

[@PokeGuy6]

I love the fact that James is teaching his son how to fly an arwing. No wonder Fox is considered one of the best arwing pilots around! Also great voice acting there for whoever is voicing James 😀

[@AvarikVonNom]

What a wonderful training mission design, and I especially like the utilization of the older Arwing here as a Mark 1 variant, clever. I only recently started following this project and I'm quite impressed already, keep it up!

[@mill2712]

My goodness I never expected to see you here! Glad to see your interest in this project too! For those not in the know, Avarik is a bit of a notable figure in the Ace Combat fan community and is also working on his own project.

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

I like the mark 1 is the SNES Arwing

[@Animeman284]

That was really good for a tutorial and James' VA did an amazing job voicing him. You could hear the amusement in some of the lines he was saying, especially when complementing Fox and when telling him during the weapons part to not aim at him.

[@metaljacket8128]

"Do a barrel roll."

[@randomfox7261]

I like that the games training is part of the story technically instead of just random game mode

[@Tostemac]

Man now I wish this training mode was in the original n64 training mode. This is a very touching moment with James McCloud and Alexander Ross did an amazing job bringing this character to life outside of James' very few lines, looking forward to what comes next!

[@greenrob8793]

Extremely amazingly well done with this part, i remember this from long ago, but look at it now, refined improved, and now the Voice actor, EXTREMELY SUPER. Alexander Ross, if you are seeing this, AMAING JOB. And how it works so wholesome, like some saying a Father taking there son out on the Range, and why Fox looks up to James, and at the end, the music really fits for Fox's final test, and what James says, that is really wholesome, though that might be the last thing he ever says to his son, we all know what happens. Anyway keep doing a wonderful job.

[@AndrossSF0]

Ah, hearing the familiar hum of the 'ole Arwing brings back good memories. Everything is soo well thought out and the story and the way the various scenarios play out feels like what we'd expect out of a Star Fox film. I just love the idea of James training his son over their home planet, just feels soo calming. Everything up until now has been excellent and I can not wait until fans can play this for themselves. Amazing job to the VAs too! "Keep up the great work!"

[@Stellerman7]

I haven't heard that SNES Corneria remix in a very long time, love how the beat dropping matched the final part of the training starting. I really look forward to when this game fully releases :-)

[@Videogameboy1989]

Great work on the training level. I notice that you accidentally misspelled instincts when James said his famous line: "Never give up, trust your instincts!" And I love your remix of Corneria music from Star Fox for the SNES.

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

Wow. I remember seeing this mission ages ago, and it's amazing how far this has come. BTW, is the world they're near is Papetoon? Or another world? Also Alexander Ross sounds great as James McCloud.

[@Videogameboy1989]

Its most likely Papetoon as it is Fox's home planet at least in the original Star Fox comic that was released with Nintendo Power magazines back in the early 90s

[@UndyingNephalim]

It's Papetoon.

[@Blazieth]

@@Videogameboy1989 Neat thing is, Fox claims it as his homeworld in his appearance in Starlink, too, which otherwise borrows *heavily* from his N64 appearance.

[@vulpes6144]

This is brilliant: a fun, easy to understand and compelling tutorial that ALSO builds up character. Simply brilliant.

[@TheDr502]

James is right, Fox will become the leader of his own Star Fox team, and he'll arguably become a better pilot than him. But, sadly, James won't get to see it happen. James is like Batman's parents. No matter what continuity of Star Fox we're talking about, his death is an essential part of Fox McCloud's backstory. I feel bad for him. 😥

[@jordanfgfox7237]

The ending though almost had me great job

[@dogymacdogface.478]

Thank you so much for making this!! I downloaded, but I ended up trying to learn how to play from a bland menu with lists upon lists of stuff to learn. I'm a weak man, so I didn't fully grasp it. Cant wait for this to be implemented, if it is not already.

