Wipeout HD Competition

[toythatkills]

I'll join in from the next round, since I've got this free! I'm rubbish at it but it doesn't matter, I'm too far behind in the leaderboard to be competitive anyway

Whens the new challenge going up Dude? Now I have free time I'm eager for some more. I actually really enjoyed eliminator so would like another one in a few rounds. Perhaps another zone?

Sorry guys, I've got email subscribtion on this thread and didn't get any for all this recent discussion so was thinking it had died a death!

I'll get another one set up tomorrow.

[SH4R4KU]

Good stuff :-)

[koopatroopa90]

Haha glad to have caught up after round 3 and 5 - the pressure is on!!

Eliminator was my favourite challenge type back on Wipeout 64 and didn't expect to enjoy it as much on HD as there are less weapons but it was great actually.

Hopefully we will get more people joining but even with just the 4 (well, now 5) of us this has really made me fall in love with Wipeout HD all over again - it's nice to have a reason to play (other than racing against the computer) especially with the "I'll just have one more go" factor the game has!!

[Rossco]

Yeah it makes it a bit more fun to play to beat someone elses score rather than just playing it to play it.

Anyone got any perferences for track or challenge type for this round? I'm trying to think of something different again to keep it interesting.

[koopatroopa90]

I guess that leaves zone battle (which might be best left for a couple of rounds time as I assume it'll be similar to eliminator) and "Detonator", which having just played I think is a case of how many mines you can blow up in a zone type round?

[Rossco]

Detonator it is!!

Challenge 7

Highest Score Wins

Had a few shots not really knowing what was going on and got 78,775 score. I'll wait for more people to post a score so I know what I'm aiming for!

[koopatroopa90]

Just got 136,575 on my first go. Again, not 100% sure if that is good or not?!? Quite a hard track to do it on, much harder than Moa Thurma which is the one I had a go at the other day...

151,650 now without trying too hard, so unless you've missed off the one I think you need another go Rossco

Okay, 203,335 and it's time for bed.

[Rossco]

Haha as I said, I had a very quick shot before so clearly I need to go back and improve dramatically!

[koopatroopa90]

257850 is now my current best. Quite like this mode - it's the skill of zone with an extra distraction.

[Rossco]

Showoff!

I'll try another day. Going for some real story driven gaming tonight for the first time in a while. Uncharted 2 here I come.

[toythatkills]

Well I've had about five goes and managed 30,000

It did take three goes before I realised you could shoot, though. I am bad at WipEout!

[koopatroopa90]

No one else had a pop yet? TTK Shirley you can improve on 30k!?!

You guys realise that L1 releases an EMP that you power by collecting the pickups right?

[SH4R4KU]

Had a few pops

Started to enjoy it a bit more towards the end of the session... I just can't get into it as much as pure Zone or a time trial as having to reload all the time whilst shooting and flying rather fast is somewhat of an unwelcome distraction and the shooting is an annoying sound.

However, it's good to keep changing it up.

First go was 74,000-odd. Improved my strategy and 326,900 is my best so far, and probably all I have time for!
