Tricolor Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Yeah, I still cant get hang of it myself. That one and wipeout for playstation. I guess I'm too old for them newfangled speedy game tapes.
cyberbully Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Im pretty badass at fzero. I always played until i got 1st in all cups in all circuits. wipe out is just plain imbossible to play...how that franchise is still alive lets me know that somewhere, there is autism involved
PhilosipherStoned Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 SNES F Zero? I got good enough to beat it when I was younger, but F Zero X is is my favorite. It had a Battle Royale option where you just destroy the competition instead of racing. 1
GunStarHero Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Much as I liked F Zero, the only racing game I really loved was Burnout 3. God I want a remaster or port of that so badly.

The soundtrack licenses are keeping it from being done for whatever reason.

No Offspring = No Crazy Taxi
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 F-Zero was a good game but I was never good at it.

No Offspring = No Crazy Taxi Dude, I made a CD a few tears ago (well, probably creeping up on a couple of decades) with nothing but game music and this was #3. (Bloody Tears was #1....and Wicked Child #2 and still would be) Edited September 9, 2019 by Sho Minamimoto

I'm mainly familiar with Castlevania II's and Castlevania IV's, and even though I otherwise really like IV's soundtrack, I prefer II's version of Bloody Tears. I don't know / remember what other Castlevania games use that tune.

In all honestly, the game's not that crazy in single player. It's basically just F Zero with weapons (especially on the lower speed classes and on easy or normal enemy ai.). The higher speed classes will require mastery of the airbrakes and side shifting though. One important thing to note: You'll want to go into the control options and turn throttle sensitivity down all the way. Throttle sensitivity is a dumb feature and having it on anything other than the absolute minimum will hinder you. Also, never use pilot assist. Ever. It'll fuck up your racing line every time. The game really only gets crazy in multiplayer phantom class races (and on elite enemy ai.). I guess zone mode can be crazy sometimes too (at least once it goes beyond phantom class speeds).

What I'm getting out of this, is it takes a hell of a lot of effort, completely outside of practicing and getting better at the game, for the game to be playable.

All it takes is knowing that the throttle sensitivity feature is technically redundant and that pilot assist is the "I'm bad at racing games but driving around the track is fun and I don't care if I win" setting (similar to the assist mode in the latest Mario Kart game). That's not really much in the way of extra effort. Also, neither of these things render the game unplayable if ignored. Hell, you can still play the game at a high level even with throttle sensitivity left at 100%. You'll wear your controller out faster though (since leaving that setting at 100% means you have to hold the throttle button down pretty hard to accelerate at full capacity.). It's also not ideal if you are prone to getting hand cramps and what not. Edited September 9, 2019 by TrigunBebop
