That does not look fast at all. The first shortcut he took with boost on looks like regular F-Zero GX gameplay at best, and that's it. Just look again if you really forgot, maybe the speed of GX fried your brain. Still for a DLC game FAST looks good. If they wanted to, they could have probably released that as a full game and made decent sales. |
While I agree with you that F-Zero GX speed is faster, if you look at the obstacles going by the side of the track I would say it isn't by much. GX gives a much better sense of speed as Rol said because of the track floor and putting objects close above the track.
The boost on FAST in terms of percieved speed is imo higher than boost in GX though, but I don't see that as a good thing (though I haven't spent much time on FAST yet, I may get used to it)
Also, that video of GX you posted has some really terrible piloting, I wasn't a fan of how most of the standard ships handled in GX (thus for much of it I used the ship creator and had to cope with the hideous aesthetic results pretty much all combinations of parts created in order for the steering to feel right... eventually I got used to the main ships though)... however, the way the buy in the vid is waving all over the tube in Fire Field and crashing in to the side in Big Blue makes it look like it's the first time they went on the tracks.
