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

This seems like an obvious point that has been discussed before, but what the hell is up with the "photos taken" part of the statistics board? I've taken 1 photo -for the trophy- and it says I've taken like 600, what the hell man?

FWIW, my photo count is similarly wacked out-- it says I have taken 175 photos when I'm pretty sure I have taken less than 10.

Does anybody feel like the topography of some tracks is physically "impossible"? I'm sure it's just my imagination-- but if feels, well, wrong.

E.g., on tracks like Sebenco Peak reverse, it feels like I am moving downwards, and downwards, and downwards, and that I never really regain that elevation. Yet on the next lap, I continue to go downwards again and again! :dizzy

The long straight after the banked turn in the cave is uphill :)

Apparantly I've taken 378 photos. No. I've taken 88 (which is still a lot), and I'm glad I'm not the only one with this thing

Has there been any mention of a second expansion pack? I'm not expecting a full blown Fury v2, but there are several old tracks that could be remade as a small pack I would definietly get.

Have the SL times been changed since the removal of BSB????

I looked, swear everythings as it was. That cant be allowed surely?

Everything remains as it was pre-update sadly...

BSB records still on the ranks,

This is going to start a war with the French pilots and English pilots i reckon,

Im going to have to go into my bunker i reckon.

what about the english-pseudo-dutch-but-mostly-indonesian pilots? :P

How about the fact that they "Closed" the loop on moa therma reverse as i recently find out. No loop-skipping short cut anymore. So the speed lap time cant be improved on anymore

I was wondering, who is Zico?

Zico Liu is one of the members of the Studio Liverpool WipEout development team. They used his record as the standard for gaining the trophy.

I just started playing with SFX turned on after a long period of having it turned off and it's come to my attention that silly computer woman is ALWAYS on holiday.

She can say 'Shields Active', 'Energy Critical' and the autopilot stuff, THAT'S IT! nothing else whatsoever.

has anybody else's woman gone walkies?

I just got the game today and earned two bronze trophies, but I can't find where in the game it lists my trophies and what they were awarded for.

Help. :)

he trophies for any game aren't listed in the game itself, but in a section of the PS3 menu. Look for the Trophy Collection icon in the Game tab.

Thanks.

Is there a way to move the HUD icons farther away from the center of the screen? I only have Wipeout HD and not Fury now if that makes any difference.

They're a little to close to the action for my liking.

There is a setting in your options menu called 'screen size' :pc

If it's at 100%, you could try a helmet with magnifying glasses taped on it to cover your eyes though. ;)



/redneck solution.

I'm just wondering what the star which sometimes appears next to your name in the records means? thanks

That means perfect lap on the speedlap board !

ah, thank you :P

Anyone know where the thread for race records online not updating is, I can't find it?

Lol, mate ! but i sympathise :?

Is there one even? Maybe the issue is strewn across lots of threads. At the moment most of my times on the leaderboards are about ten seconds slower than they really are. Utter ****ing shite. Someone should start one then I can vent.:bomb

There is one about kgb mate, your not the only one who hasn't had records update. Theres alot of us. I have given up complaining about it(waits patiently for records update). I'm sure SL are aware of this problem and have some sort of patch their working on:)http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...t=speed+errors

has anyone here worked out stats for shields of ships..like how much better they are from each other.for example is a 10 for shields 30% better than a 7 for shields or is it like the speed stat where the difference from 7 to 10 is like 0.15% or something silly like it..Alos is there a list of what damage weapons do..

thx:nod

jasmin, i'm not to sure about shield stat difference as i don't worry to much about that myself. The weapons damage stats show in the hud next to the weapon you've picked up, couldn't tell you them individually though.

What loses you the least amount of time out of these:
Hitting 5 mines
Getting hit by 3 rockets
Getting bombed
Respawning
Being Eliminated

I thought being eliminated would be the worst thing but i swear i lose way more time hitting 5 mines. any ideas?

They're all quite bad Yeldar, rockets are definitely the worst for stopping power alone. Respawning after dropping off is least likely to make you lose as it doesn't take half an hour to get back up to full speed and you're only a few metres from where you fell off.

It surprises me too about elimination. If it were anything but HD it would be still be the worst, though :P.

It depends on the elimination.
I think I've said it before, but if you get eliminated and your ship careens off the track and explodes, you will respawn immediately after this explosion.
However, if you are unlucky and your ship carcass remains on the track, it can take longer than a full rocket hit to recover.

I tested each of these today, and here's what I found. In order, from most time lost to least time lost:

MOST: Being Eliminated (and remaining on track)
2) Getting hit by 3 rockets
3) Hitting 5 mines
4) Getting bombed
5) Being Eliminated (and flying off track)
Least: Respawning

Thanks for the info...I have more :g

@ People with rumble: Has anybody else had their controller vibrate non-stop during the 'loading' screen just before an online race?

Do you like leaving the DS3 in your groin area when that happens Yelder?

BTW this random DS3 controller vibration has happened once with me, when i exited a game will at the same time hitting a bomb.

The "boost at start" in Wipeout HD looks like it's teasing me.
I've done it before but can never do it again !
I'm pressing the "X" button at the exact moment the red bar is complete. I know I'm about 50ms precise at pressing the button, probably 20-30ms for some tries.
Could it be some kind of bug or wrong setting on my side ? (I set all controls option to their default settings)
Or does my timing suck that much ?

Do you guys press the button :
- when the red line reach the right corner ?
- when "GO" is displayed ?
- when there is the "go" sound ?
I'm asking because there are very slight differences.
Does all three work 100% of the time for you, or is it supposed to be something hard to pull-off ?
I'm trying the first one, but it will never work :robot actually I've even tried the two others, but none will do.

Thanks.

When "Go" is on the screen. Not much more I can say to help. :? Sorry. Keep at it.
If you press too early, you won't get the boost, slightly too late and you'll still get one, but smaller than perfect timing. Too late and you obviously don't get it.

I *finally* got it, thanks for the clues.
I was pushing the button the *exact* moment "go" shows (like I'd do in a rythm game, I play these) but that was way too early -> failed every time.

I've no actual visual clue left so I just use the sound effect as a mark.
With that, I can finally do it consistently !
Thanks :)

And sorry for the stupid post, I should've tried to delay the moment I press the button but I was too obsessed at timing it right as I thought it had to be:brickwall

I'm wondering whether there is only "one" boost start, meaning you either get it or not, or if there are more. HD experts? :) (hope my question makes sense...)

Good Question.

The answer is the closer you press the button to the perfect time the better the turbo start you will get.
Practice the turbo start with your own ghost on a speed lap to see for yourself.

If turbo-starting early, you spare the time you'd have waited before pressing the button (later). It can amount to a few tenths of seconds, I believe.
That might explain that you come ahead of another ghost who turbo started late ?
But that might be what you implied from the very start.
What I don't know is wether the acceleration boost itself can be variable, I haven't checked myself.
