Its Sunday and that means its time to race around a loop until you fucking explode in BallisticNG

>where do I get the game
you can get it from steam or gog if you feel like paying for it but if you feel like sailing the high seas just take this
https://peenusweenus.com/files/ballisticng_1.4.0.1b_(64bit)_(81950).7z

>how do I connect
you launch the game and then go to online multiplayer, join ip, then type 131.153.242.158 for the ip

>wtf, my custom maps/models?
I was tinkering around with packs that /vm/ had, but there's some issues with shaders fucking up on my end so if this game does fine, ill vet the packs to see what shit works and what doesnt for the next time we do this.

this is the only racing game I've played that actually makes me feel like I'm the fastest moving object in the known universe

>>717792424 (OP)

>>717792501
someone hasn't played garfield kart

>>717792501
this game is not even as good as fzero gx, maybe not even as good as forza horizon 1

>>717792424 (OP)
wtf is this tranny shit
get l4d2 up

barucuda best girl

PRO TIP : if you press start your vehicle automatically plays the game for you THIS WILL NOT WIN YOU RACES

ill join in a bit. does it have to be this exact version?

>>717792578
>>717792651
Shit my bad guys, I thought this thread was about ballistics, not ballisticng

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4F0vK4sC9w

>>717793209

>>717793102
Yes. It's the most updated version if you grab the pack from the op.

>>717793260

>>717793209
>>717793260
>>717793324
disregard these posts, just hold forward like a man

>>717792424 (OP)
just so you guys know, Parashant (and possibly a couple other custom tracks) are broken on 1.4, the /vm/ hostfag plans to remove it from the pack next time it gets updated, but there's plenty of stuff in the base game to play with for a /v/an night
i can't join but hope you lads have fun

i'll join in ~3 hours, it'll probably be dead by then but i'll pray

server died?

>>717793647
dunno, im trying to join as well

>>717793578
thanks bro

DNF = DID NOT FUCK

how do you change your name

>everyone is going on perfect lines at mach 8
>i push the thruster (not even boost) once
>either i cant turn at all or instantly flip around sliding all over
ah so its a knowledge check game

putting in the IP just gives me a waiting for host prompt and it times out, is the server full or something

its FULL

>>717794539
my second server?

if it was a real lobby

>>717794890
why is this machine banned now? you changed something, i was playing with it at the start

>tracks have random fucking blind turns that go nowhere
ah so its a knowledge check game

>>717795015
some fag cried about it to make it "fair" and the host kneeled

>>717795183
>doesn't have weapons on it
>"unfair"

i remember hearing about this game all the time in indie circles (and on /v/ in shill threads) and im thankful i never got into it because this game honestly sucks ass. this driving model is garbage and how your machine responds to your inputs feels essentially random

>>717795223
take it up to man in charge, I don't make the rules lol

>>717795183
>>717795015
Yet there's still player collisions, no custom maps and weapon pads aren't permanently on at all times.

>driving along
>fall through the level
i hate this game

another successful cinema sunday

Hostfag is retarded and the race settings are dogshit, join this if you want to play the game as we on /vm/ experience it, i.e. without randomly selected repeating tracks, the slowest speedclass, ship collisions (unless you guys really like them), and mines (scourge of the game's weapon sandbox).

>>717795740
That's the default camera behavior, you can use other ones that don't do that.

>>717795595
does it make the game not suck because im used to games where you have things like traction and throttle control instead of your "car" going wherever it feels like

>>717795819
gtfo casual

>>717795595
join this one, hosted by REAL EXPERIENCED RACISTS with CORRECT SETTINGS

im literally fucking crashing out this driving model makes zero sense considering ive played a lot of driving and a lot of flying games before


race cars dont work like this, jets dont work like this, fzero didnt work like this, game making me unreasonably upset and i have to yell into the void about it

server splintering due to poncho's incompetence and never playing this game before tonight

>>717795801
>camera position influences your machine's position on the track
great game, guess im not allowed to turn cuz i drive in first person

Do I even need to say it?

anyone have that gif of a bunch of zombies spewing out of a manhole and then it cuts to an image of the joker saying "27 years without a footjob, think about what that does to a man"

this game is 100% unmitigated dogshit

alright someone open up the l4d2 lobbies

>>717795907
Will it make the game fun?

