  • Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.

    Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.

    That’s okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don’t worry.

    Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)

    Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn’t (well aside directly from the start).

    I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!

    And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren’t there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.

    Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.



  • First, thanks for you long answer!

    Is Master the difficulty you have to unlock? I can’t remember, so probably not. I have it unlocked though…

    I have no problems at all with the things you mentioned:

    • I always get the good boost
    • I press down while jumping
    • cornering: let go of trottle (if needed) and use L/R
    • the power management I have not completely mastered tbh

    As silly as it sounds, the problem are the other cars (as always haha), but for real: once I’m in the pack I’m loosing speed and get pushed all over the place… even with the spin attack. And then I’m stuck there and usually end up around 30.

    My rating is B+ now, I usually beat 3/4 opponents. And I think I’m around level 15.

    Of course there are still a few driver errors, but I struggle most with getting out of the pack, if you now what I mean.

    I guess I just have to git gud, like always.


  • And I’m sitting here and can’t win anything and I really don’t know why. I played the hell out of F-Zero on the SNES (and also on the Switch).

    But I’m always 20-40… in the 99 battles no matter how hard I try and usually manage to get to the end in Grand Prix and Mini-Prix.

    Maybe I’m missing something? Do you have some tips and strategies?

    I find myself usually in the Top 10 in the beginning, but then I somehow tumble down in the masses of people until I’m stuck around 40…








  • I enjoyed Foundation as well, so I would definitely play it.

    My timeline for playing is Control (when it released) > Alan Wake Remastered (earlier this year) > Control with all DLCs (after AW). Alan Wake was always on my radar, but when I it finally came to the PS Collection for free I had no excuses left haha

    Alan Wake as a whole did not age too well gameplay wise… but the story is just so good and the pacing is also nice. There is always something new going on and it also has the perfect length.

    Funny story for the DLCs, they are quite hidden in the Remaster (you hab to manually select them from Main Menu > Chapter Select > Extra Episode 1 and 2)

    I really enjoyed them, the gave the much needed context on what’s happened to Alan after the end of the main game.
