I'd buy F Zero if it was an unfuzzy F-Zero X. The Battle Royale idea is a perfect mode, too.

Originally posted by wargame View PostI was just thinking about a 100 racer game I wonder what technical limitations would need to be taken into account for that.
Battle Royale games generally work because although they're ~200-player, they generally involve the wiping out of the majority of players very quickly. This means that about ~25 or so are usually left over for the bulk of the match.
Fortnite's network rates, i.e. the amount of "space" each player gets to take up in the server's calculations, actually increases as players die. This means Fortnite's gameplay is actually quite janky when the game starts, and tightens up when the herd thins out. That's in part because while most gaming-related computing things have improved in the last 10 years, computer networking (as it pertains to games) is still very similar to how it was in ~2004, when Planetside pretty much maxed out what could be done with it.
This works in Fortnite because the playerbase spreads out, and other things help it. A racing game would be trickier because it involves collisions at speed during a complex physics simulation. It's certainly not impossible but it's a unique challenge.

Tetris 99 has me diving right back in for one more go. It's addictive, but best I've got is 24th. Quite a fe times, I have been targeted by a fair few from the off which ends me within 20 seconds or less!
Anyone got any tips? I imagine you start out on KO and then switch to attackers then being targeted? Obviously being good at Tetris would help

Go for the Tetris every time and use hard drop to speed yourself up. If you need practice, bust out old school Tetris and play Game B, Level 9 High 5. That's all I practiced on for a long time. Tetris 99 the best I've managed so far is #5. Also think about targeting attackers so that you get them first. I also find that the Pro controller is not as good as using 2 Joycons, that split D-pad makes a huge difference.

Yeah, I use the D-Pad. I don't think it allows you to even use the stick.
I'm not bad at Tetris, but I think if you are targeted by multiple players off the bat, then you are straight away up against potential hell. I feel sometimes it's just bad luck.
Still doesn't stop me from playing another round...
