ZONE / Zone Battle thread of vEry awEsomEnEss

Christ, good effort Yeldar! Well you've officially conquered zone now, 10 W.Rs

Detonator next?

[Wotan]

Well , as some people saw on wipeout hd videos thread , i joined problemsolver on zone 160 . So i can put some cool numbers here

Zone 160 means about :
110 laps
almost 27 minutes of playing
total distance of 549 km (341 miles)
Speed of 2004 km/h (1245 miles/h)
and 1 136 548 343 speed pads (lol don't know if this is my ps3 , but that number become bugged after zone 146-147)

and that was my best feeling ever on zone mode . zone 150 to 160 are so exciting , but problemsolver is right , u must don't have any cardiac problem , i remember i could feel clearly beatings of my heart ... disturbing

[Reezy]

Sooooooooooooooo jealous. I'll be sure to check out that video.

I played a few games of wipeout again. and damm i forgot how good it feels!
after a few games of vineta k zone mode i thought, lets try and mesure my hart rate while gaming.

i got a 66 av while just sitting. so i tryed it on and went racing. And when i was realy in the zen feeling(zone 30+-) i heard some beeps, it was the hart indicator telling me i went below 40 beets a min. After I got into the high zones my hart rate went up a little, and came to a hold around 80. i got a av hart rate that game of 70.

one othere thing, this is the only game, were i forget to breath, i realy have to manualy breath to get air, realy anoying

got to zone 79 on vk and did a perfect lap there, at that point i wanted to see how mutch hp i got, and a sec later i died from around 15 crashes.....

hapens to me alot.... i have to tell myself at high levels, dont look at the hp indicator or you lose hp. some how i always look, and always lose hp or die.... I even tryed puting something infront of my TV to block it, but that was even a bigger distraction .

Do you guys get simular effects?

[yeldar2097]

Yup, every time. Always looking everywhere but at where the ship is supposed to be going

Have you tried maybe using the W3O or the 2097 HUD choices instead of WOHD HUD? They are less intrusive and the 2097 HUD doesn't even show a number for your shield, just a random guage thing.

one othere thing, this is the only game, were i forget to breath, i realy have to manualy breath to get air, realy anoying

I mentioned this a while back, quite scary isn't it?

[ZixXer]

yes it is scary as hell.

oh yes im using a diverent hud, i think it is 2097, with the score on the left and the healt bar on the right.

the HD hud made it harder for the times i go down slopes, and that hapens in vk.

btw yeldar2097, nice beating me on that track! now I want level 100 even more XD

[Reezy]

Oh man I was so close to Talon record. I was passed the hairpin with maybe 1 shield left. If I hadn't choked on the final bend then there was alot of track left to get points before any tricky corners. Pitching up definitely helps on the tight corner.

i played ZB offline today
syncopia ZT 55 easy AI
i noticed after supersonic theme is another theme that looks almost like mach 1 theme
but it's not as dark as mach 1, so it must be mach 2 theme
@ PS; WOWO; FINISH-KILLER:
u have to go for it, plz

[Challenger #001]

I've noticed that myself. I always think it's either a revert to Zen, or in the same way that you have a black course upon starting a reverse track ZB/Zone. So it's either Sub-Sub-Venom, or Hypersonic.

[JFthebestJan]

on normal tracks there is no difference between supersonic theme and mach 2 theme

[Sausehuhn]

I though I could share this moment with you guys:

Just had a few races with the minimalistic WO3 HUD, SFX turned almost off and music volume on maximium playing Daft Punk’s TRON Legacy Soundtrack. It’s like racing a light cicle on high speeds – especially when the whole track is filled with neon stripes only. It was awesome

[JFthebestJan]

just watched TRON Legacy on thursday 27th in 3D of course.
i've had no idea how great a motion picture soundtrack could be
i bought the soundtrack direct after the movie, and i am listening to it the whole day since then. it's my new wipEout HD playlist too, zone is so amazing with it

[JFthebestJan]

new WR!
Zone Sebenco Reverse 61/36-126374 points

[Colonel]

Aah you did it! Congrats mate, great acheivement.

Not looking forward to our next Z.B there though

[yeldar2097]

Niiiice

[Reezy]

Most impressive Jan, good job!

[yeldar2097]

I like the pics. I wish I had the balls to pause on a good run and get a nice pic (ChengR grr ) but I can never bring myself to do it just in case

[Colonel]

I meant to mention something but forgot. About a week ago I was playing Zone battle online. I forget which track, I was a bit drunk, it was one of the normal HD tracks though. I boosted off the track at about zone 40 and died.

When I re-spawned the colours were those of Supersonic on the Zone tracks, the lovely gold colour. It only lasted a few seconds and I didn't get a chance to take a picture, shame because it looked awesome

Anyone else seen this?

[Challenger #001]

Slightly off the origional topics, but still interesting. I've heard a few people talking about what Mach 2 would look like, but my belief was that Mach 2 fell under the realm of Super Sonic speeds, and you wouldn't get another colour until Hyper Sonic. Given that Hyper Sonic begins after you hit Mach 5, I did a bit of maths to work out at what approximate zone level that was assuming the accelleration rate that we knew for sure.

Unfortunately for those looking for a new colour scheme, even if it does exist within the realms of Studio Liverpool to have implemented it, Hyper Sonic won't kick in until Zone 431.

Working on request. :3
