eff-0?

"About a year ago, the long-gone rumor blog run by Surfer Girl (we miss you!) posted an unsubstantiated bit claiming that this game wasn't Excite Truck 2, and that it might be an F-Zero sequel. Now that seems like something that might take a couple of years to get right, and something worth keeping secret."

Good lawd I would hope it somehow ends up to be Excite Truck 2. In my opinion that was one of the most enjoyable racing game I've ever playe, and it controlled like a dream.

Another F-Zero too would be great, though.

Eff-o?

Excerpted from Urban Dictionary, I especially like the example provided:

Effo

Effo is an Australian word for a NON Anglo person.

"Hey bro, look at those effoz!"

"Hey effo, sup?"

"Your such an effo!"

Urban Dictionary is awesome.

And I guess I'm not an Effo, although I would like to play Titaniam Orchid's version of Eff-0.

Its not F-Zero. If it is, I'd Falcon Punch myself in the balls after spending my money buying it.

Amusement Vision made the last (and best) F-Zero, F-Zero GX on the 'cube, and if they were making the new one it would've been leaked along with The Conduit.

Back to Excite Truck 2, it could be better than Pacific Rift. Bring back SD Card music, add online/4 player local (with AI racers), polish the textures a little, add some flare to the menus, add more bonuses, introduce bikes, new tracks (of course) and BOOM! Best racing game on the Wii (sry Mario Kart)

It better not be F-Zero! The only developer that should ever touch the F-Zero franchise ever again better be the team that made the Gamecube version. That game still amazes me to this day, not just in gameplay but complete with 480p and widescreen support! In 2003!!!

thats just it. It ran in 16:9 and 480p....ON THE GAMECUBE. That was unheard of at the time, and only few games after it managed to do both

It was Amusement Vision who made the GC version. I think they're now fully part of Sega again (?). Doesn't stop them doing a Nintendo sublicense I guess, but maybe less likely.

I personally hope somebody else makes it (excite truck people with plenty of dev time? ok fine) because although the graphics were nice and the game was really fast and so on, maybe if somebody else makes it, it will be easier. :)

Well back in E3 06 Nintendo said that Excite Truck was one of 3 big new franchises for the Wii. The other being Disaster and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Hopefully it's a sequel of some sort.

Am I the only one who thought Project HAMMER looked kinda dumb? Just cuz it'd be a new Nintendo IP doesn't mean it'd be great.

Anywhos, Monster Games only releases racing games anyway. I hope it ends up being F-Zero.

Yes, you are the only person. Project HAMMER was the best looking cancelled Nintendo game in years... Then again it was probably the only one we knew about but still, it was a Wii game that DIDN'T LOOK LIKE SHIT, OH MY GOD! :o

If a source as valid as this source is to be believed, Nintendo Software Technology is still working on Project HAMMER. It is claimed that the director of the project said so in a lecture at DigiPen

Can I just say this? Excite Truck is a highly underrated, gorgeous game that actually surpasses the original Motorstorm in every category except graphics (obviously)

Someone had to speak the truth.
Also, eff = F and o = zero, so eff-o means F-Zero.

It was the first game other than Wii Sports that I played and I can agree that it rules and was underrated. But this game and motorstorm I think were pretty equal. They're both really fun games!

It was a fun game, if a bit lacking in lasting appeal. Though I believe that can be attributed to the fact that it was a launch title and was probably rushed out the door.

Motorstorm was a totally different type of game.

The fact that you feel so compelled to compare Excite Truck to it obviously means you're feeling defensive and that Motorstorm was better.

Calm down.

Wow, them Playstation people sure have short memories. Back when both titles were out there was a lot of comparison between the 2 blahblah.
And yes ExciteTruck was by far the better game in terms of gameplay. Sure the music was crap but thankfully they gave us MP3 playback and I played through until I unlocked everything. Amazingly addictive game.

Motorstorm was just too... Dull compared.

I loved Excite Truck.
'specially with a drum n bass soundtrack.

Please be ET2, not that I would complain if F-Zero Wii came out.

If only Nintendo would stop being anal about AAC and just let me use my mp3s.

"Motorstorm was a totally different type of game."

yeah, I mean, Motorstorm had giant trucks boosting over giant jumps in a dessert setting. Excite Truck had...giant trucks boosting over giant jumps in a desert/tropical setting. Yep, totally different

"The fact that you feel so compelled to compare Excite Truck to it obviously means you're feeling defensive and that Motorstorm was better."

The fact that you felt so compelled to comment on me comparing Motorstorm to Excite Truck obviously means you're feeling defensive and that my personal opinion doesn't dictate the whole fucking universe.

More or less. Once you've played 1 game like that you've pretty much played them all. That kinda goes with all racing games. I don't need to play GT 5 cause I already played Forza 2.

"Excite Truck wasn't the most well-received or widely-purchased launch title for the Wii"

You're right, it was the second best recieved/purchased launch title for the Wii. Way to make it sound as though the game bombed.

This is one of the most underrated games for the system.

Joystiq avatars are 64x64...

Still, looks like this was a pretty good game, from what I've been hearing... I only played a little bit of it at kiosks years ago... Maybe I'll have to pick it up eventually...

Really? Mini-avatar pics of a naked video game character that is closer to resembling a 12 year old(physically and mentally) then an actual woman excites you?
