They are exactly that - immersive simulations - matrix style :)
My favorite team is a toss between Pirahnna and Quirex, two completely different ships, I know. Reasons:
Pirahnna: Great steering, nice speed and good looks. The low shield is not really a point for me, as I never hit walls, and I take my pit stop when needed :wink:
Quirex: Great speed, great thrust, and it has just always been my favorite ship, because it just looks awesome.
Piranha is beautiful... it is, but AG systems - not that fast though...but God, does it look good :)
hard to decide they all have bad and good points but some just are good to fly with :D
like assegai is very good but its shield is like thin as a wire.
pirhana has excellent handling and its speed is not to fast to fly out of a corner. (newbies excluded :wink: )
feisar is very fine in phantom :D
and goteki is also good with shield
icaras is like crap handling but i can still manage it with airbreaks :)
Qirex [RD] is like a bro of icaris only less speed and 1 more shield to make it a little bit more handable 8)
auricom is like a standard craft is has all 3 i think.
AG-S(ystems) is quite good but i dont like its handling. ( i dont know why but i dont fly good with them) (well not that good)
I've always flown AG-5Y5 but I've tried and tested the others for the fun of it. Only exception was in Fusion where I was stuck with the ghastly looking EG-R craft :S
As for Pure tracks though, any chance of Qoron IV??? I notice there wasn't a fave track thread for 64.
Feisar rocks. I always loved it. I know that it's not the fastest ship, but this just makes the race more exciting IMHO.
Piranha, no competition, with Qirex coming a nostalgic Second.
AG, or Piranha. In Vector class Assegai, i tend to find that on longer races it tends to blow up more... I usually come out ok with the Feisar although it can be a bit of a battle. And then the Auricom, and the Quirex, which take alot of effort but can be rewarding.
Overall the AG though.
Wipeout: Feisar (1)
Wipeout 3: Assegai
Wipeout Fusion: EG.r
Wipeout Pure: Piranha/Icaras
Sadley, haven't touched Wipeout XL yet. I bought it once, but only ended getting ripped off when it didn't actually come in the mail, and I was waiting and hoping for that months on end!!! Pisses me off!!!
I wouldnt worry too much, its not as much of a challenge as the original Wipeout, and is outclassed by Wipeout 3. In my opinion, the worst of the series on the PS.
wipEout2097/XL worst of the PS1 era??? well, it might not be as tough as the first one, but it sure is more refined, and a lot more varied in track design. Also, for a lot of fans, 2097/XL is the one that defines the style they think of when someone mentions wipEout.
don't get me wrong, if in your opinion 2097/XL is the 'worst' of the series on PS1, that's fine, everyone has their own taste. I just don't think that 'worst' is a valid word in this context. To me, the first 3 entries in the series are pretty much equal, with the original winning in the atmosphere department, 2097/XL winning in style and gameplay, and 3 winning in challenging difficulty.
Yeah, i can accept that, i couldnt think of a way to say "least best" without making it over complex. Im not saying its bad. Its just that the original wipeout is so hard is such a challenge, and Wipeout is just a bigger game, with more stuff in it, leaving 2097 as a kind of middle child. It is just personal opinion i guess.
well in terms of content, 2097/XL is a LOT richer: more speed classes, more ships, more tracks, more challenges, more weapons etc. etc. ...
2097 has much less of these annoying track splits! Sampa run and Stanza inter are hard.
it's been a loooong time i ve heard someone feeling Wipeout XL/2097 the ' least best ' of the series...
As Martin said :' everyone has their own taste'
And you know my taste Huh Martin ? :D
GASP! Sacrilege!
[Loves XL]
Well, maybe i need to give it more time. And i mean that Wipeout 3 is a bigger game than 2097, dont think i was concentrating when i typed that, haha!
i love the piranha in Wipeout3
Feisar all the way for me.
Assegai is my second favourite, and AG Systems a very close third.
Assegai by far. Fast and manouverable. I only play on phantom and Assegai is the most rewarding craft. A bad shield doesn't really matter if you don't hit any walls. Really comes into it's own on tracks like stanza inter and 90degree turns on manor top.
