Title: F-Zero X or F-Zero GX?
Post by: jmdblazer on May 08, 2009, 11:54:12 PM
I would like to get an f-zero game, but I don't know if I should get f-zero x or f-zero gx. I found f-zero x on eBay for $7 and f-zero gx for $10, but I don't which one would be better to get.

GX. Intensely better control. Vastly better graphics. Eleven more racers. Four customizable machines per memory card. It's faster. It's cleaner. It's better.

GX has I think the smallest font I've ever seen on a pre-HD game.

Both are really good, but I'd say get GX.

Does anybody else read F-Zero X 's name as F-Xerox?

No. No one else in the world.

GX, definitely. After playing through GX, going back to the old one felt slow. I know X was 60fps, but it feels like 20fps next to GX (same with Smash Bros. vs. Melee).

I agree with Lizard on the font thing though. Also, I try to read the readout on the performance circle for various machines (the thing that tells you body, acceleration, top speed, and cornering), but it's so small that I can't tell when something's a 3 or a 2.5. In case you're wondering why I care, I was always fascinated by how the different parts change the overall performance, but there's no known formula for calculating what it will be (each custom part might have a different effect I'm thinking, so it's not just weight).

I've always pronounced it F-Zero "X" because I knew there weren't ten titles in the series. But I've seen F-Zero 10 on a couple websites. Conversely, I'm in a habit of saying Mac OS "X" instead of Mac OS 10. Since I usually need to qualify it with what version it is, I say Mac OS X Panther instead of Mac OS 10.3.

Okay, well I do always see Super Mario 64 DS as "Super Mario Sixty Fords".
Anyway, at least F-xerox isn't quite as bad as the people who come looking for Final Fantasy Ex-Eleven.

To put it in short, light rays are converged to a point in your eyeball by the outer layers and it stimulates the brain.

 GX "remixed" a lot of the music into something that it just isn't. go with X for now.

F-Zero X "remixed" a bunch of electronic jazz fusion into heavy metal music it just isn't. Go with F-Zero for now.

F-Zero "remixed" Mode7 racing into futuristic stuff that it just isn't. Go with F1-ROC-II for now.

I actually think that heavy metal fits the F-Zero series really well. GX's techno fit really well too, but I definitely prefer wailing guitars over synthesizers.

But yeah, GX is still a better game.

Technically those wailing guitars aren't really wailing guitars...

F-Zero X Guitar Arrange Edition is a pretty good album, and mostly better than the synthesized metal in the game. But GX's music is mostly better than FZX music.
That said, the F-Zero fusion arrange album is pretty good also, even though it's slightly annoying, but I really like the SNES soundtrack too.

I'd go with F-Zero X...The music's better, and the AI doesn't cheat as much.

Plus, there's no Death Race in GX.

Both games are freaking amazing and you would be a fool not to spend $17 for two of the most amazing racing games in Nintendo history. But if I were to pick one it would probably be X. GX is better game-play wise but X just feels more memorable to me.

X feels more like eyestrain from low resolution and ultra short draw distances.
