F-Zero 99 has proven the viability of OG FZero gameplay on for modern fans.
My thoughts:
Fans are going to say “This means you should make a new #FZero successor to FZeroGX”.
I’m going to disagree.
What this actually means is you should make F-Zero Maker as a successor to Mario Maker.
The OG tracks are 2D and simple, they could very easily be hand-made by players in an editor.
Not release a game for another 20 years. We just got one after all.
My biggest pipe dream is an F-Zero with an extensive single player mode that's not even a racing game but plays like a Yakuza game instead. The series has such amazingly stupid characters that it would be a shame if nothing was ever done with them. I want Captain Falcon beating up people in Mute City in that over-the-top Yakuza style.
Good point. The lore of the game is that these are all crooks and bounty hunters and this racing thing is a side-gig. A racing-themed science-fiction open-world game is an obvious fit for that.
I just learned about this game from this post, as an old head i just have to say whaaaaaaaat!!!
Glorious chaos. The game eases you into it with a few races with only 10 or 20 computer-controlled opponents. The first true 99 race was astonishing. I like the way they have everyone abreast in a standing start, and then spread them out with a few obstacles before funneling them onto the actual track so it becomes a rolling start, but without random chance determining the start order.
