Sure, I agree with this. I use OFW and fully manually control (no jaytech).Originally Posted by Darkdrium777
My point is that there are lots of folks that use CFW or would prefer to use jaytech-- these folks aren't contributing to our record tables and as a result, there is very little activity. Have y'all looked at the Pulse tables recently? They are RIDICULOUSLY undersubscribed-- only a handful of active participants.
What can be done to change this? Personally, I would prefer that WOZ accommodate jaytech (with split tables or whatever) IF it increased participation in Pure/Pulse.
Let's look at this from the perspective of a busy gamer. There are five speed classes and three game modes on bunches of tracks-- about 60 between Pure and Pulse.
That equals 5 x 3 x 60 records to be entered... that's 900 total records... probably 6-8 HOURS of time to enter those records. Who the **** has time to do this ONCE, much less multiple times due to changes in firmware or improvement of racing lines? Heck, I play Pure/Pulse daily and I don't bother keeping track of anything except lap times.
Of course, there this nothing wrong with Wipeout games keeping track of many statistics, and of course folks are free to decide what they want to focus on.
My point is simply that the community *might* be better served by focusing on a smaller number of record types (speed classes, race modes, etc.) because it would thus be easier to generate good times and upload these in WOZ record table.
Apologies if I am stepping on any toes or whatever in writing these posts. I just would like to see time trial competition improve for the Wipeout games so that we can match that existing for other major racing franchises (F-zero, MK, GT) and am wondering out loud how this could happen
