Wipeout HD vs. F-Zero GX

Ah, Wipeout HD... Speed, finesse, technical mastery, the most banging of soundtracks... The game has it all as futuristic racers go, right?

Well actually no. Another game had all of those things years ago, and frankly, it did them all better. That game is F-Zero GX, released in 2003 on the Gamecube.

What a joke gamesradar is...

pain777pas6076d ago

You said it. Comparing an almost unplayable game that takes ages to master the tracks which is FZERO Game cube version to a finely tuned pick up and play but hard to master game being wipeoutHD. STFU gamesradar person who wrote the article with a BS comparison. What a waste of my time with this BS. Geeeeeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sonarus6076d ago (Edited 6076d ago )

I really don't see why they are comparing the 2 games now. Why didn't they compare it with the psp version back then. Its always dumb to compare last gen games to current gen games.

All things said and done though gamesradar is alright.

marinelife96076d ago

I'd like to compare Gamesradar to salmon $#!+.

Yi-Long6076d ago

... (on this one)

F-Zero GX is one of the best racers of all time. I prefer it much over the Wipeout series. Obviously this is all just a matter of taste etc, so feel free to disagree... but the design and gameplay for F-Zero were just amazing. It took a while getting into, but once you were in, Time-Attack became more addictive than porn and M&M's.
The tracks are all very varied, take a while to master, opposition is very tough, etc.

The only thing I didnt like about F-Zero (other than the fact it was on the Gamecube), were the character-designs. It's probably me, but those characters just sucked. Also, story-mode was extremely hard. (Ok... so that's 3 things I didnt like)

But yeah, give me FZero over Wipeout any day of the weak...

sonarus6076d ago

I dunno. I would much rather play wipeout HD that play a 5yr old game...but thats just me

Why o why6076d ago

Only 2 things are more addictive than porn: sneezing and ejaculating.....F zero is NOT one of them

rroded6076d ago

no comparison really but anything to try and take the wind from another ps3 masterpiece. Sigh sometimes i wonder if they get paid by ms or are just a bunch of hopeless fanbois.

Chainsaw6076d ago

untill they recommended playing the gamecube F-Zero instead of Wipeout-HD. FZero has better tracks in my opinion, I love the fact that parts of the track have missing siderails. I used to love taking opponents out by trying to hit them off and at the same time not throwing myself off. And its definitely more of a challenge, you have to break and watch your speed alot more. But you can't say go play an almost 10 year old game instead of wipeout HD.

SL1M DADDY6075d ago

Anybody with a brain knows they are a joke. Sorry, but to compare a new game to a 5 year old game is silly and something I would totally expect from that trash site.

Ooooh its nothing. JUST THE BEST MF'n FUTURISTIC RACER EVER MADE! EVER.

"F" Zero! Literally, because Men... WipeOut is a 100!

Liquid Dust6076d ago

Agree, WipEout HD has completely restored my interest in the series. It is truly a fantastic game and a great way to show off a tv and the system. Play on

NMC20076076d ago

lol I went in your house and turned on your PS3 and played Wipeout HD and I sucked at it, but it's an awesome ass game to say the least, now all they need to do to catch my interest is make is compatible with the Les Paul Guitar Hero Guitar and I am set....... but yeah, Wipeout was always awesome, I wish MS would bring out another Quantum Redshift to do battle with Wipeout, sure it may not win but hell, I loved QR.

slave2Dcontroller6076d ago

Sup man? next time your over I will turn on Pilot Assist for you. Hows the new Silent Hill?

Voiceofreason6076d ago

LOL I sold my PS3 because it's a complete waste of money that only low intellect people would be happy with. I know where the open zone is but since you Sony worshipers hate in this area I see no reason why I shouldnt be allowed to also.. Whats wrong cant handle someones opinion when it doesnt match you own? Your mommy is > way go cry to her. Suckle up and eat and then get a diaper change. Come back when you understand that not everyone who doesnt want a PS3 must be poor. Some of us just have self respect and cannot support a company that goes out of their way to insult its fan base. Maybe I should explain what self respect is, but you lost yours when you were bending over for Sony being spoon fed BS and eating it up like no tomorrow.

this gotta be a joke, this guy is a complete moron

tk6076d ago

And the first Wipeout predated F-Zero by what - 10 years?
Sometimes the downplaying / bashing of PS3 titles at any cost is just downright stupid.

Liquid Dust6076d ago

I think he was reffering to the original FZERO which was released on the SNES in August of 1991. But since then WipEout has been the series that does high speed futuristic racing the correct way. No competition

See you all online

malingenie6076d ago

Liquid learn to read.... GC version.

Liquid Dust6076d ago

malingenie, learn to read. Of course i know this whole article was pertaining to the comparison between Wipeout HD and the gamecube version of FZERO. Read this quote from the article "...F-Zero pretty much invented the high-speed future racing genre back on the SNES..."

