Sony need to, or you need/desire them to? ;)
Lance - I'm gonna attempt to explain this, my way lol - so it may not necessarily make any sense ok? ok!
I want sony/sl to be so passionate about it that "they need to" take notice of the teams in this thread..
(er, swivles chair 180 degrees, faces south) I am so passionate about this new teams malarky, that "I need for them to" take notice of this thread, and the teams which reside here... ;)
My work load is pretty full at the moment im afraid..Quote:

Good luck to Designer_79 with the modelling - look forward to seeing it when its finished! :) :+
Sony are passionate about profit. Unless someone at SCE or higher thinks that amateur/outsider design of teams would be extremely likely to produce more profit, they will not see a need. The dlc that they did release was all solicited by Sony from professionals in the game or the famous in the art 'business'.
[waxes philosophical]> I am not trying to squash idealism, but am pointing out potential for denied hope. The designing of itself is worth the effort for the satisfaction it brings to the designers and their fans. That should always be its raison d'être. The stuff that's done only for acceptance or profit is worthless. To me. :D
Yes, Lance I agree - SOny are most definitely thinking with their pockets and not their hearts - lol, so its probably highly unlikely that they'll take notice - but they should!!! It's worth their while imo - get the opinions of the pilots themselves, and their ideas on what constitutes a good ship design. Anyway, we're in the right place - Wipeoutzone! And I know that peeps from SL are on this site. ISo, ya never know...
Anyhow, we do this team design/team history malarky, because we love it! And a thing borne out of love, can only bring happiness (unless you're an impressionable young lady who fell in love with the devil and got preggers ;):o)... )
Yes, I desire for Studio Liverpool/Sony to take notice of our efforts here. I think that this thread also serves as a sort of a tribute to Sony/SL for bringing us the wipeouts , I guess. A way of saying "We liked what you did so much, now we're having a go".
Ofcourse - to nowhere near the level that they did, we're just amateurs here lol. But, we do like what we're doing here, and it's a great, I mean - 4 members of this site have contributed to the Tez Dharkan project already and ya know what ? Wipers banding together to make something happen like this - is really cool imo. So well done guys!8)
Beautifully said Lance ... that's exactly how a creative life / profession should work. But sadly enough, profit is what runs every business nowadays ... so although creating something is satisfying deep within oneself, if you do it for a living there's always the need to deal with clients and their sometimes not-so-idealistic view of the world :D ...
Of course it's just the tiniest of hopes that SL might take something out of this thread (and if its just the Idea for a new team , not necessarily the designs) but we all know Wipeout is no Little Big Planet, so user generated content will always just stay fan art. So this thread's particular raison d'être is to inspire the audience ... we hoped it might be an ongoing thing to keep ideas coming what future teams might be like :+
Maybe one day we will get Little Big Wipeout :D lol
Track / Ship / Texture / Billboard design........that would rock :D :+
Perhaps more likely to happen would be for a new 'homebrew' wipeout to be developed by the gamers themselves? :)
Yeah, well the thread is called "Imagine a New Team for Wipeout" - we are!!! ;)
Even I was surprised at some of the team ideas in this thread. And it made for such interesting reading, I started to day dream - next thing I knew, I had envisioned an Indian AG-Combat Racing Team, The Tez Dharkan...
One post led to another and before I knew it, The Tez Dharkan really was a team - Mdhay, Haywire_Guy, Kyonshi and Designer_79 all helped in ways I wouldnt have guessed at.
And wow, the Tez Dharkan Technologies ship is a beautifully aggressive "violent by design" example.
Lets keep the momentum going guys, with or without Sony/SL - we keep rocking :rock
@Mu5:
Ah - now that's an avenue worth exploring isn't it!!! Nice one MU5! :)
I changed the front end to make it at least look more aerodynamic and it is now longer, and I changed the colour scheme a bit too.
Does anyone know the best place to get information on the back story for a particular team?
I want to dig up info on Triakis, so I can try and create a credible backstory for the prototype :) :+
Cheers
