PS I got W.O.FUSION as well

[infoxicated]

I can imagine if you've been playing Fusion for the best part of two months, Wipeout 3's handling will be difficult to master.

Since I spent most of tonight playing 3SE, I can sympathise there!

Best thing to do is take it easy in the Vector or Venom classes first. Also use the up and down buttons on the d-pad, or pull back/push forward on the stick to raise or lower the pitch of your craft. Wipeout 3's handling was a bit more sophisticated than Wipeout Fusion, believe it or not, in that the ship responds quite well to where you point the nose.

For instance, if you're going round a downhil left-hander, such as the spiral in Mega Mall, you'd want to push your nose down as well as turning to the left in order to take the corner more smoothly.

I'm hardly the best at the game, though - perhaps if Al Sartwell drops in then he can elaborate further. :)

Best of luck with it - it is worth sticking at, though - it's a great game.

Thanks I will work at it especiality the way you talk about it and I will handle it! that way!.

And have fun unlocking the ships and getting all the medals.Don't get discouraged if your Auricom ship go Boom! by the third lap,cursing at the Flying Anvil,crying on Hi-Fumii,just try harder!

[JABBERJAW]

this as well as all the other wipeouts are difficult after playing fusion in that well, they are very different, but if you could ask me specific questions about a certain track I could help out--hopefully

[jmoid]

hi stindah.
i'd listen to infox's advice about tilting the nose of the ship; try pressing down on the d-pad as you go round corners as well, you'll notice the difference straught away.

[stin]

Thanks guys I will do that. That sounds a lot of work to concentrate on the corners. Anyway its takes practice!

Start with the slower class races. Try the time trials as well.

[Confusion]

Fusion's handling totally destroy's the ability to play Wipeout 3. :(
he handling is crazy!

Does anyone here find the handling of Ships in Wipeout 3 Empty? I mean with Fusion I get the impression I can feel every bit of the ship... with Wipeout 3 I can't feel a thing!

Weird...

[vh5150]

You talking about playing with a NegCon right? I find that the Dual Shock pads have no feel to them as well. Regardless if the rumble effect is lost, I still think that's the best way to operate a F-3600 to F-7200 ship.

[Confusion]

I wish they would re-release a new NegCon... one with dual shock and a few more buttons. If they released it to conincide with a new wipeout release too...

[Lance]

why wait? we could use a new negcon with a better button configuration on all current wipeouts and a lot of other games, too. besides, a new wipEout could be a long time coming.

Dude you can play your PAL discs on a modded PS2. Just gotta get the tools.
The only out of pocket cost to you are the games and cd-r's.

i don't want to mod, and in any case, there is an NTSC version coming that is reputed to be better than the PAL one.

i can wait for this better solution.

hey stindah! i've been looking for a copy of wip3out se myself. where did you buy yours? do you know any online stores that might have it?

thanks in advance.

[stin]

you can buy it in uk or europe in PAL PS1 but if you are in USA!? then can`t get them in there cos you got NTSC not PAL!.

Hopefully someone might help you whoever read this forum.

Is it wipeout or golf? tough question

PS only try to help

[turbodawgy]

Thanks for the speedy reply stindah. Yes, I live in the US, but I have a modded PS1, so I can play the imports.

[stin]

I`m glad you got the right one and hopefully you will get one soon!

PS when you got it and you will enjopy it :wink:

[JABBERJAW]

Pal imports play in black and white(with a few bizzarre colors) on ntsc televisions. You will probably need a converter or a tv that could play both. Actually to get the colors right, you will need a pal psx. My modified psx's played the games, but black and white. the converter is needed to make the screen the proper size.

[turbodawgy]

That's true, but I have an Xplorer FX Pro, and there are codes for Wip3out SE that take care of all that.

Their site is www.xploder.net (previously www.x-plorer.co.uk), and their codes are backwards compatable with gameshark and action replay, as well as having codes unique to the Xplorer / Xploder.

Another way is to copy the game, and patch the file before you burn it. Patches can be found at www.megagames.com or www.psxcopyworld.com

[turbodawgy]

I forgot to mention this, too:

A lot of the newer tv's can play the games in full color, mine works fine with my PAL Wipeout 3.

Interesting note: I also have the NTSC Wipeout 3, but the PAL version when it is patched is MUCH faster, ie, rapier seems like phantom, and phantom seems like phantom times two! (I didn't know this at the time, I bought the PAL version for the awesome vapor trails that come of the wings... not present in the NTSC version.)

The speed increase has to do with the frequency conversion. It makes the game faster, but the clock is all messed up (example: you are cruising before curly says "Go!")

[JABBERJAW]

It is sped up 15% for the difference between the two tv's. I noticed this too. It is much harder to get a good time with the patched version

[turbodawgy]

Yeah, it's great. It's like having a super phantom level... very challenging and fun! That's why my son Joey and I are trying to find a copy of Wip3out SE... we can't wait to play our favorite tracks from WipE'out" and Wipeout XL at high speed (and with analog)!

You can look here for Wipeout 3 Special Edition. That's how I got my copy. Be prepared to pay $30+ when one does pop up.

Do a search for whatever articles I posted here. I have to links you can use to help you or others to try and get a copy.

[turbodawgy]

Thanks! I'll try that!

would like to know thanxs

ps hoping to buy from scotland

[infoxicated]

I thought you'd already bagged a copy, Stin?

I used to find that the EB's in the St Enoch centre and Buchanan Galleries were great for finding obscure stuff in their pre-owned or bargain baskets. Granted I haven't been in either of them in a couple of years now, so I guess that may have changed... that and they're both probably GAME's now.

[stin]

sorry infox! yes i`ve got a full collection of wipeouts.

l was meaning for ebay in america is it safe for me buy from there because i was really interested at this one material i really want!

I do not see anything there for Wipeout 3: SE

[turbodawgy]

I'll check the site out and get back to you. If I can't find them there, I'll dig up my codes and post them.
