Radial-G : Racing Revolved

I absolutely love the concept of this game. It's definitely tons of fun... for the first hour or so. My major problem is, there's really no diversity in the tracks, aside from them looking different. Each track still plays the exact same way and doesn't change. They feel very.... static to me. There's no real hazards in the levels, and the only way you can pass someone is if you time your speedups right and don't mess up, or wait for them to mess up. But as it stands right now, it's fairly easy to be that "perfect player" that hits all the speed boosts and doesn't mess up. I don't want to be that guy, but the tracks should be more engaging and dynamic, because they just feel bland. And this is just a suggestion, but why not add some special abilities to the vehicles, and the white aura thingies recharge said abilities? For example, let's say vehicle A's special ability is a minor speed boost, and vehicle B's ability is a knockback, and vehicle C's would be something like missiles that...

Radial-G is not Redout nor Wipeout. All of the tracks are tubular though not in their entirely, an important point from strategic racing perspective as you will want to maintain a downhill perspective for both time and visuals. For a small Indie effort and price there are enough tracks and ships, though the best ship is locked behind a multi-player level gate. There are multiple modes; Battle (most positioning points over 4 races), Time Trial, Race, Eliminator, Rival and Combat (weapons included). You'll breeze through the first of the two single player tiers or at least I did. The third tier is quite the challenge and this is where the game shines. While the game awards "PASS" just with a bronze trophy, the third tier will have you racing for a while. The A.I. at the higher difficulties thankfully is not of the rubber variety and seems very human. The tracks have obstacles. Some will slow you down and some will force you off the track but they are clearly marked as such. ...

I know I haven't played it for long, but the reasons why I can't recommend it aren't very hard to check 5 minutes in. I actually went through with testing the actual game instead of judging it on its cover, but it still feels the same after a handful of races with a few ships : this game looks and feels cheap. The trailer made me think it could be like a not so hard but slick racing game. I had seen previews and hands on online, obviously focused on the VR aspect of the game. Anyone who's ever played a Wip3out game inside the cockpit or Ballistics knows how intense the experience can become with a VR headset. Being a fan of the later, I was hyped, hooked, or whatever... So here I am, and here it is. The game itself is OK at best. Nothing like a good old face strecher heart pumping techno blasting awesome futuristic suicidal speedy racing game, but... like "OK, that will do for now". I can't comment on the VR aspect off the game, though I will say that if playing it VR is the only w...

Revisiting this game after a while and a lot has changed! Better sound (engine sound), new content and now weapons added. I play this game in VR (Vive) and it looks stunning. Real sense of presence. Tracks look stunning and the sense of speed is impressive. For those who think this game consists of just avoiding red gates and hitting speed boosts.. wrong. When racing with a faster ship you need to get used to breaking on some turns. Combat mode makes it a whole lot more involved as you have to try and avoid competitor weapons and pick up weapons yourself. Radial-G should be regarded as a showcase game for VR.

Great VR racing game. The game is good even without VR. Admittedly at first, I was hoping for a Wipeout clone... this isn't it. It's actually different and I think better. It's like a Wipeout game, but for a new age. Add VR... A latest patch (v0.9) makes VR easy and work very well. One of the very best VR games I've played so far. I'd recommend this games for any fan of this type of racing, and this is a MUST HAVE game for anybody with VR. (playing with a DK1, I'm sure newer tech will be even better)

So far, So good !! Runs straight onto the Oculus Rift DK2 from the launch options in the Steam Library window with ABSOLUTELY NO FUSS and it looks B-E-A-utiful !! I am not running an amazing set up: I5 cpu, 8gb RAM, Nvidia gtx 750 2GB. As I write this, there are only 3 Ship Types and 3 Tracks but if you visit the steam forum you will see that not only is there a lot more planned for this game but the developers seem to be listening to what the community have in the way of input towards the game content. This is a Nice, Fast Adrenaline Fest !!

I've played Radial-G since the Kickstarter demo, and I absolutely love this game! It's like a cross between wipEout and Ballistics (remember that?) and it's just so fun to play. Tammeka Games has created the best expression of going fast that is available on Steam, and the early access is only the beginning. I play this on a normal monitor and it plays absolutely fine. You don't need an Oculus to play, although I can imagine it's awesome when played that way. Grab your own copy, and let's get some multiplayer going!

Great game love it , if you like fast racing games this is the game for you and with vr it is mind blowing. 5 star

It's funny how so many developers believe that just because THEY make a game everyone is going to choose THEIR game to play together online instead of the thousands of other multiplayer titles available It's a competent racer but the deal breaker for this game is that the better vehicles can only be unlocked by gaining XP with live players in Multiplayer The servers are, of course, dead and that means you will never have access to those ships You can race AI waiting for a drop in but you can't score XP in an MP match only inhabited by bots

I first played this 1st person Wipeout inspired game back in the Oculus DK1 days as a free demo which showed great promise. Somewhere along the way, the potential crashed just like you'll do many, many times in this confusing racer. The premise is simple - Wipeout in ships that can race on the outside of tubes. Back in the early days of VR, roller coaster rides were very popular, and developers were competing to make the sickest rides, and it feels as though the devs of this game had the ambition to combine the fastest, most gut wrenching roller coaster ride, with an actual game... and failed. At these speeds, the concept of an extremely twisted track will cause the average player to be on the "underside" of the tube pretty often, which means you can only see the track a few meters in front of you. So unless you know the track by heart, anything you do at this point is pure luck - you have no idea whether to turn left or right or stay put. Furthermore, the handling of the ships t...
