Another beloved classic from the 5th Generation of videogame consoles is getting a native PC port. This time, the famous on-rails shooter for the Nintendo 64, Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars depending on the region), is getting a proper PC port made by the same developers that brought Ocarina of TIme to PC.
"Starship" is the codename given to the PC port of the game, made by the same people behind the Ship of Harkinian, specifically Sonic Dreamcaster and Samplywx, since they were the ones who worked on this specific PC port of Star Fox 64. The developers from Ship of Harkinian are now going by the name of Harbour Masters 64, and a few days ago, speedrunner Rakanai livestreamed a complete run of the game showcasing a beta of the native PC port, and while Titania had some bugs and glitches, those issues are expected to be resolved in due time.
The pros from the Ocarina of Time PC (Ship of Harkinian) port could apply to Star Fox 64 as well, with the expected 60 fps without speedup glitches tied to animations, proper widescreen and even ultra wide support, higher resolutions, support for mods and even a fanmade remaster are within possibilities once the PC port is finally available.
While the PC port of Star Fox 64 still doesn't have a final release date, the team are expecting a proper build of the game to be available on December for users to play. Those interested in playing the PC port, remember that you will be required to provide your own dump of Star Fox 64 in order to create the PC build.
