Wipeout championship

[JABBERJAW]

You can use pal, that's fine.

I have blown a few up too.

[Turbulence]

I'm a little confused. Is this an actual event, or just online?
How would you play the old ones over the internet? :/

I'm in though!

[JABBERJAW]

This is more of an "on your honor" competition, as has recently been done on Altima before the release of 2048. It will be 4 track events per game, each game being scored exactly the same. It will be cool to see wipeout 1 greats trying their hand in HD, and vice versa. I will come out with a scoring system, and track order as the thread progresses, and we see who will want to participate. I am hoping for 50 or more, but 30 plus would be a really cool competition. The sept start is for people to get any consoles/games they may need for the tourney. Also, I am having the NA wipeout tournament in July, so I will want a short break after that.

[Oryx Crake]

I assume I will have a tough time finding all the games sadly but I'm in for any games I can play =)

[Turbulence]

Oh, I understand.

Well I'm in for WO1, Fusion and HD Fury. I'll try to find my copy of Pulse. Haha. XD
Time to eBay the rest. Gives me a good excuse to buy some more WipEout games.

You could always request pictures of high scores/lap times, etc. Anyone can get a camera and take a picture of their screen.

Count me in, the only title I'm missing is Wipeout 64 I think. I've read the input is too different with emulators...I haven't been in any of the tournaments yet but will we be playing the 64 one too? Also sort of as a followup from the above post, is it compulsory to take part in all of the games? That would be sweet but would take some real practice over the summer seeing as I mainly started with Pure.

[JABBERJAW]

yes wo64 is in, oryx, ebay is pretty cheap for this stuff

[JABBERJAW]

We are at 14 so far, let's get 30!

Few questions:

When in September r u planning to hold the championship?
& with placings, you just post your results from the games on the forums (truthfully, of course)?
Would you allow emulators, such as ePSXe?

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I think emulated gameplay is not allowed. Of course,I might be wrong as this rule applied to when WOZ still had record tables that did not allow emulated gameplay records.

I think the reason was that emulators are used for tool-assisted speedruns,and people may input times that even the most ace of pilots here cannot achieve through normal gameplay

I don't even know how to rig it so I get the best times. Also (this maybe because of the emulator) it gets real laggy at times whilst I'm playing 2097.

[leungbok]

I can maybe participate, but i only have wipeout 1 on psn and 2097 as an iso on my cf psp.

[Oryx Crake]

yeah ok so it looks like I wont be getting my mitts on an original copy of wo1 to play... I'm not whining or anything I just want to know, but can someone explain the difference between the psn version and the original? (or if there is a thread where it's been explained can someone point me in that direction?)

[Staz-]

I'm in for WipEout, WipEout 2097, WipEout 3 SE, WipEout Fusion, Pure and Pulse, 2048, all this on PAL only, but if it's absolutely necessary, I can search NTSC version.

For HD Fury, it's ... delicate. At this time, I have no PS3 anymore ... But, of course, I can play it on Vita, so even if the game haven't Racebox on Vita, choose the good tracks in the good class is possible.

In absolute terms, and if it really and totally necessary to play on PS3, I can go to a friend.

[ExaltedR3V3NG3]

I will go for 2097, W3SE, Fusion, HD/F and 2048. I need a PSX memory card though, but sure I'll get one in time (or using "unlock everything" cheats lol). Oh, and I want to know if HD/F must be done in PS3 or in Vita... That's just for interest, as I cann plau them perfectly on both consoles.

THIS IS EXACTLY AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, A WIPEOUT CHAMPIONSHIP CONSISTING OF ALL THE WIPEOUT GAMES

Info will be added as we move closer to the tournament start. This first thread will be updated with rules, tracks, competitors, ect.

.We are at 33! Lets get more.



ALL TRACKS WILL BE ANNOUNCED NOV 1st. You can practice any or all tracks until dec 1 st. On DEC 1st you may start getting times for the challenges. ANY time you get for ANY track may be used from this time foward. This is to allow more flexibility to players who may not have the time at certain parts of the tournament. However, it obviously is more important to play the games that are due at the earlier dates. You MUST read the rules for each specific game, like for example, damage simulator must be ON during race modes in wipeout fusion, and some ships may be disabled on some tracks. All the rules for the tracks will be announced when the tracks are announced

Times will be emailed to wipeoutchampionship@hotmail.com which I will create now. They will need a heading of the game you played and the 4 times you got for the tracks & the ship used. These times are due at midnight of YOUR time zone. I will not open ANY results until after my deadline for times. No one is under any obligation to share their times with anyone.

TRACKS WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE:



Games used:
1) if you have NTSC, USE THAT VERSION
2) then use pal if that is all you have
3). Wipeout 3= use NTSC A if you have it, use regular pal if you have it next. If you only have 3se use that. This is so I don't have to figure out conversions. Please tell me now if that is all you have

December 31 midnight. 2048 times are due
January 13 midnight. HD times are due
January 20 midnight. WO2D times are due
February 3 midnight. WO64 times are due
February 17 midnight. WO1 times are due
March 3 midnight. WOPURE times are due
March 17 midnight. WOXL times are due
March 31. midnight WOPULSE times are due
APRIL 14. Midnight. WOFUSION times are due
APRIL 28. Midnight. WO3 times are due



POINTS SYSTEM:

I want winning a track to really matter, and top 3 to be a goal to shoot for.

80
60
45
35
30
29. And so on, depending on the amount of players as you said.

This way, first is a very desired position, and shooting for a top 3 really matters. I also like a good gap between 2-3, slightly more percentage wise than pure scoring

[fab0810]

i can ride on 2097 and wo3 (ps1), fusion (ps2) and hd-fury (ps3).
it may be difficult to find the steering on older versions but it's good to get back to basics!

[Colonel]

Al, any chance you could put an up to date summary of rules, dates, players etc in your first post? Things have developed quite a bit since you started it, and it takes ages to trawl through the thread and put it all together.

Thanks in advance

[JABBERJAW]

Yeah, ill try and do it tonight after work since it will take a bit of time.

[Colonel]

Cheers mate
