*chants* Goteki45!
seriously, i will buy a ps3 to see this lol.
Feisar.
United Europe will conquer all!
What about a Wipeout version of the Manx TT race?
Surely after, what, 300 years they would have a "classic" race/tournament?
The Assegai 8 Tournament :D
Starting in Hi-Fumi, then..... dunno ;)
i propose a pair of teams to play off the India vs Pak rivalry.
more on that later ;)
Puma 1 and Van Uber!
tigron! tigron! tigron!
hmm, in XGRA, there were a few tracks on mars in a place called 'Araxes Arabian Ridge', how about a Martian team in the same location?
i think 'Arachnid', 'Ares' or just plain 'Spyder' Would be good names for a team based in the 'Araxes Alternative Atmosphere Anti-Grav Research and Development Center', or AAAAGRDC, or any simpler name you can think of.
Team colours would most probably be deepred/maroon to match the colour of the environment, which would come in handy on open track sections where weapons can be used more strategically. Also, i reckon if 'Team Ares' did exist, they'd focus their attention on speed and turning ability to take advantage of the differences in atmosphere and gravity on mars as compared to earth.
Whaddya think?
(oh yeah, Qirex. YOU NEED QIREX!!!! i nearly cried when i found out it wasnt in fusion)
My idea of a team:
Team name: NG/RD (No Gravity Research and Development) or just -Gravity.
Location: Fibonacci, a space station, currently in orbit around the Moon.
Slogan: Got Space?
Team ideals and training: NG/RD (or -Gravity, depending on which you like) is a team founded in 2194. Dedicating their efforts on researching the effects of various technology in the vacuum of space, they've always had an eye set on the WipEout leagues. But, as with time restrictions and other important issues, they've never been entirely focused on constructing an AG craft....until now. Team founder, Adrian Fibonacci (it is questionable if he is related to the famous mathematician) commented in 2216 that an experimental AG craft was "being tested on a circuit inside the Fibonacci Space Facility (FSF)." He had no further comment on the project. The team also tests AG crafts on the Moon, not in a sealed station, but on the Moon's barren and cratered surface. During testing, observers noted that the ship was quite agile and strong, a rare combination in AG racing. "It was dodging various rocks with general ease," noted one such observer, "and was also very resistant to damage, on the rare occasion that it did scrape a crater."
The ship, of course, got many positive reveiws.
Team colors: Grey, black, and red.
Team stats:
Speed: 7/10
Shield: 8/10
Thrust: 6/10
Handling: 9/10
Ships I'd like to see make a return are Icaras and Van-Uber, but since they were already brought back in a download, this not likely to happen....
Well, that's all. Sayonara! :g
P.S. phantom, love your idea of a Mars team! :g
team name: Bhavani AG
origin: Somewhere near Pune, India
slogan: Jai Hind
story: Bhavani AG is rumoured to belong to decendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhosle(19-02-1627 to 03-04-1680). Bhavani AG was set to enter the F9000 league in the past but pulled out when it discovered how rife the sport was with corruption. Decades later, the Indian Government where shocked to discover that Triakis, an arms dealer which runs in the FX400 league, was arming, hiring and fundin terrorist groups to attempt to take over India and sieze its economy. Upon hearing this the Indian Army eliminated all of Triakis' associates, assets and groups from India within the space of 6 hours on the 8th March 2207. Bhavani AG were enraged by this and decided to lodge an entry into the FX450 league with the sole intent of destroying Triakis, they subsequently recieved backing from the Indian government and in the following weeks would have hundreds of ex-Tigron staff defect to them from Triakis fearing for their lives. Not much is known about this mysterious outfit but rumours would suggest the following;
- AG officials' instruments have failed to pick up readings of the ships shield energy
- The ship can summon holy powers at will, acting as a free spirit
- Bhavani AG is based in a secret facility under Shivneri Fort close to Pune, India which, interestingly, is the birth place of Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhosle*
colours; saffron, white, green & navy blue
*look up on Wikipedia
"The ship can summon holy powers at will, acting as a free spirit"
I think that's a bit too extravagant for any WO game... Just too much.
I'd like to see the turboweevel but with the haironaut look! 8)
@ swift killer: That ship.... It's just based on make-belief.... Not any real futuristic technology.... NICE TRY, THOUGH! :g
I think a Lunar/Martian collaboration would be in order, with two wide-spaced thrusters (well it's not going to have air brakes is it?)... but that could lead to a Zone ship design.... Flying wing?
Hey, how about a new Red Bull in-house team? Watching those air races has inspired me. If the old agility strategy of Assegai never comes back...
I can imagine it. Wider, larger control fins than usual, a very honed design...hm.\
...stick around, I'll think of a better description.
But their best equipment will be their lavish party center at the track, rather than the actual racing equipment - and if you don't believe me, watch the Red Bull NASCAR or F1 teams putter around their respective tracks if you haven't already.
The sad thing is that the cars look real nice. :( (loves RB paintschemes, can't you tell?)
Would'nt be hilarious if someone managed to put the car from Back To The Future in WipEout, lol
*sorry for the lame joke*
Pure GOLD! A Delorian would be a funny lil extra ;)Quote:

Don't forget Qirex - Russian Federation is still part of Europe mostly.
