>>748560772HD still runs like shit in RPCS3. At least I finally got the 2048 60fps patch (with dips!) working on Vita3k. That game kind of sucks but it has the HD/FURY tracks as DLC.
>>748560772EG-X fag reporting in
>>748562678Actually never fucking mind I just made the mistake of updating Vita3k and now it runs at 15fps on every track. Why. The only dips were predicable ones not this absolute shit performance with my CPU at 15% and my GPU at 8%
For me, it's G-Tek.
Is Wipeout dead?I got omega collection for the ps4 used and it was fun but i havent put much time in itI played it with my father and he liked it but that was about thatIm not big on racing games
>>748565105Wipeout died with SCE Liverpool.
FLYINHAWAIIANS
BallisticNG2 when?
>>748565105Its about as dead as F-zero Only revived when the publisher wants a cheap remaster
>>748562678>HD still runs like shit in RPCS3Works on my machine :^)
>>748565105Get BallisticNG and join the autists racing every Saturdayhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/473770/BallisticNG/
Someone at Sony seems to very explicitly hate the series and has set it out to fail on multiple occasions, only for the studio to overdeliver and pull itself out every time but the last one. Even Omega- sure, Sony forced their hand to use music from their library, but the rest of the additions are tasteful and the VR mode is genuinely amazing and only held back by the shitty hardware. It took Sony to completely disband the remains of the studio (the guys behind Omega were a skeleton crew of old Studio Liverpool guys who remained at Sony) and turn it into a shitty, gameplay-less, lore-unfriendly gacha and then pretend that its failure means nobody wants Wipeout to kill it.
>>748560772What is?Anyway BASED>>748567110This. Ballistic NG is legit, and development seems to continue, miniscule niche though the AG racing subgenre is anymore...Dude I just ran a search for a Doc Strange mod and found none. Unfortunately. Did find this though, so thanks! Hm, how difficult is modding this for a total non-game maker n00b?
FEISAR til I die nigga
>>748565837>Wipeout died with SCE Liverpool.So did sony.Sony had 2 cultural heartlands for their game division, one was the UK, the other was Japan. The UK soul died when they shut down liverpool and the japanese soul died when they shut down Japan studio. Now they are some disgusting American capeshit zombie.
HOW did they make wipeout look so damn cool
>>748560772I never was a team loyalist. Yes, AG-S is usually one of the best choices and always a good pick when the cpu starts being faster, but if there is a Icaras/Qirex/Whatever faster ship I have no problems using it.
>>748571328Hired actual professional graphic designers.
Why grav racing died off?
>>748572057Racing community has been split into rich arab simulators (Forza, GT) for people who like cars but don't like going fast and speedrunning for those who like going fast but don't like cars. There's no space for arcade racers, especially not ones without recognisable BRAND.
My beloved
>>748572603Piranha is for speed chads. Fuck weapons, fuck everything else, too, just let me go fast.
>>748560772>boot up game>greeted with DRINK REDBULL>start a race>loading screen: Want to improve your reaction times? DRINK REDBULL>track finally loads up>What's plastered on the sides of the track?>DRINK REDBULLUnc's were such cattle for putting up with that shit lmao
>>748565105Do you want the next game to be a third person cinenatic adventure about a latinx undercover racer uncovering the massive carbon footprint scandall lead by Feisar with only 10% of the game being actual racing?If you're answer is no then WipeOut is dead
>>748572746I don't like the Pure/Pulse bulky Piranhas. They should've made them high speed and decent handling but shit accel and meh shields, and then buff Icaras's accel and made them nominally handle okay but very unstable. The stats are wack in general, they really hated the heavyweights.
>>748570247
>>748560772Wipeout always sucked compared to FZero. It had a cool scene in the movie Hackers though I guess. Good marketing from Snoy.
>>748571889 Corrections. They hired THE graphical designers. The de-facto leaders in graphics design. Or they used to be.
>>748574632Despite being anti-grav racers, they couldn't be any different. Wipeout has more emphasis on mastering difficult courses and managing the ship weight, in F-Zero the emphasis is in beating very tough CPU rivals, with easier controls.
I couldn't get into F-zero. I need to feel the Antigravity air cushion.
Are we excited for the new star wars podracing game?
>>748570247>>748574570wife
>>748574887Eh, kinda, if you play naive F-Zero (as intended). Both X and GX are Melee-tier broken, and the extra speed that comes from that demands just as much precision and mastery (sometimes more if you go for some of the more autistic advanced techs). A good comparison for Wipeout vs F-Zero would be touring cars vs superkarts- both are track racing, both demand high skill, but they handle completely differently and thus require different skillsets.
