Its totally too late, and I like Flash anyway :)
Flash implies speed - quick as a flash ! :P
Vortex for me conjurs up images of Star Trek ships heading towards a blue swirly thing and the adventure game on bbc2 (remember that ?) and also it would be
V, V, V, R, P
loads of V's !!!!
You'll get used it, Foxy loves it really he just likes to make fun of me, after all he is the one who usually sports the Freddie Mercury moustache :wink:
:P
Kids and grown ups love it so, the happy world of....
:twisted:
to be honest, as infoxicated says, it does grow on regardless of liking it.
For vortex, I kinda had a whirlpool in mind, y'know, really fast moving water... but now you mention it, it does have a sci-fi ring to it.
This is exactly why I am not the professional here! :wink:

''Kids and grown ups love it so, the happy world of....''
what does that refer to? [non-Englander here, remember? ;) i can't complete the quote.]
.
unless it was used somewhere else first its the saying that haribo use to advertise their horrible sweets, that last word your searching for is haribo
in german it's:
"Haribo macht Kinder froh - und Erwachsene ebenso!"
.
thanks AD. haribo, three syllables, which fits the rhythm pattern. :)
.
I know the common english song ends in haribo, but I really dont think thats what was implied....
For France it's ' Haribo , c'est 'bo' la vie '
I like the name Flash which reminds me the film ' Flash Gordon ' when i was a bit younger ( love that song from Freddy too ). Obviously Flash could enter into the Wipeout Dictionnary easily ( remember that old topic :?: )
Vortex is great , i'll vote for it :wink:
How about Typhoon a good synonym for 'uncontrollable speed'
Like Hellfire has already said about his AAAAAGGGHHHH name for 6th speed, i could propose a new ' WHOOOOOSHHH' class. :D
Zone mode will probably be faster than Phantom, i hope the difference between the 2 won't be so huge than in Fusion : when you have udgraded your ship at 100% even with Piranha it's like zone 25 not much more. And for those who has reached zone 60 it's a huge difference, you can trust me 8) .
I hope PuRe zone mode will be as awesome as Fusion'one was. Just a detail about that : please don't make resetting the score till a certain number of points like in Fusion ( 4.294 Billion) it could be great.
-On zone mode, I'm afraid I'm gonna start turning the PSP like a steering wheel, and then loose focus of the screen!!! :D This game should really get me used to the PSP's handling (not like I'm gonna play many other PSP games).
-I would like flash if only it was a higher class. Why would flash be classes slower that Phantom? Which is faster, a phantom or a flash of light? It's not known to me.
-But of course I'll get used to it!!! Not that I'll play it much though (I'll probably be playing phantom the whole time, it teaches the best skill :D ).
-For the 6th class; however, IT'S ALL BLURRY!!!! :lol:
I have about seven words that accuratley portray every phantom race I have been in.Quote:

My excuse is that because I admire all the fine work that the graphics people have done with the backgrounds, I like to go slow enough to appreciate it. :D
What really annoys me is when you manage to get a quick start in a Phantom race and plough straight up the arse of the craft in front. I pretty much judge my whole race within the first ten seconds. Crashing on or before the first corner makes me restart every time, it usually means I'm in for one crap race.
Mind you, I'm not really a big fan of Phantom myself, give me Rapier any day. :wink:
Rapier is the best speed, but with only 4 laps it isn't long enough, Phantom is ironically easier in that they give you an extra lap in which to get into first place, granted that's still a mean feat on a track like spilskinanke. Where does Flash go in the order? If it's before rapier hopefully it'll get 4 laps and Rapier will get 5 :) That'd be class.
P.S. Plus Rapier had the much, much, much cooler logo compared to Phantom.
Logos for classes? :? Well, in pure, if your gonna be playing other players, your probably not going to need to turn in order to nearly miss the first craft in front of you. They'll know the boost effect also.
--
And then again, you'll never know. :wink: Rapier's awesome too, but I like to play the top speed over and over again until i'm really good. (At least hoping to get really good). I rarely crashed into the craft in front of me because I "got the thing down". It's pritty easy if you get the hang of it. Soon, it'll become second nature, and you won't even remember it. I didn't remember this problem until you mentioned it!!! :wink:
Zone on pure = there goes my analog nub!
I like that idea that they should add class logo's, I wonder if that have (insert zargs' thinking smiely here...)
Doens anyone play a fast racing class then get impatient when they play a slower class after beause it feels too slow?
I have plenty of times. Well, that's why I usually never step down from classes. I thought you guys were talking of already existing class logos!!!! Ya, it's an awesome idea! Wipeout had logos for classes, so it would be nice to bring back the tradition. :wink:
in wo1 there were logos for venom and rapier!!! 8)
in 2097 .. don't remember .. http://www.geocities.com/zargz/leenden/phm.gif.. << this one you mean, mobius^ ? ;)
Praeterea censeo autopilotum esse delendam
They already did, unless you haven't played w'o" or 2097 you should remember them. Vector was two superimposed 'v' shapes with a 5 pointed star; Venom was a semi-circle backed onto a larger quarter circle with the star above the quarter circle, though they made the semi-circle more angled in 2097; Rapier was four inverted 'L' shapes 2 facing left, 2 facing right with the same star above them and Phantom was some weird circular fan shaped pattern. They ditched them in w3o when tDR went completely up their arses thinking they were the design gods with that uber-minimalist nonsense.Quote:

(puts up hand meekly) I really, really liked the minimalist style on W3O (puts hand down again and hides)
