Never played an F-Zero game in my life (excluding the SNES game), Would this game be worth it for me?

[Careful, I got a reputation.]

I always loved playing WipEout instead of F-Zero, and I especially love BallisticNG and what it managed to pull off as a spiritual successor to the classic WipEout games, and this game seems very similar to what BnG was trying to accomplish, should I give the game more of a try? Will it be playable online with friends on the final product? Should I play something like F-Zero GX before buying this game?

Have you tried playing the demo?
I too have a similar background. Never played any of the F-Zero games, played lots of the WipEout Omega Collection and BallisticNG.
I played the Aero GPX demo, it has nice gameplay, tho a bit diffrent from the WipEout games.

It won't have online, just local multiplayer.

No need to play GX/another FZero before - this one is more accessible/easier to get into actually.

It is very different from wipeout style racers. Just give the demo a try, it's pretty fleshed out already.

I'm glad there's still local MP but the lack of online wouldn't kinda "kill" the potential?

At least having ghosts or something like in Distance?

Ghosts are planned and will be able to be shared.

Yep, no online will kill most interest in this

I can still live with enjoying the single player mode and Time Trial (like in the F-zero games prior to 99).

But track editors and MP modes are really good extenders for games.
