Ugly menus... =)

[miufs]

I have W30 for a long long time and i surely love this game but i always thought the menus were very ugly, grey and unnatractive! lol

It just ocurred to me now as i was playing W3O.

Cheers!

I totally agree. They're horrible to look at, the font is hard to read and they don't function well.

The menu designs of 2097 and 64 are much better.

I agree, the menus are horrible, that's why i spend as little time as possible in the menus.

I agree about the grey colour being ugly BUT THAT'S ALL!

I loved the entire menu setup and that font is what really made the game pull people into the future. Could you really imagine it with a blase 20th century font that got used on every other video game out there???

The menu should tie in with the entire game, and I think out of the playstation releases, WO3 is the only one that had a totally unified design scheme. XL had the great sound effects in the menu but it was still far too 20th century with the font.

(Time to go have my coffee. And stop ranting about a text style. )

I loved the minimalism, but the font should have been bigger so it's more readable on the decidedly non HD televisions the game was made for. [OT-I love the game, and it felt futuristic despite the 20th century concept of a suburban-office-park-of-the-future.]

I like the font but I don't see why they decided on a mix of brown and grey for the menus. It would've easily worked with brighter colours.

[Sausehuhn]

because it represents the style of the game?
Industrial? Dirty?
I think it fits pretty well

[Lance]

WO3 seems very clean to me, except Stanza Inter is a bit grey grime. But I liked the neutrals of the menu.

The game was made for HD TVs Lance?
I didnt even knew that PS1 could output in HD...
Guess i´ll try this game on my HD tv that will arrive next week then.

''the ... non HD televisions the game was made for.''

Nope, no HDTV for the original PS.

[miufs]

Ups, my bad!
Sorry Lance!

[exarkann]

let me tell you though, on an hd screen with component outputs and texture smoothing turned on(using the ps2), the game looks great for it's age.

i love the minimal design.

i think the menu scheme matches the track colours in the intro sequence.Y'know? when the '45 starts tilting? The track strips are black and grey,after all?

[PIRANHA MASTER]

I agree with mdhay.And I like the menu.

I LOVE the menu and colors, or lack there of, they used. Something about it just screams cool I even modeled my myspace layout after it. Click me to see.

Nice! I really like the Angryman, from which my name was inspired!

[KevInCal]

If only the font was a tad bit bigger...

[Infected]

For me the best menus was on Wipeout 2097 but after that is Wip3out i really like this minimalistic design its simple and user friendly

Menus? As long as the game itself is good... I'm sure you would all love Fusion if it had had the prettiest menus in the world right?

[Asayyeah]
