Wipeout HD FAQ

[Hellfire_WZ]

v0.4 now complete. All the Campaign grids are now in with each cell listed, and the team descriptions are done too. All that's left now are the track guides and some trophy tips, mainly for Beat Zico. There's some trailing text that needs fixing too

All updates are displayed from the same link in the first post

AFAIK the energy critical warning is at 20%, not 25%. I'll keep reading.
And is it not five mines that are dropped?

[Hellfire_WZ]

I think you're right about the critical energy warning, will update that. I'm sure there's more than five mines though... or am I just hitting them so often it FEELS like there's more than five?

I'll do the track guides in the usual manner, but do you think I should include videos with them as well?

[Darkdrium777]

It's definitely five, the game description says "a quintet" so unless I suck so much at English (Always possible) it's five

For the track guides, what exactly would you think you need as videos?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah, just checked, it's five

Sometimes I think there's only so much you can say with words when describing complex parts of the circuit. I just had a thought of demonstrating them in a video and then linking to them from the guide to supplement the written description.

[Darkdrium777]

What's track guide like? Is it just showing the racing line? Or does it need more, like real time button presses? All speed classes? If it's in video I mean...

[Hellfire_WZ]

It would be a guide to the ideal racing line and maybe a demonstration of some of the tricks of the trade, like cheeky barrel rolls or shortcuts. When I write the guides it's usually exclusive to Phantom class as the lines for lower classes tend to be more forgiving.

Maybe a verbal description would be enough, I was toying with the idea as I've not tried it before

[blackwiggle]

I'm guessing the video will be your own.
You wouldn't want to put a link to somebody Else's just in case it got taken down.


I think you should also add a brief description of how changing the % of air brakes and acceleration works,we have had quite a few post here that don't understand how it works.
You might want to throw in a few "Most popular control configurations" and to pro's and con's of each.

[Hellfire_WZ]

They'd be my own if I did use videos, probably just demonstrating a clean lap. Might do, might not to be honest.

Good point on the controls, that section always did look a bit bare. Will include that in the next update.

[Spece2goin]

These are the default controls for the game, they can be changed in the main
menu

D-Pad/Left Stick - Steering and Pitch
Triangle - Change View
Circle - Absorb Weapon
Square - Fire Weapon
Cross - Accelerate
L1 - Rear View
L2 - Enable Voice Chat
R1 - Left Airbrake/Sideshift
R2 - Right Airbrake/Sideshift

huh? are you sure?
i use default controls
square : absorb
circle : change view
triangle : maybe that voice thing
R1 : fire.
L1 : rear view
L2 : left ab
R2 : right ab.

what happened to you to write R1/R2 for airbrakes?

also : the % sensivity for airbrakes/steering section will help me.
