BallisticN/v/ Race Day

Also for anyone who's worried that they'll be no good - I am terrible, as can be confirmed by anyone I've raced with before. We've always had a really nice range of skills so that everyone has a competitive race.

I've only platinum'd the first two parts of the campaign and then some odd races here and there throughout the rest, it's absolutely nails man. Such an unforgiving game. Great fun though, starting to slowly memorise the tracks and realise where I'm going wrong is a reaaaal good feeling

Yeah for sure. When the muscle memory takes over the general turn control so you can focus on the pitching/afterburning is really great.
It's also super fun just to go back and shave multiple seconds off of your original times that you set way back when you just started.
For those wanting to race, we're just waiting on an alternative host (I have food but will be around to host in about 30 mins), but he's restarting his router so shouldn't be too long.

What are people's thoughts on the "modern" Wipeout physics mode? 2280 or whatever it's called

So I actually got into the series with HD Fury, so initially the controls seemed super floaty to me in BNG until I got used to them. Now 2280 controls feel hyper responsive, and with the tracks being built around OG wipeout physics it plays really weirdly.
I've not played any of the 2280 custom tracks, but it seems really intense.

Oh also make sure you have the Yea Forumspack, it's different than the previous mega

I'm good with just the Yea Forums pack for now, right?

Do you like racers with a steep but satisfying learning curve and a sense of weight? If yes then absolutely

If the videos look fun to you then yeah. I haven't played wipeout before and I love the game.

yeah, make sure it's the one updated within the last 12 hours or so

Yeah, go for it. I'm just making some food and I'll come join, and I'm completely new. All skill levels are good.

PSA, IF YOU GET KICKED ITS BECAUSE THE LOOBY WAS FULL
THERE WILL BE TWO LOBBIES

For me, it's crushing speed laps in my Gtek so every time someone ranks almost as high as me they have to see they were slower than a Gtek.

I'm downloading the Mega pack. Are both lobbies full now? I'll be in game in two minutes.

Lobby 2 still has slots!

Just downloaded it, it's missing two wipeout tracks and it seems to be someone who remade the other six despite the fact that you can just add them from the disc and put collision on them and I know someone did that. I doubt anyone here knows where to get them though.

Wipeout 3* tracks

5 in the first

Both lobbies have space

Good to see what seems like a comfy little community. Getting the wipeout games on my ps1 gon be good!

You lose about half a second from a bounce, whereas in 2097/3 you'd lose 800ms, it's extremely similar

We'll be glad to see you online!

Solid races yet again lads. Did server 2 get more people?

aye, full house

>200 fucking tracks
Am I reading this shit right? What mod pack is this exactly?

It doesn't even work because there is no one to get provoked

A few questions

-Is 2088 recommended or vanilla?

-How do you regain health? In Wipeout you could absorb weapons for health.

-Why are the time trials so hard? Am I fucking up going into pit-in every time and burning my health on boost?

>we should be fine

Did second lobby crash?

You sure are, it's just community tracks + old tracks that the devs made but didn't include in the final game

WELP there was 9.
Restarting this server now, maybe time for server 1 to come back up too?

SOMEONE START A NEW LOBBY BEFORE I PISS MYSELF

>finally full lobby
>game crash

fug

dont worry I will

kikeout 3 is trash dawg

>its extremely similar
no it isnt, you arent supposed to bounce, your supposed to make a THUD noise and lose all speed

Vanilla, 2028 is an extra mode for fun that's why it's in the cheats menu, the multiplayer is mostly vanilla physics too.

Use the pitlanes, that's it. Besides that you do get a health item if you're really low on health (

Vanilla. 2088 is just a bonus mode.

You regain health by switching to the pit lane at the starting line like a fucking man. HD was a great game but you may as well not even have shields since they casualized it so badly by letting you absorb pickups. Worst feature in the whole series.

