Wipeout HD HUD

[Lance]

I don't recall any final lap message in WO3 NTSC. Or even GT for that matter.

See, that's another weird thing: where's the fisheye HUD? I'm quite sure I've seen it in earlier videos...

It's there, but only in internal, and not as "strong" as the Pulse Concave effect.

[infoxicated]

On the HUD's overall, I hate the zooming effect when you hit a speed pad. Don't mind the interference when you take a knock, but the zooming just does my head in.

What's weird is the green text for "Final Lap"

They updated the HUDs to have all the features of the original HD HUD. Notice how it also writes in green who eliminated whom during a race? Never happened in Wo3 either.

[infoxicated]

Holey **** - you can eliminate people?!1!

//must. try. harder.

[zerojay]

Well, it's the HD version of elimination, which means "not at all, but a quarter second penalty".

OK, I just had it! Firstly: I use the 2097 HUD - hell, is there even another? ;) But what's driving me crazy is that I must not LOOK at the HUD when the race is about to start. Because you know what I do? Thanks to an unconsious reflex, I keep pressing the accelerator immediately - in order to rev up turbo start energy. Only happens with the legacy HUD. Damn nostalgia!!!
Gotta love it. :))

some serious mental conditioning there!

I think a final lap indicator is vital. I can`t always keep count to four, let alone five, when in the midst of some of the more terrifying battles you can get into.

I unlocked WO2097 HUD yesterday and I only played a couple of race with it.
The design est much more cool than the HD one, but it's also way to large !!!
The weapon slot, when filled, is a pain in the *ss, and the energy scale is way to hard to read especially in critical battles.

I also unlocked W3O HUD, but haven't tested yet. I will but for now HD is the more user friendly for me.


I don't like the position indicator in tournament. I don't care whose in front of me, since I only need to be 1st ^_~. I only need to now how many ships are in front of me like in single race mode.

What's weird is the green text for "Final Lap" - I don't remember that from WipEout 3.

There was a final lap message in special edition, and it was yellow.

[ColdRem'S]

I've unlocked both HUDs (campaign finished) and I LOVE the Wo3 HUD. It is beautiful and easy to read.

[Axel]

The WO3 HUD is perfect. Yeah you don't get the indicator of who is behind you, but meh. I'm old school hardcore. I don't want everything done for me

[ColdRem'S]

Look closer Axel, there's a little yellow arrow on the left lower side of the Wo3 HUD. However it doesn't show how far is your follower.

[Axel]

Ah, I saw that playing on my HD TV, couldn't really notice it on my normal TV lol. Well nevermind, i wont be looking at it anyway

Look at the billboard at the finish line where the race countdown is. It says "FINAL LAP" and you also hear it.

[Sausehuhn]

Now that I think about it: Would have been nice to have the checkpoint sound of WO2097/WO3 when crossing the laser, depending on which HUD is selected.

[RJ O'Connell]

Been playing with the 2097 HUD exclusively since I unlocked it. It looks absolutely killer. I don't know if I can switch to WO3 now.

[Lucas_RD]

Only one I miss is this Pulse HUD


When I used it, somehow feel of speed was doubled.
I hope SL guys bring it back in addon content.

[H3avyM3tal]

Lucas RD, that DOES look great.
For me I have been playing with the 2097 HUD, and it looks absolutly killer on my screen (2408WFP). The screen has awseome colors that make this HUD looks amazing imo. Need to try the other aswell. Been sick of the defult HUD...

[Axel]

Loaded the WO3 HUD and never looked back. I saw a vid with the new HUD on and was thinking which HUD was that? Totally forgot about HD original HUD lol.
