1000 miles per hour racing

fine tuned control

amazing soundtrack

captain falcon

30 man races

hypnotic graphics

Challenging gameplay

F Zero GX is the best arcade racer of all time. The sense of speed in this game is amazing. Losing in a grand prix? Kill the other guy so he can't get any points. Need some more speed? Boost power comes directly out of your health gauge. High risk, High reward.

Watch this very tense video of the last story mode chapter. 1000 km/h, and if you fall off you have to start over.

Nintendo, F Zero ZX with 30 man online races. Pleeeeease.

Wipeout just seems sloppy compared to this game.

Wipeout is slow and has a weird center of gravity. The powerups make luck a factor, and you have to really slow down for tight turns. Also, the last two games have been on PSP. The analog stick just doesn't work well for racing games.

I would love a new F-zero, but I personally feel that Burnout 3 is the best racer ever.

I've alays preferred the Tokyo Extreme Racer series of racers - F-Zero was honestly too punishing for me.

I have honestly been looking everywhere for GX. Really need to play it... But yeah, I think Nintendo should just wait until next gen for another F-Zero. The main appeal for F-Zero is sense of speed, basically the visuals, and I don't think there would be that big of a jump for GX to F-Zero Wii.

I love this series and the previous one, sure, it was hard as hell, but who cares, it was fun.

Come to 3DS at least please.

Works a lot better than buttons or waggle.

Despite me sucking at GX, a new F-Zero would please me greatly. I could see the Wii controller actually working really well with it.

I don´t really know F-Zero that well,but I do know a lot about Wipeout and it seems to me(and judging by the video you posted)that the "driving" in wipeout seems to be a lot more technical.

Also,it´s not 1000mph racing,it´s kph,and in that regard,wipeout in phantom is just as fast.

You mention the graphics as well,and I feel that Wipeout in general looks better in terms of detail. In the video you link,the background seems to be a bit empty.

Also,I´ve seen some other F-Zero videos and the track designs seems in general to be much simpler,whereas in Wipeout they are usually a lot more technical.

I feel that Wipeout is the better franchise,but since I know very little about F-zero,you can take that statement with a grain of salt:P

I loved F-Zero andI'd love a sequel but I can't agree with ti being the best racer ever. I prefer circuit racing with cars on roads though so my preferences don't swing towards futuristic/unrealistic space race type games.

Still, out of those, F-Zero certainly got the most hours out of me :)

First release a new Star Fox & the god forsaken Pikmin 3 first, then I'll wait for F Zero.

Honestly, I just don't feel F Zero on the Wii. I'd rather like to see it on the 3DS instead.

I remember that game. Though sadly I can't remember if it had rubber band AI or not. It probably was one of my favorite racing games a long time ago.(though it was the PC version)

Unfortunately its probably not going to happen. It won't be F-Zero if its not ridiculously hard, and it won't sell well if its not accessible, and Nintendo won't make it if it can't be accessible.

well always found the wipeout series to be better... from gameplay to visuals to obviously the music & slick presentation...

Hopefully we'll get a 'proper' Wipeout title for PS3..

I agree, it's my top racer ever too! But could a Wii sequel possibly improve? You wouldn't get better graphics, the gameplay is already pretty perfect, and at best an online mode would be... functional. Maybe next gen!

TC,

why did you make this thread?

Is there rumours ofan FZero sequel?

Is there something you know we should?

because if there is I'm thinking of dusting my Wii and practice me some Fzero!

IMO Fzero X for the N64 was my favourite- had more dangerous courses and the sense of speed was more thrilling especially when you had very little energy left.

The breaking trakc records in the race course Silence track in Jack division is unreal.

since we are talking about futuristic hover games for their respective platform.

Gamecube FZero

PS2 Wipeout

Xbox Quantum Redshift

Quantum Redshift was definately up there with the sensation of great speed and some nice road textures- however wasn't as popular.

+Awesome environment details and water effects

+I think was the fastest hover car game of it's time especially in RedShift class

+Nice presentations

+able to upgrade sheilds, weapons and boost time

+4 player split screen

-boring generic characters

-not enough liveliness in the environment making racing the tracks a lonely experience

-un inspired soundtrack

-all the vehicles were mostly the same

-The weapons were not distinguishable enough

It was developed by Curly Monsters and didn't really sell that well considering it was the best Wipeout/FZeroesque series on the Xbox.

I want a sequel to both FZero and Quantum RedShift

Wipeout is slow and has a weird center of gravity.

omg it so does.. I first played it and was like... wtf... Why is this.. so weird? Like it feels so odd just too turn for some reason