Time trials are hard because they're supposed to be a challenge, not just a lap you check off and then move onto the next thing. They actually want you to get good at the game. Every challenge in HD you could get gold on and still be complete shit at the game, in this you need to be good to get a good time. Make sure every lap is a perfect lap and don't hit any walls. Never let go of accelerate, airbrakes can get you out of almost every situation without hitting anything. Also the old wipeouts are more forgiving than HD when it comes to wall grinds, your lines can go up against most walls and you won't get penalized. It depends on the track whether you want to go into the pit for more boost or not, generally if the pit has you turning sharply it's a no but if it's just a lane change there's no reason not to.

That's exactly what happens in BNG. What bounce are you even talking about? Point it out in a webm because you've probs got no clue how the mechanics work

But like go do that now, away from here.

yeah, you can also plasma walls

my devilish brother

Some of the tracks arent on the workshop, but you can still play on the ones you do have and sit out while others play the tracks you dont

the pack contains most of the workshop tracks, having duplicates will make you recache them after every loading screen and it takes forever

is the user here from yesterday who said he'd upload a mega of the big ass soundpack?

check the pastebin

This better have all of Enai Saizon's tracks, all of them are god tier. Honestly wished the dev would hire him so they could be put in officially or something.

of course it does

How does Enai create so many consistently good mods? I know him from all of his Skyrim work.

Dudes a machine, seems like every week theres something new and hes constantly getting better. His track got me back into the game multiple times after I felt burnt out

The madman must just be super skilled with modding and have a lot of free time.
I will be upset if the game ever gets a switch port and his stuff isn't included in it, he deserves more attention along with the game itself.

Is there a way to delete tracks ingame? Some of the tracks included in the track pack are utter shit but their filenames aren't the same as their ingame names.

nitia descent 2 when?

I think we can all agree that Tenrai are fags

you guys would know this hopefully...
is OnRush still coming to PC?

You cant, just make a new folder and drop your favorites there thats what I did

Is that the point to point race? Honestly it's a cool idea, but it turns out it's also a bad idea. Easily his worst track.

SHIT taste

I think we can all agree Wyvern is for learned intellectuals

The idea is good, it just needs to be 5 or 6 times longer to feel like an actual touge track

It's just a boring layout, absolutely no danger of hitting anything, no technical precision required, and it's over in like 35 seconds.

>slow top speed
>weak damage
>fuck all shield
Nah if you lost to a tenrai you got out fucking skilled big time and thats a fact

you're not going fast enough then
or not using the protonic

Second fastest speed class, Zen makes it take even less time. Don't know what the protonic is, I use wipeout ships.

To who just left lobby 2, we can play official maps until it's downloaded if you rejoin us!

Lobby 2 has 3 spots left, idk about lobby 1

Bullshit, play it on zen. Good lines through the endless hairpins are really tight too

two spaces free in lobby 2

4 spots left in lobby 1

I wouldn't really call them tight enough to be hairpins in the first place honestly.

the map is specifically designed for that ship

I'll try it out. But if the map is designed for that ship, it sounds to me like that's just a badly handling ship.

game is fucking amazing

lets play

but make it easy to begin with, you're making new player download all this shit manually

start with normal tracks to begin with

It's just one quick download. Takes like two minutes.

Bind pitch to something that doesnt interfere with your steering like shoulder buttons and start holding pitch up more when turning or flying in parts with elevation changes. Besides that spam air brakes as soon as you start losing control until you learn how to calmly and deliberately correct your mistakes

you gotta figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it

Poor little G-tek

like at those moments its entirely different person playing

Attached: 1561411864600.jpg (1201x800, 127K)

v pack link is all the offical pack links? official pack has like 8 links

sometimes that just happens man, it's part of learning

Yup

consistency comes with practice
if you can do perfect laps sometimes, that's a great start

You probably suck at recognizing and correcting mistakes then and just rely on anticipating everything. Learn how to fix that, if you dont know you can use the air brakes to slide yourself away from a wall. Like if youre about to hit a left wall you can press the left air brake while letting go of steering and it will slide you away from danger and let you correct your line. Theres a lot of little things like that which you can do, learn them

g-gang-g-gang-g-gang-g-gang

Also a more direct but difficult way to slide is called opposite braking which is steering and air braking in opposite directions at the same time (for example steering left while holding the right air brake). You can even use it on straights, but it slows you down a bit

official pack links minus one spergs tracks
took out the shit and duplicates
added new tracks

yeah, it would seem the game is designed around keyboard/dpad, you want to get the maximum turning right away, so using the analog stick makes wasted time that adds up. i still use a dualshock out of habit though.

there's a space for you in lobby 2

3 spots left

Can anyone tell me what the fuck is up with the drag races? It's uncontrollable?

