The "I Got It" Thread

[BenjaminBirdie]

I got it.

Now all I need is a PSP.

Confirmed: FULL COLOR MANUAL.

More to come.

[Salt|Ultra]

From where? Details man details.

[eLhabib]

you know how to use a scanner, right?

[BenjaminBirdie]

It seems to be at Electronics Boutiques across the country. I bought mine at an EB below Rockefeller Center, NYC

HUGE CONTROL SPOILERS:

















B...b....Barrel roll?!?

Two Taps On The L1/R1 = Side Manouver
<- -> <- = Barrel Roll Left (reverse for BR Right, obvs)

I love the little back story. It's slight, but a nice comment on the series' progression.

[BenjaminBirdie]

Sure I got a scanner at home, but I'm at work now.

Also confirmed: A Return Of The Medal Screen, Wip3out Style.

Barrel Roll deets: You perform it in the air (after a big jump, presumably) and you get a slight boost of speed and lose a slight bit of energy. Can't be done with low energy.

I'm liking this. Strategy meets SSX.

[eLhabib]

I KNEW IT!
I was so sure there was gonna be a barrel roll... well at least not a stupid 360 or something else aerodynamicly impossible. I'm fine with a barrel roll, somehow feels realistic. Somehow.

now can you tell me the purpose of that barrel roll, too? I can see what the side shift maneuver is for, to knock out opponents, but what do you do with a barrel roll in mid air? (or can you also do it while on the track?)

[eLhabib]

okay forget my question it obviously took too long to write

It seems to be at Electronics Boutiques across the country.

Sweet, that is great news and ties in exactly with what I was told yesterday by my local EB. I'm there an hour after they open. PSP in hand, foaming at the mouth.

A barrel roll, sot of makes sense, but what purposes does it serve?

[BenjaminBirdie]

You never know when that extra little bit of boost will help, Saltster.

And, how sweet will it be to blast someone out of the air in mid roll? HOW SWEET, I ASK YOU.

[Shem]

is that the same thing what happened to a craft in W'O" whtn you got hit by a rocket? (well...instead of doing it on purpose and all that....)

I don;t know what to say.....I hate Tony Hawk's Pro Skateboarding......

[BenjaminBirdie]

NOT CONFIRMED: The ability to do ollies off of the Fat Cat.

Dude, this is one confined move that, presumably, will not alter your forward momentum or trajectory one iota. It's basically a flashier version of the thrust system from WIp3out.

[infoxicated]

I love the little back story. It's slight, but a nice comment on the series' progression.

ops:

The hard part was making it 100 words! :

[Shem]

well, good enough, but imagine negCon users doing that kind of maneov.......wait a minute.....we're talking about PSP, LOL....well, twisting PSP may end up with your WIpeout Pure UMD Disc doing a barrel roll in the air before you know it. :wink:

[BenjaminBirdie]

You diabolical!

Well since you wrote it, I definitely won't spoil it here. You'll all just have to wait for Foxy's PSP debut.

[Colin Berry]

The Barrle Roll is ace

I wish I'd thought of it

But it was one of our genius coders

[Sausehuhn]

A boost?! Sounds cool. And yes, it can help when you're flying. In wip3out you get so much faster when you used a little bit boost while jumping.

Please scan the manual as soon as you can!

Maybe it's too late when you have your PSP, because then you're playing all the time this fantastic game and you don't want to stop playing just to scan the manual, playing the game is so much interesting!

SONY, say the europe launch day! : : :

Welcome Back, Old Friend:

The Disruption Bolt

Electobolt x1000. (You might remember this as the black hole looking thing from one of the Gamespot vids). Following possible effects:

- Temporary control reversal
- Disabling airbrakes
- IMPAIRMENT OF VISION

They are not ****ing around.

[Salt|Ultra]

Grrr.... damn time zones. I want it now....

That Disruption Bolt sounds deadly. As an aside, I hate things in games that blind you.

[zargz]

then learn the tracks!

First Impressions. (Not From Me)

The frame rate issues seem to be alarming everyone. I've never really understood nor noticed differences in frame rates. It seems to me like the sorts of things reviewers bring up because they've run out of things to complain about but, really, have very little impact on the gameplay.

We'll find out when I find out. (Or someone else does.)
