It's cool to have several ways of playing wipeout. Searching for nice trajectories without br, searching for nice trajectories with br. I like also sideshifting, it another move available to create his own way of racing. What i don't understand is that people are blaming br because it makes the TT and sl less interesting. So, they play for breaking records and not for fun. There was a big disagreement about "jay's mod" on psp. Some were saying it was cheating. Ok, and now with HD, no unfair "speed mod" or cfw. So, br are the new excuse ?
It would be great to just play the way I want to with out BRs but aside from wanting to put down great lap times you can't get past many later events with anything higher than a bronze medal unless you do use them, and that is a single player, so essentially the game FORCES you to use them. I don't hate them, I just think they are pointless as the game is challenging and interesting enough with out them. I always took wipeout as the more series futuristic racer, the mature one, the one that could almost be called a simulator of future racing...but BRs almost kill that with their cheesy top gun super swirl in the air look.

Anyways, wipeout games always were very competitive on the leader boards...that is nothing new. It adds more life to them..other wise what else are you gonna do after about 10 hours of gameplay? play for nothing? I play to beat the records once I finish the single player.