Yeah Wipeout didn't have analog controls unless you owned a negcon after all and keyboard is just all around better than dpad. That said there's good players for both gamepad and keyboard so it's just a matter of preference

Yeah you sorta need to manipulate the airtime you get off of pitching backwards on turns to keep the proper speed up.

no sweetie

Attached: Drag.webm (800x450, 2.91M)

analog steering/brakes aren't any past like apex so yeah no reason not to play with keyboard, although you could probably set up steering on the controller bumpers instead and go from there somehow I dunno

what is wrong with you people

I downloaded the pirated version to see whether or not I'd like it. I like it so far and plan to buy it but I have no idea how to properly steer my vehicle. I keep hitting walls.

Is there any kind of beginner's guide to help me through?

Also, is playing on keyboard okay? I don't have a steering wheel controller.

Old but applicable

I'm tempted to do an indepth up to date tutorial video but it's a lot of work

the best player in the world uses keyboard, it's perfectly viable

you're a real hero if you play with a wheel

It's definitely viable, just do what feels best.
In terms of steering, get used to the pull of the airbrakes, try and anticipate a turn (but not too early) and learn when to pitch up if the track changes angle quickly.

joystick

A quick writeup to stick in the OP would be great. We need to add the tracks/music to it too for next week.

RIP

flight stick would actually be pretty fun.

Fuck, now you're making me wanna try that out.

may I suggest "ctrl - look behind" with "arrow down - drop weapon" so you can shoot while looking behind and it's not like you'll use afterburner while looking behind you

Thanks. The only other racing games I play are Kart games like Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing, and BNG feels completely different from those games.
Good to know. As much as I am getting into these anti-gravity games (like Redout as well), I don't know if it's worth buying a steering wheel just for these two games.

Still got space for 2 more in lobby 2, probably a similar amount of space in lobby 1.

I've never played Redout but as someone who has played probably a thousand hours of Wipeout over the series I can say that BNG plays exactly like an improved version of Wipeout 3, which was my favourite of the series. It also has a ton of mods and a very active modding community who make a lot of high quality shit. I never knew until now that my ideal game was just Wipeout 3 with a hundred tracks and custom music, but here we are. If you're fine with Redout and none of this appeals to you maybe it's not for you, but I have no idea how good Redout is.

Can't speak for Redout as I've never played it, but BNG is the closest you can get to a WipEout game on PC (from what I've heard)

this looks almost as smooth as AI

i swear i didn't touch her officer

THREE TREMOR DODGES IN ONE MATCH

Wipeout 1 and 2 are both on PC but even as someone who's been a fan of the series since the first game on PS1 I don't think 1 or 2097 really hold up

How do you dodge tremor?

Very differently. BNG is better because there's just more to the mechanics and tracks, the game has more grip by default but also stronger more immediate slides (which are more of a side effect of air braking than a main mechanic), air brakes are very versatile, pitching is important and constantly in use not just at key parts of the track, everything feels more dynamic and interactive. And the tracks are tight, very varied both in terms of turns and elevation and technical. Redout's very flat.

redout has a completely different appeal, both mechanically and aesthetically, some of the later space tracks have cool long jumps where you have to 3d maneuver with no track. i'd say bng is more consistently interesting, but obviously it's just a refinement of decades old ideas, whereas redout occasional has a spark of something new

1 really doesn't but I still think 2097 is a lot of fun once you get past the shitty framerate and crushing difficulty.

