[MORE TEAMS COMING SOON]

Looks like a cool game. Reminds me of another racing game, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Unfortunately though, I do not own a ps3

It is an excellent game.

Favourite Team: Assegai
Favourite Track: Anulpha Pass (forward)
Favourite Pickup: Quake
Favourite Mode: Eliminator
Favourite Speed: Rapier

Favourite Team: Quirex, Piranha or Triakis. I can't choose D:
Favourite Track: Metropia (forward)
Favourite Pickup: Rockets
Favourite Mode: Eliminator
Favourite Speed: Phantom, but Flash for eliminators

Favourite song from soundtrack: Machine Gun by Noisia or Tokyo by Stanton Warriors

Favourite non-soundtrack song used ingame: The Island part I by Pendulum

Triakis is my second fave, I have maxed out loyalty on Assegai

Metropia is also an awesome track, in my top three with Anulpha Pass and Moa Therma. I just can't cope with Sebenco Climb in any direction . I used Mirage for the first time today as a ship, and boy are they ugly

Yeah, Rockets are cool, and require a bit of timing, but there is nothing like destroying a competitor with the Pulse That requires strategic thinking and precision driving.

I am so used to Flash and Rapier speeds that Phantom scares me, Eliminator at Rapier speed is excellent, if you set the max score at 600 you can do almost 50 laps of competition, though I usually do around 20-25 before the match is over. I like doing it from the front, letting my opponents hurt each other, whilst I drop mines and Bombs and occasionally turn round, wait for them to catch up and then unleash a Quake

I've not really done any online play, but have played split screen with MST and my neighbour, and pwned them epicly. My neighbour had Wipeout before I did and I don't think he has got to grips with the nuances of the game. I don't mean using weapons, I mean driving skills. He doesn't use the airbrakes for a start, which is a must if you wanna do well, and he is scared to take his finger of the x button There are just some corners that require you to slow down, especially if you are scared of airbrakes.

I use my own soundtrack btw.

I use mostly my own soundtrack, but even then it's not much of a genre change

I always use airbrakes, and I think I'm decent at driving seeming as I first played WipEout 3 on PS1 when I was 6.........I learnt quickly that on sharp corners you just CAN'T drive without airbrakes. I rarely release the accelerator, but I occasionally use both airbrakes at the same time, and I find side-shifting useful in eliminator when dodging rockets or plasma rounds.

You and me have VERY different eliminator tactics ^^ I prefer being in the middle of the field, where I can either bomb those at the back or fire ordnance at those at the front. If I get a quake, I tend to drop back, wait for the field to complete the lap, then turn around and blast all of them. It gives you more points, as you can effectively hit more ships bearing in mind the quake and the ships are moving towards each other at speed, instead of the quake having to catch the ships up. I'm almost never at the front of the pack, as I know it means I can be shot to pieces while only delivering a couple of hits with mines and bombs.


When I occasionally play Eliminator on Venom, I tend to take about 10-15 laps to reach 600 points. I CAN do it in less on Moa Therma, but it's a push

YES. There is the ship editor for Pulse, you can use it, but you can't use the ships in HD. Still, it's pretty fun to try out even though you can't use them unless you have WipEout Pulse on PSP

If you get far enough ahead, you are too far ahead to reach with any of the weapons, even if second uses a Quake on you. Especially, as I do, I hit EVERY speed pad I can. Each track also has at least one place you can put mines or a bomb and those following have no choice but to hit them. If I get quake, I get to the finishing line, turn round and wait for the pack to come near me - BOOM!

I sometimes play in the middle of the field too, I get VERY picky with my weapons then, I press O to have shields a lot in that situation and am very careful on using them. However, I think it depends on the track too, not all the tracks am I good at leading, like Sebenco, so when I play eliminator on that one, I tend to have no choice but battle from the middle (as all the opponents tend to turn round a lot, otherwise I'd be way back).

However, with my tactics, Anulpha Pass (forward) is really easy to beat, since there are two hard and fast places to lay mines and bombs

It looks a little bit like F-Zero. :O

I'm on my PS3 I'll give ya a few goes at eliminator if you're up for it

A few of us could get Fury and have a league going

I remember I used to have the really old WipeOut game for PS1. I loved that game so much, spent so long trying to get the best times on all the tracks. Are the ships and weapons still the same? I can hardly remember any of the names.

I liked the purple one, but probably because it was purple and less to do with its stats.

Boy I have to get me a PS3

Marky will know that stuff, red, I only got WipeOut last year.

Marky beat me ona an eliminator earlier today 201 - 189

Wow. Thats quite a score.

Yeah, I think alot has changed since then too, because I remember you used to just have races and that was it. There was no special rounds or anything. Plus you had to use two PS1 to play on the same TV -_-

Purple........if the colours stayed the same, it would be Qirex.


I know that 3 teams where dropped since WipEout 3, which was on PS1, but here's the team list for HD Fury:

Piranha
Triakis
Qirex
AG-Systems
Goteki-45
Harimau
Icarus
Feisar
Auricom
Mirage
EG-X
Assegai


The core weapons are the same, such as plasmas and quakes, but there have been a few that have been dropped from the PSP WipEout releases (before that I'm unsure of weaponary) such as Shuriken and Repulsor


I've been playing WipEout since I was 7 I had the demo for WipEout 3 on the PS1, which I used to play non-stop. I didn't know the teams at the time, but once I got used to them I was able to feel some nostalgia in realising I was flying the Feisar ship, and if I got on the podium, I was allowed to fly the Goteki 45 ship. Up until aged 9, I just thought they were "blue slow ship" and "cool yellow one that's fast"

Haha, yeah, I was around 9 maybe? So it was the same for me, cool yellow fast ship and slow blue ship. I remember the Piranah, Feisar, Quirex, but none of the others, but it was a while back...

The weapons were fun, do you remember any of the cheats. There was one that turned your ship into a pig or a shark and few other obvious ones like being invincible. I enjoyed the game so much I never really used them.

Do you remember Van Uber, Xios or Tigron? They are early teams that were dropped after a few games.

In HD Fury, there aren't any cheats You can get some awesome glitches though.....my friend Nick showed me a time when the barriers on Vineta K broke and his ship plummeted into the water and broke the game You get the added features of PSN though, so online is easier to play, and you can get trophies for it

I crashed through the wall on Anulpha Pass (forward) and fell down a hole that doesn't normally exist. It treated it like I had crashed off the course normally though, and I went from 1st to 6th - this was on the last lap of the race

Ahhh I hate it when that happens I once made a mad recovery on the last lap of a race. I didn't hit any speedpads, I just shot everything out of the way >

Tigron sounds vaugley familiar. The others, not at all. Pity there are no cheats, was funny to see a pig fly round the track.

Lol, glitches are the best, Ican imagine they are paticularly interesting on this game, considering the speed things have to load and what not. There were quite a few in the other games too, like braking the barrier and flying away over the track.

Aww... I really need to get a PS3, I would love to play this online. That was the only thing that didnt impress me in the old ones, was no multiplayer, but online is even more amazing.

PS3's are well worth it ^^ I play mostly MotorStorm (PS3 exclusive) and WipEout (PS3 exclusive). It doubles up as a media player aswell

Single Player Eliminator

603 points in 11 laps, with a 16:0 KD

I played motor storm when I was round my dads. Is an awesome game, liked the bikes or the rigs the best.

Congrats on the score Not entirely sure how good it is, but I bet its pretty good!
