SEGA: 'No plans' for new F-Zero but it 'might happen'

[cAPSLOCK]

Kylie, I'm not sure how into racing games you are, but good ones have a head crushing amount of depth to them well worth a full price investment.  GX definitely had its problems but X and the original F-Zero were both incredible.  Value both perceived and real is definitely there as long as they don't hand the series off to inferior developers again. 

Wide and varied vehicle selection, depth of mechanics, track personality (Rol is right here, GX was lacking badly), and many other elements including any future developments like track building, racer development, online leagues, and vehicle building (that doesn't suck) would all suffer. 

F-Zero is a pioneer racing series and my personal favorite so to see it get butchered would be like asking you to accept the idea of RE becoming a text adventure.  F-Zero being a download game, that's kind of a head scratcher any way you slice it--unless you think all racing games deserve to be download only. 

I hope they pump a ton of money into F-Zero and see how mind blowing they can make it.  

Maybe it comes from being old enough to remember the SNES and F-Zero at launch, but there really was nothing like it.  Look up "racing game 1991" on youtube or do some research on games that came out the same year.  It wasn't a minor jump or even just cosmetic like SD to HD, it was the first racing game where you weren't going on a straight line that occasionally curved to give the illusion you were driving--there was a real, actual track underneath you. 

The series, aside from its great speed and great personality, really has a natural ability to knock some heads back if done right. Hell, GX graphically still looks good to this day and F-Zero X still handles better than a lot racing games made today. 

The game has a natural ability (due to its setting and speed) to really knock some heads back. This is probably the worst racing game you could pick outside of Gran Turismo to make into a download game.
