Thread: New F-Zero?

  1. #1

    Default New F-Zero?

    I probably should've shown you guys this a while ago.







    I'm well aware that the screenshots and the article is probably fake, but at least the screenshots are believable enough (I'm using the first screenshot as a background right now), seeing how the quality is better than that of F-Zero GX's.

    So if a new F-Zero is coming out, what are you wanting from it and what system are you hoping it'll be for?

    At the very least I'm hoping for all 30 F-Zero X characters to return, since they've been there for every F-Zero game (except for the ones with very limited characters to choose from like F-Zero, F-Zero 2 BS, and Maximum Velocity). As for the characters from AX, GP Legends, and Climax, I'd understand if none of them made it in since the anime is different from the main storyline, and the AX characters don't completely belong to Nintendo. As for tracks, I'm hoping all 8 of the original F-Zero tracks (or track types) make it in, as well as Death Wind (I still don't understand why they got rid of that track, unless they didn't like its soundtrack). I also hope that the tracks won't be as bland looking as the original or F-Zero X. I mean, you could hardly tell that you're moving fast since there's no track details to use as a reference. Only in F-Zero GX did I realize how insanely fast the vehicles were going. For music I really hope they remix the old songs for old tracks. They did a really awesome job with Mute City, Big Blue, and Red Canyon in F-Zero GX, and I'd really want to see them do that for tracks like Port Town, Lightning, Illusion, and Fire Field (I'd even be okay with them using the Fire Field music straight from Brawl).

    I'm hoping they'll make F-Zero for the Wii. I'll be okay with it being on DS, though they won't be able to utilize the Touch Screen much (seriously, I don't think that you could handle the Stylus, control pad, the accelerator, and the L and R buttons for sharp turns all at once while driving around 1500 kph). I personally don't think Wi-Fi is a good idea, since the speed of the races and the potential lag could really ruin the races.

    It's overdue. However, before I grab my ticket for the hype train, I'll see if this game pops up at E3.

    Edit: Oh, it didn't show up at E3. :x

    Even if they were supposedly "meant for the E3 2007 show," those "unpolished render screenshots" are hilariously, obviously fake.

    I would like a new F-Zero for Wii, though. And more than that, a proper Star Fox game, too.

    Eh, how so?





    The quality and detail is similar enough to me.

    The geometry and detail of both the Blue Falcon and the environment are beyond amateurish. Also consider that this has only been "reported" by a small no-name site like "Project COE." They're probably just looking for some hits.

    The third screenshot is ripped from a scene entered into a POVray raytracing competition. I'm not sure what bearing this has on the article, but I'd imagine that the whole thing is fake.

    Here's the original image:

    i haven't played F-Zero since the SNES and i was dissapointed that it didn't have two players. Haven't played any of the games since. I can't recall how good it was and if it could stand up to the test of time. I'm not really sure about a new entry for the new gen, but since Brawl came out I was hoping for new entries in somoe of the old favorites.

    I guess you're right, seeing how you're probably more knowledgeable when it comes to picture editing, and the fact that o_O has confirmed where the original image of the 3rd screenshot came from. Still, I've seen much worse edited pictures.
