50 Iconic Vehicles From Video Games

Why can’t it be both?

They also list the Fenrir motorcycle and cite the movie Advent Children instead of the one game it appeared in, which is Dirge of Cerberus, even though they cited the X-Wing as being from Battlefront.

One of the tricks GTA V uses to make the world seem bigger is they slow down the vehicles so that it takes longer to travel.

And actually most of the vehicles do have working speedometers if you drive them in first person view.

Even if there were, you don’t have to make those accurate.

F-Zero GX is quite fast, but I really don’t think it’s 2,000 km/h fast.

It felt wrong to me too, but the thing is they’ve chosen to put it on page 2 which is a bit confusing.

Compare its size with the X-wing on page 1 (using the Metal Gear as a reference), taking into account the different orientation. They look pretty similar (which is obviously what people who designed the Arwing were going for).

I twigged to that immediately, also. Canonically according to the Internet the Arwing is supposed to be 28 “sm” long in its SNES incarnation and 18.5 of them thereafter, only raising the question of what the hell the “sm” is as a unit and how that translates to real world ones. But assuming that Fox and his furry pals are roughly the same proportions as humans, the way the Arwing is consistently depicted is with a single seater cockpit that one of them fits in to handily, roughly analogous to a real world fighter jet. Thus we can assume they’re about the same proportions. So, like 18 to 20 meters long, which makes Star Fox’s units (maybe they’re “space meters”) seem pretty comparable.

I think the Arwing’s on the wrong page, here.
