I found this to be a good vid, right up until I saw those Canadians running around pointing at nothing.

 

(I don't know if they're really Canadians or not)

I know this is supposedly a low-budget production and a "testing phase" parody, but I feel really bothered by the fact that there is a lot of action and destruction, and only two people in the entire city have noticed it!

There's no horrible Starfox Fan Film like there is with Sonic and Mega Man yet, but watching this video sort of reminded me of it. I do like that they used the Assault Great Fox and took some liberties with it's weapon systems, but above all the fact that people are just calmly driving down the city while this big ass space battle is going on overhead is probably my favourite part.

I'm now waiting for the silent Doug Walker cameo. Thanks Shaper.

Oh, come on. This is fucking great. In the face of everybody moping around over how Star Fox is SO OBSCURE AND FORGOTTEN YOU GUYS, this guy, out of nowhere, just whips out a fanfilm himself and gets several thousand views in a couple days. That's great, kudos to this guy.

 

e: also

I thought they did? Though maybe I'm actually just insane. I could've sworn in one of the games it shot lasers from its wingtips as well as the cannons. Weird.

So far as I know, its always only had the two main cannons

 

 

Carrier vessels typically are light on armament to allow more internal space for fighter storage so this makes sense... Although I question the practicality of mounting only forward guns on a large vessels as opposed to smaller-anti fighter weapons mounted along the hull to defend the hangars.

You underestimate just how oblivious to their surroundings city drivers can be. :-P

The animation is great for that matter!

Alright, it's not super realistic. But I'd like to keep in mind that this is fan made, and although some fan works are cheaper than others, I think this one in particular was pretty decent. The special effects looked nice, even though they looked unrealistic when placed in a realistic environment. It looked like effort was put into it.

 

I personally had a genuine smile on my face through watching this.
