Some more here from NintenDaan (30 fps though).
Seems nice and fast.
The screen judder when the craft lands from a jump is really jarring and doesn't help the sense of speed at all. Wipeout has that nice scraping of metal with sparks if you land at high speed, this has a slow down and bash like you've dropped an iron on the floor.
The sound of the vehicle also adds nothing exciting to the race. Not like some futuristic floating supercar, more like a monotonous droning that really starts to become annoying. Like someone is vacuuming the carpet in the next room.
The tracks themselves don't seem too exciting either, like the backgrounds don't have crazy futuristic cities, architecture or crazy shot going on (at least in these tracks, which should be a good indicator). They just have some big turbines and floating engines or some snowy trees. I shouldn't be too harsh but compare it to insane f-zero gx levels like fire field or something like that.

Music seems pretty rad tho with some guitar shredding even. Overall it looks like it will be fun, it's just got some big boots to fill I suppose.
Yeah, it's also a small team of developers who have improved greatly from the previous racing game they made.
They aren't trying to make wipeout or F-Zero, they're doing their own thing.
I wished it to be more WipeOut and less F Zero, WipeOut is all about aesthetics, I'm not feeling it in Fast. It still a beauty game and a big step over the first one though.
Visually the game looks like Wipeout, the ship design and environment design. It looks like gameplay wise they are trying to mirror F-Zero.
OK so I'm THAT guy, but is this the same team that made Wipeout for Playstation?

This might be a weird complaint but the tracks just seem way too straight to me. Without having any real corners the racing becomes less challenging and boring.
What these guys are capable of doing with their small team is insane. Nintendo should try to secure them ala Retro Studios.
They want to remain independent.
I am a the only inhabitant of a strange universe where this game looks bland as heck. No idea why everyone is so impressed by the visuals. It looks ok but GX is still on another league for me.
Yeah, watching footage of this game just makes me want a new F-Zero. Still, pretty impressive. Shin-en knows their stuff when it comes to leveraging processing power.Yep, I'll be buying this.
Still really want a new F-Zero, but Nintendo.
