pedrocasilva Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Best translation I could muster: A official successor to F-Zero GX will appear on the Nintendo Wii. F-Zero Z, is the title of the futuristic Racer and will include an online mode. A weapon system was also confirmed. The title will be unveiled at the upcoming E3 2008.Fonte: http://www.planet-nintendo.de/?news=19164&name=F-Zero_Z_kommt_fuer_Nintendo_Wii Anyway, here's the original for German speakers: Ein offizieller Nachfolger zu F-Zero GX erscheint auf dem Nintendo Wii. F-Zero Z, so der Titel des Future-Racers wird voraussichtlich alle Strecken des Gamecube Vorgängers beinhalten und über einen Onlinemodus verfügen. Ein Waffensystem wurde auch bestätigt. Auf der diesjährigen E3 soll der Titel von Big N vorgestellt werden... perhaps they could shed some extra light into it or point some errors but other than that the news are simple, if they're correct... F-Zero Wii is coming and will have a online mode.
The fish Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Who predicted this in the N-Europe podcast? Oh yeah, I did. Sounds good, I hope it's true!
somme Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I wasn't that keen on F Zero GX, much preferred the N64 version. Weapons sounds interesting though.
Cube Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The rumour sounded really exciting...until... A weapon system was also confirmed. ... A weapon system ... weapon That sentence killed all my excitement.
tapedeck Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The rumour sounded really exciting until the weapons system I'm a big F-Zero lover yet I also like the weapons that Wipeout offers. Perhaps a mixture of f-Zero's pace coupled with Wipeouts interesting weapon system could be good. Yet I fear that speed and aiming/spinning out don't really go hand-in-hand. Not a great idea (if true) but it may just freshen things up a little.
Shino Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Awesome!! As long as we can play without the weapons. And on Final Destination.
darksnowman Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Weapons? No! This isn't Wipeout or Extreme G! You can attack in it nowadays through use of the "side-charge" maneuvre as well as the spin attack, besides, if we need weapons and power-ups we have Mario Kart. And F-Zero Z... I mean, seriously? Z? I want F-Zero, but I'm not sure this rumour is exactly the F-Zero I want!
gaggle64 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Depends what the weapons system is really, assuming any of this true. Would spin attacks count as a "weapon"? I'm with the sceptics on this one generally, having Wipeout-style lasers and missiles popping everywhere can only be detrimental to that distinctive F-Zero flavour.
LazyBoy Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I'd be all for a burnout style takedown system, at those speeds it would require a lot of skill, But weapons....no thanks. That ain't F-Zero. And where's my track editor?
Hellfire Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 If it has weapons, I'll get weapons of my own and kill them
McPhee Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 So basically Nintendo want to make Wipeout? Great. Now im just waiting on "F-Zero isn't very accessible so we decided to slow the pace down a little."
Hellfire Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I hope not, in fact, I hope they deliver it to the GX team, they did a phenomenal job, I don't mind if they throw in an easier setting, but I want F-Zero to remain, and I can't believe this, hardcore. Also, I highly dislike Wipeout.
Meo Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Hell yeah all over my tits. Make it a worthy sucessor of GX and dump that weapon shit, F-Zero is all about speed. Hell, they could sell GX with an added online mode and I would buy it again. Best racing game of the last generation, IMO. Gamecube controller support is a must. And I hope "F-Zero Z" is a codename... F-Zero WX would be a better name. make it so, Amusement Vision
pedrocasilva Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Don't take it for granted just yet guys.
S.C.G Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 If this is real then OMFGBBQHAXLOLAWESUM... If they continue to call it Z and implement the weapons poorly then Face-Palm fail... Seriously, I don't think F-Zero needs weapons, it's the precise control and second to none gameplay that has always made it succesfull; add weapons and you take away part of the players concentration that would normally be focused soley on the boosting and turning. It could still work but only if they implement it well but tbh unless it's made by Amusement Vision then I have no faith in it.
killer kirby Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 F-zero does not need weapons, we have Mario Kart for that
Deathborn Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Same as everyone: WTF?!? Weapons!?! As long as you can turn them off, it's not a big deal anyway.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The rumour sounded really exciting...until... ... ... That sentence killed all my excitement. SAME HERE but i don't think this is true after all. I want F-Zero X2 with a massive 30 player online mode, and the tracks once in the sky again twisting and turning!
Gizmo Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Weapons? Do not want. Then again, I think any F-Zero is better than no F-Zero.
ephidel Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The rumour sounded really exciting...until... ... ... That sentence killed all my excitement. Seconded. This would RUIN F-Zero completely! Also, go back to thrash metal BGM, it kicked ass! Play Mario Kart for friggin weapons, not a proper racer like F-Zero! I still think Ridge Racer 64 was the best Racing game to grace a Nintendo console, and yes, I have Burnout and Burnout 2.
McMad Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Urgh weapons? In F-Zero? Great... EDIT: 'F-Zero Z' sounds terrible as well. Couldn't they just call it 'F-Zero X' with some shitty subtitle instead? 'F-Zero X' is the most badass name ever.
Jonnas Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Please, let that rumour be fake... Unless the "weapons" are actually close-range weapons and certain weapons are exclusive to certain pilots. Maybe then I could reconsider.
nekunando Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 ..an F-Zero game will hopefully come some time, but this just sounds made up to me (thankfully) because anyone could have come up with that.. I also don't believe the Wii version will have weapons.. that just isn't what F-Zero is about. It's about break-neck speeds, perfect cornering, perfect use of the boosting and risking the last drop of your energy bar to try to steal first place knowing that one tiny collision will finish you off. It is also much more satisfying to bash someone off the side of the track at 1000 km/h than shooting something off to do it for you.. F-Zero GX was breathtaking.. I loved every minute and was one of my favourite Gamecube games (and one of my favourite games EVER)
