Shattered Horizon... not plural.

Like Westy said, there's been quite a few zero g shooters already. Descent, Forsaken, Terracide, Magic Carpet and pretty much all of these have done this shtick for decades. I think even Duke 3D, or one of its expansions, had anti-gravity levels where you could run on the walls and ceilings. You can put AVP in there too and the motion in the video above is also very reminiscent of Tribes.

It may yet be a good game, but it's just another take at something the genre has been doing for a long time.

Of course it's easy to do when you got them Japanese anti-gravity shoes from the future!

In my opinion:

Does the girl deserve a whoop ass (ideally from her parents)? Not sure, but given her attitude, probably yes.

Does she deserve a kick in the stomach, face smashed against the wall, kissing the concrete floor, double sucker punch and anti-gravity hair pull? Mmmmm... No.

I kinda like the definition of levitation... even though he fails on all points..
If you are to suspend yourself against gravity (all gravity).. You would no longer fall towards the earth, and as the earth moves you would simply continue on your on trajectory trough (and your corpse will fly out of) our solar system at roughly 100,000 km/h.
I'm sure if you do it inside, you might be able to stay on earth due to the surrounding walls, but you better hope there's noone around who wanna play a prank on "the floating guy who tries to pick up girls using magic tricks"... I mean.. once you establish how to have gravity not affect you, it might take some time to figure out how to reverse it..


You need to go back to physics 1 and revisit relative motion. In the universe you describe above (100Mm/h bloodstain) you also wouldn't be able to throw a tennis ball straight up while riding inside a train without the ball impaling you as soon as it leaves your hand...

anti-gravity or levitation is simply finding a way to produce and apply a constant force of 9.8 m/s^2 in the "up" direction. ("up" defined as the vector pointing away from the center of the earth).

q.e.d. this guy fails at life.

The flying car that everyone was promised (or for many of us here.. that their parents were promised) won't be safe to use unless the following happen:

1.) Anti-gravity technology in a compact scale can be mass produced. (good luck with that one)

2.) It would need an auto-navigation with backups systems for the backup systems (you don't want every tom,dick and harry flying cars above your head just because they can pass a vision test)

3.) Might as well thow in shield technology... might just end up like a bumper car madness in the cities.

4.) Ejection seats with winggliding parachutes are provided (auto deployed by your nanobots in your body if ejected.)

Well, extraterrestrials are quite real. The, ah, "source" for this information claims that the universe really does look as diverse as the cantina in Star Wars.

My argument with the "source" was if the alien technology was so advanced, why dissect cows? Can't they download all that information? The answer was that aliens are devoid of and do not understand human emotions.

Supposedly the main alien groups are the "grays" (the generic Area 51 midgets) and the "reptoids". What they want is either too complex or ridiculous to imagine, and as there is no solid proof for any of it, the skeptics must rule.

After hearing all this, I was madder that the ET retards have anti-gravity tech and dimensional warp drives while we with our "love" can only make lame hoverboards with leaf blower engines.

^ Yeah, enough of this rocket engine crap. Can we get to work on anti-gravity travel already?

Wipeout has been one of my favorite games since it's release on the PC, it was the first I remember playing that would really convey the feeling of actually racing at preposterous speeds.

The interesting thing is that the original developers actually hired professional designers to come up with the distinctive look and feel of the futuristic world, especially in the logos and various billboards around the race tracks. Some of which you can see in the video above.

The soundtrack was perfect as well featuring throughout the series artists like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Leftfield and Cold Storage. Electronic techno beats that leaded themselves perfectly to the anti-gravity racing.

"Anti-Gravity" would have been a more fitting title. - But it's still a good video with a great point.


Yeah it is a good point. I totally believed it....up until the point when the pen started moving. I think this would have more effect on me if the CGI was of a high enough quality that I couldn't tell right away it was CGI.

"Anti-Gravity" would have been a more fitting title. - But it's still a good video with a great point.

I like this post, but I think as well the explanation of this being any sort of anti-gravity effect is null and void. This is simple fluid dynamics with a bit of the effect we see in a non-newtonian substance sitting on a speaker. It is possible the bottle is filled with a syrup like substance to help promote the effect of fluid shaping caused by a harmonic frequency. I can't explain the full effect of the spheres without consulting my dynamics books but I'm guessing it's a frequency/resonance effect going on here. I would be very skeptic of any anti-gravity/planetary effect here.

FUNNEEEE SHIT!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahah! worst demo ever!

this guy has got some serious self belief!

swimming without water lol. is he going to fit anti gravity generators on there to mimic the feeling of floating?

oh i am so glad i saw this. can we make a "stupid self link" gallery so i can upvote this?

no one is claiming that ion wind levitation of balsa/foil "lifters" is pseudoscience. that is obviously real. that does not mean that the claims of these people that there is some super-secret new anti-gravity physics they have discovered is real. it isn't. its bunk and pseudoscience. numerous other people have explained why these claims are nonsense far better than I can here. the simplest of searches shows this to be the case.

Or "Anti Gravity"
