Dear Tony Buckley,

Can you please make this game a little easier?

I think it’s a great game, but it’s way too difficult. I can only play the first 3 levels. Higher levels are unreachable for me.
This is a bit frustrating and i’d like to see the rest of the game.

Please add a ‘very easy’ AI option, so it’s possible for me to win some races.

Thank you!

Sounds like a great update is on the way and I’ll be buying it, as long as its not too pricey!!??
I did fid the game a bit too hardcore for me, couldn’t get many trophies at all, then moved onto another game.
So this will give me a good reason to get back into Wipeout HD!

Big WipEout fan here. Bought my original ps1 just for the 1st WipEout. Glad to see more tracks coming, and the ones listed are all good! Amphiseum is perfect for eliminator. Would like to see some Wip3out tracks remastered in future (think i saw Talons Reach on the list). Also would like to see the race customisation options available for offline racebox too. Keep up the good work guys!

Like #99.

The game is hard, but thats the charm of the game and im also a pretty average player to, but i have manage to get nearly all the gold medals on elite on the tracks/events i have played so far.
I think i only need to play 10 “tracks/events” to finish the game.

But when i play online i get my ass kicked, so….

I think you guys you are complaining about Wipeout HD being too hard are missing the point, and as for changing controls to allow easy speed boosts that would be unfair to the people who could do the original trophies.

The idea of trophy is that it is something to acheive and not every person should be able to get every trophy in every game – what would be the point or sense of reward in that?

I like that Wipeout HD trophies are hard because it means that I go back to it, if it were too easy I would have never played it again. Whereas with this I sometime turn on my PS3 and think “let me try Zone Zeus or beat Zico again”.

I am a pretty average gamer and I at least managed to get Campaign legend and a few of the tricky trophies, and while the remainder are very hard I know they are not impossible, so I try again.

I guess it comes down to whether you are a gamer who likes a challenge or not.

Anyway thanks Studio L’pool, can’t wait

Actually, now that I think about it… The problem isn’t that barrel rolls are in the game. The problem is that you have to do a barrel roll to get a speed boost. A solution for this could be to turn off the barrel roll boost and add a button to boost (and drain energy) instead. That would allow the show-off’s to carry on as usual (but without the boost). Oh well, enough moaning from me!

At post 81. I’m not certain, but I believe you can adjust the sensitivity of the air brakes & accelerator in the menus. I think 100% means very sensitive so you have to press the button down harder.

I also just wanted to make one more point about my last post (96) and trophies. If barrel rolls were removed, the barrel roll trophies could simply be adjusted to ‘boosts’ instead of ‘barrel rolls’ (still a nice & easy one to get)!

Barrel rolls are a nice idea, but I personally think they don’t work reliably enough. Many times I’ve pressed the d-pad combo correctly but just been a few pixels too low to pull off a full 360 degree roll. I think replacing barrel rolls with Wip3out style boost could be just what the game needs to ease up on the frustration factor for many gamers.

Thanks.

This pack looks good but Wipeout HD is unfortunately too difficult for a lot of gamers and that’s put a lot of people off.

The sad thing is, it’s not actually the racing or tracks that are too difficult – it’s trying to pull off the barrel rolls in all the right places. Failure to do so often means a crash and no gold / silver / bronze medal (or trophies)!

I’m voicing my own opinion here, but I would like to suggest that Studio Liverpool should look at removing barrel rolls from the game in such a way as to make the game faster (improved lap times) and also make the medals and trophies more attainable. My suggestion to make this possible would be to add a ‘boost’ button which drains ship energy – similar to Wip3out. Time trials could ensure 5 boosts or so – to cover where barrel rolls would normally be required. Finally Zico may then be beatable…? As far as I can see that’s the only way to improve current lap times and revert to old school anti-G Wipeout racing. I hope you’re listening Studio Liverpool!

Thanks!

I LOVE WIPEOUT!!!
Thank you guys so much for putting so much effort into the original and the expansion. This is my favourite ps3 game so far, i love the custom soundtrack as well, I wish other games would use this as well.

Still battling away at the trophies lol

@ Comment#90:

Why have Fury if you can have Subsonic?XD

Seriously SL, you have done a brilliant job with WipEout. I’ve been playing it since I was three, and have loved every minute of it. If I could, I’d buy you guys some beer.;)

It is not released yet, but I believe it is coming on noisia’s own label ‘Vision’ (yeah that spells noisia upside down), I suspect on their album which drops later this year.
