You have such class, 42 minutes devoted to such an extensive amount of information and help on a decent game, why aren't there even at least a few more people like you? 10/10 - fantastic guide, thank you for the effort!
SO, OK, small thing regarding to Pilot assist: If you're totally new to the series, take a Speed Lap, switch PA on, and get yourself used to the speed. Then, switch it off, and never look back.
Man I loved Zone mode. Just being able to watch the pretty visuals as you go faster and faster while being able to play your own music really was an experience! I think it's part of what gave me such fast reflexes all these years later.
I needed this, I'm a big racing game fan and without any tutorial, I couldn't tell what the heck I was doing I want to understand the appeal of this franchise
Why is this not in game!? This is brilliantly put together, and was far more helpful than reading the silly game instructions and running through the same race 10 times until I understood everything.
A truly professional enlightening video. Kudos! I learned a great deal that I already knew and even quite a few new things; an excellent beginners' tutorial. If it's your voice: great accent, perfect articulation, and entertainingly interesting. My hats off to you, HellfireWZ!
This video is a godsend. Having been a huge fan of the series (shame it got axed though), I've always wondered how I'd be able to play at a much higher level. Now with the basics of the game laid bare and well-explained, I can finally improve my skills. Thank you very much Hellfire.
This is the best Wipeout HD tutorial on the internet.I have had this game since launch and I have just started playing it again.I'm still useless at it but this video should help.Great tutorial for a great game.
While I had a growing interest in the wipeout games, it was watching this that convinced me to try harder on the HD demo...when I have the cash, I'm going to get HD Fury when possible. This is a very good and clear guide, :D superb work.
It's hard to get me to sit through a video this long, but you've done it. Excelent video! If there was such a thing as VGHS (Video Game High School) this would surely be a video watched there.
Wow, thanks. I've been playing this game for a while and have been improving throughout the campaign, but this video taught me a few new things, and clarified some questions I had. It was great to watch :)
@rsmspencer Yeah, I noticed that shortly after I uploaded, decided against re-recording it due to the time it would take to encode it all again. However, one could also argue that I hit the speed pad *because* I followed a good racing line ;)
Incoming free omega collection viewers. I was bewitched with borderlands and destiny and ik its late to appreciate your videos, but Im glad theres people like you to help underrated games
This is the best video ever, not big on racing games but this guy may have got me in... I like wipeout anyway coz of how SICK the ship designs are and how knowledge of the track will always let you win against someone with no experience gg
This is a standard that can be included in games. For example this video can easily be part of the game itself. That puts the player in a better place than a steep learning curve.
Your tutorials are the best ever.My friend showed me wipeout almost 2years ago, I own ps3 for about a year and for this year Im playing almost every day. When I first watched your tuts it was super entertaining and I learned a lot. Thanks mate :) You rocks
I can't thank you enough for this guide. Just bought a PS3. Late I know! My first launch day PS1, I bought Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Jumping Flash! and Kileak the Blood. Loved Wipeout but I am an average player, so this guide will definitely help.
Excellent guide! Well articulated and VERY insightful. I've been playing this beloved series since day one and, really, your guide is the best that I've seen! Also, that bit in the "Pilot Assist" segment is great. haha
The first experience with Wipeout for most newcomers uses to be a bit frustrating. After watching this tutorial, all seems to fit in place. Precise and simple explanations, useful examples, well structured contents... Awesome work Charlie. Thanks for your devotion to this game.
Ty dude, I got this game for free when psn went down and I was really into it but I just got stuck pretty fast, the game simply doesn't have a nice way to teach you each feature but this video just works perfectly at doing that, it is a great compliment to the game in fact!
I've never posted on youTube before, but now I have to do!!! Just to say "thank you" for this really great tutorial! I had a good laugh on the "Pilot-Assist"-scene and learned more about Wipeout than ever before. AND you are telling many things that I've been telling my girlfriend since the last 3 weeks. I hope that she will believe me now. :D Again: "Thank you!"
