Wipeout is superior to F-Zero.
>>
>>338007684
it's not complicated to learn, just difficult to implement

momentum throttling is essentially releasing the A button when you're boosting above your vehicles normal speed
the idea is that if you hold A the game actually decelerates you towards the vehicle's top speed faster than if you werern't holding it, so you maintain your speed for a longer period of time

i can tell you how to MTS but i don't really understand the logic behind it, and you're better off googling videos
basically you hold both shoulders buttons as you start your turn, then release the A button and the shoulder button of the direction you're turning and you turn really sharp and get a huge speed boost
so if you're turning left go from (A+left+L+R) to (left+R)
i think the idea is that side strafing has no max speed so you're taking the turn going kinda sideways and getting that bonus
>>
>>338007684
>>338007970
the first few turns of this are a good example of MTS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfKjoWVcMNM
also hit boost plates on the edge for a larger speed boost

>>338004346
Because they all went the F-Zero route of racing on a singular track through the alien world. This made it feel like it didn't really matter what stage you were on. All the tracks are the same, just different backdrops.

However Star Wars Podracer (64) got it right by making you race through the actual environment of the world itself. Each stage had a certain feel to it, the difference in the levels felt more dynamic.

I wish someone would make a game like Pod racer with online matchmaking like similar to Trackmania. I also want to be able to create and customise my own Podracer and possibly have racing teams like they do in "real" podracing.

>Fast Racing Neo's patch to fix it's busted ass online and map exploits is finally fucking coming out tomorrow.
Too bad it was supposed to be out in January and it's taken so long that the game is completely fucking dead online because it's an indie game that crashes your console every ten minutes when playing online against people who can finish three laps in 1 minute and a half because there's exploits in every single map.

This game makes me angry because of how it's broken release killed what could have been a great online racing experience completely.
I love playing it but fuck Shin'en for not bugtesting properly.
Although if they don't fix not being able to freely select levels in local multiplayer, I am never buying another product from them again. There is no literally no reason why players should not be allowed to freely select levels in local multiplayer and are instead restricted to the same cups. This shit is a basic function in the genre.
