Ballistics can be described thus:

‘Woooooooooooooooooooosh! Slam!’

It wasn’t great and the Slam! bit was a bit annoying. But the Woooosh! bit was very woooshy.

I’ve heard of Ballistics before.

Was the full version better than the demo? All I remember from the demo was hurtling through a tube at breakneck speed, with the only efforts to break up the monotony being absurdly placed triangle speed bumps that sent your vehicle from 950,000kmh back to 0 instantaneously. Is this the same game everyone is beating off to?

It wasn’t very good.

No, it sank with only a few sad ripples in the marketplace.

I’m virtually immune to vertigo in games, but Ballistics just about managed to tickle my stomach. One time a bystander actually raised a hand in front of his face and staggered. Historic just for that, but also a daring game design.

Hmm. Took me about 2/3rds of the way into the video to suss out what the game actually is. (I.e. A racing through a tube-track game.)

And, am I the only one who’s never heard of “Ballistics” before?

It looked a little slow at points but that could be from the angles they were using. The ship designs fairly fun though.

Racing games with missiles always make me pine for a new Rock and Roll Racing.

Did anyone notice how every time something was racing there seemed to be a slight deceleration every few seconds? Like a sort of hitch? Or was it just me?

Aaaaaaah, Ballistics. Was my first thought when I saw this post.

Had some great times on that game. Speeding across the tracts at sometimes 1000mph was so sweet. Disorienting too, I remember one of my friends throwing up while watching me race…

Ahhh, ballistics. Has a great game’s promise ever been so thoroughly scuppered by something so trivial?

Bloody red bricks.

Yeah the liquids don’t look great, but looks interesting enough and loved the music. I am agree with Riotpoll about the lack of speed, hope that get sorted.

Needs more SPEED, seems really slow, from the clips at least.

That first clip of going through the windy purple tube-thingy brought up some serious nostalgia: Looked much like a higher resolution version of the portals in Asheron’s Call.
