Testing VR

Work towards inclusion of VR for 0.9.4 is currently underway on the beta branch. Right now you're able to play the entire game in VR as everything is being developed! Here's a video showcasing the current state of VR as of today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsij5YJwWEA

What's supported?


The game uses OpenVR so this means any HMD supported by SteamVR should work! Just as a side note, because of the VR integration the game now uses DX11 instead of DX9. The game will fallback to DX9 if your GPU doesn't support DX11 however.

How do I try it out?


To try out VR mode, first make sure you're on the beta branch. You can access it by right clicking the game in your library, going to properties, the beta tab on the window that opens and then select the "beta" option from the dropdown. You'll likely now want to restart Steam. When you load it back up you'll now see BallisticNG in your VR list and if you right click it again, you'll see a "Launch BallisticNG in Steam VR Mode" option. For those of you looking to run the game without Steam, you can also launch the game in VR mode using the new -vr argument. There is a .bat file next to the game's executable which will launch the game with this argument without you needing to setup a shortcut. Just make sure you've got SteamVR installed and running.

I found a bug!


If you've found a bug please let us know about it! You can do so on the new Virtual Reality forum - http://steamcommunity.com/app/473770/discussions/9/ You can expect daily beta branch updates for this next week as VR starts to take form.

0.9.4 progress update


The precision tracks for 0.9.4 are almost finished, as soon as VR is stable and the precision tracks are done 0.9.4 will be ready for release. We have something else to release alongside 0.9.4 too, stay tuned!

    BallisticNG Linux 64-bit [1.52 G]

  • Public Linux depots

  • BallisticNG - Bling Pack
    BallisticNG - Neon Nights
    BallisticNG - Outer Reaches
    BallisticNG - Maceno Island
  • Available DLCs

  • BallisticNG is an action packed anti-gravity racer developed as a lover letter to the original Wipeout trilogy. Set in the year 2159 you glide through futuristic race courses armed to the teeth with deadly weapons to aid you in taking first place.

    Features

    • 17 tracks set in unique locations, 11 of them reversible for a grand total of 28 playable tracks
    • 13 teams and a lineup of super fast drag ships
    • 14 pickups for all your combat needs
    • 6 gamemodes (Race, Time Trial, Speed Lap, Survival, Knockout and Eliminator)
    • A singleplayer campaign to challenge your skill
    • Two player splitscreen with dual-monitor support
    • A thumping 90s inspired soundtrack featuring 34 tracks spanning across Techno, Jungle, Neurofunk and Drum and Bass
    • A modding tool suite to import your own ships, build your own tracks and program your own gamemodes, weapons and more

    Physics

    BallisticNG recreates the physics of a time long gone. Playing the game is all about getting into the zone and becoming one with the ship, practicing every nook and cranny of every track until you can do it with your eyes closed. Feeling the speed isn't about what the HUD tells you, but how the environment swooshes past you and timing the right maneuvers at the right time to keep the flow going. If you're looking for a quick game, lower speed classes provide you with a more laid back experience. You can even disable weapons if you want a good clean race.

    Visuals

    The game is built as if it were running on real 90s hardware. Low poly ships and environments create simple yet visually rich scenes that can run on most hardware. Retro 3D options are available to emulate hardware limitations from the 90s, modern effects are also available so you can make the game look old, new or anywhere in-between.

    VR Support

    BallisticNG has beta VR support with no compromises on game functionality. All modes, tracks, ships, online and mod content are supported! Tweak the game with the VR options to get the most comfort out of your experience.

    Cockpit Mode

    Each ship has a unique cockpit which reflects the design you see on the exterior. When in cockpit mode the game processes the audio to make it sound authentic, complete with the sound of rain splashing on the canopy and displays flickering as you take damage from weapons, everything you need to get cosy in your high speed future racer.
