D-pad or stick?
Hi guys,
Always been a fan of WipEout but never owned a console till I got a PSP last month, i have to say that this version kicks arse!
My question, Which control method do you prefer and why?
I find that the stick lets you turn harder but its more difficult to be precise, esp on barrel rolls. So i tend to use the pad, apart from citia nuova (spelling??)

spelling: citta nova (i think)
and i always use the little analogue stick for everything on wipeout pure. i dont know why but it is way easier than the buttons (imo)
btw: welcome to the fourums tom :)

wellcome to the forum nifton : enjoy here
After broken my nub few months ago, i use Dpad now ( btw i broke it too on last monday , lol ) without any kind of problem if i can say that without laughing as hell : i rather prefer it for doing Barrel rolls.
-
what happend when you broke your little analogue stick? did you have to send it off to be repaird or something?
-
I play Wipeout Pure for 3 days and I'm using the D-Pad.
The stick (what was the name for?) is a little bit too slow for the Barrel rolls or something like that.

@ username : for my broken stick or nub and then few months later with my Dpad , i get it to the game shop i purchased it and the retailer gave me a 2nd hand's one waiting for my psp been repaired or exchanged by Sony Japan ( 1 first time with the nub they gave me a brand new one , and 2ndly i don't know for the broken Dpad if they can reapair it or not ).
-
a brocken d-pad sounds fixable to me, all i think that you should have to do is remove the front panel and replace the plastic button cover. but i wouldnt try it yourself ;)
-
if just the cover is broken that's no problem. Just pull it out. Done that a few times for cleaning my PSP :)
-
how do you do that max? i think mine could do with a nice clean. *i wonder how many pieces of fluff i can find???*

Yea, i like the sharpness of the stick but keep making silly errors, pushin forward while turning so not getting it as sharp, practice i guess.
PS Did you know that if you've got an old analouge PSX/2 controller you can modify the the thumb stick to fit on the psp? the slot it mounts on is the same, you just need to file off the 'shoulder' on the PS2 stick. alot easy to get to if you have shovell hands like mine.