Nice. I'm really not starting shit or anything. I just wanted to know why each fanbase preferred their particular game. I'm gonna wait to see what the Redout fans have to say about their game if a Redout thread pops up, because I want one anti-gravity racing game to play and get good at. Never played any Wipeout games before, so I don't have any experience with those games sadly. Thanks for the input.

What the fuck is pitching?

be in mid air

I don't mind 2097 and I definitely think it's fun but I don't really get why it's the fan favourite when 3 has better and more refined physics, more technical tracks, more visually interesting tracks, and in my opinion it's where they finally really nailed the Designer's Republic / Warp Records aesthetic.

pitching the nose of the ship either up or down
you move fastest by being parallel to the track, so if you're coming up on a hill, pitch your nose up before it so you'll go up faster

Whenever you crash into the track itself it's because you should have been holding back on the stick, it controls your up / down axis

Pitching up is used for jumping higher and making soft landings, pitching down is used to land quicker from a jump (staying in the air too long slows you down) and preventing undesirable jumps. Both have an affect on how wall collision works, pitching up is particularly useful because it makes you more likely to grind along a wall rather than bump it.

Any advice to get good at classic Wipeout?

Attached: img6f73fb05zik4zj.jpg (374x224, 16K)

>which is a near-perfect clone of WipEout
Fucking trash
F zero>wipeout trash

Pretty much anything that applies to BNG will also apply to classic wipeout. What are you having trouble with specifically? My best advice is to play each speed class until you can perfect lap every track without letting go of the accelerator, and then move up to the next one.

F zero is nice because it gives the illusion of being able to race very fast even though the tracks themselves are braindead simple. I much prefer Wipeout because it's very momentum based and the tracks are... actually race tracks.

Play Wipeout XL because the progression and specific ordering of tracks will train you, and the physics are pristine

tremor is for homosexuals

mines are for heterosexuals

>spend all my shield to boost and catch up to someone just so I can tremor them
:)

Also I can't remember if it was in 1 or 2 because I haven't played them in so long but that blue shell shit BNG added is absolute cancer.

I agree that 3 is better, I do wish that we'd gotten the Special Edition in the US though.

Tremor would be fine if you could only get it while in the back few places in the pack, that way when you get hit you at least know everyone behind you is just as fucked as you are.

can the host manually toggle weapons?

all this fucking caching

It's the saddest thing about the series, the biggest fuck you is that you can emulate the SE but it will still be in 24 fps or whatever godawful framerate those crazy Euros used to play at.

I can't believe this game is only £4

I'm playing with a DS3 and steering + pitching is hell
But I just found out how to fix this. I'll try this, thanks

Was the game dev here advertising this in the Steam sale threads?

>What are you having trouble with specifically?
Mostly just clearing a turn without clipping the wall.

I shill 4 free & out of love but a deposit from the dev would be nice

It'd be cool if we could play zones online, last survivor wins

What speed class? You should be able to hit every turn on the first class without even touching the airbrakes.

I was just curious if the dev was actually here taking feedback.

Even if he was I don't even mind. I last played this when it was still shit and completely forgot about it until someone posted a thread and now it's my GOTY.

Tell me about it, the amount of content is mad and (from tonight at least) the community is based.

Current lobby?

We got so close to that in HD but they fucked it up so badly by only letting it go up to zone 30, whoever reaches it first just wins and then get fucked you're not allowed to play after that.

RIP Vagrant. Couldn't even finish lap 3 in peace.

wyvern is close to WO3 pirhana, I'd say tenrai is closest to AG sys

If any devs are in this thread can you PLEASE add the ability to choose laps in tournaments, even HD has this.

