Does /vr/ like F-Zero X? How many of you make your own tracks?

It's a much better game than F-Zero GX, I don't know why newfags liked that game.

Seriously we've gone two who gaming generations without a new F-Zero. We're due.

Speed and crazy tracks.
X feels like a proper middleground from the original's zippy arcade racing and GX's insane loop-de-loops and wild tubes.
I think GX is better, but X most definitely has a better art-style and soundtrack.

I fucking love F-Zero X. I don't make my own tracks because I don't own a 64DD, or an Everdrive, but I haven't even finished the last cup in highest difficulty anyway.

GX came out in 2003. You don't have to be a newfag to love it, gramps.

Honestly surprised we never got a re-release of X with the expansion kit content at some point. Online play could be nice but I don't know how a game designed around 30 racers on the track would translate to it, shit would be utter chaos with even just 8-12 real players or something doing all kinds of tricks.

Hard to see where a new game would go or even build off, X and GX are mechanically solid games and I'm not sure if a 3D sequel could hold a candle to either.

>>4781321
You can still make custom tracks with some software and inject them into ROMs by replacing the original tracks, but I've only had one friend ever look into that. Otherwise one version of Project 64 at the very least has working 64DD emulation.

>> No.4781776

Advanced techniques are more fun and feel more satisfying to pull off and go fast. Also how does liking a game from 2003 make someone a newfag? Get with the times grandpa.

>> No.4781789

I personally think the more aggressive gameplay of X is more satisfying, but GX is damn good too.

>> No.4781797

>>4781789
I think if I was going to play the games completely normally I would definitely pick X, but in the end I enjoy doing the tricks in GX more. X is a bit more vanilla in that regard and dives aren't as fun to do imo.

There's no reason to play X when GX exists, which has far superior audiovisual direction and much less broken programming and gameplay.

It will play like F-Zero without the advanced techniques and glitches making it feel like a kart racer. Wipeout handling is far too difficult for Nintendo playing casuals and games relying on glitches for their depth is a big nono in today's shitty industry that cares about polish and mass appeal over fun

Don't know the importance of polish.
I agree with you though. They won't make a game that requires a high level of skill to complete anymore.

>> No.4786253

I like it.

I'm too shit to beat any of the higher difficulties on the regular cups, or even the lower difficulties on the DD cups. But I still like ti.

I haven't played through most of the GBA games but it's probably my fave in the series. Hope it comes back some day but i'm not going to hold my breath.

Also, I hate the GX art style and I want those weird wire mesh roads to get the fuck out.

Is it important though? F-Zero X and GX have got to be the most unpolished messy games Nintendo has ever published yet they're also the best ones not in spite of that but because of it. Nintendo's way of polishing is to homogenize and neuter everything until you're left with a bland product, look at what they've done to 3D Mario and Smash Bros.

>> No.4787918

>>4786298
>look at what they've done to 3D Mario and Smash Bros.

With Smash I feel that the devs haven't really done anything meaningful to its core gameplay since Melee, instead just stacking more characters and overpowered items in the mix or changing game modes around on top of just fucking around with the physics. Probably going to happen again with whatever's coming out this year, shit is basically becoming the Nintendo equivalent of Worms.

nope it's goofy manchild drivel that removes everything skillful about high level racing by allowing sliding along the fucking walls and only being able to get good times through the most ridiculous glitch tricks imaginable.

only because you're a no skill pleb dadcunt who likes the illusion of being good in a game so goofy and stupid you can slide along the fucking walls with no punishment, there's no execution or skill to be seen, it's goofy drivel for mangina soi fucks.

No this opinion is pure soi incarnate, snaking's supposedly an intended mechanic and it's the worst mechanic ever put in a racing game. Meanwhile momentum turbo slides are supposed to be a bug but they're actually fun.

If by nintendo standards you mean messy and unpolished then I agree, cause the games code itself is fine as they both ran 60fps on their platforms and playing casually you wont find any glitches(besides the x tracks in x fucking with the npc's).

I think the mod learned of his style after the shmup thread and has been pruning all of his shitposts lately.

>that dude always makes me laugh
Yeah, they're usually lolzy, but the mod is a fun-hating faggot that thinks /vr/ needs to be serious business. If Cee wants to make an arse out of himself, let him do it, who gives a shit.
