Vela needs more fanart.

The redpill about JFG is setting the control scheme to "expert" on the option menu.
And not sure why JFG isn't more popular, it got great reviews back then though. I guess people just get scared about the tribal hunting. tribal hunting isn't even bad, it's a fun challenge. The bullshit is finding all the ship parts.

idk, but N64 had some amazing prerendered promo art

Glad it helped. It's a really unique kind of third person shooter mixed with platforming, personally it's my favorite Rare game on the N64.
This video is also a good watch and helps understand the concept behind the game better

As >>3684404 said, it's only a "collecthaton" on the last 1/3rd of the game, and if by "collecthaton" we understand having to collect tribals and a few ship parts (which are well hidden).
It's not like on DK64 which makes you collect green bananas, red bananas, yellow bananas, purple bananas, etc.

JFG is definitely more of an action shooting game. The tribals only add the challenge of having to rescue them because they're often in the crossfire so you might accidentally kill them (or let enemies kill them), and if you get only 1 of them killed, you have to restart the level.

Went with Jet Force Gemini.

It's really nice and personally one of my favorite Rare games. It was developed by the Blast Corps team (another of my favorite games of theirs).

I've been replaying it recently and it's still fun as fuck to blow up these insects and dismember their limbs all around. I love the weapon variety.

The main thing to note is that you will need to go to the option screen and change the control scheme from normal to Expert. Expert controls will let you move in all 8 directions while on aiming move, it changes the game greatly for the better.

The only downside and what most people complain about is the tribal collectan, but it's only required after you've beaten 70% of the game, it's not something that you need to do all the time while you're playing.

The multiplayer modes are also great fun.
And let's not forget Vela's titty jiggle animations, oh baby.

I think going back to previous levels with different characters and finding new paths to gather the ship parts, as well as finding new levels is nice. But the tribal rescuing should have been optional and not mandatory.

I like to believe this game is a memorable part of Rare's history but I've never played it.

Is it?

Stay on topic.

There should be a containment board for shitposters in general.

I'm not a big fan of FPS games, but I will. Someday.

Vela is a cutie, Juno looks creepy, yes.
Rare's art is a bit hit and miss with me. I'm not a big fan of Banjo-Kazooie for example (>>2314569 this is so true), but JFG has a cool sci-fi setting, cool enemy design and the different planets have interesting locations and atmosphere. Maybe the weakest thing is the human characters and of course the damn tribals who look like ewoks.
