How about matte-black+orange?
I'd really like a team that represents Greece. I know its a wierd thing to ask, but that's my only request.
I'd think FEISAR would have Greece under it's umbrella of nations, but then again we have had Icaras, Van-Uber and Xios/EG-X emerge from EU countries. Qirex and Tigron originate in Russia, which is a European country (based on UEFA ;)).
It wouldn't be a bad idea, given that there's so many Greek mythology references one can pull out of their ass to name the team and base the ship's personality upon.
True, but that's like saying Isreal are part of europe for being in the Eurovision.(If you guys in the US can watch it:))Quote:

offtopic, but do you think zone mode was named after this site?
More likely because you have to be "in the zone'' [the zen state of non-grasping but fully aware consciousness, also sometimes called wu-wei] in order to perform well.
BTW, still offtopic, I thought those guys in the Finnish entry for Eurovision a couple of years ago [?] were aliens, yet they were still considered Euro enough.
uh... topic?
Oh, yeah. I want Icaras to be one of the basic teams available from the start.
^ Their style has always been too extreme for it to happen. That's why they were the last unlockable team in WO3/SE, and have always been DLC in the PSP era. If Icaras were to "soften up" a bit like Qirex has in recent installment, maybe I could see that happening.
Unless the next game had more than 8 teams from purchase and they were all available from the start, of course ;)
Icaras should most definitely nOt soften. [is highly tempted to make sexual joke here, but that would be very unoriginal. ;) ]
Lol @ Lance. :g
But yea, Icaras would be too extreme, for lack of a better term, to have right from the start. At first, in Pulse, I thought a team like Piranha was too extreme! :o However, with only slightly higher maneuverability and thrust, and much worse shielding (statistically speaking anyway o_o) I guess Icaras is still more extreme than anything else on the market. :P
There should be a team with Al Gore's face pasted on the side of it. It should run on Cow Manure and go about 50kph. It should be the color green
one word..."turboweevil' Al and eric know exactly what im talking about (VT) l:g
PS- ill settle for haironaut Jay
A team that represents SPARTAAA!!!
I still think we should have the DMC DeLorean as a funny little hidden extra :P
One critical element of motorsport/racing which is missing from WipEout : an Italian team using the Azuri, Roso and Pink (the Giro D'Italia colour).
Also, I would personally like to see a German team as a tribute to the inventors of techno = KRAFTWERK.
Just talking about that on another thread "what happened to Van Uber?" a few weeks ago. Van Uber was a Germany team. Also on that thread where tallkng about an Italian team also, as well as using the Nurgrenburg ring as a track. Actually talkng about the DMC DeLorean 12, that car has gone back into repoduction this year. I would get one if, one was avaliable as RHD and if they put a proper engine in that vehicle, maybe a forced induced Flat6 engine since the car is already in a RR configuration, that OHV V6 in that car is acient tech.
Turboweevil ftw XD
But seriously, I want to see Qirex return to their roots. Brutally strong and fast ships, aggressive racing dynamic and vicious looking twin-barrel ship design. I know they've kept the catamaran ship since XL, but it looked like a piece of garbage in Pure, and in Pulse it looks more like the flying trashcan Goteki from WO3 (SOMEone called Goteki the flying trashcan up in Vermont, I forget who :P). They can still have terrible handling, but as long as the game engine itself is competent, it doesn't matter (I fly Qirex just fine in XL, 64, and 3, but in Pulse they're awful... I found myself using EGX actually)
^ As long as the ships of Triakis fit that description to a tee, Qirex will still be the middleweight of the Wipeout teams.
The developers wanted to achieve total balance between all 12 teams in Pulse and HD. It stands to reason that if "Wipeout PS3", as Wikipedia calls it, is anything like HD or Pulse, you can expect more of the same.
Hmm...I don`t know on this XD let me think here.
AG-Systems: Well it`s been here for a while and they won a champion chip in Pure, so ya :3 love to see the Japanese team again.
Assegai: Well this team is improving since Pure, so sure, why not?
Auricom: You cannot have Wipeout with this American team, but it sucks to have it now downloadable in Pulse :( it`s not right.
EG-X: Hmm...EG.R and Xios together? That`s cool. :3 Needs to make improvements on the turning and shields however.
Feisar: I will cry if they don`t have Feisar in the game :(. It`s been around in every game along with Auricom.
Goteki 45: hmm...It`s good to see it back in Pulse..I don`t know on this team XD;
Harimau: New team from Pure. I wanna see it more D: it`s really good in Pure.
Icaras: I would wanna see it again playable instead of a downloadable team :( need freaken wireless to get those pack which I don`t have..
Mirage: Never seen it in action so I don`t know :/ .
Piranha: This is a team I would love to see again :3 due to it`s fast speed.
Qirex: Another of my favorite teams :3 but I was sad when it didd`nt come in Fusion along with AG-S. I wanna see more of this Russian team in other games.
Triakis: I like this team ^^ Super shields with super speed. Sure, why not?
Tigron: **** no D: The thing looked like a giant battering ram and it sucked.
G-Tech Systems: Nope, dun wanna see the team again. The ship didd`nt look like a WipEout ship.
Van-Uber: I wanna see this team again ^^ not bad in Fusion, but it sucked with the shields.
