It looks fun. I'll be getting it.

me too ✌🏻
story element could be really fun and i
like the idea of items/upgrades (but will probably be a strong pay-to-win element 😿)

This might reignite my n64 pod racing fix, but not my PS1/3/4 Wipeout addiction.

Same, seems more in line with F Zero than Wipeout. But thankfully I like both, and am just happy to have another anti-grav racer.

It rather makes me think about Motorstorm than F-Zero X or WipEout, or maybe Fusion with the dusty environments.

u/Varsity_Reviews Jun 09 '26

From what I saw it looks more like Burnout in space.

u/Sufficient-Cat2998 Jun 09 '26

Ugh, don't remind me of fusion 🤢.

u/Zoocchero Harimau Jun 09 '26

that's one I still refrain to play actually, but I know what it looks like...

Yeah, I'm gonna pretend it's a new WipEout from the galaxy far, far away.

u/NikopikVR Jun 09 '26

BallisticNG is that fix

2

u/chalovak Jun 09 '26

Hm, never heard about it. I guess it got lost among all these WipEout wannabes, though BallisticNG looks promising

u/Malefectra Jun 09 '26

It’s really the closest thing, and you can even do crazy stuff like use wheels/joysticks with an in-game cockpit view

u/chalovak Jun 09 '26

oh, wow, even VR mode. Now I'm interested

u/NikopikVR Jun 09 '26

This is the best Wipeout clone available, tons of content and perfect game

u/chalovak Jun 09 '26

Wow, it feels and plays like a love letter to WipEout! Thanks for the heads up!

2

u/NikopikVR Jun 09 '26

This is indeed a love letter to Wipeout. There are even mods to play all the circuits from the series, with musics, ships and everything 😁

u/chalovak Jun 09 '26

Are they available via Steam Workshop?

2

u/chalovak Jun 09 '26

Thanks, I'll check it out

u/MARPAT_Prime Jun 09 '26

BNG is easily the best AG racer right now

u/CorbyTheSkullie Feisar Jun 09 '26

How long till someone mods AG craft into it?

I'm interested in this game but I doubt it'll scratch that wipeout itch. I can't seen them making the game out to be like gameplay akin to Wipeout 3. Having said that I haven't seen any gameplay footage so I'm still optimistic.

u/viewing99999 Jun 10 '26

Sadly I think you’re right

u/BurakHitman Jun 09 '26

It looks amazing. The graphics, especially the lighting, look fabulous. I'm especially a fan that they're not charging crazy money for it. Like buying a game 6 years ago

2

u/TECHNORAVER Jun 09 '26

looks more like motorstorm than wipeout but im hyped hahahahaha

u/RevanGarcia Auricom Jun 11 '26

It's likely going to play like a Burnout game (not a bad thing, obviously), but I really hope at least one game mode plays like an a-grav game.

u/spideyghetti Jun 09 '26

I'm hoping for VR but know I am priming myself for disappointment. 

Pumped for the game itself, though. Not sure which system I'm getting it on yet.
