F-Zero vs. Wipeout HD

[bruceleroy]

I've been a fan of the F-zero series but Nintendo seems to have dropped it after GX on Gamecube so I downloaded Wipeout HD for $20 on the PSN. So far, it seems like it's the best $20 that I've ever put down on a video game. Bad-ass HD graphics, fast-lag free speed, online, and sixaxis makes the game well worth it. Anyways, if you've played both, which one do you guys like better and why? Do you think F-zero will be on the Wii in the future?

F Zero rapes Whipeout

That's the reply that I wanted to hear. I do like the F-zero tracks better and the amount of racers racing at the same time but Wipeout HD has online, sixaxis, and HD graphics so they are both good.

The original F-Zero was great! For its time anyway, as it was one of the first racers to use mode 7 on the Snes. Doesn't look so great now but it still plays well.

I've not played Wipeout HD, but based on past games I've always prefered F-Zero. Most of the Wipeout games were a bit too muddy looking and it was too hard to see opponents which made it feel like you was racing alone a lot of the time.

Trust me, Wipeout HD w/ HD graphics, you'll see all of your opponents clearly unless you need glasses.

F-Zero, hands down.
Also, Nintendo can't really kill off F-Zero (being in the original Smash Bros. makes it a sin to kill off your series, which is why we have EarthBound 3 in Japan). I'm expecting a Wii F-Zero to be announced at the next big event.

And that's fair comparing the new whipeout to the new f zero (not even announced yet)

It'd be foolish for Nintendo to stop making F-Zero. (I've been waiting, what's up with that).
@DarkPrinny - did you play F-Zero when it was released? (early 90s) If so, you would have never EVER put F-Zero and Shite in the same sentence.
