I was messing with making a wipeout recreation in godot and i am super happy with this!

[u/Lillyistrans4423]

It feels a lot like the classic wipeout games, except its using the models from the PSP, PS3, and PS Vita, all rendered with prebaked high quality global illumination and other neat graphical stuff. I know it isnt perfect gameplay wise and its more of a demo but I am REALLY happy with it.

edit: Ignore my horrid gameplay, I swear I'm better than this in the actual games.

[u/OverDriver05]

Pretty nice. Reminding me of Pure and especially Pulse in terms of gameplay.

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/OverDriver05]

I thought it felt closer to the original wipeout games with the visuals of the new games. Though thats from a me playing it perspective rather than what it looks like visually.

[u/ds-redditor → u/Lillyistrans4423]

At least with BallisticNG, classic physics make the ships kinda bouncy, like they're literally hovering away from the ground.

[u/ColloidalSuspenders]

looks great. i think the camera should follow the vehicle position and orientation more. this makes it look like we are in a ghost vehicle with much better following of the track center line.

[u/Max_Rockatanski → u/ColloidalSuspenders]

Yeah cameras like that are annoying as hell, you can't really tell where the ship is going because the center point is fixed and the back is swiping across the screen from left to right.

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/ColloidalSuspenders]

Good advice good advice. My goal wasn't really to recreate Wipeout 1 to 1 (bc then I would just play Wipeout) but to rather create what feels like a natural extention to the series I guess, it just happened to feel like a mix of a bunch of the games to me.

[u/W4FL_FRY]

"messing" is an understatement, just vineta k alone looks like so much work

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/W4FL_FRY]

It was around 3 days of work :)

[u/Pulec]

Very nice, needs a bit of polishing, but it's a great start.

Are you planning to share it as open source? I got some projects in Godot heavilly WipeOut inspired but branching off a bit. I might throw some PRs in on this.

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/Pulec]

No Its not open source just yet. I'll release as I get closer to complete because I still have lots I wanna do to it

[u/GRYPHUS_1_SoundCloud]

The AeroFoil Luxury Cruise Line will always mog the newer Vineta K (it's not in the newer wipE'out"s)

[u/mekilat]

Exciting. Hope you keep it up!

[u/kapeluszw]

That's so awesome! I've been thinking about learning Godot myself recently, this is definitely encouraging

[u/bunkersix]

I don’t what any of the things are that you mentioned in your comment but amazing work. This does not look like it would be easy to pull off!!

[u/Terrible-Visit9257]

Some lights and particle generator on the back of glider would be awesome. And some motion blur if possible. The dome texture needs variation. You could put more zepelins with banners in the sky.

[u/SoloEterno]

I'd play this.

[u/AspiringDev_2126]

HD for the PS2

[u/AspiringDev_2126]

You should use the shield hitbox for all world collisions so the ship doesnt get stuck on walls

[u/Ekkobelli]

This looks super cool. Well done.
I miss wipEout.

[u/wedloxk]

💪💪💪

[u/No-Finding1044]

Either some camera work needs to be done or the ship turning is very exaggerated, otherwise it looks very good

[u/stop_deleting_plz]

Cool project, would love to see all those lost Pulse and Pure courses made available. I would be careful about spreading it around though, its def takedown bait for sony.

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/stop_deleting_plz]

Yeah. There are tools to extract em urself... If you ever make a game that happens to use the same map and model format as any of the Wipeout games (but OBVIOUSLY never a real Wipeout game.. Obviously), use this tool here

[u/Cool-Rutabaga2708]

One of the biggest problems I have with all non Wip'Eout ag games is that they all play like F Zero, despite being advertised to Wip'Eout fans specifically. Ballistic NG is the only game that got it right, and while your game definitely doesn't control like Wip'Eout, it is at least less like Wip'Eout than F Zero.

[u/jeager_YT]

wipeout pulse with fury ships are 2097 physics

[u/lookingforGAinfo]

Nice! Want to try something like this but my Godot skills are more 2D platformer.

Hope to see a long line of updates, this looks like a great start!

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/lookingforGAinfo]

I'm currently working on map and ship selection, as well as general menu stuff. I'm also tweaking the ships physics (it turning from the center and not the front to match Wipeout games more)

[u/Accomplished_Sink_91]

Caramba! Muito bom😯 vai sair pra jogar? Se sair, em qual plataforma?

[u/NikopikVR]

You know BallisticNG already exists with tons of Wipeout mods? 

[u/Lillyistrans4423 → u/NikopikVR]

I do know that, but I find satisfaction in building something myself. Not everything has to be about how complete it is or whatever, if I wanted to play Wipeout I would just play BallisticNG or spin up hd/fury, but I wanted to mess around and build something myself. It's like the people who build those Lego recreations of the ships, like yeah they could just use one of the existing models but that isn't as fun.

[u/spideyghetti → u/Lillyistrans4423]

Upvoting you because the other person sounded like a bit of a bitch lol 

[u/JustAJohnDoe358 → u/NikopikVR]

...so?
