What teams would you like to appear in the next WipEout?

[swift killer]

How about matte-black+orange?

[Wip3ou7]

I'd really like a team that represents Greece. I know its a wierd thing to ask, but that's my only request.

[RJ O'Connell]

I'd think FEISAR would have Greece under it's umbrella of nations, but then again we have had Icaras, Van-Uber and Xios/EG-X emerge from EU countries. Qirex and Tigron originate in Russia, which is a European country (based on UEFA ).

It wouldn't be a bad idea, given that there's so many Greek mythology references one can pull out of their ass to name the team and base the ship's personality upon.

[mdhay]

...(based on UEFA )....

True, but that's like saying Isreal are part of europe for being in the Eurovision.(If you guys in the US can watch it)

[omega329]

I thought the zone ships in Fusion/Pure were nice looking, I'd like to see them made into a team of some sort.

offtopic, but do you think zone mode was named after this site?

[Lance]

More likely because you have to be "in the zone'' [the zen state of non-grasping but fully aware consciousness, also sometimes called wu-wei] in order to perform well.

BTW, still offtopic, I thought those guys in the Finnish entry for Eurovision a couple of years ago [?] were aliens, yet they were still considered Euro enough.

uh... topic?

Oh, yeah. I want Icaras to be one of the basic teams available from the start.

[RJ O'Connell]

^ Their style has always been too extreme for it to happen. That's why they were the last unlockable team in WO3/SE, and have always been DLC in the PSP era. If Icaras were to "soften up" a bit like Qirex has in recent installment, maybe I could see that happening.

Unless the next game had more than 8 teams from purchase and they were all available from the start, of course

[Lance]

Icaras should most definitely nOt soften. [is highly tempted to make sexual joke here, but that would be very unoriginal. ]

[Albino Ace]

Lol @ Lance.

But yea, Icaras would be too extreme, for lack of a better term, to have right from the start. At first, in Pulse, I thought a team like Piranha was too extreme! However, with only slightly higher maneuverability and thrust, and much worse shielding (statistically speaking anyway o_o) I guess Icaras is still more extreme than anything else on the market.

[JABBERJAW]

There should be a team with Al Gore's face pasted on the side of it. It should run on Cow Manure and go about 50kph. It should be the color green

[TheFrostE]

one word..."turboweevil' Al and eric know exactly what im talking about (VT) l


PS- ill settle for haironaut Jay

[swift killer]

A team that represents SPARTAAA!!!

I still think we should have the DMC DeLorean as a funny little hidden extra

One critical element of motorsport/racing which is missing from WipEout : an Italian team using the Azuri, Roso and Pink (the Giro D'Italia colour).

Also, I would personally like to see a German team as a tribute to the inventors of techno = KRAFTWERK.

[KIGO1987]

Just talking about that on another thread "what happened to Van Uber?" a few weeks ago. Van Uber was a Germany team. Also on that thread where tallkng about an Italian team also, as well as using the Nurgrenburg ring as a track. Actually talkng about the DMC DeLorean 12, that car has gone back into repoduction this year. I would get one if, one was avaliable as RHD and if they put a proper engine in that vehicle, maybe a forced induced Flat6 engine since the car is already in a RR configuration, that OHV V6 in that car is acient tech.

[AG-wolf]

Turboweevil ftw XD


But seriously, I want to see Qirex return to their roots. Brutally strong and fast ships, aggressive racing dynamic and vicious looking twin-barrel ship design. I know they've kept the catamaran ship since XL, but it looked like a piece of garbage in Pure, and in Pulse it looks more like the flying trashcan Goteki from WO3 (SOMEone called Goteki the flying trashcan up in Vermont, I forget who ). They can still have terrible handling, but as long as the game engine itself is competent, it doesn't matter (I fly Qirex just fine in XL, 64, and 3, but in Pulse they're awful... I found myself using EGX actually)

[RJ O'Connell]

^ As long as the ships of Triakis fit that description to a tee, Qirex will still be the middleweight of the Wipeout teams.

The developers wanted to achieve total balance between all 12 teams in Pulse and HD. It stands to reason that if "Wipeout PS3", as Wikipedia calls it, is anything like HD or Pulse, you can expect more of the same.

[GalacticSpartan]

Hmm...I don`t know on this XD let me think here.

AG-Systems: Well it`s been here for a while and they won a champion chip in Pure, so ya :3 love to see the Japanese team again.

Assegai: Well this team is improving since Pure, so sure, why not?

Auricom: You cannot have Wipeout with this American team, but it sucks to have it now downloadable in Pulse it`s not right.

EG-X: Hmm...EG.R and Xios together? That`s cool. :3 Needs to make improvements on the turning and shields however.

Feisar: I will cry if they don`t have Feisar in the game . It`s been around in every game along with Auricom.

Goteki 45: hmm...It`s good to see it back in Pulse..I don`t know on this team XD;

Harimau: New team from Pure. I wanna see it more D: it`s really good in Pure.

Icaras: I would wanna see it again playable instead of a downloadable team need freaken wireless to get those pack which I don`t have..

Mirage: Never seen it in action so I don`t know :/ .

Piranha: This is a team I would love to see again :3 due to it`s fast speed.

Qirex: Another of my favorite teams :3 but I was sad when it didd`nt come in Fusion along with AG-S. I wanna see more of this Russian team in other games.

Triakis: I like this team ^^ Super shields with super speed. Sure, why not?

Tigron: **** no D: The thing looked like a giant battering ram and it sucked.

G-Tech Systems: Nope, dun wanna see the team again. The ship didd`nt look like a WipEout ship.

Van-Uber: I wanna see this team again ^^ not bad in Fusion, but it sucked with the shields.

So yeah XD those are my choices

[cybrpnk]

AG-5Y5 definitely...speed, acceleration and handling over shield power anyday...

[RJ O'Connell]

I don't see how they could add more teams without getting rid of teams to do so. And Wipeout Fusion ensured that wasn't going to happen ever for as long as the series is developed.

[swift killer]

Well, if you think about it, it's abit like F1 with the strong legendary teams being permanant while others come and go.

feisar, auricom, qirex and ag sys = ferrari, mclaren, williams & honda (which is essentially what use to be the Tyrrell team before it was bought out by BAR), that said, i cant see williams lasting any longer, even though they have two VERY good drivers.

[RJ O'Connell]

If longevity was correlated to success, FEISAR would have shut down their racing team way before XL! Thank goodness the bureaucracy still cares.

Plus, Ferrari, the only team that has run every season, has only been around about 60 years. FEISAR has run about 130 seasons consecutively.

Maybe the future economy does improve so much that multiple teams can stick around for over a century.
