Assuming we are not comparing the mode7 FZero games to Wip3out or something later still then is there enough of a distinction to really matter?

TBH I'm thinking of what I think is the first F-Zero on SNES. I just watched a video of FZero-X and it doesn't look like Wipeout to me, but I've never played it so I could be wrong.

The glaring omission is a track editor.

I think the devs should be looking at Valve's approach to sequels, where version 2 is the ultimate version. This game looks just like RedOut but without split-screen vs. I'll pass. I already have Redout.
