BallisticNG is the perfect Wipeout

[@marumisu9560]

BallisticNG is literally proof that you can make low demanding, low poly games that have great gameplay and graphics. We need more games like this. Not stuff like pubg where the game is almost 100% payed assets that bloat the game like mods and run horribly although I do love playing pubg(pre hacker infestation).

[@beanut7759]

Good point. Furthermore, games are becoming heavily reliant on profits, making them pretty awful. It's half of the reason why i play games before the 2010s, sometimes even from the 1980s.

[@marumisu9560]

@@beanut7759 It's government laws that make corporations insane monopolies and destroying free market capitalism. Naturally when someone has a shit ton of money, they are comfortable and happy and sort of give up. Corporations are weird monstrosities that make something successful even more successful and instead of making a product for people to make their lives better, they make a product that's more like a parasite on humanity. If anything, when a product becomes successful, you should be able to sell it at an extremely high price or rent it to the government and then that product should become public domain that anyone can use.

Presentation matters, and presentation can be done in many different ways.

[@arcticowl1091]

bro what are you talking about, pubg doesn't run like shit anymore, you could play that shit on a ryzen APU

[@Omahamaho]

this man speaks the truth AND they added VR

[@StrongZeroPowerHour]

I actually played Ballistic before I had played any of the wipeout games -- had such a great time that I went ahead and tracked down the originals!

[@TheNucaKola]

SAME!

[@arlwiss5110]

same! part of it is i can't emulate bng on my 3ds but i can get wipeout 1 and 2 going pretty smoothly

[@thedutchwolf97]

...I legit thought this was Wipeout 2097 until I saw the UI. Holy shit.

[@briankennedy3038]

I though it was Wipeout too until the video quality hit 60fps

[@bombkangaroo]

Me too.

[@chrisbrookshire861]

Same until I noticed no pop in. Then I knew

[@scalliano]

The lack of music is giving me demo disc flashbacks...

[@user-gi6hd5ol6f]

this runs so smooth i actually teared up

[@cmrd_hdcrb]

Best thing is, that I can play it in VR from the cockpit point of view. Runs butter smooth at 144FPS. And looks amazing in the process...

[@weston596]

I know this comment is old, but in it's current state, BNG is definitely a loveletter to those first three games. In spades. The entire suite. Windows, Mac, Linux, splitscreen, Steam Deck, full controller support, game mode modding, ship modding, level modding, hand-built ship importer and map building tools, even more expansions, and five hours of Jungle, Rave, Big Beat, Techno, and Drum n Bass music. Icing on the cake is it absolutely has a 95%+ approval rating.

[@batchima7551]

I'm glad I found this game. It has such a retro vibe to it. The circuits are just amazing. And in VR it's like a dream come true, like you are living the description from a 60s cyberpunk book.

[@thomasnagy5875]

I really thought this was a meme video with the real wo2097 until the end when the menu poped. This is insane!!

[@ThinkPIONEERing]

Dolby surround sound and a projector screen would do this some serious justice!!!

[@wieldylattice3015]

I can barely distinguish this from regular 2097/XL

[@manolocomanoloco7451]

besides the cleaner graphics (antialiasing and supersampling that could be done on emulator) the framerate in BNG is delicious, so fluid, i think the framerate crowns this Wipeout homage perfectly, but its more original content and tracks, and specially custom tracks like the ones made by Enai Siaion are way better than the vintage games, of course sans the spirit and nostalgia.

[@TheMasonator777]

I played a lot of Wipeout XL back in the day. This looks great.

[@jaredflynn3750]

love this game got it to play with my vr headset and it rocks.

[@krzysztoflange7484]

This view distance, smoothness and resolution... wet dream od 7 yo me back to psx era

[@Lady.Horned444]

Having started with wipEout Fusion on Ps2 I was looking for a pc port but couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked, this is a blessing upon the earth.

[@Mx64MaxyImpress]

This is definetly capture Th Remastered of 2097

[@spiderjerusalem100]

I'm buying this tomorrow in the Winter sale. It looks so sweet.

[@Uber000]

someone in the official discord actually started to rant about how people made ballistic into wipe out 3 like not the nice rants either

[@Zontar82]

Yes they're a bunch of assholes

[@selarom2018]

this is the coolest thing i've ever seen, i gotta try stuff like this in bng sometime

[@aufhflskih6830]

somebody remade XL in NG ? i knew it wasn't XL because the explosion effects look different, the background is missing & some of the sound effects & UI are different.

