@RandomSamurai13:
The Blue Falcon is hardly the fastest car, it's that GX has a catch: Every car can use a Turbo Boost that takes away your energy. You NEED to master it's use in order to win races, so not using it is... ehr... meh, like in the second video.

Whoever says F-Zero isn't hard hasn't played it. Sure, the easy levels of difficultly are easy, but at standard and over (Master is fucking insane), you're going to be shitting bricks at how absurdly hard it is. The story mode is hardest of all, and it even has a hard mode, which, although beatable (my brother did after about a week of 30+tries each for 10 levels), is fucking ridiculous.

I'm disappointed that the Phantom Road: Slimline Slits course wasn't included in the videos, that was the goddamned hardest track I've ever played ever because it's just so easy to die. Also, it was trippy as shit with the rainbow track and nebulous background.

The author also was either not trying in the videos, or just wasn't very good.

Wipeout always felt slow and unresponsive to me after I experienced F-Zero X, and GX raises the bar considerably.

I'm hesitant to play either of those. GX seems WAY too hard, because I play games to (attempt) to relax, so games that are so hard that people gloat about succeeding are not my thing (i.e. Ninja Gaiden or the like), while WipEout seems a bit slower and just not my type of game. I guess I'll stick to NFS and GRID for my racing, thanks. If anyone wants to try to convince me I'm wrong or point out the flaws in my thinking I'm all ears. Im just more of an FPS kinda guy anyways...

I think its clear that if nintendo were to make a new f zero using the ps3, it would be the greatest game ever made

Man F-Zero is balls out crazy. I remember that it took me forever to beat that. Though I've never played wipeout it seems like there's a certain art to playing it that takes time to perfect. But with F-zero, It's either you're good or you're not good. And it's way more fast paced. Like one of those casino levels.

The question is, will WIPEOUT HD still be being played five years from now? And, will WIPEOUT HD be better than the next generation F-Zero?
I think not.
