This is the one that eventually got turned into Starfox Adventures for the Gamecube.
The story I always heard was that Rare had been working on Dinosaur Planet which would star a character named Sabre, but Shigeru Miyamoto said it was similar enough to Star Fox that they should rework the game to be in the StarFox universe and have Fox be the star instead. Well that delayed the game enough that when it was close to release, Nintendo asked them to rework it a second time and release it on the GameCube instead. I can see why the relationship fell apart between Rare and Nintendo shortly after.
In this build, the character introduces himself as Fox McCloud, so I guess this is after they turned it into a Star Fox game, but before it moved to the Gamecube.

Geez, this would have been the pinnacle of graphics on the n64.

And here's very old footage from a build that still has Sabre in it, for comparison. Skip to 28:00 to see a Sebre section.
