INTRODUCTIONS - New pilots start here

[betta852]

Hello everyone! I'm Matt.
I'm new to Wipeout in general, though I have had experience with the Wipeout Pulse demo on PSP. I thought it was fun, but I regrettably did not buy it. As soon as HD/Fury became free on PSN, I snapped it up. I love it so far. I'm on the 3rd set of levels on the HD campaign and I'm starting to dip my toes in online play. I'm still a noob, but i consider myself a smart noob for visiting and learning from this forum. Now for my questions :

I use Icaras and Feisar for my mains. I experiment with Piranha and Assegai (though I'm not too serious.) Any recommendations for other noobships?

My two favorite tracks are Moa Therma and Chengou Project (!). It took my awhile to get Chengou, but I cracked it and own at it. Now I'm having issues with Senenco Climb. I watched Hellfire's awesome tutorial, and I'm just starting to get it, though more tips would be nice. Thanks!

welcome to the zone! as for ships go with what feels nice to you, general warning though eg-x fury is a tough one.
Personally I'm a harimau fury pilot but it's all about taste really.

Anyway sebenco can be a tough one yes especially on phantom it's all about practice. Keep it up and good luck!

If you go online, don't be deterred by losing. All pilots take time to develop, even then some (like myself) still only run mid pack. There are a ton of great racers, most of which are on this forum.

Try all the ships, including their fury alts. They all handle different and it can take time to truly fine the one that fits your style.

Side Shift, learn it, love it, cherish it. XD

[mic-dk]

Side Shift and pitch down are our friends on Sebenco. At least on Phantom, you'll have more than enough speed to get enough air on every bump to do a BR. Pitch down to avoid excessive air and stay glued to the track.

I too like Moa Therma, or at least the reverse edition. The mag-strip is boring, but the corners just flows and when you get it right it gives you a great sensation of speed. Almost as good as Metropia

Edit: Oh, and welcome to the Zone

[amplificated]

Nobody has linked to this yet?

As for the ships, I wouldn't worry about it. Just stick with something you feel comfortable with, as there really isn't that big of a difference unless you're playing in speed lap. Even then, the Icaras is only typically superior by a small margin, and until you're sufficiently good at the game that margin will be negligible.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Welcome!
Noob ships...try AG-Systems.Assegai,maybe later,because the Shield stat is 7. I stick to FEISAR because I specialise in Handling. Either that or I mainly use ships that have extremes in one stat.
Wow. The HD thread is now the Intro thread. Need there be something done to ensure that the introductions end up in the right place?

[BrutalizedStigma]

I played the first Wipeout back in the day on PS1, and got out of gaming for about 10+ years. Picked up a PS3 in 2007, and bought Wipeout HD the first day it was released on PSN.

It is amazing that a game that has been out for for nearly four years has still held my attention.

I started a new PSN account and have been playing this game a lot lately. Just turned off the assists and am re-discovering this game all over again. I love it.

Just wish that more people gave this game a chance. Seems like I am the only person on Friend List that plays it. I am so happy to find this website.

I just started to play Wipeout HD again, maybe some of you remember me as LaiN-85. Hope to meet some nice people to play with!

What's up man? I remember playing you the last few nights. Good games, good times.

[Colonel]

Welcome to the Zone dude. And don't worry, you'll see your friends list change quite quickly if you stick around

[zantetsuken]

Hi there, been playing this game since the first release as Sputnik303, and the moved on to another account, zantetcamsuken. I think I may be the only person that bought the game on disc too, before the plus giveaway. Hope to see you all on the track sometime! xD

[D_1998_BR]

Hey everybody! I'm D_1998_BR and I'm not so new on the WipEout series...
Started playing WipEout 64 (i was just a kid,i don't remember which track or which ship i used to play with).
Bought a PS2 and got WipEout Pulse for it,but still didn't complete,as time advances i got a PS3 and got WipEout HD from the Welcome Back package

As ever,WipEout HD really got into me,for now I'm the best brazilian player in the game (I think,since I don't know a brazilian player that beats me...for now...rodex10 is quite close to,but he screws up a bit on some tracks and gives me 2 more secs gap most of the times.).

Level 33,Master III and rising,used to have all HD skins and half of the Fury skins,but my WipEout data went corrupted and i lost everything...

Started just like everyone,a wall-riding noob,but learned quite fast (thanks to JFthebestJan and P_Denton) the game's tricks and tips.I Transcended before getting Data Corrupted,so now i'm a level 5 in the PSN.

That's all you have to know from me for now.Feel free to add me on PSN: D_1998_BR

~D~

EDIT: Level 37,Elite II for now.

[Myth384]

Sure took some time to get verified, a whole week actually.
Anyways, I've been a fan of series ever since I've played, yep all two of them. Pure has been my first WO game and I thoroughly enjoy it, up until the AI left me in the dust, and after the whole PSN fiasco I got HD for free and I haven't regretted my decision since.

As for teams, the two that I usually stick with is AG Systems and Harimau if things start getting rough with the elite AI, and as for my piloting skills, well let's just say I'm an okay competitor, I can get perfect laps here and there but I think my greatest weakness is that I rarely use barrel rolls since the AI tends to bombard me after it and I almost never use sideshifts since if I do it will throw off my handling and get me a bit disoriented.

Well that's about it when it comes to WO, so I hope I'll enjoy my stay even though it's kind of dead in here.

