The World and Story of F-Zero GX

Рет қаралды 6,249

Күн бұрын

F-Zero GX is one of those games that holds a special place in the hearts of those who played it back near its release on the Nintendo Gamecube, and it does so in part because of its inherent quality, but also due to the fact it hasn't seen a mainline console release since 2003. This is my humble attempt to show at least someone out there just how cool this game was, and still is, and how much depth can be drawn from something with so little to work off of.

It's worth considering that perhaps the threat of death isn't particularly high, given the cases of Mighty Gazelle, or Zoda as well as the explicitly undead you mentioned- there's a very real possibility that given this level of technology, a lack of peril under ordinary circumstances might drive an individual to more and more dangerous and violent behaviors.

Would explain why no one cares about how deadly and botherline suicidal each f zero race is

Reminder that the Galactic Federation also has Child Soldiers, as shown by Lily Flyer's sheer existence.

So F-zero is basically what would happen if senator armstrong won.

Cool video, some interesting tidbits! There is an impressive amount of lore surrounding the series, and its something they could easily expand upon - IF THEY COULD GIVE US ANOTHER ONE!!! The wait is killing me lmao. (I'm the dude from Reddit who laments there is no new entry in the series lol)

Once again you have whisked me away to another place and time. You got one hell of a way to keep us enthralled, I don't just feel engaged, I feel like you're letting me in on a ancient secret. Never stop the Great Works.

Aww I love that you're using Yahtzen's music! That's super cool. Also this is incredibly well scripted and edited. I think Brad told you but I've started watching Outer Worlds, largely because of your video 😝 Keep it up Drew, these are so good.

Part of me wishes Nintendo would explore the F-Zero universe further and do some real worldbuilding with the sequels (the sequels that WILL happen... eventually. Always hope). But at the same time, I do love when fictional worlds have ambiguity like this and speculation comes up with some really interesting stuff that any one writer could never come up with.

@BansheeNT-D 4 ай бұрын

Look at Metroid, the world building is bare bones. And the Nintendo bosses don't know what a Bounty Hunter is. They think it is Indiana Jones in space. And yeah, I wish Nintendo would do something with the F-Zero IP. But Nintendo has always a new excuse for not making a new F-Zero, first they have no clue how to make a revolutionary new F-Zero game, now it is Mario Karts success.

I've of the mind, the whole thing, the whole circuit, the drama, the stories, the backgrounds? it's all an act, akin to WWE. Don Genie perfectly fits in the role of McMahon, for example. one of the owners getting directly involved? All sorts of crazy backgrounds to 'why I race' and being ready to race at a moment's notice?

Not at all the video I was expecting, it was far more in depth, philosophical an interesting! I really enjoyed this given my recent obsession with the game (or rather, second obsession. I first fell in love with the game in 2014, which was already over a decade after it released) and I just wanted to add the one part of the world/story that wasn't mentioned which is the reveal that all of the characters are performers, not that that adds much of value to your analysis of the world being presented. I think you did a fantastic job explaining and expressing the diverse, fantastic and insane world of F-Zero GX (as well as the dystopic world that it presents, albeit I think that's probably unintentional on the developers part)

@supersmashbro596 Жыл бұрын

whats funny is that the last 2 f-zero games (which were based on the anime) could be considered an AU the characters and places are all there, but each racer has *something* altered about their backstories to tie into the animes world better. and you know i absolutely adore gx but i feel the world of f-zero was much better realized in the anime.

GP Legend makes it very clear that there is a police force, and that the F-Zero Grand Prix series operates essentially as an independent nation, with the tracks essentially beyond the reach of the law except by means of the police entering the races themselves, hence the criminal elements among the drivers being willing to make public appearances at the circuits

Gx had a very interesting take on f zero, but not my favourite one. Gp legend had a better world, more like the DC comic style setting of SNES and n64. *Gx just went full Sega.
