What are you talking about? Everyone played Wipeout on dpad, keyboard is fine.

If you have anyrhing newer than Intel HD 4000 you can run it on a laptop I wouldn't mind a Switch version.

Who else /tenrai/?

not me, no. Only in extreme 500kmh - 0kmh wall smash situations.

So? Git gud at timing your taps. You're gonna have to make constant micro adjustments either way, better have quick discrete kb taps than tiny stick twisting

Nah the top players played on negcons which give full analog controls and ability to easily pitch while steering which sucked on a dpad. Keyboard is much better than dpad because it gives you the latter

I know but I really also wouldn't mind having it on switch. I mean even having it not be shackled to steam on PC would be nice I prefer to use GOG.

You get the hang of how to take corners after playing for a few hours.

It's the closest to AG Systems I can find (high accel with decent speed and handling). I've never been a fan of the pure speed ships like Piranha and Icaras.

Boring on drag tracks since they're wide and have easy turns, a clusterfuck on most normal tracks. In the rare cases where it doesn't completely break the track though it's awesome, especially with hyper speed

Cockpit sucks, blocks so much of the road, if you actually get good playing with that view then that's impressive. First person's fine and might be a happy medium

Is this Wip3out? I loved that game on my PS1.

seriously limits you fov, which is a bad idea

it's a free wipeout ripoff, available on st**m

>free
strike that

>free

Its on sale for 30%.

After looking more into it, it also seems like a different dev team from Ballistic. This is disappointing, I'm just gonna go replay ballistic.

It's a wipeout clone. Started as an attempt to pull an OpenTTD and it evolved into it's own thing, while still maintaining the same base but different enough to not be considered plagiarism(also, it became paid).

why would censor "steam"?

it's too problematic

stop speaking in memes all the time, you sound like a retard

you sound quite toxic - stop that

You don't break in wipeout though

Air BRAKES user

Same user, GOG would be nice but usually games without direct IP hosting for multiplayer would have to use GOG Galaxy which would probably be less active than Steam. Maybe GOG Galaxy 2.0 could change that but it'd still be DRM in a way. Have you tried Fast RMX?

weirdly, wp 2048 had some optional control scheme with a dedicated brake button that was separate from airbrakes

>2159 camera
>2280 camera
???

That's 2 physics modes, you can enable 2280 in the cheats menu. It emulates the physics from modern Wipeout games instead of the ps1

now you got me even more confused

The game has 2 physics modes, old Wipeout style physics (2159) and new Wipeout style physics (2280), you can enable the latter in the cheats menu, which is accessible from the main menu. The camera settings just let you have different cameras for each mode instead of switching back and forth.

braking is gay. buy redout and strafe around corners instead

>tfw

And then be forced to bump into walls on exit to get good times because it's faster than slowing down and keeping a good line

I love Redout and ballistic equally but the former simply does not have the nuance in level design; it actively relies on scraping walls since braking/straffing can slow you down more. Plus, the magnetic grip attachment is near mandatory for several ship classes yo turn at speed at all.
I wish 34BigThings were making Redout 2 instead of Space Assault.

*distant jpop music*

Attached: idol.jpg (637x358, 50K)

Same here. But Redout looks really pretty and some levels just make you whoa internally when playing them for the first time.

even in these webms of "optimal racing" you're bouncing off walls
that doesnt look very precise user

i dont even like ballisticng but im going to play it right now to spite you, console boy

Air breaks work a bit like hand brakes in a single direction if that makes any sense.
Pull them shortly before a corner to slide into it. Then maybe pull the other one on the turn exit to straighten out.
But on lower speeds, you don't even need that. Just learn how the controls with just the stick behave first.
Oh and try to learn the tracks and find a racing line.

This game is pure sex and fucking filled with SOUL

1. That's not optimal 2. No he isn't, he didn't even touch walls there. What you're seeing is imperfect ship pitch management + bumpy terrain that's making him bump and scrape the floor of the track.

What are the main differences between Redoubt, BallisticNG and Pacer? Are they all made by different former Studio Liverpool staff?

>he didn't play the tutorial

I missed it completely, no idea how.

