And I have no fucking money for Wipeout HD. I have waited for nearly a decade for this (and finally get an official stat tracker to confirm my incredible awesomeness, also I'm sure I'll all of a sudden suck at the game), and now I can't afford it.

How much is Wipeout HD?  It'll probably become only the 2nd game that I've bought through console DD.

Because I'm a dirty poor, I'll probably be gamesharing Wipeout with mah buddies later.

I don't know. I PM'd duckman earlier about sharing it with him, though.

What's the easiest way to transfer music from my PC to PS3? I do have my PS3 on wifi along with my PC. Want to make some awesome custom soundtracks, including some choice cuts from past Wipeout games.
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY

Have it share through windows mediaplayer 11, on ps3 go into the share and then copy the whole folder. It's how I transferred mine.

so...after all the delays, apparently the game crashes if you've got more than 50 people on your friends list. just as well; i've got to finish ac for answer. let's hope they're more timely with a patch than fucking team ninja or whatever's left of it

Memory card. Well, that's how I do it.

Anyway, how does game sharing work anyway?

Sharing is actually kind of shady, as I understand it. You basically have to give someone your PSN account info, they log in to your account, and then download the game. If you've got your CC and address and what have you entered into the account, whoever you shared it with ALSO has that information.
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: fistfulofmetal on September 25, 2008, 08:44:40 PM
You can always remove the information then change your password when you've finished. I've already done it a bunch with a friend. Anyway he may be getting it and sharing it with me

My friend :bow2

I'm sharing with my home boy, but I was at work and forget to get his account details off him so I'm not playing it now. I'll probably go over his house and play it in person when he gets back.

WIPEOUT  :hyper :tauntaun :hyper


I've been waiting so long for this. I don't like the handling as well as XL/2097 from what I remember, but I may also just be rusty. The PSP games made it kind of hard to gauge. I'll have to wait until this weekend to really sit down with it, but first impressions are really good. I'll probably be playing this for a while.

I only know one person with a PS3, so add me people! I want friend leaderboards!

I think it's just online multiplayer.

This game is only really hard when you try to play it with the motion controls.  Like with every wipeout game, I usually do terrible for the first 10 or 20 minutes, then I remember that I have been playing it like other racing games and snap into the wipeout style of play and do fine.  The motion controls are a whole different thing -- if you can use them, I salute you.

I can't even play with analog controls, I can't even imagine how terrible I'd be with motion control.

Speaking of which, the game does let you play with d-pad, right?
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: cool breeze on September 28, 2008, 11:40:54 AM
I play with the d-pad, so there is always that option.  The game lets you go really in depth with customizing controls.  Motion controls can be set to full steering or just for tilting, you can change what button does what, you can adjust the sensitivity of the buttons for tilting or accelerate.  I think right away you would want to change the tilting from the R2/L2 buttons to the R1/L1 buttons, then make it so that accelerate to 100% takes less push than it did before  When I first played I kept wondering why I was going so slow, then I noticed that I was only going about 80% of max speed since I wasn't pressing hard enough.
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: duckman2000 on September 28, 2008, 11:46:44 AM
I'm not sure how I used to play this, but for some reason I don't remember ever using shoulder buttons for anything other than air brake. Acceleration has always been 100%; control is what you have air brakes for.

Still, would love to see a real built from the ground up Wi4eout.

I would be fine with one that played exactly like Wip3out, and featured only classic maps (and not flashy neon remakes, either). I liked Pure quite a bit, but it still never felt like it came up to the level of Wip3out. And speaking of which, I wouldn't mind seeing the speed courses from Wip3out SE make a return.

It will be interesting to see how age and recent events has affected my ability to master Wipeout.  :S
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: duckman2000 on September 28, 2008, 12:19:24 PM
Nope, no PSP. I was thinking of borrowing a PSP just for that game, though. Wip3out is still the high water mark for me, which I know clashes with the common opinion that Wipeout 2097 is where it's at. Everything just meshed with Wip3out; gameplay, presentation, visuals, it's just a thing of beauty all around. Even moreso with Wip3out SE.

Post by: tiesto on September 28, 2008, 10:41:54 PM
It's awesome, I found a memory stick over here, so I tried it out on my PS3... then went to browse what was on the stick in the XMB, saw I had a bunch of MP3s already on there, probably from when I was djing last... transferred them over to my PS3 and built a playlist.