>>748575781>Both X and GX are Melee-tier broken, and the extra speed that comes from that demands just as much precision and masteryYes I know you can fly or snake but they're not techniques needed to beat the game, it's only for speedtrooners, that's no way to judge a game.
>>748567986there was at least a wipeout reference in astro bot
>>748575868Nah, games like Melee, Vanquish and both of the 3D F-Zeros revel in their brokenness, you are playing a much worse game if you play them naively. A bare minimum of advanced techs is required to actually unlock the depth. For example, GX becomes a much more complex and interesting game with just the baisics like quickturn, MT and MTS, as they let you have meaningful speed retention from boosts and graduate from being a shallow "you got two speeds, engage second one on straights" game like FAST. Man, fuck FAST, all spectacle no substance, three and a half games and all a waste.
>>748567110she's a gassy girl
>>748562423>Pirhana - Fly fast and win races>Icaras - Fly really fast then explodeSeriously what were the Brits thinking dumping all that power into a machine with shields of wet tissue paper?
>>748577043Icaras is for the enlightened
I cant go back to flatscreen after VRhttps://streamable.com/7u45wl

>>748570247lol
>>748571270Sucks too because NAMCO also had a large part in bringing SONY to where it is today.
>>748568546>>748567110BallisticNG is good but ships/teams feel bootlegish compared to wipeout teams
>>748572746>Fuck weaponsHell yes. The race is all. Why they all gather to celebrate in the first place. And why we watch and participate...as possible.Antigravity vehicles are faster than land vehicles of course. Flight, but not all height... \m/
>>748578161Yeah I noticed that as well. There are variant styles for vehicle classes or whatever though, forgot the names. I haven't played BallisticNg in like more than a year.
>>748577043Icarcrash[/spoler]
I only ever had Wipeout Fusion and EG-R was my favorite. I know fusion is kind of the blacksheep of the series (though I dont remember why) but I still played the shit out of it.
>>748560772Marathon aah artstyle
>>748579432>aahWhat happened? Did something mildly startle you?
>>748579694someone inserted a cock into his butt
For me, it's Outworld.
>>748560772What's the best Wipeout game?
>>7485807352097
>>748577874They always reminded me of Suzuki dirt bikes.
Are anti-gravity racers worth getting into nowadays? Are recent indie titles like Redout or BallisticNG as good as the classic ones?
>>748580735Too many to list, but the original is amazing if short.
Triakis, because I like bringing tanks to a race.
>>748580960Also, I love the wipE'out" aesthetic so fucking much, and Xpander is a fantastic song. Really, the whole series has such a great selection of techno/breakbeat music it's insane.
>>748577997at least the Namco legacy lives on in some form and they are still producing good shit, ace combat 8 is releasing in a few days and it looks great. PlayStation shat all over theirs in an era where they should have known legacy was priceless.
>>748580735PulseNot HD, the PSP one
>>748562968for me.. it's G-tek too
>>748572057Kids don't dream of flying cars anymore because they're all gay.
>>748580960BallisticNG is, assuming you don't care about ultra HD graphical fidelity, better than all of the Wipeout games. Some people will say that's a controversial take, but it's really not. Plus, the only reason it even costs money is because the dev is an autist who lives at home with his mother and his mom demanded that he make some money to help with rent. He would give it away for free if not for that, and he did for a long time. In my opinion though, it's very much worth the money, including the expansions. >>748579361It's the black sheep because it doesn't have pitch control and it's all mag lock track. In terms of general track design though I think it's probably some of the best in the series if not the best. The aesthetic was also top tier.
>>748580960redout feels like shit but ballisticNG is arguably better than wipeout.
>>748574632Literally comparing apples to oranges The only thing these games have in common is anti grav racing in the most broad sense
>>748575145>I couldn't get into F-zero. I need to feel the Antigravity air cushion.same.. there's no point if you don't "feel" it. It's also why I dislike Fusion.
This ad got b& for being too edgy.
>>748580735HD Fury
>>748580960Not really, I kind of found Redout fun but it's nowhere close to Wipe or BNG.
>>748560772Qirex every day of the week.
>>748560772feisar and piranha
>>748582120Kek, based devI don't really care about muh grafix, as long as something has decent art direction and style.>>748582187>>748582369I guess I'll give ballistic a go, thanks for the rec anons
I really like the intro to the Vita game that shows Feisar evolving from 1920s chain drive race cars up to AG racers.
>>7485826182048 is kino.I wish they didn't remove some of it's soul in Omega, I thought the ships having real engine sounds was sick as fuck but then on PS4 they removed them.. come on
If you ever get the chance to play wipeout with a real negcon you should. It is god mode once you get the hang of it but don't play for long sessions or you will turn your wrist to dust.Pic not directly related.