So yeah XD those are my choices
AG-5Y5 definitely...speed, acceleration and handling over shield power anyday...:)
I don't see how they could add more teams without getting rid of teams to do so. And Wipeout Fusion ensured that wasn't going to happen ever for as long as the series is developed.
Well, if you think about it, it's abit like F1 with the strong legendary teams being permanant while others come and go.
feisar, auricom, qirex and ag sys = ferrari, mclaren, williams & honda (which is essentially what use to be the Tyrrell team before it was bought out by BAR), that said, i cant see williams lasting any longer, even though they have two VERY good drivers.
If longevity was correlated to success, FEISAR would have shut down their racing team way before XL! Thank goodness the bureaucracy still cares. :g
Plus, Ferrari, the only team that has run every season, has only been around about 60 years. FEISAR has run about 130 seasons consecutively.
Maybe the future economy does improve so much that multiple teams can stick around for over a century.
I think all the ships in pulse always need to comeback in every new game, or else people are gonna lose their fave ships. But the biggest thing i want to see come back is the different feel of the ships. I havent played pure :brickwall, but in pulse the ships all feel the same to me. I mean i can see that im overtaking a FEISAR in a Pirhana on a straight, but it doesnt feel any faster. I can see assegai has a tighter trning circle than triakis, but they feel similar. I want the good old dys of Wip3out, when you raced an icarus you cried to your mummy that you couldnt do it, and when your in an assegai you feel if you touch any walls your going to blow into a million pieces.
There were players that liked EG-R, Xios, Tigron and Van-Uber that recently lost their favourite teams when EG-X was formed and the latter two were just dropped entirely for Pulse...
I would not mind seeing the Cardracer back in action. It looks quite good. It is not among the fastest ships, but I find it enjoyable to pilot. :+
Cardracer's look is akin to the WO3 AG Systems, I find that to be pretty cool. :g
Piranha must return or I will not buy the game.
Piranha leaving has as much a chance as Bush had of finding WMDs
Well all the current teams should come back. I also think the 'real' teams should come back as well, like Tigron and Van-Uber. I liked them in PurE, seeing them again would be cool. Plus it's always more ships to choose from, and from recently: more skins! Yay for additional content :D
Hate to disagree, but constantly bringing back teams and dropping them and bringing them back would just get irritating after awhile. It leaves no room for any new entities if we just keep bringing back the exact same teams game after game because some fans would complain.
Where did I say we should drop them another time? What about keeping them? Can't we do that? ;) If they come back in the next Wipeout they should stay there for good I think.
It becomes harder for Studio Liverpool to acheive balance with the limited amount of parameters to measure performance if there's so many ships. They'd either have to add more areas (Aero, Mass, Weapon Power, Braking, etc.), or rate ships on a full scale of 1-10 (seeing a FEISAR with a "1" Top Speed instead of a "7".)
That's why from a developer's standpoint, it could make sense to cap the teams at maybe 12, or even cut teams from the list. At most 16 would work.
RJ' O'Connell, despite seeing most teams repeatedly, if you look back over the series, you will see that many teams have sneaked in, and stayed such as piranha, triakis and harimau, and I can see mirage and EG-X staying.
While a bit of team rotation is annoying, it can keep fans interested with a 'have they brought back X this time' addiction, as well as 'I love this series too much', ie. more interest, more sales.
Some like G-Tech just didn't work but others are here to stay. Personally, I want van-uber and Tigron back, with fresh colours and a design reminiscent of their old ones.
That's okay too.
But keep in mind that there has to be an injection of new blood into the series too. Piranha in 2097, the "I-G-A" Alliance in Wipeout 3, Triakis in Pure...I'm not 100% against using all the old teams, but there better be room for new teams too! :g
I wonder if Wipeout will ever let you design your own craft, F-Zero GX style, and (unlike F-Zero, which used generated names) name it yourself. I really, really enjoyed making my own machines in that game and finding one that suited my driving perfectly.
Of course, if everyone is making their own teams, some of the continuity of the existing teams will fade since the really devoted players will have abandoned the established teams for their own customized ones. Maybe just the upgrades from Fusion, coupled with custom ship skins, would be a good compromise.
Or maybe they could keep all existing ships, but let you make your own face avatars to pilot them. The technology is here now. With this, you'd see the faces of your rivals when racing online, which would help you get to know them better. Add in live chat, and online racing would be un-put-down-able!
F-Zero.. Im tempted to find the SNES box and dust the old cartriges and put the original 1990 classic in for remincent sake. or what about some good old ridge racer:)
To me, g-tech was probably the worse ship in wipeout ever, the thing looked like a urinal put down flat.... look at the attached image, you may find it funny, if you dont, sorry for my crap humour :paperbagQuote:

When you fail to bribe your way to success, you fail at racing, period. :g
[/offtopic]
However, Tigron, Van-Uber and EG-X have remained fan favourites - Tigron had a nasty attitude and were a great "villain" team, Van-Uber has that indipendent spirit and were very effective in Pure, and EG-X have that winning pedigree, no-nonsense approach and a really good ship in Pulse. :+
I want the original Amiga 500/1200 synth male voice to make a come-back darn-it!
"Missile!" "shield energy low"
I hate that annoying public school female voice saying "welcome to wipeout pulse"
grrrr
Having said that, it's always good to have someone you hate so that you can have a good go at blowing them upQuote:
