It used to be the select button, but it was moved to holding L1 after the 'boost-select-boost' controversy
Hi all, I've been a lurking for quite some while, thought I'd take the opportunity to say hello. I've met many of you on the track, you may have been bemused that someone who spends so much time pinballing from wall to wall keeps coming back for more...
Started with eliminators, as befits a prole like me, and have decided to embrace racing. Still searching for my craft, the Fury EGX has it at the moment, but we'll see as time passes. I'm looking for people to learn the ropes with, both skilled and learners. Weapons off races seem attractive too - maybe we can organise a loose group for this?
To my eternal shame, I neglected to think of a cool name for my PSN ID,and, as such, I'm Andy, and my favourite number is 53.
I look forward to racing with you,
Regards

PS feel free to add me on the network...
Hi there and a warm welcome! Yes, now that you mentioned it, I think we´ve met online before...but I could also be wrong...:g
Anyway, enjoy this great forum!
Hi Andy, glad you decided to stay :)
played with andy for a few hours last night - he's a real cool dude and i can see him improving and being quite good :D
i should probably write my own introduction since i never could be bothered with all that but... eventually... :D
I'm a cool dude! Excellent! Cheers Syco :) Just had a few weapons off races, Flatflasat and Erich were there - very fast. Got left with an empty room very quickly though, this seems to be the case with races more than elims, at first impressions. Sometimes people quit only a few seconds into a race, very frustrating. I think we have met Flint', hope it was everything you hoped for. Thanks for the welcome, Andy
Hiya Andy,welcome to the zone,hope you enjoy your stay here.
Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, but not new to the game. Definitely happy to see the sudden influx of intrest in the game. I decided to run some online races last night (after taking a 5 month break from Wipeout HD,) and I've never seen so many races available at one time. Feel free to friend me, I'm well seasoned in all speed classes. See you guys on the track. 8)
Of course, many thanks! It´s always a pleasure to race WOZ-members and those who come here to join in.Quote:

Hey folks, this is Rapidkirby3k! =) Back then, I hardly got into the Wipeout series until I played Wipeout 64 for Nintendo 64. Just like Extreme-G, I went from there and became a instant fan of the series. 8)
Hi everyone !
I'm new here, but not new to the Wipeout world. I discovered the game with the demo of one of the first games (don't remember which one) on PSone, I really started with Wipeout Fusion (PS2), I've been playing on Pure and Pulse and just started seriously playing online with Wipeout HD (thanks to the Welcome Back package). I think I've played against some of you already (yes, that's me waaaaaaay behind :g). I'm okay on the basic tracks but I really need training on the reverse tracks (Sebenco Climb reverse is my nightmare). I'd love to find players who'd like to play without weapons. Unfortunately nobody seems interested, but I keep trying ! :twisted Feel free to add me on the PSN (ID: Nemark ^^) and see you in the game ! :nod
(PS: I'm French so... sorry for my potential mistakes)
Hi Nemark, and welcome. Many people here are fans of weps off races, so you're bound to find somebody to practice against.
Hi and welcome Nemark! :)
Well, I like "weapons off" races, if you detect me online, feel free to add and/or invite me. I´m infrequently online, but there are many other pilots in this forum who like to do this kind of race.
The last race (the last one I remember!) of this sort was hosted by slow-train. Which race class do you prefer? If it is phantom, I´m out... ;) But everything below is fine with me!
See you on the tracks, maybe...
Hey all, seems like there´s an awesome community here :P
I´m not new to the series; played WipEout PurE, loved it. But here´s the thing, I crash way too often into walls and I don´t understand why. No problems with the airbrakes either, sensitivity set at 10%.
I can´t even come 7th place on a simple track like Modesto Heights rev on Phantom elite :(( ¿Any tips?
yours sincerely, a fledgling pilot.
Thank you Colonel Gaddafi and Flint Fandango !
My favourite class is Rapier (and Flash occasionally), I'm not good enough for Phantom...
Hola que tal, I would suggest maybe upping the sensitivity to 50% or maybe a little higher than 10%... Maybe the extra airbraking sensitivity could be causing overcompensation into turns. Just a thought.:+
Welcome to the site! I'd recommend that every new person do a search for the threads where members discuss different control input, button setups, etc. It's very helpful no matter how long you've been playing wipeout, as HD has so many different types of settings (full analog vs. nearly digital, trigger airbrakes vs. button, etc.)
Try that! And enjoy the place. :)
Airbrakes 50% and accelearation 10% mate. Its the way.Quote:

Thanks, now I´m doing a bit better :P Oh well, practice makes perfect, they say-Quote:

Hi there lorezstar, welcome to the Zone :)
Hello, everyone. Been lurking for a while. Currently playing HD. I already recognise a few usernames on here from online races! My PSN is solaristics. Look forward to getting to know you all :)
Welcome buddy! Enjoy the Zone!

Been a fan of Wipeout since the first, have a massive soft spot for 2097 and only actually bought a PS3 to buy and play Wipeout HD.
Welcome buddy! :D Enjoy your time at the WZ!
Same here mate. Welcome to the Zone :)Quote:

Cheers
:+ Welcome matey! :D
Hi there IcEMAN, what took you so long?
Hey Colonel_Gaddafi, I have been on this great site for quite a while to be honest. Just being nosey and having a read. Thought it was time to get signed up and say hi. I think I have raced online with you quite a few time's now.
I definitely recognise the name, reminds me of Top Gun haha
Haha The Top Gun Iceman is a fake. He only pilot's slow jet figher's and not Wipeout craft!
I recognise you mate and a few of the other motley crew on here! Do you have any space on your friends list left? If so I will send a request mate.
whats up brother Ice and welcome to the zone!:+
Hi Greeny. Good to meet you. Cheers for the warm welcome! :+
Hi all! I'm a new racer, been playing HD/Fury arround a month or so (Welcome Pack :D). I'm not new to the WipeOut series, but never played them more than a few weeks, so I'm still a bit noob :P.
I can't wait to have some fun races with you, and learn more about this amazing game!
Another new racer (of sorts, I'm actually an old git) here, I was seriously into 2097 years back and thanks to the PSN Welcome Back pack I have rediscovered my long-lost love for Wipeout.
I'm gradually getting the hang of racing in Flash but I'm now looking to take the step up to Rapier, and thanks to HellfireWZ's vids I recently made a zone 92 on Syncopia.
I'm not new but no one really knows me... well I played Wipeout since I was little, Pure my first W'O. I liked the game since then and got Pulse, 64, Wipeout, Wip3out and HD. I'm a weird racer because to air brake, I set it to square and circle. I play W'O in a poor community (it's safe here, don't worry) and the only HD player here. I want to represent, put where I live on the W'O map. I came to WOZ to learn skills and make friends but, it's the other way around.
The things that have forums that I am on are those that have seen a decline in my fandom towards them.
If I am to use WipEout as an example,I was quite drawn in when I first played it on the Saturn(2097/XL).That was when I was 3-5 years old.
After that,my fandom declined. It was not until Pure where my interest slowly climbed back up.However,when I was playing Pure(I think mine is the crippled no-expansion version(region 3)),I was quite shaky.
When Pulse was to be released,I was very hyped up.
December 2009,got a PS3,and bought HD(Fury was already out) on the PSN. Remembered seeing the Blu-Ray disc version,but heck to it.
Interest in WupEout has never been this HIGH.
Welcome to those new pilots who have joined the "Anti-Gravity Pilots' Association(AGPA)",be sure you have thoroughly read through the "New Recruits' Manual".
