Just out of interest, what is everyones most hated track, and why?
I have the euro version. And for me it would have to be Paris Hair from the omega pack.
I hate it so much! its so pink! argh. and all the eyes and teath everywhere. i rly dont like that track. its just odd. especialy the sounds of some woman laughing or going "Mmmmmm" and "oOooo"
In my opinion its an awful track.
That I definlately agree with ya! cos everytime I play multiplay on online with guys and I always destest Paris Hair!

I love Paris Hair, sort of for the reasons you hate it, Liquid. It`s a great, fast track design once you get the hang of it. Also when you first play it and the voices laugh at you, as you screw it up and bang the walls, is just brilliant. The whole idea is just great, I think. :D
On topic, for most hated, it`s close between Sinucit and Citta Nuova. Perhaps I`m going to express this too strongly, but Sinucit is a tawdry, tedious bore of a track with long, boring, lifeless corners and nothing to really amuse in all the drab dreariness of the whole thing. It doesn`t have single part that makes you go wOw when you get it just right. Citta Nuova is a half-thought out, poorly executed wham-bang-crash-slap of endless bottoming out and silly ups and downs that are totally out of sync with the corners. In its defense, it can have some good moments occasionally, even though it`s just a matter of the pilot overcoming the track. So on the whole I`d say Sinucit wins because it really doesn`t have any very good bits imo. :)
there isn't really any one that I dislike immensely
paris hair I like the aesthetics and the sounds, but there's something different about its corner geometry that I just can't get used to
citta nuova I will always struggle with, but I find it so satisfying to get a good clean lap on it that it nearly makes up for it
sebenco peak is probably the track I get the least enjoyment out of
Last fav for me would be ... Mandrashee : i don't enjoy much classique1 pack and Mandra could be the track i send to the dustbin ... not tricky track just no aim no envy to win on that one .
I really HATE Citta Nuova - toooo many turns!
I like loooong straight-a-ways like Mandrashee and Sagarmatha.....i don't really care for Karbonis either. :bomb
Shitta Nuova, no contest.
no, it's the best track imo :)
I personally detest a number of tracks equally:
Modesto Heights
:turd Nouva and...
that third one from the Alpha league (:redface:)
The inner city ones with nasty little chains of corners and pointless quick hills to jump off tend to be my undoing in leagues and as such I always dread these tracks.
Modesto Heights, Citta Nouva and that other one: Harbingers of Stanza :o
chenghou project? man, that's one of the coolest tracks ever! personally, I don't particularly dislike a certain track, but vineta k I find rather boring, sinucit equally so, plus it has loong sweeping turns that really kill the speed of an assegai totally. khara descent also ranks pretty low in my book.
Yea, chenghou is awsome - maybe he meant Blue Ridge:?
but Blue Ridge is EVEN MORE AWESOME!
no, that track kinda sucks ;)
it's not the track, it's the one who can't handle it ;) no, seriously, both environment-wise and technical, this track is definitely one of the best IMHO.
I used to think that about Blue Ridge, Max, but I think it`s me that sucks there, not the track unfortunately. :rolleyes: Blue Ridge has potential for crashing in disaster or unlocking the speed, like all good ones. I really think the bore tracks are in beta. Sol2 is awesome graphically, but deserves some stick in terms of track design. Much like Sinucit, it`s a dull, wallowing track through and through, always slowing you down with niggly corners instead of daring you to go fast. :)
See, there you go again:dizzy :pQuote:

I don't particuarly detest any of the tracks, to be honest. I have a minor complaint about all of them in that they are far too short for my liking, but I try not to let this get me down too much, as what is there on the whole is great. But I have to say that my least favourite track is Mandrashee in the default Classic league. It's much shorter than it was in Fusion, and the part where the track barrell rolls has been cut out. Boo, no-like! :frown:
I never noticed that....huh:?
I said that especially for you ;)Quote:

Chengou (sp?) project was what I was referring to, don't quite detest it as muc has the other two, but I could never stand racing on it, the second corner (the sharp left hander) is the ultimate ball-breaker IMHO. :brickwall
but aren't turns like this one exactly the reason we love wipEout so much? if you want straightways, go f-zero ;)
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!:pirate
didn't mean to sound cocky, sorry. just sharing MY view on the topic. I wouldn't love the wipEout tracks if they were easier, that's also why I don't like vineta k that much for example.
I know, I'm just playin' - Chill out man!!http://engr.smu.edu/~kaytaz/78.gifhttp://engr.smu.edu/~kaytaz/67.gif
Tie between Citta Nuova and Vinetta K. Vinetta K has that first set of curves that go downhill, and if you brush the wall there, you're stuck in the back in the faster classes. Citta Nuova has slalom-y bits littered all over and compounded with more strangely-angled track sections: the crazy hairpin is fun, it's all downhill from there afterwards.
I hate all omega tracks plus Karbonis and Modesto.
hate omega? why's that? I agree, paris hair and burgertown are rather boring in layout, but hey, cardcity run and 123klan are absolute killer tracks!
What's not to like about the Omega league tracks? Sure, they're short as hell just like all the other tracks, but the background scenery and trackside furniture are awesome! The tracks themselves are really good as well, especially Burgertown and Cardcity Run.
I love the Omega tracks... except for Paris Hair, which i hate alot.
*cries because he can't even experience Omega*
Why not Airrider? Not enough space on your Memory Stick, or you don't have the EU version of Pure?
That Omega pak is the weirdest freakin' thing I have ever seen!!!!:dizzy
I just saw the stevie_sparks_maxx_omega_tour.avi, the first track was kinda funny, the second looks like a cross between Katamari, Mega Race and Disney Land, the third looks like a fun house but the last is my favorite what with the track having no shoulder, lol no noobs allowed!:rock
*sniff* I don't have the EU version, and the "secret" packs are something I'm not gonna..."indulge in," if you can call it worthy for the annals of WipEout history...Quote:

I think he means level designers, as the Omega pack was devised by some of Europe's most famous modern artists.
Ah, I hate the omega pack, all of it appart from 123klan including those ships gah. Those tracks look and feel like something from a racing game for a 3 year old that belongs on the Nintendo DS :D
That style of corner (which I would love to take in any other WO,) doesn't work with pure IMO as acceleration is nigh on non-existent in even the 5/5 acceleration ships. Makes heavy pilotting in the way of W3O near enough impossible... sadly :frown:Quote:

The Omega tracks really seem to be love `em or hate `em. Personally I don`t think they could have done anything much better with those track layouts for the last DL pack. If they had dressed them up as standard tracks with tunnels and buildings it would have been more of the same. I wouldn`t want a whole game like that, but I think the track layouts are fantastic (except for the slow and fiddly 123 Klan imo) and the whole thing has a great atmosphere. :)