[Omniseed]

Myth, it took me less than 12 hours, guess the admins or mods just like me better!

I started out playing Wipeout 64, played the life out of it really, and then played Fusion when I found it. Didn't have as much time with Fusion.

I just found out about Wipeout HD less than a month ago, and I was stoked, I had feared that the series was dead. I've been playing as Auricom mostly, Assegai here and there. I ran an eliminator race with Feisar because I used to rock with it on 64, they're so slow and have decent shields, so you can sit right behind the pack and hammer them. I was surprised because the HD Feisar doesn't suck like it used to.

It's still slower than most, but it isn't so crushingly weak in the speed department.

Anyway I'm still getting my anti-gravity racing legs back, honestly I'm still using pilot assist, thinking I'll probably get the feel of the tracks and ships much faster if I turn it off.

I've got the same name on PSN, if anyone wants to add me, do it up!

[FEISAR_ARCH]

Pilots, Racers, and Team Managers, alike, I am Arch, short for Archibald. I was cast into the year 2116 with my friends due to a freak accident with my singularity generator. It was at the time of the F7200 Racing League pre-season. Where the owner of the FEISAR team, Vincent De Blanc, was in jeopardy of retaining the team's standings. The league committee, was threatening to pull the plug on FEISAR, so I decided to pitch in, and race for them. Currently, I'm undergoing simulated training and practice. I can't wait to pull the team out of the hole!

And, that's my fursona, I was Role-Playing as. I'm Nicholas Manuel, and I'm the author of Total Wip3out, an interactive fanfiction. Aside from that, I'm also a freelance composer. I'm thinking about making my own music for the race footage I capture. I use Music Creator 6, not as good as FL Studio, but it was all I could afford.

The raw footage has some imperfections, but that's what Vegas Pro is for, cropping and adding music to my game footage.

By the way, my copy of Wip3out died on me a long time ago. So, I'm using an ISO of Wip3out Special Edition I downloaded.

I hope you welcome me with open arms.

[Ghegs]

Oh wow, I first registered here over 10 years ago and the account still works.

Well, it's been about that long since I've played a Wipeout game, so it might be prudent to re-introduce myself. I love arcade-style racing games and I've especially been playing Ridge Racer Turbo with the neGcon. I've been focusing on time attacking (in fact, I have a forum dedicated to arcade-style racing games and time attacking them, I would love to see you people there, but I don't want to spam) the few tracks in the game, and I'm so in love with the neGcon I thought I should try the controller with the series the controller is so closely associated with. So I went and ordered WipeOut XL, which should be arriving shortly. I hope that's a good place to start, I'm not that interested in racing against the AI, time attacking is where it's at for me.

[fab0810]

Hi all pilotes. I forgot to introduce myself when I registered on wipeout zone.I rectify the matter.
I'm a fan of wipeout since wipe3out on ps1, the game had me stuck squarely, too fast, too good, too technical and too fast!
I have the virus since: wipeout 2097 (well but I prefer 3) Wipeout Fusion (nice circuits but special steering ) and wipeout hdfury (the top but less beautiful circuits).
Historically I ride with assegai, now with ag-system or yellow gotecki'45 for photos!
is the chance that has done me community wipeout find on the net (I was looking for a way to lifting the last trophy bling brigad ).
I'm glad to have found wipeout wipeout zone and arena, I believed to be alone, my friends have never hooked to the concept of wipeout, I do not understand them elsewhere!
I play quite often at this time in order to get better and beat the best but it is not that, I sometimes feel like reaching my limits!
Here, otherwise I love music (rock, metal, punk), travel, sports, nature, party, and many more!
and of course racing at high speed without gravity!
See you soon

Hello Wipeout fanatics

As a kid, i would always play wipeout 2097 and loved it. Unfortunately, that was the only wipeout game that i had until i got wipeout HD in the welcome pack. I fell in love with wipeout all over again, and bought every single wipeout game. From the first wipeout to 2048. I play them all as much as i can. My most favourite titles are Wipeout 3 SE, Pure, and HD/Fury.

Anyway, I'm most probably best at playing HD/Fury. I have beaten half of both HD and Fury campaigns on elite difficulty, have yet to finish them You could say that my skill level is just a bit higher than the elite AI, because im finding it a bit easier to beat them just recently.

On HD, im struggeling a bit with the tracks sebenco climb reverse and chengou project reverse.

So i dont think im a that of a good pilot compared to all of you on here, but im sure with practice i could become better By the way i am only 14 years of age.

Hi and welcome to the board, you will enjoy this website.

[bobbybadfoot]

Hey, all! New HD/Fury pilot here. I'm really fresh to the online races.

HD/Fury was my introduction to the series, thanks to the psn blackout in spring 2011. The trophies on this game looked challenging, so I dove in. I'm still hunting, lol.. only missing "Bling Brigade" to go platinum!

I'm glad to see such a lively community around here! I've mainly been racing in the Flash and Rapier classes, Eliminator and Single Race types. So if any of those are your bag, send me an add! PSN ID: boblovesmaryann

[Hadronix]

New but not so new.

I wanted to get involved with Wipeout Again after a 4 year absense and I am hoping for forgiveness after being banned before.

I would like to point out I was 12 when I got banned and now I am nearly 17 and I have changed a lot in many ways

You may have known me as M1zw1z / DjM1zw1z. But im hoping to start again..

[Cipher]

Everybody deserves a second chance imo, especially if so many years are involved
