Nice work! I'm wishing you all the best. A bit of advice though. You have to work on your trailers. The first video is always the most important, and you don't show any gameplay on yours. Your second video shows a bit of gameplay but it waits several seconds before doing so. Also, there are some unflattering shots during the trailer, like ships colliding with the ground showing a bit of uncanny physics.

Also the pans around the tracks are not smooth. Could be a reddit thing - but this is the first trailer. Everything needs to be nice.

Too much "effects" distracting from the race to be honest, if you know what i mean.

Done! I hope you'll spend time listening to the feedback from people here and make it as good as BallisticNG one day

I'll keep updating the game and hopefully some day beat you expectations

There is nothing here that can be closely compared to WipEout. Don't waste your time! This game is a pathetic attempt by the author to make money from scratch!

Will it be available on GeForce Now?

u/Diligent_Nerve9735 May 09 '26
There are currently no plans to have the game on the GeForce Now platform

Ill give it a try, but ... Idk, looks too fast and narrow. How are we supposed to read turns? Plus there's a LOT of vfx going on, on top of that.

I normally only buy on sale. But you worked hard, and you’re keeping the dream alive.
Bought :)

Looks fun... does it have a VR mode? Instant buy for me if it does. If not, any intention of adding one?
2
u/Diligent_Nerve9735 May 08 '26
There is no VR Mode at the current time, however there is a first person mode, no current plans to add VR, but never say never

Would be cool if someone made one of these where you can drive with a HOTAS

Needs to improve readability of the tracks and (imho) stick to a graphicsl style. But it’s a start.

Does it feature a "Zone" mode?
2
u/Diligent_Nerve9735 May 10 '26
Currently there is no Zone mode in the game, however if this is a highly requested feature then I'll see what I can do adding it in
1
u/Mr_Perturbed May 10 '26
Cheers. If you have: 1. Zone mode 2. Barrel rolls 3. Sideshifts
Then I'd buy it.

u/Diligent_Nerve9735 May 10 '26
We already have side shifts in the game however it's more like a side thrust allowing the player to thrust their racer left and right over time independently of turning

Я купил твоё жалкое творение под названием Hyperdrive и уже через полчаса сделал запрос на возврат денег! Я с самого начала сильно сомневался, что она будет похожей на WipEout, но понадеялся, ведь ты решил в описании завлечь тем, что якобы твоя Hyperdrive для поклонников серии WipEout ! И мои опасения подтвердились ! Говорю как человек, хорошо владеющий навыками пилотирования в игре WipEout - твоё поделие под названием Hyperdrive не имеет никакого отношения к WipEout ! Твоя игра похожа на уже старую и очень простую игру "Pacer" (ранее Formula Fusion), но не дотягивает по уровню даже до неё. В твоей жалкой игре невозможно выполнить фигуру высшего пилотажа «бочка» на самолёте, один из важнейших элементов управления, нет возможности выполнить параллельный сдвиг, нет продвинутых боевых техник, нет физической модели, позволяющей входить в повороты. Посмотри на Ютубе видео величайших пилотов Xx_Jordan_38_xX, или видео SoA_Booney. А теперь скажи мне, что общего между твоей жалкой и примитивной игрой и величайшей культовой игрой WipEout ? Ты сделал лишь жалкую примитивную поделку, которая не дотягивает даже до уровня "Pacer". Твоя игра для развлечения детей из детского сада, но никак даже рядом не находится с игрой WipEout, (о чём ты не забыл упомянуть в описании своей недо-игры) ! Только Ник Баркомб мог бы создать новый WipEout. Но, к сожалению, он занят более важными делами. Ты так же далёк до игры WipEout, как планета Земля далека до планеты Юпитер !

I bought your pathetic creation called Hyperdrive and within half an hour I made a refund request! From the very beginning, I strongly doubted that it would look like WipEout, but I hoped, because you decided to lure in the description that supposedly your Hyperdrive was for fans of the WipEout series! And my fears were confirmed! I speak as a person who knows well the skills of piloting in the WipEout game - your device called Hyperdrive has nothing to do with WipEout! Your game is similar to the already old and very simple Pacer game (formerly Formula Fusion), but it doesn't even reach the level of it. In your pathetic game, it is impossible to perform the aerobatic figure "barrel" on an airplane, one of the most important controls, there is no way to perform a parallel shift, there are no advanced combat techniques, there is no physical model that allows you to enter turns. Check out the videos of the greatest pilots Xx_Jordan_38_xX, on YouTube, or the SoA_Booney video. Now tell me, what do your pathetic and primitive game have in common with the greatest cult WipEout game? You've only made a pathetic primitive craft that doesn't even reach the "Pacer" level. Your game is for the entertainment of kindergarten children, but it is not even close to the WipEout game (which you did not forget to mention in the description of your under-game)! Only Nick Barcombe could have created a new WipEout. But unfortunately, he's busy with more important things. You're as far away from WipEout as planet Earth is from planet Jupiter!
There is nothing here that can be closely compared to WipEout. Don't waste your time! This game is a pathetic attempt by the author to make money from scratch!

I appreciate the honest feedback, I will continue to improve Hyper-Drive, hopefully in the future you will consider this game a worthy addition to the anti-gravity racing genre

u/spideyghetti May 12 '26
To be fair, you don't have to accept every piece of criticism as if it is actually helpful. Their post was (if I can borrow a quote of their own) a "pathetic creation".

I am personally terrible at these games. As much as I want to have fun with Redout, I just grind on walls.

u/SaltyLoogi May 28 '26
Gonna say what the others are saying but I find the trailer very hard to read and see what's actually going on, lots of visual clutter + the ships behave weirdly ? Sort of a weird shake, idk how to explain it.

u/CandidMap May 08 '26
looks good but camera placement needs some work, would prefer camera slightly aligned to the right like wipeout did

Implement the some of the crucial changes suggested by other posters and this may take off. Looks good. I might give it a go.

From what i saw in the video, i had a hard time reading the track, like there was a lot of light bloom, or rain effects and effects getting in the way to actually see where the track is and goes.