Now read my post above. That is what it refers to. I was merely stating that FZERO predated Wipeout

Voiceofreason6076d ago

Yeah they had Sony games out before they even had a SOny console.. ANother SOny casual gamer that doesnt understand Sony wasnt always in gaming and doesnt care to know any history.. You'll be one of those kids in a few years that gives credit to Sony for motion sensing this gen. Doesnt matter who came up with it you just give credit to Sony because that's who you worship.

Final_Rpg6076d ago

Don't lie to yourself... Everyone knows you've never owned a Sony Console, you're too busy shoving your 360 up your dilated A**hole. Stop trying to act as if you actually give Sony products a fair opinion, the only reason you pay it out is because your mommy bought you a 360 and you need to make sure you got the special one. It must be fun making up arguments without any real facts and only listing half the evidence available. I'm sure you love living a lie, you can just keep telling yourself what you like about Sony's PS3. It won't make a difference to it in the end, you're fooling yourself. The funny thing is you probably believe your own crap.

I think Extreme G on the N64 was the best one.But F-Zero and Wipeout are really good as well.You cant go wrong with any of them

Veryangry_bot6076d ago

Very stupid article.

When F zero hits 1080P, 60FPS, then you talk biatch.

Until then, WipeOut is the King of future racing. Ever since it took the crown back in 1995.

NMC20076076d ago

about Extreme G, but that N64 analog was extreme bull**** for me, if they remade extreme g then I would be all over it.

TheColbertinator6076d ago

@Veryangrybot

No need to get so angry.Its just an article from a nobody

@NMC2007

Yeah it needs to be in this gen as well.The problem is that Acclaim,the creator of Extreme G,went bankurupt years ago so nobody is gonna pick it up unfortunately

Spread Butt Cheeks6076d ago

Nasim strikes again.

Any second Juuken's fat fvcking face is going to show up screaming about the ps3 and spitting out twinkies. Gross.

I don't know why she doesn't stick to the Wii zone. She says she is trying the Wii Fit but "it doesn't work when you stuff you face during it". ugh....

buckethead_X6076d ago (Edited 6076d ago )

Does Nasim really bother you that much? I guess you really hate it when people use multiple accounts, huh? Hypocrisy is fun, isn't it?

And at least Juuken has a life and doesn't hide behind multiple accounts. Do you even have anything better to do than go to articles involving a console you don't have and say random, retarded bullcrap?

Also, have you ever seen her?

Life fail.

Have a nice day, though :D

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi6076d ago

F-Zero GX coming to Switch 2 via GameCube classic game library

After 22 years, the GameCube's classic futuristic racer F-Zero GX is finally getting a modern re-release on Nintendo Switch 2.

shadowhaxor50d ago

I guess if this is the only way to get a F-Zero game on the Switch 2... thanks Nintendo.

Neonridr49d ago

actually Shin'en are making a new entry in their Fast Racing series as well for the Switch 2. Which to me was always the spiritual successor to the F-Zero franchise anyways.

But GX is literally the best entry in the series I find personally, so this is amazing news.

shadowhaxor49d ago

Oh, I know about Shin'en's game and I'm happy about that. I always wondered why Nintendo just didn't give them the license so they can work on F-Zero. Seeing how Nintendo apparently doesn't care for it anymore.

Neonridr49d ago

@shadowhaxor - I'd love them to be given the license. Would be a no-brainer.

F-Zero 99 is Peak Nintendo, But Not the F-Zero We Wanted

F-Zero 99 is a fantastic new way to play the franchise, but it falls far short of a new game built for modern hardware.

PRIMORDUS614d ago (Edited 614d ago )

I would have loved a F-Zero GX remake, not remaster, or a brand new F-Zero game.😞

Agent75614d ago

The problems with that are it'd probably weigh in at a full price game and it wouldn't include the AX tracks that are weirdly in the GameCube version but can't be accessed.

PRIMORDUS614d ago (Edited 614d ago )

Actually I thihk you can get the AX tracks but it's really hard to do it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ga...
But I think you might still need to find the arcade of AX, that would be nearly impossible today. There is hope, there is a rom hack for the GC rom that has all the AX tracks in there. 😁 Just search for: F-Zero AX Direct Boot

Abear21614d ago

This. Why Nintendo won’t fan service us with this and give Wave Race the same treatment is beyond me. Switch 2 launch games would sell them out of consoles, but we’ll prolly just get another Mario because they figure that’s enough. Sadly, they are correct.

Soy614d ago

If you want more F-Zero, make sure to give this one some love then.

sadraiden614d ago (Edited 614d ago )

Was Tetris 99 a new game built for modern hardware? What about Mario 99?

Does this person not know that Fzero 99 is built on the SNES title? Were they actually expecting a brand new Fzero game? hahahahaha
Also, what's with all of the spammy ass tags?
