Well had a couple of online games last night, first observation was the actual race was lag free :D

second, I choose a venom class, so slowest ships, yet everyone was pulling away from me, its either a glitch that they restrict class, yet select different class, or there are more Venom Ships to unlock?

So I guess the only question is, are there more faster Venom Class ships to unlock?

Ships aren't class specific so yes you may well find people using the faster unlocked ships in Venom.

I have to say that i'm VERY impressed with the quality of this game. Certainly would be interesting if they plan on using this engine for anything else as it seems fairly polished :)

Could someone explain then the Classes, like Venom etc, what does that mean?

Each class relates to the highest speed the ship will reach.

Venom is the slowest, then Flash, Rapier and finally Phantom. When your playing Zone mode the speed will gradually get higher than Phantom (I normally completely loose control of the ships when it gets to Super-Phantom class).

Ah ok, so its like max speeds.

so for example

Venom allows 1000mph max speed, and a ship has 8 speed, its max would be 800mph.

then if rapier is max 2000mph, and ship has 8 speed, it would be something like 1600mph max.

Numbers are obviously out, but just to give clear example.

ok thanks.

Does the game play single songs only, or, say, if I were to post a full on DJ mix, would it just play the first song over and over, or the full mix (like warhawk's in game xmb music).

You have the option to... set "continuous" on the playback mode :)

+1 ;)

K, got a mix done, just gotta get it uploaded. First half is bassline breaks & tearout, 2nd half is UK hard house/hard dance.

Tracklisting:

The Prodigy - "Voodoo People" (Loud Beat Remix)

Autobots f. Teri Flynn & Fear Factory - "This World"

Specamin A. - "Rock This House"

Duel Calibre - "Wavin' The Four 4"

Specamin A. - "Check The Sound"

Chemical Brothers - "Block Rockin' Breaks"

Baitercell & Schmumacher f. Bex Riley - "Lock n' Load"

Aquasky v. Masterblaster - "777" (Lucky Strike Remix)

Agent Alvin & Dunsta - "Panelbeater"

Far Too Loud - "You Know The Sound"

Warp Brothers - "Blade 2005" (Club Mix)

Club Caviar - "Game Over"

Ultra-Sonic - "Annihliating Rhythm (Do You Like Your Hardcore?)" (Warp Brothers Remix)

OD404 - "9 Bar" (Dark By Design Mix)

The Edison Factor - "The Curse of Voodoo Ray"

You obviously mean uploaded to your PS3, and have no intention of posting links to copyrighted material, because that would get you in trouble here on neowin.

If you would like to discuss this further, please PM me asap :)

Well soniq is a dj, i'm sure it's his own mixes, not sure how the rules are on that.

But even still posting links to the 'remixes' would be close if he doesn't own the rights to the original material that has been remixed. Not too sure on the standing on things like that tbh :shifty:

How do you guys play, with the D Pad or the Analog stick?

I just started playing the game seriously last night, and I cannot get comfortable with which way to use.

Also as far as I know, a DJ Mix is okay to post even though it does contain copyrighted material, something to do with the fact the DJ is expressing themselves by mixing the music together or something along those lines. I know we used to have someone on Staff here who did mixes all of the time, and they were free to post theirs, so I am assuming that is why above. I can look into it some more if needed, as I am not fully clear myself on what the rules are, just basing the above on what I used to see.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
