HD with FURY expansion questions

[Sausehuhn]

All the new ships looks like made out of plates not being fused together but kept apart. Not very aerodynamic, and also (for most of them) not my type of thing; though I like all of the game's original ships pretty much.
In general the new models look more like battle machines rather than being "wipEout".

Pausing allowed me to understand Zone battle rules!
the pads fill your bar, you choose to repair your ship or to use this bar to gain zones.

but what was not said, is that when you gain zones using the boost bar, you put a zone barrier on the track (like a bomb)

but i dont know what it does.

Why would they send a complete wipeout noob to play the new expansion? That guy made it look terrible and yet awesome at the same time.

Is it me or do the new tracks seem really narrow?

[Seraphim1982]

I think it was the aspect, he was filming in widescreen but they had squashed the picture into a 4:3 ratio.

but i dont know what it does.

It explodes and umm... kills you?

My thoughts exactly. I hope it's just the perspective playing mindtricks.

or it's just talon.

but if youlook well, you see it is the same widht : 2 speed pads.

[Motorsagmannen]

well if it isnt narrow, and just an eyetrick due to perspective and screen ratio. it might just be that the journalist sucked at wipeout after all
EDIT: after looking at the ship selecting more thouroughly it looked like the balance between HD and HD fury is severed brutally, no downsides at all on the fury ship just positive additions to stats. i hope im wrong.

yep, i only saw +10 and +5% to AG-sys stats.
but if it's in red (Fury color) it might be the case only for campaign.
Maybe online and racebox (especially TT/SL) they got the same stats. (lets hope for this)

anyway, we can see the grid of ship selection, and there are 3 skins for new ship models.

[Seraphim1982]

On second viewing it does look thinner than usual, just had a quick zip round in pulse and it feels shorter too.

[Darkdrium777]

Except campaign also counts for records, so no it doesn't solve the problem with boosted stats either.

I think the new looks the crafts have is in accordance with Fury DLC. That is they are more plated, like heavily armored. Suits well with direction this DLC goes - destruction.

[graeble]

i second that.
it's like the ships went super shredder.

[ProblemSolver]

@H3avyM3tal: Yeah true. I like it. I also like the new background color.
It's black! (not hurting the eyes any longer)

PLEASE, tell me the Vista pad issue will be attempted to be resolved before the Fury pack is released.

When HD came out last year in September, i had Zero Vista pads on my connection.... There shouldnt be a reason why they are there.....

Hi guys...

Paul.

I haven't see that, I say yeah!
