New WipEout HD patch makes your life much easier

ps3fanboy.com wirtes:

WipEout HD is hard. If you've played the game, you probably know that and, if the newest patch is anything to go by, the developers at Studio Liverpool have also realized this. Updating the game to version 1.20, which will happen as soon as you start the game, will make getting medals in campaign mode a lot easier. You can now change the difficulty setting within campaign mode to novice, skilled or elite, just like in other modes. This changes the medal requirements, making completing the game a much simpler experience.

I was in the same boat--not good enough to make the grade in a few races. Still, at first I was pissed that they nerfed the game. Then I realized it's not nerfed at all. You still have to play well to get Elite wins, and most people will still get their sh1t cleaned in online races. Man, what a fantastic freaking game.

On a side note, anyone else wonder why no one besides 1up has given Wipeout HD a video review? This game has to be seen to be believed.

Back on topic, I'm all for the update. I hope they release some new tracks in the future.

I don't know it's still hard. I don't know what I'm doing wrong anymore. I love the game because once you get it you're proud of yourself.

2 - i needed this patch
When I heard that his patch was up, I had to go download it quick so I could play WipeoutHD again. It was way too hard for me, but I can beat everything on the "skilled" level and some on "elite". This is good so I won't be bummed out for sucking and can keep practicing at a lower level till I get better to play as an "elite".

Hey guys,

I am almost done with all the races in Wipeout HD. I just have six more "time trial" races that I need to get GOLD medals on. Most of you that play Wipeout know that time trials did not have difficulty settings and you could only change "difficulty" on races against the A.I. So if I download this patch, what happens to all my "time trial" gold medals? Will it say I beat them on "easy" because if it doesn't I do not want this patch at all!! Please let me know, thanks!!

3.1 - it should stay as an elite medal
anything that you have raced before should have been on elite, except against the AI races. so it should be gold color plus the emblem. gold plated means easy, gold plated with small emblem means skilled and gold plated with big emblem means elite. so it should be safe to update the patch.

3.2 - No you're good
The new mods that got added were easier.... That means all the ones you previously won are now still won on "elite" mode...

I was a little discouraged to play this after one week. Maybe I'll start playing it again.

9 - It hardly matters.
The time trials, zone (for campaign) and lap trails are easy to earn gold in. The difficult part is winning the races in Elite @ phantom for campaign and racebox reverse, Zone75 is also pretty tough. Either way, I hope they don't dumb down the AI, if that were to happen, I'd feel that my platinum in WipeoutHD has decreased in value.

Dude you're probably the only person in the world that has a platinum in Wipeout HD. Kudos to you but the general consensus amongst us mortals is that Wipeout HD is EXTREMELY difficult...

Wipeout HD isn't hard to finish at all. Some trophies are but not the game itself.

Man, do they want to make every game "casual"?

I didn't find it too hard to finish either, but all of my friends who aren't fans of the series think it's nearly impossible. I can understand the difficulty for newcomers.

Waaaaaaaaaa.......... I am slightly conflicted.

Wipeout was one of few truly hard games. It would smack you around, turn you side ways and blow out your O ring. It had that status. There needs to be a few games like that.

On the other hand. It really is a fantastic game, and it would be a shame for people who can't hack it(the vast majority of people) to miss out on it because it is too hard.

Conclusion: Harden the **** up.
