Asia update friday is our update thursday, so we should have it on 23rd.
Is it possible to play a racebox tournament using tracks from fury+HD? And can we play the new modes on the old tracks?
Yes. Yes.
Fixed. Though it didn't necessarily "die" as much as Ridge Racer 6/7 (they're almost indentical to be honest) didn't live up to expectations. And that announcer, he just gets more and more annoying.Quote:

I'm glad WO games aren't announced like that :P
PSP Ridge Racer's where awesome. Remix of all the old tracks from the PSX. I loved both 1 and 2 on the PSP, great games to add to the collection, great accompany game with Pulse. It was the unholy RR6 that crucified the entire Ridge Racer series. Ridge Racer 7 was just a soulless game when it came to release, just one, just one fuking track made this different from RR6. Route 765 did look awesome all rendered up on the PS3 though. I dont think there will be a Ridge Racer 8 at all, Namco Bandi has other intrests atm. I was hooked on Ridge Racer ever since its first one in the mid 90s. Im more a fan of Ridge Racer than Wipeout tbh:o Maybe i shouldnt of said that on a Wipeout enthusiast forum. :lol.Quote:

And this is my first post- ace!!!
Also there is another WipeoutHD update so you get stats and other tweaks!
Watching the trailer through ps3 and looks bloody awesome!:hyper
stevie:)
Hi Rubbernuke and welcome. You might want to post an introduction in the pilots lounge so we can all get to know you.
Not long to go now.... ill assume everyones going to be online Thursday evening then? Ive already told my girlfriend the TV is booked all Thursday night after work and Friday night as well so I can get acquainted with Fury! Ive been watching the few videos there are online and ive noticed the tracks look a little more claustrophobic than the ones weve got so far. Not saying thats a bad thing but that could make online games a bit more interesting when taking into account lag and people who use PA on online.
The videos you ,like most others have viewed,were taken at an angle,so they look narrower than I suspect they will actually be.
Think Venitea K width as the most probable track width at there narrowest.
As for the lag,well for the most part that has been addressed by the PSN 2.80 update,if you haven't got it yet I suggest you do [It wasn't a compulsory update,SCEE will announce when further compulsory updates occur,a new RULE apparently] but for the most part 2.80 makes HD online play very nearly like offline,which is great.
Don't forget the Tuesday HD update.5 pm UK time
Good point. I think well just have to wait and see when its released. Ive already had the update and it has made lag a lot better. What I meant though is that all of the other ships on a course being rock solid if you happen to nudge (or ram) them, sorry should have explained that a little better. This would obviously be a bit of a pain if the courses are thinner on average than they are now. But like you said, the viewpoint could have affected this so it could be fine.
I just got the news, (i was away), not a bad thing to come home to. Roll on the 23rd!:hyper:hyper:hyper:hyper:hyper:hyper:hyper
Me thinks PSN will go into meltdown thursday night! lol
I am going to stick to single player for a few days...and get to learn some tracks :)
Anyone know if we get new music with Fury?
Yes there are 6 new music tracks. Although it wouldn't matter either way for me, as I always use a custom soundtrack. I don't have a surround system to appreciate the 5.1 mixes anyway.:frown:
I'm not a fan of the kind of music WipEout games have either (that said, I loved the soundtrack of 2097), but every once in a while I ditch my prog rock collection in favour of the default set of songs, and their steadily pumping rythm (something you rarely find in progressive music) actually helps me concentrate more on the track, so they are much better for time trials and speed laps IMHO. That said, I rarely choose them, listening to music I love is paramount for me. :)Quote:

DragonForce works well too... but there's another thread about recommended tunes anyway...;)
Same here...and all i listen to is dance music so it fits in quite well with me :)
I don't know if this has been answered anywhere on this forum but I'm curious about the possibility to run Eliminator mode on the default Wipeout HD tracks? I would definately love to play every map on elimination mode ;)
Yes, you can! :) It's officially confirmed.
will wipeout hd fury get its own "department" on the forum as if it were a whole new game?
thanks
Oh if you want to catch a quick glimpse of the fury ships, the 'demo' mode (leave idle on main menu and it'll load a race) had ships with red trails
Question for Paul Tweedle.
I noticed that when I went into BADGES that my icon has become a ever so slight golden colour [level 44].
Is it that with the new update that once somebody has reached level 100 that this icon will change colour to either Gold or Platinum over time,and further that this will show when they are playing online as a sort of "Status symbol"
If i remember correctly, the max is level 50.
Good spot :nodQuote:

is there a "real" rank system now ? with earning/losing points (like SF4 for example) or is it the same "the more I play the higher rank i have" ?
You lose online ranking points if you quit a race, and I'm think I'm correct in thinking that it deduces more points for a quit race than if you were to have won a Phantom race against a full field.
Yes, i quit yesterday for some race, and after finished last in another one (4 of 4), and i had been downgraded from 18 to 17. Luckily in three or four races after i went into the podium and upgraded again.
Try not to quit during a race then.
Hey, I can't check at the moment but has anyone checked the voice chat to see if that has been fixed? That is probably the main problem for me, actually maybe the only one..
I'm hoping this is fixed as well.
Only reason I bought a SONY headset.
Think I'll wait until I download FURY to try it,rather pointless trying it now when some other factor comes into play tomorrow
Yes, like before. But as long as you play regularly, you can achieved rank 50 or 100, even with bad skills ... once again (with badges that only you can check) i find this feature pretty useless as it is now.Quote:

I admit that if you perform well, you will earn more points and get a higher rank faster, but i think you must keep getting good results if you want to keep your rank. Otherwise, the ranking system is meaningless.
That's why i'm hoping to see a ranking system like the Street Fighter 4 one, where wining against stronger opponents give you a lot of point (and losing against weaker ones substract a lot).
Actions during the game (destroying opponents, getting destroyed, getting out of the track, etc.) should also give/substract points.
lolololol!!
i got an awesome part of the trailer during a Loading!
the release is close now!
I don't know if you've notice from "the frenchman" 's dailymotion video, but the fury ships really have oomphed stats.
Btw, I know the frenchman, his name's John, and I've been working for his website. Cool! Only now he seems to not want to go on with it, so I stopped posting "news".
Oomphed stats. Yay. Faster. Stronger. Better handling (bet that's for battle zone)
Edit with the link : look at the stats hopping an inch further on that fury AG-sys. So cute. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9h...d-f_videogames
What exactly was or is the problem with voice chat? I'm just asking because I had some french guy swearing at us in lobby and in game more than a week before 2.00 came out, his voice was a bit muffled but he had no problems transmitting speech at any given point during the session.
