    Besides having played a little bit of fusion, I haven't really played WO before - so stick for me in HD (though I struggle quite bit with barrel rolls)

    I'm bringing this thread back, as I just discovered my favorite way to control this game.

    My wife, being the dear she is, purchased the Street Fighter IV arcade stick for me for Valentine's day. Showed up early, so she gave it to me.

    Wow, once I had a good button layout, this is my new favorite way to race. The joystick being used as a flight stick is really nice. I get the precision of the d-pad with the free movement of the stick. Also, I can have my fingers on the buttons ready to brake, fire and absorb without ever moving my hand. I just set all new lap times for even my best scores in SL.

    I highly recommend you try this out if you ever get the chance. It feels very strange at first, but give it a little time and I doubt you'll walk away anything but pleased.

    I'm old school so use the d-pad no motion

    Only time I used the stick was for Beat Zico as for some reason I found it easier to do all the BRs especially the one onto the bridge.

    I was a stick player (still am in Zone), but I switched to d-pad because I couldn't be consistent
    with it, although when I was, I did great laps, the stick offers many advantages such as precision,
    and gives you the feeling that you're actually piloting a ship, not just pushing buttons ...

    I would love to use it again but I'm right handed and SL please allow us to use the right stick,
    and to remap every button (including the 4 directions of the d-pad) to a function, and also
    to assign a function to several buttons (that way I could switch from 1 method to another
    in-game), that would be perfect

    I've been using the stick but I think I'm about to convert to the D-pad. I have no problem controling with the stick ... but pulling off barrel rolls with it is a pain in the rear. I'm finding that the d-pad is more consistent as there is less "play" in the lef/right axis ... plus my thumb doesn't need to travel all over the place to pull it off.

    Note that you don't need to do that, you can go a very slight left/right/left and
    it'll execute your BR!

    I use a really weird control system. I use L2 as left airbrake, X as right airbrake, R2 as accelerate and Left analog stick to steer

    Cool

    D-pad, as nature intended! the stick makes too much noise and the main reason i didn't play any of the psp wipeouts... one day

    Im looking forward to my new ps3 fightpad which has the best d-pad for barrel rolls! fans of fighting games know where i coming from...

    I've tried that and my barrel rolls happen less frequently. Maybe I just need more practice but its rather annoying to try hte barrel roll and fail and then try it again ... succeed ... get charged for it ... but be too close to the ground to complete it.

    ugh.

    Full motion. Just feels so good when you get the hang of it.

    I know this thread is for HD, but with people talking about their previous history I'll add mine too.

    WO1, 2, 3: all with NeGcon. Couldn't master it with a regular controller whether using analog or d-pad. With a neggy everything is fine!

    Fusion: Left stick. This game feels a lot like F-Zero GX, which I mastered using that control setup, and I like the smooth control of the stick.

    Pure and Pulse: Both d-pad. Feels much quicker than the nub.

    Sounds like a great way to play the game! Anyone know if the steering wheels created for Gran Turismo, such as this one, work with Wipeout? I saw a used one on sale recently and was thinking about how much fun Wipeout would be with it. A foot pedal to accelerate!

    KIGO1987, do I hear correct? Are you going full motion? Excellent. Let me know how you get on with it.

    thought i should chime in..
    dpad, but can't stand the damn ds3 triggers- switched airbrakes the l1/r1 instead.. also changed the sensitivity on accel and airbrakes to minimum so that even the lightest touch registers as 100% on... feels so much better than any of this analog wackiness.. then again, it might just be the psp gaming in me making me setup my controls so wacky...
