I really like it, I must admit I didn't right away as I was a bit rusty with the trigger turning and that first track was pretty tricky. But didn't take long to get addicted to unlocking stuff and loving it.

It's seems like it's a better game than I thought it would be, and I thought it was going to be really good. So far, I'm damn amazed. Maybe the best looking game I've ever seen.

I just realised we're now playing Wipeout with better graphics than from the original Wipeout fmv that everyone creamed over at the beginning of the first game.

Custom soundtracks! Set that up last night and it really adds a lot. First time I've ever even bothered using the feature.
Also I tried out a couple of online races and no lag that I noticed, very smooth, even though I seemed to be racing people over 6,000 miles away. Obviously a small sample size though, but I was impressed. There did seem to one bug, as it kept repeating driver eliminated throughout one of the races, more times than there were drivers in the race?
Game gets really hard at the higher speeds. I guess you can't just hold down the gas when you're flying around the track like that, but gotta ease up around the corners too. Air brakes don't seem to be enough. Or maybe I just have to memorize the tracks better?

Just go for as long as you can without disintegrating. The longer you last, the better the medal.

― i am the small cat (HI DERE), Monday, 29 September 2008 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link
zone mode is odd, you don't press the accelerate it just goes at a set speed. the longer you go the faster it gets. the voice announces when you move up a level. the later ones are ridiculously impossible!
but the ship on zone mode looks amazing, as do the textureless levels
― Ste, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:10 (fifteen years ago) link
it is good, but I'm so close to thrashing my ps3 against a wall sometimes trying to get medals.

This will be the thing that tips me toward spending whatever Christmas cash I get on a PS3. I didn't want to do it, but Wipeout is about the only game I've ever played like a madman for years on end.― Eric H., Monday, September 15, 2008 12:43 PM (2 weeks ago)

i really suck at this - any tips for a newbie?
― baaderonixx, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:15 (fifteen years ago) link
it's all about choosing the right ship for the track, good handling for the tracks with sharp corners. Also, u&k learning to use the L and R triggers for turning I think.
I'm shit at the combat part
― Ste, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:33 (fifteen years ago) link
is there a diff between using L2/R2 and the joystick to turn?
― baaderonixx, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:42 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, l2/r2 is a much sharper turn, it is croosh to master those
― s1ocki, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:44 (fifteen years ago) link
so jealous!!!!
― STINKING CORPSE (cozwn), Monday, 29 September 2008 14:46 (fifteen years ago) link
and i think pressing l2/r2 together is fast break, but not on zone mode. is that right?
― Ste, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:47 (fifteen years ago) link
no - it's double tapping either of those keys
― baaderonixx, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:54 (fifteen years ago) link
xxxp - aha - i've only been using l2/r2 since I started playing. Maybe I shd try the stick
― baaderonixx, Monday, 29 September 2008 14:55 (fifteen years ago) link

I nearly did this a lot with the predecessors - it was always 50% argh I fucked up and 50% that was so cheap (after fighting my way back from fucking up).
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 29 September 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
oh man, claiming 1st place in the nick of time is so satisfying - especially if it's by obliterating your opponent with a random missile you fired accidentally because you pressed fire instead of accellerate in the sweaty last seconds of the last lap and you didn't even know you'd picked up missiles anyway.
― Ste, Monday, 29 September 2008 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
This skilled/elite thing isn't anywhere near as much of a factor as the speed class of the ships. Can get Gold on Elite at all the Venom class races but when it gets up to Flash/Rapier I'm bouncing off the walls and need the noob bumper bars (pilot assist) on.
Online could be so good if anyone played it :(
― meta the devil you know (onimo), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i really played this all at ELITE level? no wonder it was so fuckin hard
― cathy: ACK-er (s1ocki), Saturday, 9 October 2010 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I think it originally shipped with Skilled and Elite then they added Novice for teh noobs.
Zone races are so hypnotic, I just fucking love them. You get into an amazing groove for a while then the speed cranks up and you're jolted out of it by hammering into a wall at 1000km/h.

Beginning to think on some of these races that "Elite" difficulty = "Lose no matter what" - I finish a race 3rd in 2.28 with the winner on 2.23, then I eventually get down to 2.22 and the winner finishes in 2.19 then a million races later I get to 2.19 and the winner is on 2.14 wtf - oh and last place is 2.22 - faster than the winner in the first race.
I think I'm about doe with this, it looks and plays so well but they're just taking the piss with the AI.
