INTRODUCTIONS - New pilots start here

[Lloyd2k4]

Hello, my name is Lloyd and my PSN ID is Lioyd2k4. Wipeout HD is my first Wipeout title, and I have to say it's one of the best racing games I've ever played. I recently finished off Elite Campaign Legend in the original HD Campaign mode. My experience racing is solely on vanilla tracks going forward; I have not had much time to try out reverse mode tracks and Fury tracks, so if I'm slacking online on these, I'm sorry for my lack of experience. :'(

Recently I started the Fury Campaign, and I'm having a lot of trouble beating the Elite AI on Zone Battle. Why does it seem like they accumulate zone boost and zone levels faster than is possible according to how many boost pads are on the zone track? It seems like it's either bugged or I'm just missing something very obvious on how to win.

Thanks and hope to race some people online. I love Wipeout HD!

Hi Lloyd, welcome to the Zone. You'll get there with Zone Battle, it just takes some practice. Try to make sure your Zone bar is full before boosting (a pretty obvious tip but worth saying nonetheless).

I'm doing some (Elite) Fury Campaign Legend videos at the moment, they should be up on my YT channel in the next couple of weeks

Focusing only on a few tracks is best when learning this game. It was nearly two months before I touched any track in reverse, and it was even longer before I raced the Fury tracks. Also, once you get used to the faster speed classes and even if you prefer them, don't neglect learning new tracks on the slower speed classes. In fact, make sure to race familiar tracks on the slow classes from time to time.

Hey all,

I don't think I've introduced myself yet. I'm Phil, 20 years old from Bristol, UK. Currently in my second year at University.

I'm a fan of Wipeout, but I play the older games:
Wipeout 1
Wipeout 2097
Wipeout 3 Special Edition
Wipeout 64
Wipeout Pure
Wipeout Pulse

Out of all of these, I play Pure the most, but I think 2097 is the best (I only got it recently). My team loyalty depends on what game I'm playing! However, I tend to gravitate towards AG Systems.

I don't have a PS3. It was a toss up between Forza and Wipeout, and Wipeout lost I have a 360. Unfortunately apart from Quantum Redshift, which I can play via backwards compatability, there seems to be no equivalent to Wipeout on the Xbox

Anyway, it seems like you have a great community here

hello the Flint Fandango killercrusher232 Azurooth i play the you wipeout lot of fast racers good fite all the time

[Flint Fandango]

Thank you mate, you´re a great pilot too! Much appreciated!
I stay at Venom/Flash class, as a matter of principle, somehow.
But if you like to race those slower classes, you can count on me!

I played the original Wipeout but not much. I picked up WipeoutHD when PS+ had it free with fury content. I played it for a while and lost interest. However I recently started playing again and couldn't put it down. I finished the whole campaign on elite, the tourny in meltdown about made me flip my lid.
Went straight to the fury and finished it as well. One more trophy to go and, you know it has to be Bling brigade.
Ran across this place and thought I might pick up a few tips and tricks etc. if I decide to move on to another WO game.

Hi there Bendozaa, welcome to the Zone

[Azurooth]

Welcome to the zone.

[Cynthira]

Hello everyone!

I've been told to present myself in this area.
I am 19 years old/young and from (guess what?) Switzerland. A friend of mine told me about Wipeout and sent me several videos. After some time I wanted to play the game myself and here I am now xD
This friend of mine also recommended this forum and since i'm no longer a complete beginner, i descided to join.
She told me some techniques and helped me out when I was totally desperate about the game xD but there's still a long way to go.

I own "Wipueout Fury HD", which is the only game I've ever played out of this series.

Good to have you on board

[Colonel]

Hi Cynthira, welcome to the Zone. If you're only going to own one Wipeout, HD Fury's an excellent choice (but that's just my opinion )

[Ragsus Maxima]

No doubt Wipeout HD is an excellent choice; many of us are agree.
Oh, and welcome Cynthira. Enjoy your stay. ^^
