As for the antigrav racers you mentioned, have you checked out BallisticNG? It leans more towards Wipeout than F-Zero, but even as a huge GX fan (and looking forward to Aero GPX myself) I've really enjoyed it. I believe it does have splitscreen as well, though I haven't tried it personally.

Although they're somewhat different the modern Hitman trilogy scratches this same itch for me (especially turning some of the guidance in the UI off and exploring the levels yourself, they're actually designed well for that). Gloomwood is in early access but is shaping up really well and is inspired by classic Thief.
I want more games like Resogun and Geometry Wars
Have you tried Nex Machina? By the same devs as Resogun, and it's great no-nonsense arcade gameplay. Assault Android Cactus is another game of that type I really enjoyed too.
There definitely is a lack of actually good ones in the modern era. Poi and Grow Home are some good ones you may not have heard of.
Seconded, one of my favorite podcasts.
Backed the kickstarter and eagerly awaiting it!
A lot of it is left up to your interpretation, so there's not really a concrete answer. I liked this video which explains some of what he might have been trying for with the themes of the movie.
Eh, other developers are already basically making Zelda games minus the name, and you can play them without giving nintendo money. Unsighted, Death's Door, and Crosscode are all great and take strong inspiration from Zelda, just to name a few.
Really enjoyed what I played of it, been meaning to go back to it sometime. I hope it gets a steam release at some point so more people can find it.
It's a real shame they picked that over Lemmy. It's not going to be the next big thing with closed invites at the most opportune time, and I've heard not so great stuff about some of the community there. Pretty happy here but wish I could still use RIF.
It's not out for a few more months but I recently tried the demo for Fortune's Run, which is now one of my favorite depictions of a cyberpunk world in a game. It's an immersive sim, maybe with a bit more focus on direct combat than most. The gameplay is fun if a bit rough in some spots, hopefully it gets polished up for launch but it's very promising. Everything about the presentation though is top notch.
It's got a variety of speed settings that increase in difficulty, and it absolutely gets fast enough for anyone lol. I like it a lot more than the actual wipeout games I've tried even though its mechanics are more styled after that.
