Whomever designed the Sebenco Climb track can DIE BLIND IN HELL. 
Any speed above Flash on that track and I'm bouncing around like... something really bouncy. Can't wait for the Zone version of that track... ugh.
Also wish the dividing line between the medals on time trial events was a little more forgiving... I'm still on the 5th out of 8th campaign modes and I'm stuck b/c I can't get above bronze on some of these time trials...

Yes, Sebenco Climb is my most hated level. I can NEVER get round the final corner without slamming into the walls. Going from rapier clas up = hell.
and you're also right about the line between medal classes. They're bloody tight. Which makes the game uber challenging. Which in itself, I actually welcome
it's funny ... we've had rigeracer, DMC, R&C, even MGS on ps3 already ... but playing wipEout HD has only FINALY given me that "Playstation" feeling again...
weird eh?
loving this game.
hope more DLC comes re ships and skins .. but make it so you still have to earn them even if you buy it. after COD4 every online game should have this kinda progression system. and more race types .... eliminator would be cool

I missed this before:
Unfortunately, the only camera I've got access to right now only records at 15fps so it loses a lot of the sense of speed: Metropia, Phantom Class
I was thinking about it last night actually I think PSN would be ideal for the next Ridge Racer, rather than a retail release.
I think arcade games like this would probably do much better as downloadable titles rather than being put out on Blu-Ray at full price.
It starts off fairly slowwhich is a good thingand then speeds up quite a bit. I'm now on the Phantom class (4th speed) and it's getting pretty crazy.speedpop said:

Probably because Ridge Racer 7 is basically an upgraded port of 6 from the 360.sun-drop said:

Unlocked the XL HUD. I prefer the HD HUD, however. It fits the the overall aesthetic better.

Yeah. While I like the 2097 and WIP3OUT versions, I use the HD one because it displays more track information.biggkidd32 said:

Yeah I tried it once just to check it out, and thought it was awful. It's like you're not playing the game anymore.

I prefer the 2097 HUD since it's much easier to see what's going on in a quick glance, it does clash with the look of the game though I'll agree with that (but I do hate the HD HUD so much). The Wip3out HUD though I find is a happy medium between the two, easy to read while not being obtrusive.biggkidd32 said:

why is they're so few people playing online? I see maybe 15 games max any time I check. Unless I'm doing something wrong here.

What do you guys use for controls?
I tried motion handling and pitch at first. Then I moved to analog, with motion pitch. Then Straight analog. Now I'm on D-pad with cockpit view and I seem to do much better.
I haven't played a wipeout since psx and back then I had problems grasping the controls.

how long does it take the online leaderboards to update? i got 6th in time trial for sebenco climb in flash but it hasn't updated

The Gamespot review made no sense at all. Didn't they take into account that this is a 20 dollar game with tons of content, visual and aural presentation surpassing most retail games, and tons of fun as well?
biggkidd32 said:
THe HD hUD is the only one that:
a) displays music track name
b) displays ZONE tracks.
I think I'm going to go back to it very soon.

control wise, I just finished a 2-3 hour play session and I just swapped out fire for L1 + (circle?) for absorb. Took a few too many races to adjust but I kept telling myself to stick with it as I'd been playing WOHD for days now. I think this setup is better because your finger never leaves the accelerate button.
Also changed the sensitivity of the accelerate button down (?) and changed the air brakes to about 55%. Now the ship responds to the brakes a lot better. I was trying to get gold in one of the time trials and this setup allowed me to do it.
* can someone care to comment on the accelerate sensitivity? I'm not sure if that's a good adjustment. The air brake adjustment is good once you get used to how much more sensitive and quick to trigger in effect it is.
SOL races = assholes CPU attacking you like mad, either that or constantly bumping into you as the turn/tracks are narrow.
Wow so addictive, especially when you're just trying for that gold medal, just 1 more lap! Also some of the shortcuts from boost jumping is crazy! Fly way over the track
Game freezes for me whenever i'm on PSN and try to open up a race, i think this is how it is for quite a few others as well.
Probably because I'm new at Wipeout, I find Analog SOOO much better than the d-pad. You can really control how tight you want to turn, also I use close view so I can see where the boost, weapons, and enemies are better (racing games I usually use cockpit view but this is like car combat/racer)

I tried to dl one of the psp demos off the store. It doesn't work for some reason.
I have Wipeout PSOne on my ps3 but it's so dated it's hard to play.

i woke up determined to get my revenge against the people living upstairs (moving...actually dragging all their furniture around and vacuumin their house at 6 o clock on sunday mornings...EVERY WEEK) and i cranked the surround volume up to 0 (it's typically -40.0, anything higher than that and walls start trembling) while playing wipeout HD.
Holy shit, pure trip, that was a mystic experience.
(but i have a small complaint about the track design; it should involve a greater juxtaposition of smaller trackside elements and HUGE structures in the distance to boost the sense of scale and speed, most tracks are beautiful - i really hate sebenco climb though - but not as spectacular as i would have hoped, probably in the proper next gen sequel, which i'm hoping will be developed at some point)

That's a shame. If you get a hold of either Pulse/Pure then you'll find theyre both a good indication of what youll find in HD - minus the visuals of cousre, though they are solid.
TBH if you have played any Wipeouts in the past then you know what to expect (unless you played Fusion which isnt as good).
Ashhong said:
Yeah man I can only get ~33 seconds, but I did shave 3 seconds off my previous best. The trick is to test out optimal points to use the speed boost. If you want some inspiration, try the Sebenco Climb speed lap and when you figure the best point in that to use the speed boost (crest of the biggest hill = MASSIVE air) then you might be insane enough to think of a good spot to try boosts for the Zico time. At least I hope that insanity helps me out :lol
Dizzan said:
Which version of the demo are you getting? PAL PSN store or American version? IIRC there used to be a website www.yourpsp.com (or .au at the end) which did have a version of the Pure demo available. Maybe its still around?

Did one of the most epic online battles yesterday. I raced against some Americans who where quite enthusiastic. Suddenly one decided that Shenghou in reverse was a good track to race on. At that time it was my most hated track. After we started, two of us (both with Icaras ships) went into the lead and kept changing positions. Just before the finish I scraped a wall and the he was able to take the lead at a ships length. I was already chuckling because my latest pickup was a speedboost. Coming out of the last corner with the finish in sight I let my secret weapon rip..... only to see that my opponent did the same at exactly the same time! I shouted, he shouted! It was the most gratifying second place I ever finished in.:lol

I have to agree, I've seen so many bad examples of slow lobby (looking at you Motorstorm).
And if you select quit from the menu it instantly does what you want, no crappy "Are you sure" dialog with Yes/No and No as the default button. Why do some developers assume we don't know what we want? Sometimes it's like they think it's better they make decisions for us.
RandomVince said:
Yer the PAL store. Psp can only be linked to one ps3 I think. I downloaded it but the file size was like 50kb?
I deleted and tried again to no avail. By the impressions so far though, it seems like it takes a great deal of time to master anyway. I don't really have the time for it.
I'll try that site. Thanks.

I tried to find a demo, didn't, and after reading some positive impressions, got this anyway (no Wipeout game has really impressed me since #2, though they've mostly been good). Then I noticed I had two downloads: the game and an unlock key. Why is there an unlock key if there's no demo? Maybe I missed it somehow, or maybe it's on the way...

In the corner after the long bumpy part with the speedpads going diagonally, you can use the boost to get air. Use this air to do a barrel roll. I haven't beaten Zicos time btw.
