Wipeout HD Competition

[Rossco]

Such a n00b am I.

[Harry]

Fury ships are allowed from now on. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just pick whatever ship you want.

Damn it, I'd hope you'd disallow them since I lost my original save with them unlocked.

Does anyone have a save file for the BCES00664 (disc version) with the ships unlocked that they could upload?

[Rossco]

I'm pretty sure they are standard mate, the unlocks are just alternative skins.

[Harry]

No, they're definitely faster. They have a new skin as well. All the fury ships are slightly faster than the standard ones. That's why everyone uses them in online. See here:

"12 New ships! Choose from 12 brand new ships with all new sleek designs and slightly tweaked faster performance!"

[Rossco]

Yeah they are faster, that's the point. But I'm saying they are standard when you start the game. You don't need to unlock them apart from paying for Fury which I believe everyone has done now as it was free with the PSN welcome back thingy, or alot of people have bought the whole package since the Fury upgrade was released so.

Basically, the fastest ships are available as soon as you start the game, you don't need to unlock them.

As far as I believe that is, correct me if I'm wrong please?

[toythatkills]

Yeah, I've no idea what's Fury and what's not, but for every team I have a choice of two ships - one being faster than the other. They're all unlocked from the start, unless there's something other than skins to unlock.

[Rossco]

Yeah, the Fury ones are the upgraded ones, with the extra red stats on the end of the speed, handling, etc bars. Basically making the original ships all obsolete, so everyone has them from the beginning so all is okay as expected.

Challenge 10
Type: Speed Lap
Speed: Phantom
Track: Talon's Junction
Deadline: 25/07/11 Midnight GMT

This is us onto the 4 of the extra Fury tracks now, I personally have never played these yet so bit of a noob at it. I think the people who don't know the difference though will have played these through their normal campaign.

Only tried 4 or 5 laps to set a rough time for people to aim for, managed first lot in the 25's then thought I'd settle for one in the 24's and give up for the night, and managed 24.99. Beat that!!!

Rossco - Harimau - 24.99

[toythatkills]

I just used the faster ships from the start, I was always curious as to what the point of the slower ships was, I had no idea why anyone would use them. It makes sense now knowing that they're just old ships!

[Harry]

Basically, the fastest ships are available as soon as you start the game, you don't need to unlock them.

As far as I believe that is, correct me if I'm wrong please?

They're locked for me. I'm using the disc version but I doubt that should make a difference.

[Rossco]

I have no idea then mate, you have got the Fury upgrade don't you? Whether it was included in the disc or downloaded seperately?

[Harry]

Yes the disc version is called WipeoutHD Fury and contains both WipeoutHD & the Fury expansion pack, but the fury ships are locked.

I haven't played any of the singleplayer on the save I'm using because I did it a long time ago on a save I've since lost.

[toythatkills]

Try doing a career race in the Fury half and see if that unlocks everything, could work.

Got 25.20 after fifteen or so laps, still quite messy though. This track is evil, that not-straight straight is a total killer. I'm pretty sure I hit every single section of wall on the entire track on my first lap.

[Rossco]

Just been doing a bit of Googling and they should be unlocked! That's the whole point of Fury, brand new ships to use from the get go. I don't know what could be the problem!?

[Rossco]

Haha, yeh I done the same, first lap was horrendous, especially since it's a new track on Phantom!