There seems to beat least 2 people in this thread that SUCK at AG racers.

>>717796635
only trannies and fags are good at this

rookie numbers bump it up

>>717796635
How about you beat my meat nigga

>>717796752
>fags are better than you at videogames
sad!

>>717796635
see me at AX in the arcade nigga (i will still lose but at least understand the game)

>>717796156
You can set first person/cockpit camera tilt to disabled/no tilt respectively to get rid of that

chirpy

>>717796752
Funny you say that *chortles* because you make it sound like an own on them but *snickers* you're getting washed by actual queers LOL. So what does that make you? Less than a faggot apparently.

when's ctr

>>717796752
you are in a queer positive server and you are getting owned by them WHAT A CHUMP

>>717796914
>camera position affects the physics of the game
sounds like a fantastically programmed game and not awful at all

>>717796752
>call people fags (who are proudly fags)

LAUGH AT THIS NIGGA

>>717797104
get on sonic riders instead I got a nasty eggman

>>717796635
>at AG racers.
is this really a genre? there's like 3 notable games in it and they all control completely different from one another

>>717796635
AGP Racers*
>>717797369
yea

>>717796752
i had sex with a chubby guy last night and guess what im doing tonight after i beat your ass lmao

>>717797369
There's a surprising amount of AG racers but almost all of them are obscure.

>>717795819
>>717795907
It certainly will make it suck less than the other one, I think.
>>717797225
Literally just false

>>717797487
then why did you imply otherwise. still the driving physics in this game are WACK and NOT FUN so saying "lol ur just bad" will not faze me as i would not enjoy being good at the game either

>>717797369
ummmm akshyually its not ANTI GRAVITY they are GROUND EFFECT machines + gravity still applie's thats why they drive like cars except when they don't ok sweety :)

>>717796752

I don't care if you spent 50 hours just to learn the controls, this sucked as a sunday game regardless. Since the last few sundays have been exceptionally bad, can we have an always active l4d2 coop server running on sundays as backup?

>>717797686
this but killing floor. the cabal plays l4d constantly. kf1 is a fun reprieve, easy to set up, and easy to get into

>only 13 people in the lobby
>still two people are AFK
it's the little things

>>717797802
They're the ones bitching about how much they suck in wip3out/ballisticNG.

>>717797563
I didn't imply anything ESL-kun, you read too deeply into something where there was nothing to read into. Also, I'm not the same anon as the one who called you bad. Please understand, this game is hard unless you've already played Wipeout.

>>717797762
were you not there a few weeks ago where kf1 died 2 hours into the server

post THAT image

>>717798095
That's just because some of the map choices were fucking horrible.

>>717797802

when ror2 again

>>717798110
this image?

>>717798205
soon but not too soon

>>717792424 (OP)
If you play this instead of wipeout, you’re a fucking loser.
Full stop, unhinged, pathetic piece of shit.
Just fuck off and don’t even attempt to make this failure of a clone a thing.

>>717798283
Forgot to add onto my post but I got owned and get paid by-weekly idk if that matters.

im gonna take a break for a couple hours, hopefully this is still ongoing by then. shits fun but man the handling around corners feels like hell. im guessing you gotta lightly tap everything to handle it, but even then i overcorrect and slam into the wall.

>>717798520
Same bwo *pauses the game to take a turn*

>>717798520
It's tricky to get used to if you haven't played the original PS1 wipeout games, especially the third one.

>indie fzero
you don't want to see what indie fzero looks like
they're all pozzed looking characters

well i managed to install some dlc. hopefully that fixes the map issues. is the lobby still up?

