Exactly! It all looks good on paper, but I’m definitely waiting for reviews. Fool me once…

Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.
Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.
That's okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don't worry.
Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)
Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn't (well aside directly from the start).
I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!
And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren't there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.
Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.
I also vote for a consolidation of the two. As others have mentioned, we are unfortunately not that big (yet) and therefore one big community with everything related to playstation would be a good thing.
I really love the Fediverse, but one weakness is for sure the splintering of communities in many small very specific ones, where none of them get many traffic.
Also thank you for you work!
I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.
My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.
The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!
First, thanks for you long answer!
Is Master the difficulty you have to unlock? I can’t remember, so probably not. I have it unlocked though…
I have no problems at all with the things you mentioned:
- I always get the good boost
- I press down while jumping
- cornering: let go of trottle (if needed) and use L/R
- the power management I have not completely mastered tbh
As silly as it sounds, the problem are the other cars (as always haha), but for real: once I’m in the pack I’m loosing speed and get pushed all over the place… even with the spin attack. And then I’m stuck there and usually end up around 30.
My rating is B+ now, I usually beat 3/4 opponents. And I think I’m around level 15.
Of course there are still a few driver errors, but I struggle most with getting out of the pack, if you now what I mean.
I guess I just have to git gud, like always.
And I’m sitting here and can’t win anything and I really don’t know why. I played the hell out of F-Zero on the SNES (and also on the Switch).
But I’m always 20-40… in the 99 battles no matter how hard I try and usually manage to get to the end in Grand Prix and Mini-Prix.
Maybe I’m missing something? Do you have some tips and strategies?
I find myself usually in the Top 10 in the beginning, but then I somehow tumble down in the masses of people until I’m stuck around 40…
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind and quite enjoy the occasional Far Cry, but like with Assassin’s Creed, we have been a bit oversaturated tbh.
The same is kinda true for the Ubisoft Star Wars game. I really hope this one turns out fine.
That’s actually true, I completely forgot that!
Maybe they are testing the water in order to see how much interest there is for F-Zero? Let’s hope for the best.
I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.
Another benefit is that they are more often then not patched up and better playable, compared to the release.
Me neither haha, it’s still mostly from the same podcast and a few meme post from our group chat.
The whole console war thing as stupid as the whole exclusivity thing…
If I could play Starfield right now, I would, but I also have no problem in waiting until it gets patched (which is the case with a lot of games lately).
Dare I say it… did they really turned around the ship? I waited since the launch to finally finish playing it (or in this case, start a new game).
