The funny thing is...THEY BUILT THE GUNNER ROOM ITSELF WITH THE LADDER!!! IT IS THERE BEHIND YOU BEFORE YOU BOARD THE COCKPITT!!! Why build it if you are not gonna use it?! They have like a grate blocking the entrance so you cant go on the ladder but they still built it. Like a slap in the face to those stuck in the gunner role
It wouldnt though. Everyone who has seen a Star Wars film knows the gunner is always seprerate from the cockpitt. And this would have encouraged multiple rides so people can sit in the gunner seats instead of the cockpitt
To me it just sounds like they’re trying to say that you’re not sitting in front of a static video like Star Tours, but an actual game that reacts to what you do like what you’re saying with Super Mario..and every other video game in existence. ie. nothing special haha
There’s even a surprise throwback at the end if you’re feeling nostalgic
With Mario its a pre-rendered world that has a specific defined set of physics and game movement. For example a turtle or mushroom will only walk a certain distance and then walk back.
I for one would not gripe about that. In fact I would praise that and thank them for having the cahones to actually allow you to sit in the gunner seats because it would be film accurate. It would be cool if 4 members of your party go to the cockpitt while the 2 gunners head to the gunner seats in the other room and you all share the same ride except they control the simulator flight movements from the cockpitt and you control the guns from another room and have the headsets to communicate with the cockpitt. That would be sooo much bettet and entertaining than having to push a button on the side that forces you to take your eyes off the screen ahead and makes you turn your body in am uncomfortable way. With the gunner seats the screen is always in front of you amd you can sway the seat. That would be better than what is currently on the ride now. And I would applaud it
But none of the mountain rides are trying to make you think you are on real life mountains where Smuggler's Run wants to make you BELIEVE you are on the one and only Mellenium Flacon
Sure they are. Big Thunder is trying to make you believe you’re in a runaway mine car. Matterhorn is trying to make you believe you’re sliding down the Swiss Alps in a bobsled. Splash Mountain is trying to make you believe you’re going through the backwoods of the Deep South. Space Mountain is trying to make you believe you’re in a ship in space.
Would you just look at that?! At present, this is the most innovative ride in the world. Now, we wait for ROTR.
From Reddit
All the Mario games are rendered in real time, otherwise the physics and the game engine would not be able to react to your button presses in real time that the console itself processes.
90's kids movies, you say?

Source: I’ve had almost every console since N64
Edit: on a side note, Super Mario Odyssey on Switch feels like the closest thing since Super Mario 64
I guess I'm looking at from the perspective of the original Mario games. I can see your point with the N64 and beyond versions. But with the earlier versions the consoles didn't have enough power or the graphics capability to render real time, especially in the way Falcon does.
NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. all rendered all their games in real time. If all the prerendered glitches would be impossible and tricks like making the background black to hide the fact that the big bosses characters were part of the background layer (due to the size limitations of sprites) in games like Blaster Master or faking reflections would be unneeded.
