Alright, so having played what I've been able to and looking through videos of people glitching around to make progress, it seems to me like most of this game actually made it into Star Fox Adventures. Like sure, the story received some tweaks, you barely play as Krystal and a couple of areas were removed but it really doesn't seem like it's that much more different than any other game differs from the early versions. If anything, SFA is more like DP than Half-Life 2 is like the early versions of itself.

Let's be real, let's pretend the game was never reworked into a Star Fox game, what changes? Considering the devlopment would still have been moved to Gamecube, most of the cut content would still have been cut. Here's the potential differences between SFA and a Gamecube DP:
>No Arwing stages (obviously)
>Sabre and the Swap mechanic might have remained
>Drakor Boss fight would have been at the end and maybe better than in SFA
>The cut areas might still have been around but probably not.

That's it, in terms of gameplay it would essentially be the same. Story elements like Randorn might have remained but the story is generally the same in SFA as in DP. In DP it's Drakor who tricks Scales and in SFA it's Andross, that's kind of it.

Are we really going to pretend SFA is drastically different from DP when the reality just doesn't back it up? Like yeah, sucks that Rare was forced to insert an established character for marketing purposes but it's not like DP was replaced by a totally different game.
