WipEout Fury Official Release Date!!!

[Darkdrium777]

Ha, no more boost select boost it is.
I'm checking right now for that Sebenco thing we talked about Paul, then it's off to Zone mode.

EDIT: Okay, the Sebenco one is still there :'( Please fix it, it's not fair if I can beat Wotan this easily.

Just had my first online race with the new patch. This is what happened :

Raced one other guy on Chenghou P. fwd, and he was sitting at the mouth of the tunnel the entire race, and he won!
I then quit to the lobby, but I was still hosting apparently, and when I tried joining my own race my PS3 froze...
And this was the FIRST time I played with the patch. So, basically - three errors in the first five minutes of the new patch...

[silverfoxy]

Loving the stats, some of mine are hilarious.

Not sure about the online menus, a lot were saying the race were 0 laps. Just joined a friend instead and had no probs so far in races.

Seen a new badge as well - most accurate. Sure there are lots more as well.

They haven't fixed the AP zone scores tho. Poor.

[okam]

I can't even DL the patch - stuck on 0% for a few minutes then a generic error message... 3 times now. Hopefully just launch issues, will try again later this evening. Very curious about the stats screen (and also how to get the stats related trophy...).

EDIT: They removed BSB on some tracks? If so, why some and not all...
EDIT2: Yay it's downloading! 1% in and 120 minutes left!... and no background download... waaaaa....

Seems this update did more harm than good. Just going to the online lobby I saw multiple bugs.

Picture I took for reference

Haven't tried joining a game yet, but from what people are saying I might hold off until it's fixed.

[OBH]

Oh dear. Doesnt sound good.

If theyve taken away boost / select / boost what will they do about times?? Cant leave the ones already there that used it, and just let no-one use it from now on surely......

What extra stats are you guys talking about?

[breadhead]

So far I have tried two speed lap sessions and each time I have tried to end session my PS3 has just frozen

Barrel Rolls seemed to be very easy to do though, could just be wishful thinking!

[okam]

Ouch, that screen looks a right mess... maybe I should cancel the patch, and/or prepare for a patching of the patch ^^ That can't be right.

[micky1984]

iv had to game freezes so far one during the race and one just after when it was saving to early to tell if its patch related but ill keep u posted

[NeilSmith]

My initial thoughts and discoveries with the patch;

1. Stats - Exactly what we've been asking for, I love them! Some stats are a bit hard to distinguish from as their color code is hard to compare. The "Photos Took" stats must be bugged, I have only taken 7-8 photos, yet my stats tell me I have taken over 800 photos. And last, the stats for each individual track should have the track names underneath their icons\logos.

2. Community Feature - Great stuff, easy to access plus nice to be able to see what people are playing\doing.

3. Speed Lap reset - Since the select button is now mapped to the "Community Feature" you have to press and hold L1 for 2-3 seconds for the Lap to reset and gain a new turbo. However, since there is a slight delay before you get a new turbo the tactics for using the old Boost Select Boost function has lost some of it's function. I believe some of the records that were done pre-2.00patch is now impossible to do any longer. I believe either a records-cleanup or wipe is the only fair option. Or atleast have some way of distinguishing between which method was used to aquire the score\record.

4. Barrell Rolls - Seems to be easier to do now. More testing is required.

5. Game Lobby - Great changes to the system. Easier to see which races are in progress and which races are open. I experienced a crash when browsing to the bottom of the lobby but apart from that everything looks dandy fine.

So far so good, Studio Liverpool seems to be doing us all a huge favour in delivering all the stuff we have been wishing\requesting for I'll update the post with more stuff in the next 2 days

[Darkdrium777]

Paul I must ask a personal favor: delete my 21.24 time with Icaras on Sebenco Reverse, if/when it shows up. Thanks. (I inadvertently saved, sorry guys )

Thanks for telling the reset boost Neil

I've had one freeze as it was loading up the badge section and I was chatting with Luxoflux. Other than that, no real troubles yet.

[Nunalho]

According to the stats i have taken 16589 photos...

Lol.

Also i dont understand how can i have only 52 or so races... i ve played for 74hrs.

Noticed they ve changed the pick up icons for when you use 2097 or W3 Hud, good job!

Overall great update, good work.

That issue was caused by some people still playing the game since before the update went live. If they quit the game and install the patch this will go away. In short, in a few hours no one will see this again.

Thanks,

Paul.

Unless I am doing something wrong: ZONE GLITCH IS FIXED!
I am using your method ProblemSolver, the one you explained to me in PM, and it deals damage when you do what you must do for the glitch, 1 time out of 2 times. I haven't tried the one from the video that was posted on the internet, as that seemed pretty random... Hopefully everything is fixed.

[micky1984]

barrel roles are deffinetly better also im not sure if it is because i havnt played in a while but phantom kinda seems faster to me or this could be a side effect of the controls being more responsive.

[BARTgai]

Thanks for clearing that up Paul!

[Paul Tweedle]

Hi everyone,

I can confirm the following fixes and / or improvements;

The Anulpha Pass Zone "glitch" is, indeed, fixed. The tables will be sorted out at some point after the release of Fury. Basically as soon as we can.

The barrel roll code has been reworked so they should now be more consistent (some of you have noticed this already). Perhaps we'll see some new records?

The problem causing what you guys call "Vista pads" has been fixed so these shouldn't happen anymore.

As mentioned in a previous post - the people who had problems logging in should now be fine (this was fixed a few weeks ago server side).

We have improved the online game list a lot so you can now see, at a glance, which games are in progress and even how far through they are.

I think that's the lot but I have a list at work (I'm at home now - that's how dedicated I am ) so I'll double check it tomorrow in case I've missed some off.

Hope you're all super happy with the update and I hope you all buy Fury on Thursday!

See you on the track,

Paul.

[Rapier Racer]

The only disaster so far was when I went straight into an online game not realizing that this patch had reset my control setup, theres me hammering for a sideshift on Sol 2 Reverse and getting nothing but look back!! Disaster I say!!

Vista pads gone? Excellent!

[NeilSmith]

Thanks for the update\list of changes Paul. It's is very satisfacting to know all the stuff has been fixed. Hopefully ProblemSolver will stop bitching now

[Darkdrium777]

See you on the track

Speaking of which, any chance you can play online yourself?