But here's a point I'd like to make, we have 12 teams in the series already, and 5 of them have been "revived" in Wipeout Pure after absences in Wipeout Fusion. Then there's EG-r and Xios, missing in Pure, that merge and become EG-X for Pulse.
There is representation for pretty much every region of the earth as well, since we now know that Triakis is primarily based in Adelaide and Icaras hails from Great Britain. The only countries and regions not represented would be Latin/Central America (Mexico), the Carribean Islands, India (and other surrounding countries), and Korea. Eventually there would be teams based on the moon or Mars and such.
Do we need any more teams, though, really? Unless we see a merger between two smaller outfits in the next game, I really don't think it's necessary
woohoo, Greek Pride! :D but yeah, Greece is already part of FEISAR because of the whole European Union thing :p
I'm still of the opinion that it'd be fun to have an extreme speed and cornering team, because I really like both Icaras and AG Systems, I liked Zone in PurE as an entertaining machine to pilot. Like a cross between Icaras and either EG-X or AG Systems, this sort of...very scary team to pilot, but mastering the ship is a mark of skill for any AG pilot.
I'm finally of the opinion that since each team represents a certain strategy and philosophy in one way or another, there is a limit to how many teams can appear in any one WipEout game before they start stepping on each others' toes and striking the nerves of gamers like us. I think about 12 teams at one time is the limit for me, and if my instincts are correct, almost anyone else here.
For Future wipeout installments
I like all teams from WO3 to remain, as well as Triakis, Mirage (even though I haven't driven it as the NA packs haven't been released yet, or atleast to my knowledge), EG-X, Harimau, a Swedish team and an all Canadian Team
IMO Auricom seemed to become more American when it became a fast, strong and hard hitting Heavey Weight (Think WW2: P-47 thunderbolt, F6F Hellcat etc.)
Canada has made contributions to the wipeout series by hosting tracks: Altima VII, Talon's Reach and Basilico. But I want a Canadian Team :)
There's a Brazilian Team, a pacific Island team, an African team and even a Malaysian team. Why can't there be a Canadian team? :cold
'Cause Canada is where the great teams have already picked off the craziest pilots? Nobody left who'll switch allegiance...:)
I'll say mine faves, what i will like to fly with/against in a new wipeout:
feisar: never raced on that, but is just an institution
pirhana: fastest ship, possibly with a new design
quirex: unthinkable not to have it in a wipeout game
auricom: as said before, their rivals
goteki 45: maybe not the best team, but my favourite right about now :)
icaras: it's english (i love england) and it always looked very good
ag system: like feisar, it's almost a stand-alone brand
mirage: nice ship, i'd be glad to see it again in the future
about new teams, I would like to race on an italian ship, of course, maybe inspired to our historical car brands..;)
Icaras? English?!!!!!!?!!
Icaras... Great Britain to be more accurate.
I'd like to see Tigron back, I really love the design they made for Pure.
What happened to all that famous Icaras internationalism and opaque origination?
That's what Pure and Pulse did to the backstory of the series. Isn't it sad?;) We don't get to guess about anything anymore. Well, actually I suppose we do. There's just less of it left open now.
I suppose we're limited to guessing if the new factory is at Cricklewood Green or just in Tottenham. ;)
I'd like to see Tigron and Van-Uber resurrected as teams. The story could be:
An eccentric multi-trillionaire who liked Tigron and Van-Uber (and any other resurrected teams) became the manager of the companies and financed their returns personally, including pilot training.
I do like the teams a lot (especially the Pure remakes) and I think this story may be feasible to use.
Actually they may still exist in a lower league (if there are any lower leagues of course). And they get back to the 1st league where the WO-games take place?
Another very good story.
I hope someone at SL sees these and agrees.
I agree, an Indian team would be a good idea, as would a Italian team
I'd like to see the original four (FEISAR, Qirex, Auricom, AG-Systems), Pirahna, Icaras, Assegai, Tigron, Van-Uber and Triakis return for the next WO game. Never was a fan of Goteki45.
An Indian team is a great idea, I think, especially as India could become a superpower in the future... But what would be their "thing"?
I suppose by thing you mean Tigron's aggressiveness, Harimau's care for nature, Triakis' militarism (they're a weapons manufacturer or somethin', right? :lol ), etc.?
hmm...maybe their ships would be very colorful/flambouyant (I'm sure I misspelled that) and they'd race in a more traditional manner? (perhaps a bit nonviolent, I dunno... :P )
Additionally, perhaps a team from Iceland or Norway would be an interesting addition? White, light blue, and black for colors perhaps...just a random thought. XD
About "flambouyant": I'm sure, too. :g
-------
Perhaps the Indian team, if run by a Hindu with a strong sense of history, would have a very large number of arms.. er, I mean, wings? And be painted blue? ;)
That was my idea, lol
Could have one with it's livery based losely on the Indian Cricket Team's One Day International Jersey.
Problem with creating new teams is chosing colours that dont resemble exhisting teams.
Hmm...possible combos for new teams:
1) cyan, magenta, black
2) purple, green
3) gold and blue? (might kinda resemble Feisar or Assegai, I don't know...)
4) brown, beige, and white
