Well, yeah, I know the difficulties are speed classes, I'm up to the second to last of the HD circuits/series (whatever they're called). I think that the floatiness is what bugs me, actually, not the speed. Perhaps ironically, I don't like WipEout because regardless of the speed it still feels like you're in control, while F-Zero feels like you're fighting against the speed while also using it to your advantage. And I like how flimsy F-Zero machines feel, the WipEout cars are too bulky and getting hit with weapons feels like someone just hit you with a "hey slow down" energy wave than something that's actually explosive.
I guess all I'm saying is that I want crazy visceral feelings and extreme campiness from my futuristic racers. Though I do dig the WipEout aesthetic, and it's certainly more realistic than F-Zero. The whole racing teams thing is cool, too.
Though, yeah, Zones is awesome, especially with custom soundtrack. (sometimes I use F-Zero music in Zones. teehee)