As a Wipe fan and played a loved Redout overall, objectively, Redout has issues.
BNG win by default because it's perfected Wipeout. Redout is it's own thing but isn't executed well:
>AI racers practically don't matter
>The "weapons" are shit and don't matter, the turbo is what you'll want anyway
>The passive techs don't matter, the grip one is mandatory
>Good handling but the grip is too low
>hitting walls isn't punished hard enough

It plays like a rally game, but it's faster than most Wipeout games so you spend most of the time sliding sideways anticipating every turns, this is completely antifun, especially when going through the trouble of playing clean is barely rewarded since hitting walls barely makes you lose speed.
I still loved the game but only because if you use the ship with the most grip + the grip upgrade, the handling actually make sense, you still need to anticipate, drift and transfer thrust except not annoyingly long for every single little corners

At least it's still way better than FZero/10. You get incredible looking tracks and good music, and it's fast without being Wipeout tier hard, but I still wouldn't call it a good game when there's imo only one way to play it and there's otherwise no depth, while BNG will last you 30 years with it's 2 gameplay models and 200+ tracks as of today.

Because it's just Feisar which means it's for casuals, except the difference is Feisar is still a good ship once you're a pro.

because there is nothing worse than losing to the slowest ship in the game

>Absolutely BTFO the original games
Fuck SNOY.

You can hit ships behind you with missiles if you look back and let them lock on. Cannon shoots down mines. If youre near a pitlane and have autopilot, steering in the pitlanes direction will let you take it instead of following the main path. Spending all your health on boosting is a waste because it stops speeding you up after you use about 40% of your hp. That's more or less it, the rest is just applying all of this knowledge correctly and combining it

It should be lightning fast

i mean let's be fair this game wouldn't exist at all if not for wipeout

It wouldn't exist if not for the originals, I wouldn't even say it has them BTFO, it's a refinement for sure. Plus Wipeout 3 still has a better aesthetic, it's not like it's not worth going back to.

Is my whole life a lie? Is every time trial covert easy mode and I just didn't notice?
Why would it be like that?

It's still a little "lightweight toy"-ish in physics where you just zoom and bounce off of walls. It's way faster than the originals for sure, but don't discount them for slower speed and heavier physics.

even on first startup? i just reinstalled today. everything got set up, im just waiting for the race to be over.

Also plasma can shoot down force walls, which is pretty much worthless since it takes so long to fire anyway.

Is the campaign as hard as the omega collection?
Some of those time trials are real bitches.

I still love the PS1/PSP/Vita games and I in fact still play them regularly yeah, but I can't go back to HD and Omega, the FOV is too damn low and BNG's modern controls are somehow even better than both.

it ramps up more quickly. I didn't find any of the omega campaigns difficult until over halfway through

Haven't tried omega, but I can say that the platinum time trials on BNG are ridiculous.

Can't relate, I think HD does what it's trying to do far better than BNG does HD. I definitely think that aside from the art BNG is an overall better product than the PS1 games, and Wipeout 3 only narrowly beats it aesthetically.

>perfect lap time trial making full use of overboost
>still not enough for Plat
AAAAAAAH

is this game OK for me even if i'm a disgusting casual?
i like trackmania and i got good at like, one track in f-zero gx.
i am attracted by the involved custom content community scene

I could imagine playing with a HOTAS setup

I got gold on every Omega challenge first try, thought it was so easy as to be a waste of my time. BNG is rawdogging me on time trials.

It wont automatically make you win but yeah, the game wants you to boost in bursts instead of all at once.

Oh yeah another thing thats not very relevant for racing but is vital for getting good times - antiskip is affected by your speed. The faster youre going the more lenient it is, so boosting at key points lets you skip parts that youd otherwise get penalized for. Its very risky though, you really need to know your shit to do it during a race.

I've never played one of these games before and I got the hang of it quick, but maybe that's just my finnish blood

get in
the only experience i have with anti grav was playing wipeout for ten minutes and im still having fun online
you will learn the maps and the driving quickly

crutch ship with bad speed and decent handling

it used to have good acceleration too but they kneecapped it when they nerfed all the ships in 1.0

now it's used as a flex that they beat someone with a bad ship, hence, G-TEK FLEX GANG.

It's really nothing like F-Zero. But yeah the first speed class is easy enough that even if you don't end up wanting to get good at the game you'll have a fun time.

>the game wants you to boost in bursts instead of all at once.
Oh that's what you meant. Guess my life is not a lie. I thought you meant boost just completely stopped working after 60% health which made me question if I had been the subject of the greatest placebo effect of all time.

