You're not getting Fzero.

Spoiler

unless FAST neo racing sells a million

 

[Rich!]

I dunno if I agree with the OP.

Literally all they need to do is re-release F-Zero GX in full 1080p along with 30 player online and a new cup.

That's it.

F-Zero (SNES) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all later imposters

Same can be said for the SNES/Genesis games in most franchises.

 

[Decoyman]

First thought in my head: A straight HD + online port of GX would be a mess. 30 cars snaking madly, lagging, and pinballing off one another nonstop? Might be better to stick with Dolphin.



Now, for my elevator pitch:

-Make a course creator the centerpiece, a la Trackmania. Nintendo curates the best ones and rotates them into the main GP and online modes, along with a mix of new and classic tracks. Every couple months, kick off a new "season" with new courses, forcing players to experiment with different and offbeat builds to stay competitive.

(Of course, include a "free race" mode where any/all user-created and downloaded courses are playable too. Knowing Nintendo they'll probably make it friends-only or some nonsense, but eh.)

-Players can acquire car parts and mods from 4 sources: in-game shop, Pokemon-style "events" where rare/exclusive parts are given away, trades with friends, and as "trophies" from destroyed rival cars. (Parts 'lost' when your car is wrecked can still be "rebuilt" with in-game credits, so no perma-loss. But maybe throw in a "hardcore" mode where's it gone once, gone forever? )


-Graphically...how about a throwback to the style of the SNES comic, with a slightly heavier/inkier look? And title it "NEW F-Zero Grand Prix" or somesuch.

-3DS only at first, glorious 1080p60 WiiU port if it succeeds.

GAF, your thoughts?

Everyone is always talking about F-Zero returning... what about Wave Race?!

 

[RedNumberFive]

Please no ugly-ass fonts. They ruined what was otherwise a perfect game.

I'll take a 1080 too if we're just throwing out lapsed Nintendo "sports" franchises. Maybe a Ken Griffey?

 

[ChainsawFilms]

Played MK8 over the weekend, immediate F-Zero flashbacks.

How does it look on Dolphin? That may be the closest to an HD version we'll get for a while

I've wanted to create an Future Racer for ages, so I recently checked out all the old games (Extreme G, FZero, Wipeout and some more obscure and mostly older games). I have to say Extreme G has always been my absolute favoute, however gameplay wise, games like F Zero GX or the last Wipeout games are just leagues ahead. Especially GX has really awesome tracks and the speed is so awesome!

Anyway, I've been wondering what people want the most from a game out nowadays. Just upgraded graphics and online features or what else would there be?

 

[joedan]

I remember when that happened to me. I was like, "WTH?! Did I just die because of pure awesomeness?" I tested it, and sure enough, I went flying. Never had I had so much joy in dying.

Exactly you had to tone down your awesome in order to win. lol.

Your best (only) chance at a F-Zero revival would be a bonus level in Bayonetta 2, like the OutRun and Space Harrier levels of the first game.

 

[KojiKnight]

Hard to tell silly OP titles from snarky mod edit titles sometimes

I wouldn't be against a new F-zero... but as an owner of most of the older ones... I just can't see myself buying a new one. The niche sub-genre of arcade racers is dead, and I don't see a whole lot than can be done to fix it.

 

[TheSlySoul]

You can pretend F-Zero will get rebooted if I can pretend Star Fox will get rebooted.

I played F-Zero GX for the first time yesterday afternoon and I have to say that if there is another I hope they keep the cheese factor from the story stuff. An art style that leans more towards the anime is something that I think could look pretty awesome but I wouldn't mind if it maintained the same styled as GX.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I want FZero and Star Fox to come back. But they don't seem to sell enough to warrant big budget sequels. So...my thought...and I am so sorry for saying this but...F2P. Make it F2P and charge for ships/tracks (though there should be a full priced version that contains everything). They should hold off until the next console though seeing as how the Wii U is dead.

 

[elektrixx]

I want death stare Luigi in it.

 

[nkarafo]

F-Zero X > F-Zero GX

Yeah, I went there.

I was there, with you.

Steel Diver: Sub Wars with better single player missions would be a really spectacular model for star fox to take. Maybe F-zero too.

I apologize in advance if my English fails me here and there, I'm Italian and it was 2 AM here when i wrote this wall of text, please understand.

Lol. Half of GAF's native speakers wish their English was this good.
