Thread: Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

    Default Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

    Does the thrust powerup effect get reduced by the magnetic strips?

    Is there a 'fast start' key press combination?

    why we cannot plane any more while pushing on bottom at the moment of the jumps like psone opus ??(here the ship always falls down very heavily if we do not make a loop in air)?
    why we don't see any more the weapons on the collects boxes (different colors according to weapons)?
    regrettable…

    i'm going to ask the same question and start a thread about...so the old metod ( keep the thrust at 3/4 of the bar and then at the GO press quickly ) is gone forever?

    i'm too used with W3O , HD is really a great game, but actually i have some time too get used with all these "new" differences...
    i've played w3o til yesterday, at truth also this morning i've play it alot ,i'm a nostalgic one ...but WO HD is Too gorgeous and amazing

    WO HD is the devil!

    Might as well ask here, seeing as it is a questions thread.

    What do the panels on the track do. Call me a nub if you want, but I didn't really notice them while playing last night.

    I forgot, I had one other question: how long do mines and bombs hang around if no-one sets them off?

    If you prefer a visual cue, the red bar that moves across behind the 3,2,1 countdown can be used. The moment the red bar reaches the right hand side of the countdown display you mash the throttle

    nub
    in modes where weapons are enabled, you will see red Xs on the track, when you pass over these a weapon or item will become available on your craft
    The blue ^ shaped panels give you a small speed boost when passed over

    in other news: norfolk'n'clue <- that is an awesome name

    I was hoping someone would start a thread like this!

    I can tell from the vids that you don't "stick" to the walls when you hit them anymore, like in Pure and Pulse, which is damn good. But does this mean they re-implemented scraping (getting a speed boost for just barely riding the wall, like in 2097 and W30 - makes about as much sense as barrel-rolling, but I loved it all the same) or is that still out?

    And concerning Zone mode, when do the zone speeds stop increasing? I know in Pure it was ~ zone 65, but maybe because of the better hardware it has been increased for PS3?


    Thanks guys!

    It's probably extremely high - to a level that no one can reach naturally - even in Pulse, if you use an infinite shield cheat, I found that even at zone 235, you keep on getting faster - uncontrallably so.

    I know what a speed pad and weapon pickup is. I thought people were referencing something else.

    Ah nevermind!

    I've seen a trophy for reaching zone 75

    There is an SFX that kicks in from time to time. Does a little bit sound like a sonic boom. Does anyone know when it appears? Because it was very random to me and I saw no connection to any action.

    That boom noise occurs whenever you lift off the throttle. Easy way to avoid it is to just keep X mashed.

    In past versions it's been ~ 10 seconds.

    Probably the same now...

    Anyone got this bug online where weapon pads are sometimes completely disabled for the whole race? And weapons were set to on, I was the host.

    How many different HUD's are there and how do you unlock 'em? I currently have HD, 2097 and Wip3out.

    I like the Wip3out one but it's a shame that the shield bar is so small

    There are "only" these three. AFAIK you unlock them by reaching a specific loyalty point score.

    Ok I repeat, did anyone have the bug where some weapon pads are turned off for the whole race? I know KIGO and I are having this problem. It must be more frequent than this...
