Head might not fit between chicane at high speed on Anulpha pass

WipEout Fury Developer Diary - Creating The New Zone Tracks
One word; Spectacular!
Regarding #10: I'm not convinced. I've beat a couple of my zone scores since the update, namely moa therma and anulpha pass. But both of those were down to more perfect zones/laps and a couple more barrel rolls. On Anulpha I actually died around zone 71 I think, zone 75 being my furthest. And on Moa I died on zone 59, the same zone as my previous record.
Framerate. But still, the transition effect isn't as smooth as it could be.
Within the next days I will link a 720p@60fps video from the pre-build version
of WipEout HD ZONE, Anulpha Pass, that clearly shows that they got the thing
right before. To whet your appetite, it looks awesome!
I use it as well, but not for a record run. Not just yet.
I got a BIG smile on my face as the bleeping noise kicked in. Holy!
Everything is possible now! :)
@Reezy: It might be possible that only some given impacts are effected.
Ok, here is my take about the ZONE score.
I have to agree. The thing is, it wouldn't be half as interesting if total zones
cleared comes first. One can always catch someone on the leaderboard
just by the score, which will bother both parties if you think about it. Ergo,
both start to improve and the thing becomes even more heated. Even
worse, there is no special reward for reaching a higher zone xD, since the
rate of change of the (default) score counter remains constant. The only
thing, in the end, that really pays off is doing perfect laps at higher zones,
since as higher one goes as less time it takes to go around the track.
I tell you what. Your than-case is the one that builds up the competition!
The one ranked in position 1 is pissed xD coz he didn't do a 130 and he
essentially feels the pressure form the one in second place. The one in
second place is also pissed being only in second place despite he can hold
up for ten seconds longer. And the one in third place even thinks he can
be first!
ZONE can be considered as a path leading to perfection, a kind of perfection
that has a memory (your score) that depends on all the previous things you
have done. So one essentially carries a load around when doing ZONE. Being
in the need for doing perfect zones / laps at very high speeds, given that
load, builds up a huge pressure. And now it depends on you whether you can
hold up or not.
One will never get the feeling being in the ZONE if he won't carry a very
valuable thing around. Further, perfection is always a limiting process and
not a lucky shots.
ZONE is walking this special path leading to perfection. Everytime I seriously
try to go for a record I feel like being on a mission, a mission toward a goal
that is virtually untouchable.
And speed, speed is only one part of the equation. The speed gradually
isolates one from all those things not necessary, it essential puts you right
on track....
EDIT:
But guillaume, don't get me wrong. I had once the same opinion like you.
Zones cleared and nothing else! But everything has turn around never
thought possible. ZONE is something one has to get in touch with until one
see the clear picture. So even from my text above one might likely not get
it. One needs to be 'there' by his very own. It's hard to put in words.
Has anyone checked out the link at the bottom of Rita's blog that goes to the Flickr page with the new Zone photos? Man, they look amazing! I love fractal imagery and to be able to race round something like that will be mindblowing! Hurry up tomorrow!
...I don't even know/remember what my score was when I finally managed Zone Zeus! That's how much I care about scores :P
@YouAreFubar: These pictures goes totally unnoticed. xD
@okam: I've heard you girlfriend got a better score than you. :P
I'm a girl, and I own my BF in any videogame we play ::ninja::
Guys suck at videogames, true story!
We all know that girls don't play video games. Pure fiction.
Now as for the original topic - Problem Solver - we all want a piece - you gonna deliever? I expect to see some bleeding thumbs and eyeballs in your Zone rooms. ;)
I will be one of those people - at least, I hope. Just to fight the Zone God himself.... just once.
