A few Questions (Add some if you like as well)^^
Post by DavePhaneuf on Aug 21st, 2003, 6:08pm

Hey there everyone! ^^

It's almost here! GX is getting really close!
And before it comes out I wanted to ask a few questions to anyone here who owns or has played F-Zero GX:

Here they are:

1) When you play GP mode or any other mode except Time Trails, do you're records get saved like in MV and SNES?
Since I've seen some parts in the video clips where the records and speeds are colored yellow. I asumme this indicates new records.

2) Is it possible to delete records without deleting anything else. Like in F-zero X

3) Is it possible to turn off the music for when racing?
Not that I don't like the music ( I Really like it! ) it's just that since techno is what suits the game well, I can tell that there will be alot of other songs that I could play while racing, so I could turn the GX music off and play another song from a cd player or something of the sort. I've always enjoyed that in Mario Kart 64.

I'm unsure if some of these have been awnsered.

If anyone has anymore questions, feel free to add them in. ^^

Lets' see..

1) Nope. Only the times raced in time trial mode count. GP and Practice results are not recorded
Just like F-Zero X in this way. Don't see how you could go any faster in GP anyway.. no need for 'bumps' here

2) Yes, you can delete records for seperate tracks. So if you feel unsatisfied with your dakou times just erase them and start again

3) Hmm.. don't think you can. It might be there in the options menu but that I cannot read.
BTW, for the Big Blue tracks you can unlock an alternative tune after beating everything on master. It's a cool remix of the classic Decide In The Eyes

I know that it technically doesn't answer the questions, but I wanted to say that I turn down the sound on my TV and turn up a CD player too. I did this a lot on SSBM, Gran Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, and Gran Turismo 3. I think I have done it on F-Zero and definatley F-Zero MV since I don't like MIDI sounding music except for Big Blue's music on F-Zero. I might have done it once or twice for F-Zero X, but rap music like Tupac, and rock music that is old and new do not work too good with "setting the mood" for high speeds. F-Zero's techno seems to be perfect though, and I don't even like techno, so it must be good! My poor old grandma...it's her 84th birthday on the day that F-Zero GX comes out in St. Louis, and I made her reserve it, and I'm making her go up and get it and bring it to my house. She was coming over anyway though and she lives right next to the mall, a 5 minute walk away so...

Thanks for letting me know!

I just had to satisfy my curiosity somehow ^^
I'm glad that Time Trail is the way you gotta make you're times, It feels more balanced that way. No need to worry about traffic in GP mode like in the snes version, and GBA if you wanted to make records in GP mode.


I remember hearing the classic Big Blue Theme on one of the Flying video clips I think, is that the one you're talking about?

Oh and I thought of another question:

4) Can you have 3 ghosts in Time Trail mode like in F-Zero X?. I liked that little feature ^^
