Controlling HD...

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

Those little pastic clip on triggers for the L2/R2 buttons are fab. They make the controller much more comfortable to hold, and the triggers themselves easier to use without your finger slipping off (ties in with 'more comfortable to hold', as you don't have to change your grip to STOP your fingers slipping off). 2 quid a pair too. Worth it.

Oh, that's totally different than I imagined! Might be worth looking into. Thanks for the link!

Fingers slipping off is not my issue it's how much I need to push the button in to make sure whatever I'm trying to do actually happens.

I may change the config when HD comes out, I recall it felt so strange when using the airbrakes via L2 R2 I didn't really like it.

[Axel]

I was hoping for a analogue response to the R2/L2 breaks. You know the more you pressed, the harder the breaks would work etc. Shame that is not the case.

[Sausehuhn]

That's the case for acceleration. So you could still set accelerate to L2/R2 if you prefer that. A lot of racing games have that.

[eLhabib]

AFAIK the R2/L2 brakes do break soft if you press slightly and hard if you press all the way down. I just don't like that, that's why I'll go for R1/L1.

[Axel]

Ah thanks for clearing that up, that sounds really dandy for me actually. But as you have mentioned, it might not work as good as it sounds.

Does somebody get and use DS3 since its retailed? if so, is there any matter to use it instead of sisaxis controller with WOHD? (actually, what's the best to use to control and handle WOHD)

Désolé mais je pense que tu vas devoir l'écrire en français ou mieux l'écrire en anglais parce que j'ai absolument rien compris.

I didn't understand, sorry. I have really no idea what you are asking about.

[Lance]

He wants to know if anyone has used the DualShock3 controller and if there's any advantage or difference in using that compared to using a six-axis for HD.

[alka16r]

Oups! Sorry for my poor english...and thanks Lance for translation !

[eLhabib]

Well, you have rumble with the DS3. That's the main difference. And the controller is a bit heavier and doesn't feel as cheap as the feathery Sixaxis.
1up.com mentioned in a preview a couple of months ago that the pad would actually rumble when you're off-pitch, but that's pretty much a rumor right now. If it holds true, a DS3 could potentially give you an advantage over a Sixaxis - if that's what you were asking...

[Rapier Racer]

It depends on how old your Sixaxis is, launch day and earlier pads are not as good as newer ones for the motion sensing.

[DjManiac21]

We could probably get a good kick out of playing HD with motion controls, furthermore if we have voice chat in the game!
Could be a nice break in between races / tournaments, I can already feel the pressure of racing you guys in HD

[alka16r]

Thanks.That's what i wanna know.

Just confirming --

You *can* use the D-pad for steering and pitch control, right?

I'd scream and cry if I was forced to use the analog stick.

[Darkdrium777]

Yeah of course, why would that change from other WipEouts?

[Atom6x!]

I'm gonna try and play with the motion controls right from the start, maybe it's tough to get used to but I'll bet it'll be a better experience when you've gotten it down compared to the standard controls.