>>717799076
>wipeout is garbage
why

>>717799141
The official DLC or the custom maps?

my plan worked, get in cinema the real /v/an is starting

>>717799345
QUICK GET IN CINEMA A RACING MOVIE ONE AND ONLY IS STARTING

ayo speed racer in cinema queue
HOOLD THE LIIIIIIIIIINE

>>717799175
tried to be fzero but forgot that the point of a racing game is to have a responsive machine that goes fast and instead has a mushy driving model and no feeling of speed despite printing le ebin big numbers to the hud

okay fuck this, I have tried to turn ship collision off in just about any way possible and NOTHING is working just go to cinema (blackpilled)

>>717798283
is this the fabled ballistic niggy?

>>717799383
>racing game is to have a responsive machine that goes fast
retard has NEVER driven an actual sportscar
if the "machine" doesn't try to kill you on every corner, it's a sissywagon

>>717799117
>characters
case in point of why the "ag" genre dies every five seconds. it's not about the machines or driving to you people.

>>717799387
ship collision wasnt the problem that the game is shit was the problem

>>717799383
>tried to be fzero

At no point it was ever going to be f-zero. Why are you lying?

>>717799293
official

>>717799383
ag racers are more physics based than arcade games like bing bing kart or fzero. the learning curve is steeper but once you figure out how to slingshot around every corner with minimal speed loss its very satisfying

>>717799575
Sadly the better is gone since the other host had real life shit to do. As far as I know the OP lobby may or may not be still up. Also others probably don't have the DLC tracks so you can't play them unless you want the other players to be locked to the lobby while you race.

>>717799716
welp ill just call it ggs then. maybe there'll be a /vm/ or /v/ thread again for it tomorrow but who knows. i never realized you could host that easily and that forbidden copies could work.

>>717799716
Sadly the better server is gone since the other host had real life shit to do.*

Fucking hell.

>>717799435
sports cars are actually connected to the road instead of having purely decorative control surfaces

98.96.59.58

>>717799383
Retarded F-Zero schizo, F-Zero's merits have nothing to do with gamerbrained ideas about crunchmaxxed handling models (which BallisticNG and Wipeout pulled off better anyway), which is why ever F-Zero clone ranges from forgettable bland as fuck like Fast RMX/Fusion (I bet you didn't even know there was a new FAST: Racing game on Switch 2) to ugly woke concord-tier character designs like in Aero GPX (which also just does everything worse than F-Zero X or GX while trying to emulate them) to literally blatant brapzillian assetflip shovelware garbage like XF: Extreme Formula.
>>717799440
F-Zero X had great character designs and they mostly translated over well to GX, F-Zero fans (i.e. FandomTM posers and retarded nintenboomers) are just retarded and can't make a F-Zero spiritual successor worth a damn.

man playing this again is pretty fun if you know the tracks

its a the gayest people in the van playing a game full of fags episode, my favorite

>>717799972
are you not aware that even on ice, the tires are in contact with the road below them and there is nonzero traction?

>>717800887
ah so its a knowledge check kusoge where you just have to look up where you can fly over half the track and where the invisible walls are

>>717800942
>ice has traction
okay, non-driver retard who never actually been on a track
there's a good reason why people joke about "tanks on ice"
and, just as a sidenote, ballistic's arcade model is much more snappier than IRL racing because of instant turning lol, and you can just check out webms in this thread to confirm your deficency of skill

>u are just le bad!!!
doesn't change that it's a shit and unfun game with "cars" that only turn when they want to, an "airbrake" button that applies force in bizarrely chosen directions, a throttle "system" that gives you a binary input but revs up and down basically just how it feels like based on whatever triangle you're over, and tries to "simulate" "traction" with a machine that is not attached to the ground and has no feedback for what your "control" surfaces will do when you hit the button/move the stick

It changes everything that it's a good and fun game with "mechanical man-made beauties" that not only turn when you want to, an "airrape" button that applies force in satisfying chosen directions, a throttle "console" that gives you a nonbinary ouput but revs down and up basically just how it feels like you envisioned it, and tries to "articulate" "mojo" with an anti gravity speed demon that is not attached to this mortal plane and has EXTREME feedback for what your "domination" surfaces will do when you hit the pause button/flick the stick.