>>748582560Just be aware that the discord community is fucking terrible, but the /vm/ guys have a mod pack with basically everything you would want anyway so there's no reason to interact with them if you don't want to.
>>748580735BallisticNG, people have already ported all the Wiepout tracks and vehicles into the game.It's the best we have because sony killed the IP.
>>748580960AGX GP looks interesting but as has been previously stated multiple times - BallistcNG is the current standard.
>>748581054I liked how each team had pilots with victory/defeat screens. I always flew Auricom because they had the cute redhead gril.
'member Pacer?No?Good, shit sux
>>748582897Would you pilot an actual AG craft worh one of these if you ever got the chance to try it for real? Do you play it in VR with one?
>>748583062Devs these days are allergic to allowing anti-gravity vehicles to have any sort of bounce. I really hate that, because everything else about AGX GP looks pretty neat.
>>748583236No way, you'd want a yoke like an aircraft
>The AG genre is completely deadI don't understand why more people don't like them, is it just because they're to difficult for most people?
>>748583306What I was thinking, or something all-new. A neural link would be too easy probably
>>748583362>new game comes out>"hey this isn't wipeout/f-zero. shan't be boughtening">game dies>everyone else sees it is a genre going nowhere>no more games for you
>>748583286Damn. Haha, I think thats one of the things about the original Wipeout and it's direct sequels I liked...seems the first game had more bounce
>>748582726Yeah I'm a sucker for autistic little details. All these years later and one of my favorite things was in the intro of the original Wipeout when the light turns yellow and the engine blasts some kind of protective plug off the nozzle as they throttle it up. Always thought that was cool as hell.
Decompilation + VR maybe?
>>748583286Wipeout specifically has its craft play like powerboats that hover which is why it is a lot less rigid that the likes of f-zero and other games which treat the craft much more like a fighter jet which is inherently a more rigid type of movement.
>>748582726Real engine sounds? What sort of power core do antigrav craft use anyway? It sure as shit ain't petroleum powered, unless there is a way to achieve nuclear fusion from it in a compact, lightweight container XDUberoptical solar would be my guess. Why? Because it sounds cool as hell...
>>748583362Racing is already kind of a niche genre at this point, and a good chunk of the racing fans are there for car autism more than anything else, so non-real AG ships don't interest half of the potential fans.
>>748560772Reminder that this is the latest release in the serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBvBxUJ1dmw
>>748583738Interesting. Manueverability is probably the most important part of the design for stuff like this that adheres to real physics models.
>>748583362The two most popular games are owned by>Publisher that killed the original studio and put the franchise in a vault that wont ever be opened because its not a cinematic movie game>Publisher that got sl outplayed by the guest developers that they will never EVER touch the series unless it has some shitty gimmick
>>748583576SO(V)L
>>748583362As gaming spread to lower castes of society, it converged towards less gameplay and more realism, because idiots are stupid and have no imagination. AG racers are all gameplay and no realism, the antithesis of modern consumer's demands.
>>748577239So a time trial queen then. Any pilots of Icaras craft actually flying a real combat race can do nothing more than sigh and close their eyes when their computer warns them of an approaching quake than not even their NoS fuelled monstrosity can outpace that proceeds to send their craft to straight to oblivion.
Unrelated, but old-school gamefans - lookup VR Mission 19 in Metal Gear Rising. You won't be disappointed. Think Raiden would make a good AG pilot?
>>748583589maybe....>>748584009actual real physic, gameplay and camera of omega in the web browser
>>748583738F-Zero very specifically invokes the feeling of driving a go-kart, specifically a top tier shifter karts with motorcycle engines and gearboxes but still no suspension beyond tire and frame flex. The original Blue Falcon even looks like a superkart.
>>748583186Lel it was so bad>>748583236Damn I need one of these
If you see this and don't break out into a cold sweat you are either a poser or just plain ignorant. Fun fact: he set a better time than what was used in the game.
The wipeout games have the best OST of any game to date.
>>748583589The best you'll get is Wipeout Rewrite, since OG Wipeout got it's source code leaked a few years ago.
>>748584412>Fun fact: he set a better time than what was used in the game.prove it Z
>>748584426Wipeout phantom edition is cool but we need a 2097 version.

>>748584454It was in a post on wipeoutzone back in the day.
>>748560772Nice thanks for the from the depths design idea OP
>>748584426oh boy you are not ready then, if only you guys did know what is being worked on in secret....let's just say that the previous video posted is not from hd-fury and yes, that theme works in VR....
>>748583589Isn't that how BlassicticNG started off before they spun it off into an original IP?
>>748584553damn I missed that>>748584416truehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM9MSvP43m4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG8gZ3GfoV0
