StarFox 64 – Lylat Wars [N64 - Beta]
(6 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...
During the early stages of development, Starfox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europe) looked very different from the final version. The level design was much more meager, lots of details, from the textures to the polygonal backgrounds, were much simpler and more blurred. Some enemies were slightly different, the HUB on the screen (energy, radar, maps etc..) was changed various times before reaching the final version.

Translation
During the early stages of development, Starfox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europe) seemed very different from the final version. The level design was much more meager, lots of details, from textures to polygonal construction, were much simpler and more approximate. Initially there were no backgrounds and come in various titles of the early years of the N64, a strange mist filled the more remote areas. Some enemies were slightly different, the icons in the screen (like that of ‘power of’ speeding, radar, maps etc..) Evolved in stages, before reaching the final.

Are you able to scan that poster Marx? Or maybe those could be found somewhere online!

Sorry Moko.
Unfortunately don’t I own a scanner.
But, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. It’s only four shots, and they all look pretty much final. Just a different hud. To give you an idea. The 24th and 9th pictures above are on the same poster.
