Wait... Wii U release? Really!? I'd buy the :turd outta that!

Also what does "NG" stand for? is it "No Gravity"?

Hopefully, providing you won't need a WiiU devkit to get it on the WiiU I'll get it on there :)

NG is for Negative-Gravity, then ballistic is because the game will have a focus on weapons as well as straight up racing.

I thought the Ballistic part was to do with the projectile trajectory since ballistics studies the trajectory of objects affected by gravity, not weapons! Haha
(hence why the first Wipeout had Ballistic Anti-Gravity Racing as its name, because the ships are still affected by gravity, on jumps and such)
But bullets and missiles are ballistic objects so I guess you can relate it to weapons through that.

So, we're talking about the game's title huh?

I had been suggesting Relapse for quite a long time, as it's a homage to Wipeout's original meaning: A wipe out from ecstasy intake. The "relapse" part is where we feel the need for another wipeout [game].

Cheeky, I know. It's like the Circle of Taking Drugs. nvr do druqs kidz

That's brilliant. You're brilliant. That perfectly defines the WipEout community right now while being "cheeky" about it. I think it would make a great title.

uh I know it's early but I have a feature request.

I saw in the later games (pure, pulse, and HD) that the tracks lost their extreme features. Features I would like to see are BIG JUMPS, Loops, Corkscrews, Wall-rides, big drops, big climbs, flips and other stuff that I couldn't think of.

Big jumps? Definitely. Cockscrews? Of course. Flips and anythng else not mentioned that's awesome? Comes as standard. Loops? Hmm....

The physics now is quite strict in terms of track-to-ship relationship. Loops might not work here, Snake doesn't have Magstrips in the remake in mind. :|

Magstrips would wreck the feel of the old physics. Massive jumps absolutely, needed pitch control on multiple bumps in a row would also be very welcome. Bouncy ships like wo1 Would be great too, but maybe a little less

Been playing the demo and it's pretty good ... but it's way too fast to enjoy the game itself :brickwall

Do you think you can implement some Vector or Venom class ? :D

thanks !

I have a thought. How about the entire soundtrack is named after drugs. So far you have "Crystal Method" you could have the other songs have drug puns like "Acid Tripper" or something. XD
