GX Track Ranking Comments
Post by DavePhaneuf on Aug 31st, 2003, 8:00pm

Hey. ^^

I just took a look at the Mute City Twist Road track ranking page. It looks good.

Do you intend on doing this for the other 3 games?

I still like the old style alot though, but this is good too.
Hard to decide which way is better.

Oh well, either way is fine with me. ^^
I assume this new way saves time.

It doesn't really save me time, it's the same for me either way. The design is for the purpose of viewing all three time/speed listings on one page.

I intend to do it for the FZX track rankings so that all three lists can be on one page. The other two games won't be changed because I like the idea of being able to see both lists at the same time without clicking anything ... but that's not possible for X and GX due to having THREE lists each ... that's simply too wide, especially on X where we have both NTSC and PAL times shown. Hopefully DVM is correct and the 60Hz setting will allow PAL players to compete at the same speed as NTSC players so we can have one big overall chart.

Yeah I see now

It Defenitly makes sense.
We'll see if Pal players can Race 60Hz on thier games as well. That'll make time updates shorter and less frustrating I'm sure ^^

EDIT: Oh and just wondering, when you intend on making the new list for FZX, do you intend on showing both NTSC and PAL times at once?
That would make all track ranking pages have 6 columns. Three main ones and 2 for each section.
Or do you intend on making it look like the FZGX table and create a link to the other system on the track ranking page?

I want to try to have both system times on one page. I need to see how it looks though, I don't want to have to make the text size smaller to make it all fit. So I can't say for sure, but the goal is to put it all on one screen.

This isnt to do with the actual topic of the message, but with what Dave Phaneuf said about PAL players on 60Hz.

Every game i have tried on the NGC in 60Hz mode worked on my television. So hopefully FZGX will be the same.

My television isnt Ntsc compatible though, when i try games at 60Hz on my PS2 the do not display correctly.

Just a note for if anybody has tried 60hz on their televisions with their PS2's and it hasnt worked.
