klax I would recommend you read the guidelines before someone I know gets very angry with you ;)
More specifically, there is no need to quote the whole post above you unless you are replying to a very specific part, which is the one you will quote. ;) Reason is that the same text is not displayed twice.
You could easily fit the # of races though.Quote:

I guess there are also many who don`t care much about that, however. So, apart from that, the change I`d like to see more than any other is to have rankings to online races. It would add a new level of purpose and excitement. 8)
ok but let's release some of these things that would improve HD, SL?!
Agreed. Bring on the goods SL!
I know this has been mentioned before, but I was thinking about limited energy in time trials. So, when you start out on a time trial your shield energy is exactly what your enegy is on any given race, thus controlling the number of BR's possible, finding better lines through side shifting, and so forth. The catch being whenever a perfect lap is done any energy spent on BR's is replenished at the beginning of the new lap. Kind of a page out of the Eliminator mode from Pulse. Or only a specific amount of shielding is rewarded for said perfect laps, and so forth...
I'd like to know what others think on this, as it may be not all that great of an idea:(
That way of doing TT is much better, I think. Pure was like that, apart from that it didn`t renew energy for Perfect Laps. It`s a much more interesting way to do TT, but can`t be as quick as the current records with unlimited Barrel Rolls, so I think it`s too late to implement the idea.
Yes Lunar, it was in Pure like that. You started a TT race with full energy and you had to divide your energy in most possible BRs per lap to be the fastest. Your energy didn't get replenished and it was really exciting to TT 5 laps and when you got an almost perfect race and doing that last possible BR to be at critical shield energy, you had to keep your nerves down to the finish for some last turns. Man, the adrenalin went rushing through all your bodyparts.
I hope over time WOHD expands in to a bigger game, that is made with a plug-in type interface. So things can be easily added in the future. Then over time come out with a disc version of everything we have downloaded and addon on to HD.
Finally found my PSP cord, hadn't seen it since August. I was unable to play Pulse or Pure. Playing Pulse for the first time in several months yesterday, realizing how great that game was. How seeing the tracks from that in HD would be so much fun.
I wish HD had some of the effects from Pulse, like the spectators taking pictures of you on the starting grid, it's fun seeing the little camera flashes. Or the weather effects certain tracks had. Seeing the tracks from Pure and Pulse would make me all dizzy and faint. lol
Talons Junction in HD! Woo hoo.
indeed, i have never play pulse but if you tell this, it's really a shame that the flashes which is really a nice touch hasn't ported in such a "bigger", better game who HD is, most important a game who run on ps3( think it's capable of such things,don't you think? )...this really give me want to get a psp
our game need to be expanded, i never stop to say this...
yeah i see videos on youtube everyday, only just image tracks like tech de ra , vertica , de konstruct or outpost 7 in HD:rock
basilico! HD really need a gloomy and very dark track, any of the tracks is set on the evening or night ( anulpha don't count much since for the most is set into a closed structure )
i would really like a campaign mode for the reverse tracks
Why can I do a BR in Zone? =(
yes would be cool to be allowed to do some race campaign in reverse tracks...:rolleyes:
It gives you a ton of points, so is worth doing early as you can recoup the shield loss by getting a string of perfect zones. But yeah, I hate accidentally BRing in zone too.Quote:

There's no particular reason for not taken those scores as legits.
If you see and understand what i am talking about
yes, good point :) It could be annoying for someone who races mostly tournaments. Let`s hope that SL are building up for a big splurge of updates and improvements to online play. I need rankings - I need to see how globally average I am! 8)
I've not read through this thread, so this has probably/hopefully been mentioned, but I'd like a no barrel-roll option on the race setup page, just like there is a no weapon option.
Barrel rolls are great, but tiring on my poor thumb. I'd quite like to just race old-school sometimes.
Other than that, I'm just looking forward to more tracks (maybe with pretty rain effects like Pure/Pulse? :D ) and maybe a message system within the lobby...
The no-BR option would be nice also to prevent me from doing it accidentally, barreling into the wall and too often an explosive death.
Wipeout HD is a fantastic game, but here are a few ideas to make it even better:
(*) = known borrowed idea
1) more game modes:
- elimination mode (never played it but sounds great) (*)
- endurance mode (race with like 50 laps)
- team racing (the whole team must finish, or must stay alive, or the points are added ... need to think some more)
2) advanced options in the controls:
- enable us to assign 2 different buttons for 1 action like going forward
- barrel roll sensitivity slider: there is obviously some code in their program saying, this looks like a good/bad L-R-L, and according to that value, decides to barrel roll or not, well give us the ability to modify that threshold so we can perform more barrel rolls or less depending on how we play, then in zone mode i'll increase it, and to beat zico i'll decrease it, otherwise adjust it to my likings.
- ability to use the 2 sticks, the dpad, L3 and R3 individually (so I can choose to recharge my shields with dpad down for instance)
3) better online:
- text chat (*)
- some sort of IRC channel, just to discuss and say: let's do a bling brigade for instance
- more options at the host disposal like ability to choose a set of weapons (only rockets + mines for instance), choose the number of laps (endurance mode) (*), or bots maybe (maybe not)
- game auto start when everyone is ready
- add a title for the game (example: "bling brigade" hehe)
4) improve the split-screen mode:
- make it run at 60fps either by lowering the resolution or the textures
- a new way to divide the screen ala COD5: one player plays on top left, the other player on bottom right, which each screen being more or less 16:9. The unused space can be used to show the stats: weapon, energy, speed... something like this:
=------------
|########| P1 stats
|########|_________
|#######./########|
=---------/#########|
..P2 stats.|#########|
..............|==========
5) more content:
- more tracks
- ships (if that doesn't unbalance things, otherwise just more skins, or average ships)
- additional campaign
6) other details:
- race replay + replay editor + upload the best replays to youtube
- .............
As for the IRC channel you mentioned, there's always #wipeoutzone on QuakeNet :) Seems a little dead though, so I'm hoping to see some more people join in on the action! Spread the word!
