dwarf Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Just to warn you, if you found the amount of attempts to beat Visari painfully annoying, this is similar to Zico. I'm feeling this, just got the trophy Air Braker for completing 50 zones using air brakes only. Going to go for 75. This is gonna be hard. Edited June 13, 2009 by dwarf
dwarf Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 OK after playing through the campaign on elite again (almost up to where I was before the data shat itself) it's fair to say that I can't bloody wait for this to come out, especially because I'm getting an HDTV for my room soon. The game is just awesome, I know it's not revolutionary - the clue is in the title - but it has it's own perks and looks & plays incredible. Bending round corners, boosting, absorbing, missiling, barrel rolling all seamlessly and is just so rewarding when you string it all together in order to win. It goes in my favourite games ever list, something which Motorstorm hasn't quite done (more speed please) and I only hope the expansion can offer up even more awesomeness. To think the game retailed at £11.99 is unbelievable, if this were a Wii game it'd be worth £50 in value terms. Plus you get to play our own music i.e. Beautiful Day - U2. Om nom nom nom nom!

dwarf Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah but I'm not going to buy it. From the trailer it looked like they've added 3 new tracks, and then slapped on some different effects for existing tracks. I can live without that pack tbh. Motorstorm would be so much better if the boost had more of a kick, as it is you are constantly overheating and it just feels to slow and awkward - like you're going to get overtaken because of how slow you turn a corner and how little the boost affects your speed when you start driving again. Wipeout updte looks like a must have. Pretty much another whole game on top. I hope they add a campaign mode for the new tracks.

To think, I almost didnt get wipeout cos I sucked so bad at wipeout 3..
Choze Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 Just to warn you, if you found the amount of attempts to beat Visari painfully annoying, this is similar to Zico. Zico is in another league. You can check the amount of people who done Zico and its not pretty.
dwarf Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Zico is in another league. You can check the amount of people who done Zico and its not pretty. Really? I'm glad I got it then, it's hard but I'm sure there's a fair amount of people that have got it because it just takes practise. If I manage to finish of the campaign on elite I WILL get platinum. There are other annoying trophies like that arcade perfect one though. Edit: I've only got 4 elite gold medals to get for the golf trophy! WOOP! It's not actually been as hard as I thought it would be, I've passed a few of the levels in the last set within the first 2 tries, and my time trials have been far from perfect yet they have bagged me top 200 places globally.

If it had come this week, could have been playing it on my day off. Ah well may just book another day off then.
LegoMan1031 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Excellent news. I'm pretty shit at Wipeout but i do enjoy playing it so this will be a buy for me!
Choze Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 £6 is like iphone app prices lol. good value.
dwarf Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) I have the platinum! YAY! Edited July 19, 2009 by dwarf
Cookyman Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 In preparation for Fury - Widpeout HD's latest patch is up 109mb.
Deathjam Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Yup, im ready and waiting to get this. Gonna plow some real time into Wipeout when I finish Bioshock. Nearly there.
dwarf Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 The patch hasn't really made the menus that much better, there's still slowdown on multiple d-pad presses. Oh well I guess I just want Fury to come out now.
Cookyman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Has the store updated yet!!!!!???? :'( it has now! £7.99 for fury
The Lillster Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Got it! Can't be arsed to write a mini review, but I will say it's very good so far.
Cookyman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Got it! Can't be arsed to write a mini review, but I will say it's very good so far. I cant be arsed either but it's damn good!
Ryan Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I cant be arsed either but it's damn good! Tried joining one of your games but you were 2 rounds into a 12 round tournament.
Deathjam Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Had an awesome tournie with Cookyman yesterday. Was soooo thrilling, my hands were still shaking afterwards. Cooky nearly destroyed me on several occasions, I think the fourth was the closest I came to dying but managed to survive and get a boost pad just before the finish line to win it and the tournie, with the game telling me my energy was 'at critical levels'. Some of those races were toooo close for my nerves to handle. Must do it again today!
LegoMan1031 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Only played this a very little bit last night (as in 1 race) due to playing Shatter but i love what they have done with the menu! The new red/black theme looks cool as well. I like the look of the new modes that have been added also, i cant really say much about it yet but from what i have seen it looks brill!