How should I be utilising pitch management? I try and use it to pull back and correct landing after big jumps in a track, but other than that I have no idea.

it's just the "guide" button in the menu

BallisticNG plays pretty much exactly like the ps1 Wipeout games with the only differences being that it's more bouncy and doesn't quite punish you as hard for bumping and scraping walls. It's perfect. Redout plays like a very strange mix of Wipeout and the 2D F-Zero games, there's nothing quite like it though that's not necessarily a good thing. Pacer is just a mediocre version of modern Wipeout without a clear focus.

the idea is to be as parallel to the track as possible, at least that's what I think

Even with a controller I basically don't use the analog fonctions since the game is way too fast for that.
So no, you're actually fine even with a keyboard, but you're missing out on comfy

Attached: 1559050472521.png (534x494, 259K)

The walls generally have a sweetspot where they just push you back towards the track and don't deal damage. Knowing how much you can slide over a wall before it actually kicks you off, slows and damages you is pretty integral.
And then there's precission tracks where sliding on the walls beyond half a second costs you one tier of medal.

Attached: ballisticNG_the_walls_are_lava2.webm (640x360, 2.8M)

you're telling me people play this on a controller?

Pull back more often, it's helpful for taking sharper turns because it makes collisions more forgiving, and combined with air brakes it often gives you a good amount of bounce which makes corners easier. Pitching down is more situational, sometimes you want to stay on the track instead of jumping so lightly pitching down will help you avoid flying off the track, besides that it's used to land quicker which makes you a tiny bit faster (you lose speed if you stay in the air too long). Pitching up is very helpful and you should hold it down for entire races to get a feel of how much it changes. Pitching down you don't have to worry about until you reach the point of shaving off ms off your times in speed lap or time trials.

Even the nu-gameplay is better than the real thing, actually.

by controller I mean analog steering

Why would you play racing games on a keyboard where you only turn at one speed instead of a controller where you can turn at different speeds?

what was that other game like redout that popped up on steam roughly at the same time? (not Distance)

Some shit I found on Yea Forums:

Analog airbreakes help but not the stick. It's better with the dpad

You can be just as precise on dpad. Most people played Wipeout on dpad for years on both PS1 and PSP. I found Pure and Pulse way more comfortable on dpad than the tiny PSP nub.

I played wipe hardcore for these past 5 years or so golding every races or every entries and BNG still kick my ass off and I'm still not anywhere near the level of these webms here.

not with a 360 controller

It's shit because it's hard to turn and floaty

How the fuck are you going to operate the air brakes without a controller dipshit

Press the keys you've assigned air brakes to I imagine

BallisticNG: you're trying to thread a needle on a roller coaster.
Redout: you sit on an office chair on ice hugging a jet engine.
Formula Fusion: you're threading a needle and the air is pudding.

airbrakes aren't an on/off thing
you need to slowly and gently caress them into just the right position

>going into a corner at 800kph

They're rereleasing it as Pacer soon, because they know they kinda fucked up.
I didn't hate Formula Fusion, but I hope this next release is going to be more solid.

Attached: bng - pr002.webm (480x360, 2.48M)

easing into air brakes means more time using them, and a bigger overall hit to speed. Just give them a quick tap as you turn so you can maintain as much speed as possible.

I wonder if anyone has ever solved one of these without fucking up at one point and almost getting demoted to silver.

Attached: ballisticNG__the_walls_are_lava.webm (622x350, 2.81M)

Those ships are huge and turning doesn't look particularly "antigrav". It reminds me more of Wipeout Fusion but with narrower tracks (not a good thing).

Not when going for good times that's for sure, surprisingly the first one's the hardest to perfect in that way because of how much ultra tight scraping you have to do in the first half, even keeping bronze is tricky

they also seemingly want to cast a juden spell on the pricetag

Turning in Formula Fusion at higher speed classes is actually completely heretical, because the best way I found was to let go of the accelerator. You slow down instantly and incredibly fast, like you hit the breaks. This is pretty much required since your car is so fucking huge and the tracks not really designed for the maximum speed.
I don't think there's a track in that game where you can go full throttle with the fastest ship for more than a second or two.

Doesn't it have air brakes?

I'm UK, so I'm guessing afternoon/evening GMT. That said, I'll get a thread going beforehand so keep an eye out for that, if there isn't one already.

It does, you can even customize them to make them more slidey or give them a tighter radius.
Looking back, I wonder if there is a better way to corner with some of the more maneuverable ships. I went straight for the fastest ship every time and it made turning on these super tight tracks basically impossible without slowing down inbetween. You just have no room to slide into a corner properly and every touch of the walls is an instant speed loss and damage.

I'm UK too- our connection should be solid at least. I'll be sure to check for threads, thanks user.

