In which event you did Just Passing Through ? I fear that one will be a pain the ass to get.

Syncopia set to maximum amount of zones set on elite difficulty. Got it first try.

I never zone boosted. Just absorb whenever you bout to pass through a wall and try not to miss the pads.

I used elite difficulty cuz i figured ai would use more boosts thus leaving more walls. No idea if its true but meh you are not trying to win. The trophy unlocks immediately so elite difficulty is not a problem.

I just got this...

It's a really well made remaster, too bad the avatars are kinda shit. I really hoped to have something nicely crafted exclusively with this game.

I didn't knew that it could be done on racebox. Thanks.

I'm down for some GAF action.

Just need to see a day and a good time for almost everyone. I'm in Brazil so my timezone is UTC -03:00. I can play most weekends and at night.

Greenymac is my PSN ID. Please anyone add me at anytime I'm pretty much looking to do rapier and Phantom races and A or A+ on 2048. I need more practice on the 2048 maps and the HD ones I know, but need to brush up on more, especially reverse tracks.

Can the OP be updated with everyone's PSN ID ?

Mine is Seph_luis_br.

I'm almost finishing Fury campaign and that will be enough of wipeout for me today, but I am up for some races tomorrow.

Man, tried using the Sol trick posted earlier to get to level 50 in 2048. After 20 minutes I figured I'd at least gain a level.

Well, I was 43 before the speed lap and afterwards the needle barely moved after all that xp. Might leave the game on overnight to get it lol
 
Okay, who was it?

Who bought me WipEout? I just got a copy of Farpoint from someone on here, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't them. A copy showed up in the mail from Amazon, and the game is no longer on my wishlist.

Even if you wish to remain anonymous, thanks <3

Did you do all A+challenges ? I was on 43 and jumped to 47, I think, when I was done with them. They are hard, but also give plenty of XP the first time you finish them

The Sol trick is useful if you are not playing, however, if you have the patience it's better to use the last 4 boost sequence in Sol and then throw your ship to the right. You will be respawned just before the 4 boost sequence.

Aww, that was very sweet of someone, somewhere! Been meaning to do a giveaway with this game actually.

Agreed, and share the sentiment. I've reached out to dreamcastfan because they offered the game to someone too. Just wish I knew who it was, be it friend/family or a fellow GAF / twitter bud. They have many thanks coming their way.

Ok! List of PSN IDs added to the Multiplayer section in the OP, I'll update it with the IDs of everyone who's interested
 
Goddamn it! I was just elated because I won every single race in the 8-race Speed Freak tournament on Elite and thought I would get the trophy, but no, it ONLY counts if it's a racebox tournament -_- fml

Remember you can do it on Skilled. And you get to choose all the easy tracks you want ;)

So if you don't want sebenco or chenghou you don't need to play them.
 
I wanted to make a few comparison shots between Wipeout Pulse on PSP, HD/Fury on Vita and HD/Fury on Ps4 Pro.
But I can't find my mini USB cable to get the screenshot from the PSP onto my Laptop -.-
I haven't used one of those in years...
 
Has anyone else had problems selecting ships when playing online?

Several times I have selected a ship and then when the race starts I'm in a completely different ship.
 
We should have a GAF lobby someday

I was actually thinking about having a PS4 GAF community for this since the servers can be hit or miss, I'd just feel weird if I was the one to make it since this is my first WipeOut and I probably suck compared to some of you guys lol

How do you check your play time on this?

I see some folks posting fairly accurate play times, where are they getting this from?

Go to the options menu, then statistics. It tracks a lot of your play style, including game time.Most of the data is from HD/Fury, so I wonder if they include stats for 2048

I just got all the elite AI gold medals in HD.
Now only Fury is left and I dread that. I hate all the weird combat events.

Same here. I never got Fury before and, well, I really really don't like it. I guess part of it is that I've always treated Wipeout as a racer with some combat, but this combat focused thing just bores me.

I rushed through most of it today.
The difficulty is off in my opinion.
I don't think I ever needed a second try to get a gold medal on elite AI.
At least for all the racing, time trials, zone and eliminator events.

The detonator and zone battle events however are a pain in the ass. Much harder than the rest. Which is why I completed everything in Fury except for the detonator and zone battle events...

The eliminator events definitely seem easier than I remember than in PS3 Fury. I wondered if they re-balanced it?

Anyway, got all the online trophies.been trying to get the kill two opponents in one race one. Been frustratingly harder than I expected.

Zone battles were a pain in a few of them. I found Detonator really easy on Elite, apart from one on Syncopia 12 late on.

I regularly hit the point goal (250-350) while the second place was still well below 100 points. No real challenge, just time consuming. Sometimes I just waited in a spot for the pack to come around again...
In 2048 those combat events were much better balanced.

I will see. I only played one detonator event and two or three zone battles so far. But one of those zone battles I had to restart numerous times.

The only problem I have with this game, and it's a very minor one, is that when you finish an event and you have to press X to continue, it doesn't seem to register the first time. Does anyone else get this?

That mostly applies to 2048. Takes a while to load. Yea it sucks.

For HD/Fury it seems much faster.

Just 2048 for the slow Race Complete button response here too.

Finally got round to doing the final WipEout HD Elite Tournament, no thanks to the vicious AI!

I've noticed it a lot with 2048, also. It takes about 4 to 5 seconds after the prompt appears on the screen before the game accepts the input. Maybe the next patch will address it.
 
I had forgotten that the Fury campaign had so many Zone Battle/ Detonator events, now I'm wishing I hadn't saved it for last. Oh well, been an absolute blast going through the 2048 and HAD campaigns so far.

I did the same thing, working my way through the Fury events now. I don't mind it as much as some others but I do wish I'd decided to do both HD and Fury at the same time rather than one after the other. HD's campaign can get tiring too, running the same eight tracks over and over in different speed classes/event types; mixing the two would've helped both.

An aside: is it just me or do the detonator medals not make any sense? It feels like 99% of the time, if you've lasted long enough to get a bronze, you're going to get the gold a few seconds later. Or maybe that's just the early detonator events, I dunno.

Man the Zone Battles in Fury are killing me. They feel so random and I still cant find out what the best tactic is.

It's better to save up until you get around max boost instead of constantly burning it on extra barriers. Then don't make any mistakes and have good luck.

btw, what the hell happened to the material for the gold medals? on PS3 they looked metallic and shiny, in this they look like plastic. it's like the forgot to use a reflection box with it or something.
