What is AG?
Comment on Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay Trailer

I literally don’t care that it’s star wars.
I’m just happy to see AG racing still be alive.
WipEout and F-Zero are gone, seemingly never to return.

It stands for Anti-Gravity. In the late 90s and early 00s, it was somewhat of a niche genre. Basically it was a racing game where your ride didn’t have wheels.

You should check out Redout then!

I have.
But Redout isn’t big enough to bring a lot new AG players in.
This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will.
And that’s the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it’s mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.

I will mention something that looks cool and reminiscent of F-Zero, Hyper Sonic GP. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Hypersonic_GP/
Single player only though, but looks interesting.

reminiscent of F-Zero
Pretty sure that’s because the guy is literally recycling assets from F-Zero GX. 🤣

Yes, the question is: it’s just another Wipeout ripoff or something new?

Prequel movie interest or opinion doesn’t matter, the first game on N64/Dreamcast/PC was incredible regardless. I replayed recently and it’s still good. Love the damage model/repairing and being able to buy used parts from the junkyard, and maybe controversial but I vastly prefer Racer handling and course design to Wipeout.
I didn’t watch the Disney stuff at all and won’t, potentially this scratches the same itch. I hope so anyways. I couldn’t get into the PS2 sequel so it’s possible to disappoint.
