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

[Storm_FF]

As far as I know you can not see the flags on a SD TV, I don't think you can even see any of the track names either, but I could be wrong on that bit.

I don't remember this... I think no, but I'm not totally sure. Hey, wait a moment! Do you mean in change track screen or in lobby screen? I lobby I don't see anything (even ranks are sooooo little ), but in track selection... I must check next time
but flags disappearing is a pain in the ass! Each time I want to know where a good player comes from I've to check encounter players menù and check "spoken language"... american and british pilots looked the same at first

After all it's little my fault... who sane would play wipeout HD on a no-HD TV? Studio Liverpool, in any cases, I'm angry with you

[Woopzilla]

It's not the TV that really matters... if you select any output in the PS3 options that isn't HDMI, you won't see the flags.

Also, it's correct that you can't see any writing in the lobby screen under the icons (weapons, track, pilot assist, etc). I play most Avalons in SD to record, so I see it that way a lot.

Erm, this question is bothering me from beginning of my journey in wipeout... is there anyone else using motion sensor *(pitch and sterring) to sterr your craft?
(i've read somewhere that racing using sixaxis is almost impossible on phantom [that is wrong] )

[R3BU5ER]

I know some guys use motion sensor for pitching. Steering seems odd. I don't use any, I use a sixaxis now and I almost only play phantom. And don't use any motion sensor because I just can't sit playing wipeout phantom like some sort of statue But I think everyone prefers something else..

[mic-dk]

Motion sensor for pitch is made of win and I find that I instinctively pitches the controller anyhow in the direction I need the pitch. You know, pointing it desperately towards the floor in an attempt to not get too much air on Sebenco. My wife is very entertained at least

I'll never get used to it for steering though.

[zero3growlithe]

You don't know what you lose This is such a fun to race with it What is the best begins on phantom where racing is so smooth and challenging (i'll upload an movie made with one camera showing both, TV and hands)

[R3BU5ER]

Offcourse I've tried it, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe if I go on and change my habits I could improve some of my times. But I also tried to race with l1/l2 buttons where normally using l2/r2 but I just feel comfy with the settings I play for 1,5 years now. And I think my phantom skills are acceptable LOL. So I'm just like....fine with it post the video though. Like to see it

[Nutcase:259]

icky cant imagine actually being good with the motion, i hold the controller at like a 45 to 90 degree angle when i play racing games. feels right. but when i put pitch on and start the race i immediately spear left into the wall, im like "huh?? oh yeah thats right i hold this thing like a spaz )


Also has any one seen the wierd green an orange flag that appears by sum ppls names? (its a diagonal design with one half green fading into orange, im fairly certain its not a national flag) that an is the swiss flag orange for you or do i suffer from somesort of wipeout related colour blindness?

[icarasDragon]

That Half transitioning flag maybe because somehow you can't pick up the other player's country?

[blackwiggle]

The is one pilot here[ name escapes me atm] that does race entirely with motion control [pitch & steering], how he had the patience to master it so he could get good enough compete against fellow elite zone pilots at Phantom speed is beyond me.
Just getting the small bronze trophy was enough to realize steering with motion control wasn't for me.
Hell, I can't even use the analog sticks.

[Colonel]

That motion control trophy was a pain in the arse. I did Anulpha pass on venom, Novice AI and it took about 20 attempts!

[Jav]

Took me 3 attempts, was fun shaking the control to get some BRs

[yeldar2097]

So was it just me (and Challenger I think?) who kept the controller flat and just used airbrakes?

[SaturnReturn]

Couldn't remember the guys name but yeldar could. I was thinking subtotal. He used entirely motion control. And as yeldar reminded me, Mr.Rico, or something similar, did too. I had previously thought Mister-Mateo but knew that was wrong.

[Jav]

zero3growlithe? I think

[SaturnReturn]

It was his question we were answering.

[zero3growlithe]

It's not like that i wanted to master it If Studio Liverpool and Sony added such thing like motion sensor to control my ship then i want to use it becouse it's something new. (i like new stuff and i don't want it to go to waste)

[zero3growlithe]

Ok, movie is complete and as i promised i'm posting it