This one looks pretty close to wipeout HD in terms of handling, if it is I might give it look.

The lobby yesterday had at least 1 non-UK europoor and the connection seemed to work fine, so yeah.

Doesn't have side shifting. I think it used to have it, but they removed it when it was still in early access or something.
Anyway, I'd wait for them to release it as Pacer. They said they overhauled pretty much anything. Come to think of it, I don't think you can buy it right now anyway.

i've figured out the basics of antigrav autism enough to finish the first league on expert, still hitting every wall on the zone events but i'm getting there

Do you recommend starting with expert from the start, or going through on normal and then looping back a second time?

Just start on expert

Do expert time trials and pure races immediately because they will teach you a lot about the game, leave survival challenges until you're really familiar with the tracks because they can be frustrating to restart due to their length. Besides that it's probably just best to grab expert medals if you feel confident about an event, and then come back and collect the leftovers once you're done with the campaign.

Never settle for anything less than platinum

Game has been rebalanced, scraping walls now does tons of damage and slows you down more, the only thing is some ~180 turns where you still want to bounce with the back of your ship which I don’t think is that bad.

Indiscriminately.

Straights, preferably ones with lots of boost pads because it stacks. Using it for recovery is a waste most of the time. Also cuts

It has a full campaign, some extra challenges, a DLC campaign that's coming out soon and custom fanmade campaigns with workshop tracks and ships.

>fzero is glorified freecam and can fuck off
The wipeout games have you riding on a magical cushion of "shh it's ok baby no bad momentum". Clip that wall in fzero and you die. Clip it in wipeout and you magically correct your turn because fuck physics.

lmao you have never played Wipeout

so is the game good, worthy of picking up?

You sure that's not just 10% of that campaign block? The overall campaign completion % is on the menu where you choose the campaign blocks.

Absolutely grab it if you have any interest in zero-G racing games.

i've never even played wipeout
i've played ballisticNG for about an hour and you're full of shit

considering the decent modding scene sure

I'd take a picture of platinumed hdfury if my ps3 wasn't in a box.
GX's wonky physics are abused to go fast. Wipeout's is designed from the ground up to help you hold, correct, or otherwise impossibly manipulate your directional momentum.

Good going then, user. You platting everything?

It has a decent amount of stuff to sink your teeth into, especially if you're autistic enough to care about stuff like platinum medals or getting better times in trials. There's also fanmade shit on the steam workshop and a free update is coming out later this month so it's not exactly lacking in content.

I haven't played wipeout since the psp, and I've been playing constantly since I bought it yesterday morning. It felt immediately familiar.

Ah so you played the modern casual infinite grip games instead of the ones with sliding and collisions that completely grind you to a halt. Also I can only assume that you're a shit player at GX or insane because nobody would actually defend the abomination that is snaking

mod the ships in then.

AG Systems is still best. I'm actually wearing an AG-SYS shirt now.

>Wipeout's is designed from the ground up to help you hold, correct, or otherwise impossibly manipulate your directional momentum.
>all while defending a game with quick turns that COMPLETELY cancel momentum and destroy the concept of lines through corners
Holy yikes

>learn how to anticipate corners and begin turning before you've even reach the corner

this. its really simple. in wipeout, your craft turns slowly, so you need to turn in advance because it takes time to reach full turnrate. get used to turning way in advance of the curve.

this is different from kart games like mario kart, where you can influence turnrate quickly by oversteering.

Gotta know WHEN to pitch, as well as use a bit of afterburner before that specific jump (you can see it in the webm).

Just keep playing lad even if you get an explanation it wont help much since its something you develop a feel for as you play. Bumping up the FOV gives the illusion of smoother gameplay though

This map is particularly bad

Wouldnt be so sure about saying its not worth it, this track has some cuts that would benefit from boosting so if it recovers 50-60% it might make up for it

>people play racing games with controllers?
i think Yea Forums has turned your brain to mush

Pitching actually takes a second or two to actually take effect. That might be what's throwing you off. You actually need to start pitching up way before hitting a bump so your nose is actually all the way up when you hit it.

>0:18
why do I keep hitting the ground repeatedly at that part?

You need to start pitching up when you're still going downwards. Also don't drive all the way on the left right there. As you can see, the ground is more depressed the further you get to the left at that part.

You probably go too straight, the elevation change is too sudden and you donk. Take it a bit wide while pitching up, it gives your ship time to line up with the curve of the track
