hey i was just wondering about using the old huds, does this mean they have to add new symbols for new weapons, and in the case of wip3out, change the missile and rocket symbol? or would they just use HD symbols for everything

From the videos I have seen, it looks like they use the same style as the hud. ie: the rockets on the 2097 hud are the three ticks in a triangle like the original game. The others like leech are most likely adapted to that style.
ok kool, for some reason this excites me:lol
That's right for the WO2097 HUD, but the WO3 HUD uses - unfortunately - the WOHD symbols.
Really? Dang I didn't know this. Ah well at least we have the HUD in the first place. We can't really complain.
does anyone know if the shakey HUD and zoom effect stuff can be turned off, because i got really excited by the classic HUD's, but all the vids i've seen of the classic HUD's have this effect too...as well as the red flash of damage. i find the effect a bit over the top and why would a HUD do that in the future anyway.
i get the idea, make it feel like your there really hitting stuff e.t.c, e.t.c, but i don't like it and would really....REALLY, like to know if this is an optional thing in HD.
any input, at, all, would be apreciated. :)
I lub the 2097/XL HUD.
Ugh, 8 days. This feels like an eternity.
Seems like you cannot turn off the motion blur an the red flash effect.
Indeed, you cannot.
damn. :(
i really hoped it would be optional as it's such an extreme effect. oh well, thanks for clearing that one up for me guys.
Honestly, when you're racing, you don't notice. Don't judge from watching videos of the game. Playing it yourself is a whole different deal.
Oddly enough, as much as I hated the HD HUD when I saw the first screens of it, now I prefer it over the 2 old-school HUDs. Why? Because it's simply better organized and easier to read (weird, ey? :paperbag)
the thing is, it was one of the things that bugged me in pulse (also not optional in that game) i admit after a bit it wasn't noticible...or i just got better and didn't hit anything!!! it looks a lot more intense in HD, but i would like to play it to see, not just that but also to see a few other things i'm unsure about (art direction things, but that's my personal opinion) but with it been a download title i can't go into a shop and play a demo and not a single one of my friends, all gamers to some degree, owns a ps3 or really wants one. i'm hoping for some good solid 'real' reviews. looking forward to the 1up one and any by regular gamers on youtube.
well, I must say I prefere HD's HUD to Wip3Out's one, but 2097 is still my favorite.
I'd love to get Pure/Pulse's HUD with the fisheye effect that was available on the PSP game.
See, that's another weird thing: where's the fisheye HUD? I'm quite sure I've seen it in earlier videos... :?
I didn't see at all. The Zone Mode with the speed scale on the left, or the "steering" assist look like fisheye effect but that' all.
I had love this effect since it gave the impression that the HUD was displayed on the cockpit glass or directly on the pilot's helmet.
Maybe later with the new tracks (hidden request spotted n_n).
Hmmmmmmmm I think i'll still be using the WO3 HUD. HD HUD clutters the screen too much. I'm a minnimalist so thats probably why.
Yep – I totally agree! The standard HD HUD simply gets in the way of all that beautifully rendered Wipeout action, so the clear and minimalist WO3 HUD looks to be the best option for me too. Lets hope it doesn’t take too long to unlock it!
eLhabib – I meant to say thanks for posting your excellent video interview with Tony at Leipzig. The sequence with the Icarus ship and WO3 HUD finally convinced me to jump in head first and get myself a PS3! Only one week to go now...
Yay! I sold a PS3! ;) Tell Sony, maybe I'll get commission :D
Not fair !!! I sold (help selling) 4 PS3 just by showing the Hi-Def video from gamersyde u_u
Who said WO is a game just for hardcore gamer ^_^
Back on topic, I think there is a limit between minimalist HUD and ... empty HUD like WO3 one.
This is futurist races, so futuristic HUD should come with it n_n
I did hate the HUD on Wipeout HD when I played it at the gaming convention... trust me you're **** out of luck for knowing what current condition your energy is... and the lap and position numerals aren't visible enough... you have to look at them for several seconds... thank god for the new HUDs... WO3 HUD all the WAY!!!
Sarcasm? The energy indicator frames the weapon icons, top middle of the screen on the new HD HUD.Quote:

Just unlocked the 2097 HUD!!
I love it, when I first played with it, I keep the rest of the race absorving and picking up weapons just to see the new weapon icons.
And the font style... I love that font :dizzy.
2097 HUD. So that guy (forgotten who) who made a bunch of claims some time back turned out to be spot-on after all.
As well as the Wipeout 3 HUD.
Just got the Wip3out HUD, pretty cool. I feel all nostalgic when I use the Goteki 45 craft....
Are they just unlocked through campaign play, or does it require something special?
Unlocked through gameplay. I think to need 10k career points for the WO3 one. But no disrespect to the SL team. But the old HUDs are so much better and clearer. So easy to read especially WO3 HUD. That HUD will be my default for life :)
I think they are unlocked through loyalty points with a team, the Wip3out HUD is released at 10.000 loyalty points.
WipEout 3 HUD looks fantastic! Although a smaller screen percentage is recommended or else you've got to go far into the corner to read it, but it looks really good.
The only thing I wish for the HUD is that you could use HD's in Zone and 3's in race, because the Zone HUD is fantastic as well!
I like the WO3 HUD very much. Looks very clean.
Same for Zone Mode. There's very little covered by the HUD - and that's perfect for me.
That was exactly what I was thinking! That would be great.Quote:

Thanks to the developers for listening to the criticism on the HD HUD.
vouch all of this -- w3o is how we roll and HD for zone because it's so much clearerQuote:

You can use it to:
- judge when somebody is sneaking up on you (especially useful when you're in first place)
- block (non-turbo) passing attempts (as long you don't expose yourself to forward facing weapons)
- perfectly align mine and bomb drops in front of the craft behind you
- judge when to start a pulse to (in most cases) eliminate the passing craft
AFAIK the WO3 HUD also has the proximity indicator, although it is less precise than the HD HUD. But I still don't need it, just drop mines and bombs onto the speed or weapon pads :twisted It worked well enough for me until now.
Yes, it does have it.
It's the little yellow arrow that was, originally in WO3, for pointing to the pitlane (if I remember correctly).
There were two arrows. The one on HD's hud is the exact same one in the exact same place, but since there's no pit(:)/:(), there's no second arrow.:)
Am I the only one using the 2097 HUD?
Maybe it's because that was the first game in the series I ever played, but I feel like I'm back in my comfort zone. Plus, I love all the weapon icons on the 2097 HUD. Pure awesome if you ask me.
I just opened th W3 HUD about an hour ago and used it for a tournament. Suddenly everything is right with the world. :)
What's weird is the green text for "Final Lap" - I don't remember that from WipEout 3. Which is odd, because the graphic design team at Studio Liverpool seem to have had no problem perfectly copying everything else the Designers Republic have ever done.
Maybe it was just a green-ish shade of tracing paper they were using that particular day?
From What I Can Remember it should have been orange, and there wasn't a Final Lap message at all.
