I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on wipeout.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Very fun, beautiful game, and I suck at it.

Good to hear (the fun and beautiful part, not the you sucking at it ). My roommate is downloading it now, so I'm ready to give it a whirl.

[Moses Shuttlesworth]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Got the game, not too fond of it. Matter of fact, I feel like I wasted $20.00

The SIXAXIS steering is impossible. It barely works.

[fishepa]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I don't use six axis steering, I use the analog stick.

[SqueakyD]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I wouldn't use the sixaxis steering in this game, either. Just use the analog as mentioned, and use those air brakes L2, R2...

Huge amount of anticipation needed... I sometimes wish there was a small map overlay as part of the HUD so I can see what the next turns are... So fast

[Altimus]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Sixaxis steering sucks in every game.

Last time I tried using it was in Heavenly Sword... instant failure.

I found that out with the PSP game that I recently purchased. It's my first foray into the Wipeout series. Before I started using the air brakes I was horrible.

I thought the Six Axis was used quite well in HS.
