Favorite team...

[infoxicated]

They are exactly that - immersive simulations - matrix style

[TearsToShreds]

My favorite team is a toss between Pirahnna and Quirex, two completely different ships, I know. Reasons:
Pirahnna: Great steering, nice speed and good looks. The low shield is not really a point for me, as I never hit walls, and I take my pit stop when needed :wink:

Quirex: Great speed, great thrust, and it has just always been my favorite ship, because it just looks awesome.

[Shea@Auricom]

Piranha is beautiful... it is, but AG systems - not that fast though...but God, does it look good

[flying_saucer]

hard to decide they all have bad and good points but some just are good to fly with

like assegai is very good but its shield is like thin as a wire.

pirhana has excellent handling and its speed is not to fast to fly out of a corner. (newbies excluded :wink: )

feisar is very fine in phantom
and goteki is also good with shield

icaras is like crap handling but i can still manage it with airbreaks

Qirex [RD] is like a bro of icaris only less speed and 1 more shield to make it a little bit more handable

auricom is like a standard craft is has all 3 i think.

AG-S(ystems) is quite good but i dont like its handling. ( i dont know why but i dont fly good with them) (well not that good)

I've always flown AG-5Y5 but I've tried and tested the others for the fun of it. Only exception was in Fusion where I was stuck with the ghastly looking EG-R craft :S

As for Pure tracks though, any chance of Qoron IV??? I notice there wasn't a fave track thread for 64.

[Janos]

Feisar rocks. I always loved it. I know that it's not the fastest ship, but this just makes the race more exciting IMHO.

[Jittery-Joe]

Piranha, no competition, with Qirex coming a nostalgic Second.

[ace-of-spades]

AG, or Piranha. In Vector class Assegai, i tend to find that on longer races it tends to blow up more... I usually come out ok with the Feisar although it can be a bit of a battle. And then the Auricom, and the Quirex, which take alot of effort but can be rewarding.

Overall the AG though.

Wipeout: Feisar (1)
Wipeout 3: Assegai
Wipeout Fusion: EG.r
Wipeout Pure: Piranha/Icaras

Sadley, haven't touched Wipeout XL yet. I bought it once, but only ended getting ripped off when it didn't actually come in the mail, and I was waiting and hoping for that months on end!!! Pisses me off!!!

[ace-of-spades]

I wouldnt worry too much, its not as much of a challenge as the original Wipeout, and is outclassed by Wipeout 3. In my opinion, the worst of the series on the PS.

[eLhabib]

wipEout2097/XL worst of the PS1 era??? well, it might not be as tough as the first one, but it sure is more refined, and a lot more varied in track design. Also, for a lot of fans, 2097/XL is the one that defines the style they think of when someone mentions wipEout.

don't get me wrong, if in your opinion 2097/XL is the 'worst' of the series on PS1, that's fine, everyone has their own taste. I just don't think that 'worst' is a valid word in this context. To me, the first 3 entries in the series are pretty much equal, with the original winning in the atmosphere department, 2097/XL winning in style and gameplay, and 3 winning in challenging difficulty.

[ace-of-spades]

Yeah, i can accept that, i couldnt think of a way to say "least best" without making it over complex. Im not saying its bad. Its just that the original wipeout is so hard is such a challenge, and Wipeout is just a bigger game, with more stuff in it, leaving 2097 as a kind of middle child. It is just personal opinion i guess.

[eLhabib]

well in terms of content, 2097/XL is a LOT richer: more speed classes, more ships, more tracks, more challenges, more weapons etc. etc. ...

[lordpenguin]

2097 has much less of these annoying track splits! Sampa run and Stanza inter are hard.

[Asayyeah]

it's been a loooong time i ve heard someone feeling Wipeout XL/2097 the ' least best ' of the series...
As Martin said :' everyone has their own taste'
And you know my taste Huh Martin ?

[Lance]

GASP! Sacrilege!

[Loves XL]

[ace-of-spades]

Well, maybe i need to give it more time. And i mean that Wipeout 3 is a bigger game than 2097, dont think i was concentrating when i typed that, haha!

[daminmancejin]

i love the piranha in Wipeout3

[Zerow]

Feisar all the way for me.

Assegai is my second favourite, and AG Systems a very close third.

[andy]

Assegai by far. Fast and manouverable. I only play on phantom and Assegai is the most rewarding craft. A bad shield doesn't really matter if you don't hit any walls. Really comes into it's own on tracks like stanza inter and 90degree turns on manor top.
