Some movies of it on ... (don't bother reading it, just click on one of the four links called "Klik hier voor filmpje 1 (12,6 MB) !" etc.) (will take a while to download, and you need quicktime) It looks fast and slick... i like that. But somehow i feel it doesn't have that same "f-zero-feeling" to it. I prefered how the N64-version looked. Very clean and with a huge feeling of emptiness... just you and the racetrack in front of you. The cities in these movies look a little too crowded and complex perhaps. But let's wait until we actually get to play it :-) It might still be alright. |

many nintendo classic games (sadly) have lost their original feeling... donkey kong country, starfox, mario... still another one? =/ *downloads* |

I know what you mean :-( But atleast it looks like zelda still has the same feeling as the original games! And metroid... i have high hopes for those two. |

same with me nekta! ocarina of time, mario64... these are masterpieces... i don't have a gamecube, i only played some games by friends. i don't regret having a ps2 instead... unfortunately... 'starfox adventures' looks very good though, anyone played it? deceptive or good? |

F Zero looks great, Mario sunshine was pretty good but there was something missing from it that was in mario 64. all the other games from nintendo have been great, Metroid is incredible(well thats retro and nintendo), luigis mansion is a good but short one, animal crossing is very fun, pikmin is very good but hard at times. I reserved Zelda a few days ago! Anyways about star fox: its alright, nothing mindblowing but its a good zelda ripoff. Id give it abouit a 7.5\10 or slightly higher, theres nothing bad about it except for that almost all of it has been done before. it does have very nice graphics though and its pretty long. |

from what i've seen from the first video, yes the ambiance seems to have changed! but the ambiance had already changed from snes version to n64 version (that GC version seems to be a little more XG-like (extreme G)...) they seem to have kept the original melodies, which i appreciate a lot (big blue theme...^^), it is great for nostalgics! :) looks exciting ^^ can't watch the other videos though, it 404s...

"they seem to have kept the original melodies" lol, you could hear them? :-p I was too distracted by the japanese woman ;-) And now that you've mentioned it... you're right. It does remind me alot of Extreme G... Maybe that's why i feel kinda dissapointed now (XG was very shallow in my eyes... fun for 2 days or so, then it started to get boring). I really hope F-zero GC will be nothing like that :-/ I have to disagree with you on the snes/n64 comparison though! I thought they'd miraculously well preserved the ambiance there! The floor-patterns (the city underneath the tracks) looks almost the same... and with some of the more flatter tracks it's almost as if you're back on the snes :-) *sniff*. Even the forcefield on the side of the road looks the same (those endless rows of colored circles... if you know what i mean). I was honestly very impressed with all that :-) I had no problems with the other videos... worked fine for me. But don't worry, the first one was the best :-) The other videos are all taken from the same track, only split-screen two player mode (a vertical split!). |

From that ign-article: "Vehicles, fairly well designed, still sport the colorful F-Zero style, which may appear too cartoon-like for some." See? That's exactly what i mean! I love that cartoon-ish style. All my favourite computer-games were sort of cartoon-ish. Nowadays being as realistic as possible seems to be more important. But why should realistic automatically also be beautiful? I think a more cartoon-ish approach is much more creative and prettier... hm... maybe i'm just getting old ;-) |

i think i've heard the mute city theme for one second or so ^^ which extremeG have you played? i only played XG2 on n64, which is imo flawed (too much black fog for example...) but i like it very much still :) don't know about XG3... i'd like to try it... i like that cartoonish aspect in f-zero too (the pilots looking like american cartoon superheroes! ^^ btw have you seen the official f-zeroX website? i'll try to find the url again... it's worth seeing!) but i don't like how platform games today are all getting cartoonish. it was good with banjo-kazooie, but for all the rest i don't like... matter of taste :) |

oh... it was but the site seems to be closed now :( it leads to nintendo.com directly... too bad |

starfox sucks i have to say... i cant wait for zelda tho .. will download and see too |

I played extremeG for N64 (the first one). It is very exciting at first to go so fast... Until you realise crashing the walls is virtually unavoidable... and also doesn't seem to have alot of effect either ;-) The game usually throws you right back on track. On most tracks you could probably win without touching the control-pad :-p Graphics were okay... nothing special. I used to play it every now and then... until F-Zero X arrived :-D Nowadays that's the only racegame i still play. And yeah i'd like to see that website :-) I'll check it out if you can find the link! |

oh :-( you already searched... too bad |

really? Damn... i thought it looked pretty good from what i had seen. What don't you like about starfox? |
||||||||
|

is / was the f-zero series of games only on the nintendo platforms or was it in arcades too? |
||||||||

Judging from the preview, that looks like classic F-zero to me. |

this topic made me play older f-zeros... ^^ snes and n64... i still can't pass the big gap in white land II (SNES)! *' _ '* i know, you have to press down in the gap when jumping to make a longer jump but even with that, i crash! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

heh, i still remember that! (haven't had my snes for more than 8 years, but now that you say that, i still remember that gap). I actually called the nintendo-helpdesk for that :-p To ask what the secret was. And they said: "no secret really, you just jump over it", lol. I used to crash there all the time... but one day it just clicked, and i made it... and i haven't crashed ever since. Just make sure you drive carefully in the part before the jump... no bumps, build up some speed. Relax... and just jump... eventually you'll make it. (and weren't you supposed to press up to make longer jumps? It's been too long and i don't remember the exact controls... but pressing down seems kind of illogical). sigh... i wish i still had my snes. But glad to see this topic has had such a positive affect on you!! :-D I've been playing the n64-version alot lately. I just love that big tube in the first "big blue" level... that was truly a nice innovation! I can't believe how "natural" it feels... you don't even have to think about it, just naturally know how to drive around it. And by now i've memorised where all the speed zippers are ;-) I can make very fast laps :-p |

i guess you have to be exactly perpendicular to the track too... and they put a 90° turn just before it!! aw ^^ (it's down for going up, because it's like an airplane maybe?) |

I remember F-Zero for SNES... I was SOOOO shocked at the scaling and rotation and how wickedly awesome cool it looked. |

in starfox? almost everything except the starships sessions, but they are rare and way to easy and the way starfoxe moves is reaaallllly bad, the animations and sounds ar bad too, the little triceratops is the most annoying caracter ive seen, and the scenarios as well as the combos are (imo) ridiculous... please dont buy it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Star Fox is OK... it's way too easy, and for sure the flying missions are just pointless. I like it though... the pretty graphics alone redeem it somewhat, I wanted to get to new areas just to see what they looked like. The fighting is too simple, too... the same button whacking combo on every damn enemy... |
||||||||

mmm the sounds when he climbs cliffs too HORRRRIBLE ! sorry i wanna shot that fox down and im only after the first boss ;) |
