Hey, has anyone noticed this: The Modesto Heights starting grid, that pointy thingy above the track, it says 2197 on the bottom like in the Pure Vineta K... thought it was 2207 now 0_o

2197 is the start of the FX-300, or WipEout PurE. Modesto Heights is a track from WipEout PurE. It is probably the inauguration date.

@jasmin yea it's Phantom, must have already done it. Also their is a way to cheat the CPU by using split screen.

Recently I was in a race (offline) and I was in first, and as I came around for lap 2, I saw a bomb in the distance, which then exploded itself before I could get to it. Definitely wasnt set off by a ship, so maybe when the race leader comes toward them, they disappear (spectacularly!).

It coul'dve just been a bug though if no one else has experienced this.

they are only timed I've run into a fe left by players lagging behind but they seem to stay around for about... 20-25 seconds like someone undoubtably said.

[Farside]

you got to win on phantom speed only elite seting..

Since my post, I kept going through on Rapier and, believe it or not, I got the trophy racing it on Rapier. The trophy is borked.
I think this only applies to the reverse tracks though.
I've since gone through on Phantom anyway just to make it honest but the trophy is definitely screwed up.

[SonicChaos]

well that's not good, still......*rushes to finish it before an update fixes it*

Anyone tried this?
In Detonator, just after you clear Stage 14, pause and go to Photo mode, then go back and unpause: The camera won't stick at the start line like it usually does, it'll follow the ship through the dark! You can see the EMP pads, a little bit of the sound waves on the billboards and that's about it. But it's cool to look at... just did it on Anulpha Pass

Useless question: why Icaras Fury (FX450, perhaps?) AG ship doesn't have an hull made of futuristic composite materials like the others, but rather of the plastic-looking alloy used for hulls of HD ships.

Short R&D budgets, perhaps?

Not sure if this mock-up of a potential disc-format Fury has been posted yet:

(Yes, that logo at the bottom is a bit of mockery!)

[Lance]

Nice! I'd love to see that product on sale.

[ProblemSolver]

Nice fake. That would be the worst cover ever.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Love the State Farm Insurance logo...LOL.

[SonicChaos]

Indeed. that was a nice touch.

On time trails. Is it best to use the turbo straight away at the start on the first lap to get to max speed and save time.

[lunar]

I don`t think so. On a lot of tracks you really need to save your turbo for a shortcut where you can save a lot of time, or there are more beneficial places where you can get speed with the turbo in a slow section or reduce airtime. In a Triakis, though, which takes 3 laps to reach full speed, you could have a point

Does anybody know if something is being done with the records not updating? It's getting quite annoying not being able to distinguish between an on-line race and a single race.

[yeldar2097]

don't know anything about that...hope so...

is anyone else getting MASSIVE bouts of what seems to be 30FPS slowdown action? I know there has been some slowdown in places since fury but today on several occasions i went for at leat 1/2 a lap with the most juddery gameplay i've ever experienced in WOHD. it's quite good fun actually but i was a bit surprised at the time...

[djKyoto]

Not such a question, but some my records are now updating now (ie. no double syncing issues).

[yeldar2097]

woohoo! good news there

[xtriko]

oh... so i'm not the only one whos having problems with the records table... lol it doesnt update my new records :S it sucks

[KGB]
