Welcome to the forums, Trackripper, and to Wipeout HD!

Let me say that it is no strange thing that you are finding it a harder time on HD than on Pure. They are as different as night and day. I remember migrating over to WOHD and one night thought I would play myself some Pure. I never crashed and banged into so many walls in my life.

Take your time getting adjusted. Do the campaigns and most importantly the trophy requirements, they will sculpt you into an Ace.

Again, Welcome!

Welcome to new folk.

FYI - I just merged several new member intro threads into one as I'd like to keep them all on one place as much as possible, so that's why this one doesn't make so much sense and there are a couple of double posts that aren't actually double posts.

More info in the first post of this thread.

Hi! I got this game free which to me made up for the month + outage. Thought I'd join up and learn the ins and out.

One issue i have with the game is on the speed laps where you use the boost into a new lap to get the best time - seems a little odd as you have to have do one slow lap then one fast one.

Also, does anyone else think the zone battles are really easy compared to the rest of the events?

But on the whole this is a great game, really need to sort out my cornering though.

Hi there 4tonmantis and JT! Welcome to the zone

4tonmantis - I agree, the AI aren't very good at Zone Battle. Get online though and there are some terrifying players. I reckon it's my favourite mode online as luck plays a smaller part, so you rarely feel hard done by. Well that and Weapons Off races anyway.

JT - If you're using the default control settings, hold L1. It'll invalidate the current lap and give you your turbo back. Saves wasting a lap.

Welcome to the site

[Colonel]

Well I never knew that! Cheers Hellfire

[Medusa]

me neither. Could've cut the Zico laps in half!!!

Welcome to the zone Geist, 4tonmantis and JT. Enjoy the place.

I did not know that.

Someone should make an FAQ or a video about this sort of thing!
