The gameplay mechanics of Command are better fleshed out than Assault's, but you see all there is to offer by the time you finish one out of nine routes. Even if you strip Assault down to only its Arwing sections it's a huge step down from 64.

That being said, I still like the ideas of Assault just fine, it's more suitable for a reimagining than another retread of 64

I have to admit that I actually think that all of the rail shooter levels in Assault are pretty good (except that one part in the Aparoid core where enemies snipe you from behind where you can't see them, but hell that could also happen in 64). Also 64 had missions too that weren't that interesting. Like how nearly all the freerange missions except maybe Bolse just consist of shooting useless enemies for 40 seconds until a boss shows up.

Also yeah the biggest problem Command's endings have is that you literally have to play trough the stylus gimmick game that is pretty repetitive on its own nine times just to unlock random wattpad fanfiction.

Also while I respect Imamura I have no idea what he was thinking while writing the game, especially since he also was the co-producer of Assault.
 
New Event Horizon Update, haven't watched it yet but will after posting this.

EDIT: I just finished watching it, and it looks pretty impressive so far in my opinion. The only thing that bothers me is that mullet he gave Fara, it looks really ugly and I don't know why he added it. If there's one thing about Event Horizon that I'm not a big fan of, it's that the character models have always looked a bit uncanny valley-ish to me. I'd still much rather have them over the ugly-ass photorealistic Disney remake-esque designs in the new Nintendo game, but Mr. Event Horizon's character modelling skills are clearly quite amateur and it can definitely get somewhat distracting at times.

Fair enough, I can understand that. It's probably just a matter of preference.

I don't think that the Nintendo models look great, but they look as good as they can for being as ungainly as they are. The textures and shading masks look great especially on the fur and feathers and the animation rigs are very well done. And that's not getting into the environmental graphics which are also beautiful in the Nintendo game in a way they simply aren't with Event Horizon. The Event Horizon models look baseline better because they're more traditional Western style anthro characters (think Robin Hood or the old Hannah Barberra cartoons) but the texture work, the shading masks, and the animation are all subpar and amateur. I wasn't being hyperbolic when I said that they remind me of badly done Skyrim mods, I wouldn't be surprised to see these models on Nexus. The voice acting is also really subpar in Event Horizon, particularly with Katt and Krystal. It's about as good as it's going to get using amateur VAs, and presumably cheap ones at that, but a good sound design can genuinely make up for poor graphics. Try watching something shot on VHS but with digitally recorded/remastered sound sometime, sure the video is crunchy but the sound being crisp makes it much more watchable and I think that this is terminally overlooked when discussing video games.