[@ghostr3x1wolf50]

This is really good can’t wait to see the rest this is amazing work I like the part where the class theme comes in ^^

[@aramisdagaz9]

The drop of the SNES Corneria mission theme when James lets you off the leash is such an awesome moment. The 64 main menu theme is also a great choice here.

[@jero37]

Why in the hell do I get so damn emotional about just basic moments of James McCloud doing stuff with Fox? I do get the tingles every time I hear his lines from Star Fox 64 Venom II. "You've become so strong, Fox." is always such a boost.

[@ItatsuMagnatsa]

I'm glad to see a Fully Rendered 3D Model of the Classic Arwing Mark 1. Nintendo doesn't even have such Respect for it. They just popped in the Old Polygon Version of it in Starfox Zero when you use the Fox Amiibo. Didn't even give it the Decency of an Updated 3D Model.

[@CommanderStarr298]

Personally I liked Jame's old voice in your previous builds of this game. He sounded like a anthropomorphic Qui Gon Jinn. But whoever is voicing him now is at least doing a decent job. Can't wait to hear the voices of the other characters in time 😉👍

[@princessmarlena1359]

It’s so cool to have James training us. Whoever did his voice did an excellent job.

[@Aristocles22]

"Don't touch the controls until you are told to do so" is such a Freespace thing to say. And it brings up the question of how the pilot got into space without touching the controls. :D

James can remote control the Arwing, he does it several times in the tutorial.

[@HotRodMuha]

I really like the training session. The Mark I Arwing that looks like the Arwing from the Super NES game is spectacular

[@davidjellofox]

Enemies are too hard to see at a distance and the tracking hud needs a little bit larger icons in my oppinion.

What is the Mark I Arwing based on? The triangular engine exhaust reminds me of the original StarFox for the Super Nintendo.

[@Jason-Skywalker]

I absolutely love this and the different mechanics it adds to the experience, especially how quick and efficient the U-turn is compared to the original. But am I the only one who thinks that the R-Wing should remain static at all times unless the player moves it forward, followed by a normal acceleration *and* a boost? It wouldn't only make the ship feel more like a natural evolution of a sci-fi ship (not needing to worry about constant movement like real airplanes) but it would be so much easier to navigate that way, and make all-range battles easier for taking down foes, instead of having to circle around them whenever the ship moves by it.

[@UndyingNephalim]

Having the Arwing move at all times was a concession to make the game's controls all fit on a Gamecube controller.

[@Jason-Skywalker]

@@UndyingNephalim What does that mean? Is the Gamecube controller simply incapable of that function? I'm fine with that if that's the case, but does that imply that there can be different controller settings if the game were to be ported for (or emulated for) other consoles and/or controller systems? Like if I were to play it with a mouse and keyboard, or with a PS3 controller, or even on the Nintendo Switch or something. I don't own a Gamecube controller, so I wouldn't be able to use that exclusively anyway. 😆

[@UndyingNephalim]

@@Jason-Skywalker No I mean that there are insufficient buttons on most controllers to accommodate too many functions. I feel many of the other abilities of the Arwing are more important, and considering the Arwing is always moving in every other Star Fox game it seemed like the obvious feature to axe to make room for others.

Man, I remember looking at Shadows Of Lylat back in childhood, as well as all four Arwing models being playable (would've been if it weren't ca canceled) Which means that if the SNES Arwing is Mk. I, and the standard Arwing is Mk. II, then the Arwing from Assault would most definitely be Mk. III

[@UndyingNephalim]

Yeah all four were, and I stuck with that for this! Your naming of those three Arwings is correct.

[@Dragonking-bj1tg]

Hope you also add a option for using a controller for those that play that style better then on the keyboard tho there are others that like using the keyboard better for this. Just for thoughts for when it's fully done and ready for all fans to play this

[@FastTquick]

I wonder how it will be possible to fit all the controls onto a gamepad. I’ve never played flying games with a keyboard.
