BallisticNG | 1.3.1 Harpstone Forward/Reverse

[@TheVectronic]

The new environmental changes to Harpstone will take getting used to, but I generally love the snow-centered layout of the track. I'm a bit bummed out since seeing the cliffside at the start of the track was my favorite part of the environment, but it makes more sense to have more buildings at the start of the track. I'll look forward to playing this, especially the gorgeous rendition of the Reverse track here. GOD THE AURORAS ARE GORGEOUS. Big round of applause who came up with that idea.

I remember the old posts of yours that were like "yeah this is the last time the standard tracks get updated". Good you didn't kept that promise.

[@LazarheaD]

Call it BallisticNg 2 at this point, just thanks for the content , and the possibillities given to content creators.

The snowy landscape is beautiful. Looking forward to the (infamous) Luna layout update.

[@artkuzon2706]

Its gorgeus, especially the reverse

[@anna-sobieska7151]

This version is radiccaly different of the current ! And look amazing !

[@KS-dq2sx]

It looks good, though I do miss the old Metro and Omega Harbour. Hopefully somebody can add them to the workshop.

[@migueeeelet]

iirc the devs keep all old versions in the workshop

[@KS-dq2sx]

@@migueeeelet The last versions of Omega Harbour and Metro are not among the workshop tracks, the Omega Harbour on the workshop is the one before the last that was replaced, I'm quite sure anyway.

[@AED_001]

love this! it reminds me of the OG 0.3 harpstone in terms of looks, but with much more detail

[@HAL-mg4wy]

Pure aesthetics.

[@ectacolia42]

Great! The pit lane in the old version was pretty awkward and the reverse looks much more fun now.

[@astrea555]

Looks gorgeous but was the layout simplified here? Everytime some tracks gets updated it becomes easier it feels like, when I wish it was the opposite and they gained a tough turn here and there. As much as I like updated content all I want at this point are online balance updates instead, netcode improvements, more/new weapons etc

[@Sareth94]

Not gonna lie, I 'm not sure like the harpstone rework. I feel like this game is slipping away from it's "PSX"-style visuals into more and more detailed visuals, that don't really catch the same vibe for me :/ The tunnels are somehow way more visually busy with all the yellow & black tape, but all the rock surfaces now appear in almost featureless grey gradients. The track surface & sidewall doesn't look like it's covered in cruddy snow anymore, and the poor backdrop northern lights now *really* look out of place against the updated detail of the stage. I also really miss the cliffside start, this latent promise that there is a 1000ft death drop right next to the starting line - in the new one it barely feels like a cliffside mountain track anymore. But we get one more boxed in generic start next to rows of stadium seats... yaaay... What was previously a dark blue & almsot cramped track, now feels like every other... neon lights everywhere, clean track, wide tunnels, boxed in start... Idk man, not feeling it. Don't know why the slinky in the lightbridge and the chicane needed to be gone. It's already a quite toothless track, as it was - no it has even less to throw against you. The games original tracks are already often so 'basic', compared to what the community trusts itself to ride. Why make it even simpler? I remember feeling the same way about the Omega Harbour rework, when it took the the 'main feature' of that track from an open-sided death spiral through skywalks and buildings to a wide open, sidewalled gutter-slide.

[@zactizmgamez4589]

I might want those tracks to be Revamped like Aciknovae, Nova Split, Luna, Dover or Atlantica.

[@camrynofspades]

i actually thought this was another dlc for a second there

[@TheCoincidence]

Where'd that chicane go?

[@fartsalad2456]

im too stupid to pilot omnicom

[@KarimABDELLAH]

Could you please make it playable on GeForce Now ? 🙏

[@smthngbd]

I don't like the new track very much. The old wipeout-style hazard lines were better.
