DAMN YOU, NINTENDO
« Thread started on: Oct 30th, 2002, 4:07pm » |

Well, IGN grabbed the latest F-Zero AC/GC trailer. Now before I say anything, I'd just like to state for the record that, to me, music is equally important in a video game, just like how many other people would consider graphics to be a strong element. Music, just like graphics/story/acting/etc, has the ability to make or break a game. And with that said, I'd like to make my statement on AC/GC...
YOU SUCK, NINTENDO. Eventhough F-Zero X didn't sell that well as some people might think, at least it created a large following that jerk off to it. While Sega seems to be doing an awesome job on the game itself (graphics look sharp from what I saw, and the gameplay looks X-ish), the music (which Nintendo is handling) has been turned into hard-house techno.
I'm not saying the genre sucks (eventhough I'm more of an acoustic man), but after showing us F-Zero X and then releasing that guitar arranged sounddtrack, (which I hope many of you have heard) I absolutely fell in love with the arrangements and thought that this was going to be the awesome style of F-Zero from there on, thanks to Taro Bando and Hajime Wakai (and of course Naoto Ishida for making the oldschool F-Zero tracks). So I prayed that F-Zero AC/GC would get the same treatment...
But of course, things start to take a turn for the worse. Instead of one day imagining ourselves versing each other in the arcades, having fun accompanied by hard rocking tunes, we're now being treated to the most generic techno you could possibly imagine (which could possibly make loads of people think that F-Zero is just that; another racer like WipeOut, mindless racing without substance). I suggest all you guys check out the video at IGN (doesn't seem to be Insider). Sounds just like another tune, eh? Would you have guessed that it's actually BIG BLUE?@! I know my music, and I could tell you straightforward that it almost took me a few times to listen to that abberation and realize that it was Decide In The Eyes (X name for Big Blue).
Well, I ain't gonna whine anymore, but if any of you feel the same, we should start a type of petition or some crap (which I know they'll probably wipe their rears with) to re-arrange the music into the style Taro Bando and Hajime Wakai did on X. Seeing the music mix down with the game, to be brutally honest, makes it look like a typical cliche racer that we'd see on the PSX. It's almost November...you think they'd have the time to re-arrange the tunes? I think they're slating the launch for February...let me know what you guys think.
Later.

I have only heared one tune, and it's decent. Besides, in F-Zero X not all the tunes were great, so I think it will turn out allright. I really hope to see some remixes  Besides, the movies are not of one stage, it seems they took random parts of one level/ multiple levels, and sticked them together. So there is a big chance the music you can hear is not even the level music. I don't think they will change the music (whether it be these tunes or tunes we don't know about). Example: there has been a petition about Zelda 9's looks, it failed. From all the petitions that can exist, I'd have to say a petition about the game music is the one with the smallest chance of succes.
My advice is not too worry too much about the music right now, I am positive it will turn out allright

Yeah, you're right...
Nintendo is always the stubborn type. I love them to death but I equally hate them at the same time (interesting relationship, eh?). You're totally right on the idea that if they won't change Cel-da's appearance or even the fact that Metroid is an FPS (oh I'm sorry, "FPA") I still don't like their adjusting views. They just go for the best possible chance a more profitable outcome, regardless of what they do to a franchise. A business is a business is a business...
Too bad I can't flip a bird at them on this message board. Regarding the music again, though, I'm pretty sure they'll have a few tunes from before, like Mute City. As for the genre, though, I'm pretty skeptical that it'll be multi-flavoured. It's usually one genre and then stick to it. If it comes to that, then I'll simply mute the game and then pop in the Guitar Arranged Soundtrack CD. I hope you're right that the outcome will be good, though...
I know I'm buying this game regardless to enjoy the various things like the "Home and Away" features that'll be enabled via memory card, and of course my sentimentality for great racing that we know as F-Zero, but here's hoping that I won't be sour from any aspects of the game. (I know I won't be rocking out to any tune that has the same 4/4 structure going *uNF-psht-uNF-psht* for 69 hours straight).
Peace out.

You all make a point. But please keep the language down. There are people here that are too young to hear that. I will look at those screen shots. I hope it will be good"The game" if F-Zero GC is not as good as I have anticipated, Nintendo of America WILL hear from me. Prince Marth.

Just downloaded the first IGN vid (which took forever! ) and I'm disappointed. I was hoping it would be similar to the SNES/GBA version, but it looks the same as F-Zero X (just better looking), which I didn't like at all. 
Oh well, I found some more movies: http://planetgamecube.com/news.cfm?action=item&id=3632 There probably the same as IGN, but PGC vids are normally better quality.

I've downloaded all the videos now and the only difference is the PGC movies are at a much lower frame rate.
Anyway, it does look very impressive and it's perhaps my second most wanted game (behind Zelda Cubed), but I still don't think I'll enjoy it as much as MV (I may be wrong though ).

Re: Music sounds cool!

And IF I remember correctly, someone said the music stank. I think it is cool. It is nothing more but a compromise of all three systems. I say we look at the Gamecube edition to pull equal amount of stuff on all the F-Zero editions. I think they WERE going to make it ala F-Zero X, but I think they equaled it out after they saw the awsome players here! Just trying to figure out what Gamecube is. So, keep posting, and I'll keep listening! Prince Marth

Listen very closely to the very first IGN clip.

IF you listen to the first clip IGN ever taped of actual F-Zero driving, you can hear some wierd sound. Like someone passing on some CO2. Not that I am joking, but my ears picked something up.  Kort Everett Jackson

Continuing the research

The Research of F-Zero GC is still under way, and I await more info or pictures on the Japan site or a release on the American site (unlike that cruddy blue and grey basic information site.) Kort Everett Jackson. (Seeing if he could get himself more FZGC vids.)

Did anyone notice that the new characters have been revealed, along with their names & machine names? (at least, the 3 that were on the official site). I can't remember them all, but one of them is called Phoenix, and the little robot is QQQ. Visit the site for more info

I have obtained some Aeropolis and Green Plant Screen Shots from IGN, and they allow posting anywhere, so they are going on my site. Also, the Names of the drivers: First New Driver: Princia Ramode Second New Driver: Phoenix Third New Driveer: QQQ or Q3 It says so on the little robots chest. As for the IGN pictures, they only allow so many a day, so only a few will appear at a time. I can't express this, but I must try to do more work on my site. Also, I need a lot more staffers, and no applications except for one for Ultimate Moderator. I can't find enough staff, and if I can't get the staff, the site will most likely stagnate, and die. (Speaking about Tenth Zone East) , which will be going through YET another reconstruction in June, with the new parts coming out, such as the Tenth Zone East Awards, which award Music Composers in catagories such as Best Compostition, Best Midi Sequence of a Videogame, Best remix of a Compostition, Best remix of a Videogame. Not only that, but it extends to Best Competition Gamespace, Best Topsite, and Best Videogame. (there is even on for... BEST WEBMASTER!) Good luck to the nominees, who will be announced later tonight. Kort Everett Jackson

I seriously hope that if the music has gone all "Techno" that you can turn the music off in the options. That way I can stick some Joe Satriani on over the top, which is just as good as the original F-Zero soundtrack if you select the right tunes. 
Trust me, if you haven't heard of him before you should download some stuff from KazaA...
Top tunes by Joe that suit F-Zero:
Crystal Planet (this one for sure) Up in the Sky (this one for sure too) Devil's Slide (live) (this one for sure too - Download these now!!) Can't Slow Down Borg Sex (live) A Train of Angels Circles (live) Ceremony (Live) Summer Song Rasberry Jam Delta-V
There's loads more - those are just off the top of my head.
