korodera...i hate you

[TheFrostE]

my god does any one else hate the length and boost placements of this track, ive been playing all day and recorded all my TT runs with feisar, 2 hours of this course and i cant get anything good enough to record, im talking an average of 1:00 per lap. not good enough for me!

[mdhay]

I hate Silverstream, Neutral on all the others, but I love Terramax

[stin]

Yes, that track is brutal but I love it. Just search on YouTube from ASA or Lunar which are your best bet.

stevie:)

Korodera is hard, but perfectly designed and the most satisfying to conquer, for me, but you have to respect it at all times! imo it`s the toughest track in the original game. Although I think the toughest corner in the whole original game is the last left turn on Altima, followed closely by the Terramax tunnel of doom. Looking forward to the rest of the videos FrostE :) And there are going to be some brutal F3600 battles at the NA Championship for sure.

Edit: Saw the video, nice Korodera racing too! If that`s the PSN version it`s different to the one we have in Euroland. I suppose yours is based on NTSC version and ours on PAL, which makes sense I guess. You can tell by the shape of the weapon icons which are elliptical on NTSC and circular on PAL.

If in future they can revamp a track from WipEout that shall be Korodera my choice, that track is awesome when you ve found the right flow with it.
At Al's place , the competition will be surely intense ... 1 month to go, keep practising TheFrostE!!

[blixabargeld]

agree with Asa:but maybe it is still missing just because of the lenght, thing that would make it the "black sheep" of the wipeout tracks..
Here (wo1) this track is perfect imo, really fast and challenging. Best russian track, also over the amazing vohl square run.. :)

Korodera...I love you :P:g!!!!!

[nick98]

I feel your pain, bro. Korodera has got everything you need in order to intimidate you: impossible track design, dark setting, many corners and the home stage of QIREX!!! this stage is just painful! top it with the fact that I suck hard at WipEout, and there, I said it, it's a real NIGHTMARE of a circuit for me!

[Terramax]

...but I love Terramax

Thank you ;)

Korodera is one of my favs actually. There's a few corners I found a way of cutting across that helped me skim a few seconds. When I first owned Wipeout on the Saturn all those years back, this was the course that I just couldn't complete for the longest time on championship, yet it was one of those rare gaming moments I enjoyed overcoming it.

This track was the reason i almost demolished a negcon tonight, something that hasnt happened in many years. To add insult, i started getting pissed at the cocky guy with the bowtie in his mouth every couple billboards in the beginning of the race, wanting to punch him in the mouth.

[vincoof]

Be gentle with negcons, it's more difficult every year to get one. If you keep on hurting them, I'll make a foundation to protect them because they're very close to extinction. True story.

[Terramax]

I currently own 7 negcons. 6 brand new, never used, and 1 that I've only used a few times. I'm actually selling them on ebay if you're interested? In other words, I think I'm fine for a while at least :)

[JABBERJAW]

I broke 1 negcon 1 time, andit was already not working anyway, but then i used the parts for modifications. Im pretty sure i have over 20 negcons, and at least 8 new ones, but i always look for good deals. You should post a link. Anyway, trying to beat the korrodera record tonight, the track has beaten me for long enough :)

[vincoof]

Did you know that you sound like psychos ? Or passionate players. Don't know which one is worse, though.

(j/k ofc) I know which one is worse

100% positive feedback from 416 ebayers ? Gratz dude.

[Terramax]

Heh, thanks dude. Never had any problems with ebay or Amazon over the years.

[Boorargh]

I recently started playing WipEout the other day and I kept getting stuck on Korodera on Championship mode D: Admittedly I am rather out of practice but god this track is hard, it seems like it's gonna take some time to master it. Though from what I saw the next 2 tracks are even harder .__.;

[Terramax]

No, I think Korodera was the hardest, along with Silverstream (and the secret course).

[Boorargh]

Oh well that's sort of a relief :P I did try silverstream earlier and I thought it was harder than Korodera ^^;

I thought the elliptical weapon icons was just a messed up aspect ratio. But yes, the PSN version [that I downloaded] is the American Version. I know because I have it, and it is missing half of the songs Ami Nakajima mentioned.

I might be the weirdo here because I love Korodera, it's never really bothered me too much. As long as I push the nose down before the jump on Rapier class I'm usually fine. I suppose that corner with the double speedpad on the outside screws me over now and then. Silverstream wasn't too hard either because I knew about the left routes . But I have a bloody vendetta against Firestar. Mostly I get to it with 1st place on every track in the tournament and usually finish 4th and all my efforts in the previous tracks are fruitless. It's that first bit.taking he first right had more speed pads but they love shoving me into the wall on exit. I would love it if there was a clear line into the next corner, but there isn't. Then the right route is too slow and I fall behind.

Terramax isn't too bad but the AI love to lauch missiles as I am about to fly over the jumps, then I don't make it and have to wait for the ship to slowly put me back on the track...and into last place.

[Amaroq Dricaldari]

*shows annoyance at your display of distaste towards Firestar*
...they just keep on coming, and coming and coming until they get back what you took...
...two by two... hands, blue...

[DDD113]

Look on the bright side ScottishN3ko - if they do consider you a weirdo, you're not the only one! I also was able to adapt to Korodera very rapidly and consider it a fun (yet always challenging) track. I also have trouble with the right path at the start of Firestar, but if I can nail the rest of the course, I can take the left route and still win, just not very comfortably! I got my first WipEout win on Terramax, although I still hate the tunnel of death and the corner before the jump that follows. Otherwise, Silverstream and Firestar are just a matter of learning the courses and figuring out how to execute them, in my opinion.

Cheers,

I hate both Korodera and Silverstream. Mostly on rapier class
