Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

[SonicChaos]

I was worried when mine froze when playing WO a couple of times, but it seemed to be the game itself so no problems with my 80GB.

I saw this picture in an article which I presume is supposed to be a pic of Wipeout HD, but I don't recognise the track or all the ships. Is it HD at all? Perhaps it's actually Pulse PS2 or something? If it is HD, then my question will be - why the hell don't I recognize it?

looks too clean to be pulse, at least the psp pulse. the models and skins are deffinitely from hd.

if that is the ps2 pulse, its a bloody shame i cant play ps2 games on my ps3....

Looks like an early WOHD rendering of Moa Therma in the early days.

[SaturnReturn]

Ah OK. It probably is just a pre-release render. I found some images elsewhere of what Qirex originally looked like and it's quite different and it looks like the ship on the right in that picture. So I guess that explains it.

Photo taken from a similar angle of the final release Moa (click for hi-res).

[rdmx]

Yeah it's from an old version of the game, it's still got the old fashioned engine flare and the qirex looks much better (albeit more like an assegai). Think GDC2007?

i can't connect on online WOHD this morning ... do u have same ?

[Rezatron]

Yes I could not connect last night (your morning). I tried multiple internet connections so you're not alone.

[Koleax]

I couldn't either. I thought it might have been my breaking it because I was trying to load the game with less than 300 KB of free space.

I could download both the update and the ads that accompany them, however.

[Vartazian]

Same I was having troubles. Could of been the leaderboard update.

[Oracol]

Seeing as there's probably a thread somewhere in the 31 pages of HD discussion that covers it, this might be the best place to ask if it could be bumped -

What's everyone's favourite craft for driving around in HD? At the moment I like the Qirex, but it's early days yet and I could be swayed...

[Lance]

That has definitely been discussed. uh... somewhere.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I have a queston. I noticed that on SaturnReturn's videos, he has the flag of the country that each pilot is from in the lobby. How do you do that?

[Mr Phlanj]

that is when playing on a HD tv you may also notice that text above the game types dont appear on staderd aswell

[blackwiggle]

Those little flags used to appear next to the racers name during online play as well,they mysteriously disappeared about 3 weeks after HD's launch.

[KGB]

Did they?! On the same lines I never seem to be able to see the player tags on MP. Settings say they are on.

[Rezatron]

Here's a good question, why are 95% of the tracks picked online either Vineta K, Anulpha Pass or Ubermall?

[QjonPL]

They're the fastest/easiest?

[blackwiggle]

I think because they are the fairest tracks,anybody could come back from a mini disaster and still win.
Where most of the other tracks,if your leading after the 3rd lap of a 5 lap Phantom race you seem to have a higher chance of a win.
Moa Therma is a prime example of a track that once your in front,and have a clear run, it's pretty hard to lose.