>>717802014
>98.96.59.58
same issue

any idea what i'm fucking up? never played it online before

I think the 98.96.59.58 p2p lobby just went down, not sure about Poncho's dedicated server lobby.

>>717802274
That means there's no server up. I just tried to join it too but the host ended it around 10 minutes ago.

>>717802214
>u are just le there!!!!!!!
It affects nothing that it's an extant and experienceable game with "objects" that not only turn and exist in time, a "movement" button that applies force in between negative infinity and infinity directions, a throttle "concept" that gives you a real number output but revs down and up basically in the totality of number space, and tries to "represent" "player controlled objects" with something similar yet dissimilar to a vehicle that may or may not be expressible in linear or nonlinear space and is observable in terms of what your "3d rendered" surfaces will do when you interact with an interface of the software

well i guess its over. what to do now?

I literally just push X and the car goes around the track flawlessly, IDK what your problem is retard.

the walls are legit magnetic in this game, i swear

>>717803707
Why don't people just git gud at the game that has no feedback on how much your craft can turn at a given time, no internal documentation that would even imply it, no way to control your throttle, and jaggles the camera around constantly while the vertices of the track jitter into and out of existence (also affecting physics) because le ebin "ps1 limitations" lowpoly meme?

The game has universal plug and play support so you don't even need to port forward if you want to host an IP lobby, just press the button and boom.

Post your art if you're so good then.

>>717803707
kek

>>717804672
actually, Quantum Redshift and XGRA are a little bit more realistic, even 2048 would be over pulse.

>>717804884
which one is better so i can try it

>>717804991
Both are pretty good but you'll probably have an easier time emulating XGRA than Quantum Redshift.

>>717798110

>>717803559
Redout 1 has the worst campaign I've gone through in a racing game, it's a list with no real forethought or sense of progression put into it, especially when the AI pretty much has all the ship upgrades. The moment-to-moment racing is alright but not amazing, knowing games like Fast RMX it can be far worse.

>>717805369
my foarking hero and the best racer in the van

>>717804991
Wipeout 2048 is the more refined/modern one, if you like Wipeout, go for it.
Quantum Redshift was made by the same director than previous Wipeout (including Pure), it's a mix between old and new wipeout, so more "floaty" than recent wipeout (starting pure), but less "floaty" than Wipeout 3/BallisticNG etc...
QR actually require you to manage "air" and "gravity" a lot, it's quite technical and very fast (faster than any wipeout), the map have various type of terrain compared to BNG/wipeout, so managing bouncing off rocks, water and cliff are extremely important, and the weapon system is not RNG, which make it more tactical.
XGRA is really good, it's more like a "perfect" version of a wipeout fusion without gravity, weapons management and overall ambiance/atmosphere are the best out of there, and it have the greatest weapon system ever build in racing game ever, the handling though is a bit tricky to get used to it. Funnily enough, Wipeout 2048 seems to have took a lot of inspiration from it for the overall design/atmosphere.

As the other anon said, XGRA will be way easier to play (dolphin work great, even in VR lol), I don't know the state of QR with xemu so... (I have my own original xbox), and 2048 can be played easily on psp emulator (even shadps4 with Omega, who know?).

If you can, play both, they are really really good. None is really better than the other one.

why did hot diggedy demon do it bros?

okay thanks

Man, I have to finish my Vita WipEouts. Got the plat in 2048 and gold medaled every event in HD. I just need to get the last gold medal in Fury to complete all three. Then play more Pulse. Not even half way through it yet.

so what did we learn