Yeah it has a lot of speed classes and modes that anyone can have fun. Its not that much harder than a kart racer on the lowest speed class + agile ship

Most of the tracks we play are unpracticed/first time since there are so many to choose from, and you can still have fun playing casually. You don't need to memorise every corner perfectly to have a good time, a lot of us tonight were new.

Pitch up as you land and do it early since its slow. Its something you have to feel more than understand logically though. Use the afterburner button that you should have set up

>the bullshit survivals

Mother fucker those are the best way to get good at the game. You should be blessed to even have that feature, the originals didn't.

thanks for the answers, i'll pull the trigger

We'll be playing on saturday evenings GMT, so feel free to drop by whenever. Check out the Yea Forums track pack and the wipeout OSTs here too

Exactly this. Even the Yea Forums pack has almost 300 tracks so there's no way that we can know them all. Just join up and have fun!

Have fun! If you're not playing online I wouldn't recommend the Yea Forums pack because there's some serious garbage in there but I can recommend all of shroom's and Enai's tracks.

I was doing terribly to begin with but did the host suddenly drop?

I think he just means that you should have bound to a key? Maybe it's not bound by default? I just use a PS4 controller and it defaults to R1 like the old games.

Britbong is still up, come join if you wanna race.

If you can get to 50 in HD, which you should be able to with a reasonable amount of skill, you can EASILY get to 70 in this since you take way less damage in this one.

Yeah lobby is up now with people connecting so try and join again. If you can't get in now, I can't help really.

Must be something wrong with our connection to each other - it had worked fine with a USA based host when I first played a few days ago.

Dunno.

that track seems much easier though

Ah, lame. Maybe next time when the US host is around.

we need to collect some custom songs at some point for a new playlist. I've heard all the official wipeout OSTs so many times by now

Ok I know anons are saying jump right into mp but I think you should check the tutorial at least

just look for liquid dnb

jesus kickflipping christ, i just realized that if you dont finish the race in time, you risk not being able to participate in the next one. the lobby moves on without you, and your stuck in the next map's starting point.

Oh so that's why I got dropped a while ago, except it just dropped me to the menu

Is that true? That's fucked. Surely a bug, will tell it to the devs.

make a bug report

That's weird it should have dnf'd you

see, the thing is that i qualified before the timer was up, but i still got stuck

I'll make sure to tell the devs about it

sounds like extreme lag to me

>It's the saddest thing about the series
I don't know about that considering Sony fucking killed Psygnosis and we will never ever get a new game

Might actually hit bump limit soon. Will anyone be around midweek for some more multi? I don't want to wait another full week.

Yeah I'm up for it around the usual time maybe a bit earlier

Probably wont have next Saturday off, but I'll try to catch the opportunity again during the coming week.

What's a custom ship pack that's allowed in the campaign?
I just want reskins really

None are, if you want to use custom ships you have to play custom campaigns, or custom races

Yeah I'm sure I'll have time to play/host some time during the week, after work GMT time.

OG lobbies are shut down now guys cos I'm tired as heck, but thanks to all who came along. Had some great races, hope we can keep this thing going. See you next week/weekend!

Anything I should add or change? This is all about ship control

Attached: BnGuide.png (720x1200, 218K)

if you plan on making more please do one that gives a rundown on stats and the different ships

Looks good, should add that pitching's used to make landings softer, and maybe add that it's only very steep slopes that they should be worrying about so they don't get the idea that you manually have to adjust your angle all the time like I did when I was new

I mean, the game basically lays it out for a few of the ships if you bother to read. Acceleration = how long it takes to reach top speed, Top Speed = how fast it can ultimately go, Handling = turning capability, Shielding = how much damage it can take and Firepower = how much damage it deals with weapons. This isn't really complicated stuff, and just because one ship has worse handling doesn't mean it may not suit your fancy.

yup, there will be one for the non-custom ships and one for weapons/pickups

Was fun, hopefully there's more little events like this.

the best way to pad up a game with more songs without changing the feel is to nab more songs from the same artists who have their music already in.