[@graham2105]

This is literally wipeout 2097

[@SinbadNaiver]

how did you make this look like wipeout2?! O_O

[@MotoAventuras125]

How can I obtain the Wipeout 2097 hud??? Thanks

[@Matsilagi]

BallisticNG official discord

[@tma78]

We use to play vs on the wipeout 2097. turn for turn and whomever got the fastest time won in a knockout winner takes all style tournament while drinking in high school. lets just say the russian team won me no.1 time and time again. they were hard to learn at first due to low handling, but once you got that sorted the fact they had the highest top speed out of the ships none could stand against them.

[@Shad0wX]

How the hell did you get that HUD

[@Matsilagi]

Its on their discord. On the mods section

[@BansheeNT-D]

Can't wait for BallisticNG300, with the Pure physic :D

[@doom5895]

how did you get the classic announcer?

[@TorxyElboo]

Can I get info where to get mods please?

[@synopticfusion5581]

And on which version of the game have you tested this HUD? For example, in version 1.2.5, this HUD can be enabled from the mods menu, but you cannot choose among the pre-installed HUDs, there is only Vanilla HUD and nothing else. At least that's how it is with me.

[@Matsilagi]

Always with the beta versions. Make sure to read the instructions and txt files to know what version to use and how to make it work. And in case of the WTRP stuff, make sure CodeMods are properly installed and enabled.

[@gaboaaa23]

hello, is this ballistic ng? If yes how can i make the phyisics like this? I hate the ballistics original physics.

[@term0s]

Yeah, but mods and other stuff for BNG is only available on fckn Steam, that I don't have.

[@crezrox]

I was so good at this game back in the day

[@niiranen]

This looks amazing and I want to have this MOD without using discord. I just dont like the program. But what made this video funny, was that it doesnt have music.... but my Spotfy decided to play Doh-T by Cold Storage as I was watching this :D

[@CyberLink70]

Is this mod on the Steam Workshop?

[@ChuckyIGeRI]

One of my alltime favourites, bought a n64 once Just to be able to Play wipeout 64. Great games

[@Matsilagi]

WO64 is one of the weakest versions of it, but if you tried the PSX ones, you defo enjoyed it to the max.

[@Space.Folding]

Nicely done but the unshakable feeling of being only 90% accurate makes me want a source port of WOXL and Wipeout 3 Special Edition instead.

[@yvesrn]

Emulation! It’s easy to get the original games and play them via an emulator (Duckstation, Retroarch, etc…)

[@shade221]

@@yvesrn emulation limits the frame rate and for some games and hardware configurations limits performance

[@bishubi]

[@vektor451]

BallisticNG's handling was a bit too off for me when i tried it tbf, haven't played it since

[@paxvostrum4824]

How do you play Ballistic? I'm always hitting the walls compare to Wipeout games, is there any settings i'm missing?

[@phoenixanimations5233]

Is this a mod?

[@VictorAfterAll]

Are these mods on the steam workshop or Nexus?

[@000Chill000]

It's definitely great, but there is still opportunity for improvement. Like even though you can race many of the tracks and ships from the original Wipeout, the game uses different physics. If the option to have physics from the other titles were there, it would be closer!

[@ignotumperignotius630]

this feels much closer to wipeout 3 judging by the footage

[@alandunaway3000]

If you use the 2280 physics mode, you can get it close to Fusion and subsequent games. 2159, the default physics is akin to Wipeout, 2097, 64 and 3.

[@benjidaniel5595]

Wow, the only thing missing is the EDM lol

[@SinbadNaiver]

i remember playing Wip3out on N64 :3

[@alunbuss7877]

That wasn't Wip3out or it wasn't an N64.

[@Pokaroquai]

sometimes simplistic graphics with fun gameplay is greater than realistic graphics with boring gameplay.

[@DanielAyy]

Yoo, is this like a Wipeout source port?

[@jeromegid]

Almost. It's an open source AG racing game called BallisticNG, modded to look and sound like Wipeout

​@@giannicacioli2896The reason why theyre rude is because people buy this game and just play the wipeout content, instead of looking at the origin content where a lot more of the development time and dedication lies. Its frustrating from a deveopmental perspective.
