Personally I use the digital control. Probably because I played 2097 to death which didn't support analogue.
I'm interested to see wether people prefer the analogue control, or stick with the digital.

Analogue - in fact, the very reason I cant get to grips with 2097 is that I cant use the d-pad to save myself.
Well, except in Tony Hawks games, but that's different. ;)
2097 supports analogue, use a negcon, you will never go back :wink:
I am aware of that and I have six things in the pipeline. 8)
Digital.
Probably because 2097 was my first WO. The analog stick of the DS and the DS2 isn't extremely good either (at least I cannot get it to control the pitch accurately while driving).
i use digital for all my times.
Digital only.
Well, I tried to use analogue for some time, but it always ended up with frustration, trying to smash the dual shock into the nearest solid surface. I just couldn't feel it....used to hit the digital all the time, and now all the gentle and precise moves are gone, it's imposiible for me to skip over onto analogue (feeling kinda like a caveman unable to evolve...)
negcon always. digital before that. never liked playing wipeout with the sticks. (warning: divergent thread comment approaching)
I would assume that everyone in N. America has this problem, but do you 2097ers have the negcon bug where either the replay's gas or the steering gets slightly off and eventually you knock into a wall (after that the craft pretty much flounders about in one spot since its still trying to make turns that it would have made further up the track)? That drives me batty!
Digital.
If Sony's analog sticks where as good as Nintendo's, I'd use them, but alias, there absolute crap (or pants, as you English would say) so I don't even bother.
Although I'm thinking of buying a Negcon (found one on eBay for cheap, so I'm going for it) so I might be switching to that soon. :D
digital...
a preference holdover from the original wipEout days.
although OT, I realized I'd played all of Fusion with the analog !
I tried again with digital I liked the control a little better.

delayed response to Joel/science: i used to see the ship floundering around just off the start line on replays with neGcon being used, but i've not seen it for about a month. no idea why. maybe something changed when i re-calibrated the control response. i doubt it though; it's probably just one of those unexplainable results of chance and random electrons on a lucky streak
.
I play using analogue
like Science....digital before and Neg-Con now
Same here. First digital, now neGcon. I am unable to use the analoge sticks to any good ends. ;)
Analogue all the way. Why? For one thing, it's a hell of a lot smoother, and that you can keep an angle when cornering. As for using digital...put bluntly, it's jerky.
i will have to agree with foxd rejj and infox, anologue because withe negcon im sure (ive never tried yet but from wat i hear they are good) you can graduly adjust to the corner but with digital it is jerky specialy on long sweeping corners, digital is best for sharp turns thats why i like the original so much hardaly any long corners :D

analogue, definitely analogue. yep. sure. analogue. yeeeaah... negcon even. yeah. negcon..... sorry, what?
:lol:

is a negcon a type of analogue but the controller twists instead of having sticks?
I use the dual shock digital for every game except WOF, oh yeah and my rather childish Sonic Heros game becasue they force me to, what? why are you looking at me like that?
.
i find that the difference between neGcon and D-pad shows itself in the transitions, the entries and exits from corners. on long sweeping curves i usually have the D-pad held full on all the way through
hi Foxdragon, welcome to the WipeoutZone

I was sitting here reading through this topic, and suddenly I read someone's post and I was thinking, "Wow, that's precisely how I feel. How uncanny." Then I looked at the member that posted it....Me. What the?
It sort of bugged me out for a second, then I realized how old this thread is....
Sorry to digress, but it made me laugh at myself. :)
.
lol. yeah, i did that once a few months ago.
hilarious :D
.
What I find special about the neGcon is that, the twist and the d-pad being independent, it gives you precise steering and nose pointing control, something you need in order to avoid abrupt movements - the latter having a way of feeding on the momentum of your speed. ;) So yea, analogue in general is better than digital. But the neG plays in it's own league.

Although moving away from the NegCon, I did manage to track down an AirPad...those things are so sensitive!
Took me a while to find some info on that thing. What I've seen looks and sounds great and cheap (at least on eBay), but since I hardly hear anyone mention it; what's the catch?
Ben
Oh, and welcome to the forums foxdragon. :)
Well, basically it's like any other controller, but the main differance is (apart from the shape), is that if switched to analogue, it takes the place of the left thumbstick, so you have to tilt in the direction you want to go. To be honest, it's good for flight-sims, but for the WipEout series, and any other game in the racing genre, a lot of time and patience is needed to fully master this device.
Hm, I know how it works and thought it might be good for someone who gets constantly annoyed with himself because he tends to turn the whole neGcon instead of actually using the twist. Yes, that would be myself ;) and the Airpad seems a good opportunity to compensate for that. I was just wondering whether it's a quality controller or turns out impractical in practise...

whats wrong with sony anologue sticks, new ones realy are at their best for feel their firmer, older plentyful used no-grip-on-top-of-sticks are sort of soggy and wobble when released for a turning position :-?

welcome to the forums foxzero! would you per chance be a fan of starwing or f-zero?
(sorry i didnt take notice of your arrival earlier, i was busy being flippant).
infox : i think these avatars are hindering my ability to distinguish individual members, im just seeing teams and making assumptions of who it could be.
EDIT
see what i mean!? i just realised the new guy is called foxdragon (sorry foxd). maybe im just not concentrating enough... *goes to get coffee*

yuusen, you better not have hinted to infox to stop avatars :evil: :cry: :D , f zero is a cheap not off of wipeout it smells, btw drink lots of coffee tis good, but dont drink more than about 8 cups a day and then just stop, bad things happen (headaches).

presumably only the immature and incompletely literate would use a phrase such as ''..imature 5 year old neds that cant talk properly.'' if you are going to express strong opinions, you would at least give the seeming of being a valid source for opinions if you correctly spelled the words you use to express those opinions. it would also help if your sentence structures had some sort of cause and effect logic. please be both more clear and more charitable in your expressions of opinion

its english talk, and it was a joke
sorry anyway
.
i did not laugh.
your response looked like a sarcastic reply, not like a joke. be careful how you phrase things in a text-only medium. we cannot see each other's faces, nor hear the tone of each other's voices, so we lose the nuances of expression which make all the difference in how words are interpreted. things must be very clearly and explicitly stated when only the text is available. also remember that some of us surf with images switched off due to slow internet connections, so we don't see emoticons, which though they help in text interpretation, are still only weak subtitutes for the tools we use in live face-to-face talk

edit: thanks, PW, for editing your post.
what do they say then? 8)Quote:

In a desperate attempt to pull this thread back on topic: I just got an Airpad for no more than a Euro on eBay. Very nice deal. ;) And I'm very eager to see how it plays!

no its not, you just arent eloquent when armed with a keyboard.Quote:

well said foxd, i dont see why peoplecranky about little stuff like that i edited my post because lance sent me a pm about it and its gone,
G'kyl, is an airpad a controller that you have to move from side to side to make it steer?