And the songs on there fit Wipeout PERFECTLY, all this quality prog. In fact one of the songs, Guy Gerber and Shlomi Aber-Sea Of Sand, was actually in Wipeout Pulse. Now to get some :bow Sasha :bow2 on my playlist.

This game is so fucking addicting. I really liked Pure and Pulse, but the fact I don't have to play this on PSP and I can play on my plasma makes this 1000000x better. PS3 GOTY, even better than MGS4.
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: fistfulofmetal on September 28, 2008, 10:54:54 PM
It would be so much better to me if I was good at it.
Right now I'm sitting on the third batch of events and I can't get any further. I have two events left, a time trial in Metropia, and a single race in Sebenco Climb. I can't medal in either.
And I'm not even coming close either :(

A disc-based Wipeout sequel for the PS3 was announced at the same time as Wipeout HD. Nothing has been said about since that initial announcement.

I'm not a hardcore Wipeout player so I'm not speaking for them, but honestly, Wipeout HD is enough for me.
Title: Re: WIPEOUT HD TODAY
Post by: Rman on September 29, 2008, 12:20:58 AM
They announced one, but it's very unlikely they've been working on it while Wipeout HD was in development. They are probably now watching sales to see how much demand there is for it. There's no doubt that there are a lot of hardcore Wipeout fans out there, but sales have probably dropped considerably since the PS1 days.

Or they can also go the Warhawk route and just keep expanding WOHD, with new modes, tracks, etc.

Okay so is there any way for me to buy stuff off the U.S. PSN?  Any sites selling point cards and such yet?  I only have a Japanese credit card.

They can easily use this very same engine for a "real" sequel.  Or if this bombs, maybe they can port whatever tracks they may have been working on into DD content.  I mean, honestly, would you really expect the real sequel to look much better or different than this?  WipeOut's sort of had the same visual philosophy since day 1.

Could a real sequel look that much better? this looks pretty much perfect for a Wipeout game for me.

Blockbuster Video has PSN cards, I can try to pick one up for you and email you the code. We could do a swap of goods or something.

But man, PLEASE let them update it - played again - and it's no where near as good gameplay wise as Pulse.
For some reason, I actually skipped out on Pulse.  I suppose the promise of Wipeout HD and the fact that it didn't seem any more optimized than Pure pushed me to wait.  What exactly differed between them?  I've briefly played Pulse and it felt no different to me, but I obviously couldn't judge it from a demo.  It's still worth picking up on its own then?  I always thought it was simply more Pure (just new tracks).

I can't really tell the difference. The auto pilot is very strong is you race with it on-- in an online race, they need to patch in the ability to turn that off.

They definitely need to patch it to filter out auto pilot users in online modes.  Everyone uses auto pilot online.  It's kinda sad.

I threw my back out so I'm at home on the couch with a heating pad and some pain killers. Might have to play some Wipeout HD...

No problem. Hopefully they can find them! If not, Best Buy is getting them in sometime in October.

I wonder if a gift card would work too...

Zone Mode in this game has to be one of the coolest-looking things ever. I can't stop playing this game.

or some one could share it right?

i mean, is that a possibility?

if it is, i can help you out.


Yep the game is shareable even without the 24 hour lockout bullshit.

lol, why do they let you change acceleration sensitivity?

When I first turned the game on I set it to 100% and I didn't play the game that night. Ever since then I've been struggling to surpass 4th place in any race. I tried shifting it down to 10% and now I'm getting first every time. Silly.

I like that when you score gold in fast lap they just end it now, I always dreaded those in the PSP game.

The OP song to Xam'd + Zone mode is so awesome.

I was doing really good until someone came in my room and I had to pause, then as soon as I unpause I crash into the sides over and over.

Photo mode sold me.  I don't know why I go so homo over a simple little thing like that but I love taking pics in games.

Yeah I don't know if I've spent more time actually racing in PGR4 or just taking pics.  Either way, I love that game.

Financial mismanagement. I was sort of blindsided, I thought the game was for sure not going to come out this soon. The one god damned time that Sony decides that This is Now, I have to wait.

Do you have Pixeljunk Eden and The Last Guy for share? I'll share my Wipeout HD with you if you have those games.

Well the photomode kind of stinks.  There's no replays, no forwarding, no rewinding, and you have to wait for the PS3 to calculate the post processing everytime you adjust something like the DOF.  Nowhere near as intuitive as say PGR4 where everything is being done on the fly.  At least the game is fun to play.

Again, I know this is just homo stuff to be complaining about but I really do like fiddling around with this junk.
