Thread: New Wipeout Track Idea - NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE

  1. #1

    Question New Wipeout Track Idea - NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE

    Ok - this might sound a bit crazy, but then again, it might not.

    What about having a copy of the Nurburgring Nordschleife track in Wipeout? Not saying its a good idea neccessarily, however, the ring is the ultimate road course is it not? I think it would be novel (and complimentary) to have it in the ultimate AG racing environment....

    just a thought....

    No, its still a great idea. Prob take the SL crew til 2020 do get all the rendering of NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE in 1080p. But that track rocks in Gran Turismo, excellent flow in that track, tests the skills of any driver to the max. Prob walking distance to Problemsolvers house i reckon. A track like this would be awesome, im one for it.

    The Nordschleife is ALways something I want to see in a racing game. One of the few disappointments I found in the original F355 Challenge was that it included only the current version of the F1 Ring.

    If it weren't for the "kudos" system, I might like PGR, but that ruins it for me.

    ive been on the nordshleife and holy **** yeah that would make an awesome WO track. it is one of the most complex racetracks in the world. racing that on phantom must be totally mindlowing.
    other games with this is gran turismo 4 for the ps2 and forza2 on th 360 both are really good games IMO and this track is my favourite on both, its extremely unforgiving and a hard track on all aspects.

    I was the same at the start regarding the Kudos system - didnt like it. After playing it for a while, I started to love it.

    Once I started playing Time Attack - its a whole different game No kudos in there, just racing skill. With multiple downloaded ghosts, its incredible

    After playing for a couple of months I did think every racing game ever released after PGR4 would be rubbish, as it didn't have the Kudos system.

    In PGR4, the fun factor, sense of speed, weather, ghosts & replays are second to none

    Nothing has better race replays than the GT Series tbh.

    Obviously youve never played PGR 4

    Replays with multiple ghosts (both local to your machine, and downloaded from the internet) - I cant remember GT doing that

    Also, I cant remember being able to upload and vote on replays in GT

    ive been on Forza's and Gran Turismo 4's versions of the NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE. Graphically maybe the box's ones are better. But the Gran Turismo 4's one has far far far way more attention to detail, you noticed the pitch and the camber as well as the mirco bumps in the track layout and corners on the GT4 version compared to Forza's. Full credit to Polyphony Digital for there efforts, and there attention to detail is amazing, still waiting on a Bathurst recreation in Gran Turismo that track has that many Laguna Seca Corksrew turns it becomes a rollercoaster rider.

    Back to the NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE, who here has actually taken a car on this track in real life? Problemsolver, im sure you have Might explan your zone 125 skills.

    @GTP_Rorschach : I think thats a great idea - well, having a track where a single lap would take over 5 minutes to complete would rock

    The track would be huge though right enough. Still, it would rock

    I hope SL find a way to do something like this. PS4 maybe?

    If the Green Hell is going to be in a Wipeout game then it better be a "Super" Nordschliefe that takes 6-7 minutes to complete a lap in Phantom class. Otherwise it wouldn't have nearly as much appeal.
