    I really want to see support for a NegCon-style controller. Also, which musicians ((besides Dub FX) do you plan on featuring for the game? I may have a few suggestions.

    Oooh.. That's a good suggestion, we should look into that. Also - the music side of things is being carefully considered. DUB is actually a great producer and sound engineer (he is very adaptable) - above what he is famous for - and he has a ton of artists he is associated with so we will tighten things up when we have the full direction sorted. There's lots of things to consider including what sound bites lend themselves to enhancing the speed element and which can be cosmetic. We also have a few novel/new approaches to how we want the music/audio to feature in the game - which should push the next gen envelope a bit.

    Please 'do' suggest music artists - music has evolved into many more genre's these days, it was much simpler back in the day. But always open to new suggestions.

    Best,
    R8 Team.

    You could give Fayyette, Rchetype and Wolfgun all a shot.

    Fayyette is a new musician. Rchetype and Wolfgun have been around for a while, and were actually heavily inspired by the older WipEout games. I often listen to their music when playing WipEout Pulse, especially Stranger. A shame that the songs outlast the races 70% of the time.

    EDIT: Are you using Km/H or m/s for speed readouts? I suggest the latter, as it is the international scientific standard.
    And how are you handling the playlist for races; one per level like in Unreal or Sonic Riders, or the whole soundtrack on shuffle like in the WipEout games? What I propose is a cross between the two, where each racetrack has its ownplaylist with the most fitting songs on it.

    meters per secound or what do you mean? Km/h would make more sence, it´s most widely used. Or why not make it an ingame-option, mph or km/h

    Meters per Second was adopted by the scientific community for scientific reasons. A game about AG technology should have at least some scientific theme to it (as the upgrade system in this game already does).

    Miles per Hour is only used in certain countries, and Kilometers per Hour doesn't really stand out because of how frequently it is used in games. Meters per Second would be a very refreshing change, and would draw just that much extra attention to the game, even if it is just a small detail. As the saying goes, every detail adds up.

    Oh, another question. Does R8 have an official website up yet? Also, I think this could really benefit from a kickstarter (among other things). Might make the development cycle be less stressful when it comes to budgeting.

    - - - - - - -


    More ideas:

    - Interactive tutorial in a computer-simulation environment, with a computer voice guiding you and a custom soundtrack specifically for the tutorial. Still fast and energetic, but at the same time softer and more ambient-sounding.

    - Palleted SVG main-textures and Palleted Bitplane detail textures. This will significantly reduce memory footprints while still allowing for very sharp textures.

    - Opus codec for music and sounds.

    - Multi-skyboxes, like in Unreal Engine 1 games, rather than boring prerendered skyboxes. You know, with separate layers for the sky, clouds (could be animated/scrolling), mountains (with parallax relative to the sky), etc.

    - A track where you are racing on a triple-deck megabridge, and constantly going up and down to find the quickest route and back (the bridge goes in two directions). And if it is a bridge that curves or is angled at any point, then that would add to the excitement.

    - A passive means of gaining extra revenue without the players having to pay anything (other than giving the game attention). Some of you may know what I am talking about; it was done during the WHD welcome back period. However, instead of taking up loading screens, have them on trackside billboards or something. Maybe give players the option to disable them.

    This made my week
    I am no longer a regular on these forums so I hadn't heard of the game, but a friend just linked me to another video of this that isn't in the thread yet. I can't wait to sink my teeth into this!

    You mean this one? Still VERY early days - but we are getting there... This is still 'pre-production'..

    @ above video:
    - vehicle movement looks like it would be some kind of on-rail system, that's not a good thing
    - vehicles are placed too close to the surface, it's like cars without wheels, seems very weird imho

    It's not on rails.. I can assure you. We are working on the hover engine to get the feel right at the moment. But thanks for the feedback. It's 'VERY' early days yet.

    The camera will be tighter in too - but more dynamic.

    I think if the camera followed the track rather than the ship (like in the PS1 WipEout games), it would look and feel a lot better as well as give off a more "anti-"gravity impression.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. That's the sort of feel we are looking for. Just bare in mind this is early stages.
