    hi, TsorT, welcome to the forums.

    about Fusion, yes, you will find a lot of people here have found bugs in Fusion. the general opinion seems to be that the only really good things about it are zone mode and the graphics. the bugs tend to dampen the fun on the rest of it

    there is a lot of love here for all the earlier games in the series, though.

    Hi, Tsor - or rather "tere tulemast!"

    I've nothing to say about Fusion, neither good nor bad - since I don't own a PS2. But I've gotten the impression that it's not that good. Hope there will be a Wipeout Fission (hmm...) some day soon...

    Me, I race WO3 and WO3SE

    The soundtrack is one of the true highlights of that game. There are a couple not-so-good tracks (and the music on the menu screens makes me homicidal), but wow, there is some great stuff on there. Sadly, ever since I sold off the game I've been trying to find a copy of that Amethyst song (both legitmately and otherwise), but to no avail. Bummer.

    Naah, I'm just showing off my very limited knowledge of "eesti keel". I'm from Finland (swedish speaking).

    My advice: if you come across Wipeout 3 Special edition, buy it! If nothing else, the music rules!

    I think Wipeout Fusion is one of the worst games of all time.

    Shame since Wipeout XL is one of the best.

    Why I thought Fusion sucked (as a WipEout, not necessarily as a game):

    - No wuss wagon.
    - No checkpoints. Where're the adrenalin-pumping moments when you're thinking 'oh f*ck, amigonnamakeit amigonnamakeit, oh f*ck oh f*ck oh f*ck'?
    - GT instead of DR (no Angryman, Luck-Ees cat, etc.).
    - No jukebox mode (being able to listen to the music tracks from within the menus).
    - No proximity indicator (one of my favourite things about Wip3out).
    - No customisation of controls, just some stupid presets.
    - Stupid cheats.
    - Too many bugs.
    - Plasma Bolt looks wussy and has no power-up noise.
    - Pit Lane too trippy - needs to have frying bolts of electricity and recharging noise.
    - No Tim Wright and NO CHEMICAL BROTHERS!
    - No Force Wall, Cloak or Reflector.
    - Ships look like tanks or Star Wars vehicles - not nearly streamlined enough.

    Personally, I really don't like that Amethyst track. I love the Bob Brazil one though - I wish it wasn't game-exclusive.

    Default well

    i have ALL Wipeous (including wip3out and wip3out SE)
    exept the WO64
    "and god gave us AG-racing"

    Pyroannarchy is absolutley right , pitlane suxx because the slowdown
    tracklist does not include any drum'n'bass music
    no replays
    but what i like is , all the ships have 4 skins
    a lot of tracks (to bad that u cant play those one on one challenge tracks )
    intro FMW is not understandable
    and NO CURLY damn bitches
    do u think guys : could the game be better if psygnosis had done WF ?

    Psygnosis did do WF, just not under the name 'Psygnosis'. They are now SCEE Studios Liverpool and Leeds.

    No replays! Damn, I forgot that.

    I quite like Fusion's intro FMV, but I still think the original WipEout's one is the best. Imagine seeing that in 1995 after booting up your PlayStation for the very first time - the graphics in that would have been mindblowing! It's a very good FMV even by today's standards.

    I agree that it's a shame you can't play Devilia except in the 1:1 challenges - it ought to be unlocked as a bonus thing when you beat the game.

    I think we have different ideas as to what drum 'n' bass is, though - The Third Sequence by Photek is the only drum 'n' bass track (as I understand the definition) ever to have appeared in a WipEout game, and it didn't work very well.

    No vector, venom, rapier and phantom too! That sucks!

    about drum'n'bass photek is makinng those darkstep sounds but what about ed rush optical , j majik , matrix , panacea , technical itch (the rukus or the rising for example
    photek does that slow and dark style
    but there is faster version of dnb
    like psygnosis hit Rollcage stage 2 had
    i understand if they cant get any agreements with the rec.labels
    well lets hope for the best

    I agree that the only good thing about Fusion is the graphics!

    The Music is **** compared to the others ( Wipeout 3 n SE have best music (SAME))
    Where the hell is Assegai??? and Icarus???
    Tracks arent newhere as good as ther other wipeouts
    Doesnt seem as fast ie: where is the classes rapier & phantom???? hehe & the other 2
    And everything else that the others mentioned i guess are all valid (the bad points)

    That bloody gravity bomb is my biggest hate. It totally ruins the whole trance thing.
    I also miss Designers Republic, more so in Fusion than wipEout 64.
    The craft don't look particularly aerodynamic either. They look more like a collection of flying tin openers and garbage cans.

    Default designs

    the best shipdesigns where in 2097/xl games
    , well detailed and stuff too bad that there where only 5 AG crafts
    only well designed craft in Wipeout Fusion is Feisar
    G--tech is a crushad can
    van uber is a flying carcass
    auricom is a loads of bricks
    E-GR looks like a flat fish (upgraded skin) or dogs head (nonupgraded skin)
    tigron is somekind og russian old MIG without wings
    and xios looks like a fork (upgraded ) or a tear(nonupgraded)
    yyyyakkkk

    Piranhas superweapon is Bullcrap because if it hits something then u cant see a thing

    And why does the controller vibrate when you let off a quake? It shoots off in front, but your own ship feels like it's about to explode.
    And what's with the autopilot that sends you face first into the nearest wall? It defeats the pupose of having an autopilot if it doesn't actually autopilot.
    Missiles that spin you round facing the other direction. Bombs that stop you dead still for a few seconds. What did they fuse this game with - Twisted Metal?

    And then there's the controller configuration. Where's the classic wipEout. I want fire weapon on the 0 dammit!

    As for the silly looking pilots. I thought it was supposed to be me piloting the Auricom, but now I've gotta pretend that I'm some guy out of the Village people with a big moustache.

    I could go on.

    refering to that "Missiles that spin you round facing the other direction" comment, Im a big fan of that, and to be honest I feel it should be enhanced further. Look at the com opponents from the previous games. You hit them with a rocket, they will spin, flip and roll end-over-end. You get hit with a rocket, you just shudder and lose some speed.
    It should be the same for every ship on track.
    And I like the com ability to fire quakes now and use all the available weapons. Without going into tech.jarg. it just makes it fairer.
    The time when youre on the grid and waitimg for the "go" signal really adds a sense of purpouse to the race, but not being able to qualify to gain grid position is a bit of a let down.

    Fusion aint perfect, but we have to look at whats good and try and build from it, dont we?

    Very true. I'd like to see EG-R and Xios in the next version, and backwards quake, grenades + loop/flip tracks I like too.

    Default ahh the old quiz

    well comparing to other wipeouts:

    1. goddammit the ships dont go up and down again and dont react when hit a wall the ships are like friggin bricks

    2. THE MUSIC why is the beutifully good electronica gone? WHYYYYY... the fusion music doesent fit to the game in my opinion

    3. lack of the feeling of speed. I just cant feel the speed in fusion you can really feel it in like wipeout3 it is very annoying i love the feeling

    4. still getting tired of the no bouncing thing.. like in catmoda 3 if the ship would move like in wipeout3,se it would be pretty awesome

    5.damn i havent played fusion for half a year! i cant remember anything. :/