Great work. With Wipeout being thrown at people for free, I've been pointing people to your channel for tips. Now with an all-encompassing tutorial, everybody should be up to speed in no time. Thanks a lot.
If there's a game that deserves suck an in-depth tutorial like this that is Wipeout. I absolutely love the game but I am terrible at it xD this is really useful, thanks!
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. I never played wipeout before and just started with the PSP games, and I knew there were a lot of things that I was missing. Thanks a lot for all the effort put into this video.
The last comment of yours, you said you didn't play the game anymore. Good to see you back into it! I regret having left it so long to get a PS3 :( Sometimes I feel I missed the excitement you guys had when it was new. I was hooked with wipeout 1 :)
Brilliant video! Just ordered my 1st ever PS3, and being in love with the original wipeout back in the late 90's, I am truly looking forward to this. A real professional video and nice touch with the onscreen gamepad illustration!
I've been playing WipEout HD for years and i had no idea there were "invisible" stats on the race craft! Would you care to go over this in more detail if you can? I'd love to know what stats are hidden from view with each ship.
Cuddlesworth Mostly just the craft's weight. It can seriously affect how well said craft can maintain stability going through corners and banked sections
Amazing guide! I played 3 races and got 8th place three times in a row (yeah pretty noobish :/ i know), BUT then I found your video and got 1st right after watching the first 7 minutes! Been at the game for an hour now and been getting gold every event on the first try. Changing my acceleration settings and screen mode really did it for me. Thanks for this guide :D
This is a great tool for learning the basics of wipeout. I've played the game for a while, and this video is really helping me back on track, and explaining to me why i have difficulties :) Thanks a lot HellfireWZ :)
This is brilliant. I wish I watched it last night, my ship kept on getting destroyed on Sebenco Climb, I didn't know that you could reabsorb shield energy like that.
I wish there was some sort of in game indicator or at least tips insteead of just leaving these stats hidden, it would make it easier on everyone. Hell, I just wish that someone could list/do a video on the different ship models, that would be cool. Still, this is one hell of a video, learned more from this than anything I've ever seen and played from this game put together, THIS is how you do a game guide. Wish the devs would've done something like this, maybe a bunch of tutorial videos ingame
Watched this vid and most of your others in the last few days. I played WipEout until Wip3out, but couldn't get into it after the PS1 versions coz I thought you HAD to use the sticks. I realised the D-pad worked but thought there was no way I could become proficient at it with the sticks. Then I scrolled down here and you mention you play on the D-pad!!! I now want to go back and play HD.....but my PS3 died last month!
Thanks, but Im working then, but I have registered with that site. Great to see these events still happening. Im also fairly new to the game, so haven't mastered the tracks satisfactorily yet. Good luck if you're on, and a pleasure to receive message from you.
Got pretty addicted to Wipeout HD a while back, stopped playing for a long time, played some more today and forgot how great it was. I must have stopped because it got so difficult!! I intend to sharpen my skills, so thank you for this tutorial! Such a fantastically engrossing and difficult game, the frenetic chaos, yet precise control blends an incredible sense of satisfaction. May even get a VITA for it :) I will say, it's too bad what happened to the studio, hope we see a sequel.
Hey, i have to say, this video was really helpful. I started playing WipEout with WipEout HD on the PS3, and this tutorial was super helpful when i got back into the series. If its alright with you, and if you have a discord, i would love to sit down and just talk about WipEout as a whole.
I was about to ask why, then I got to the pitching section of the video. I understand now why you would use a d-pad over an analog stick for Wipeout. The extra finesse from an analog stick is unnecessary when the airbrakes are available (assigned to triggers even in HD) and it's a lot easier to pitch and steer simultaneously with d-pad. I gave up on it when I was using analog stick. Sacrificing full steering to pitch on certain turns got annoying fast. Thanks a bunch for this video!
Oh wow, I've followed you and watched the wipeout videos a while ago, but I had no idea you'd made this video! I didn't see it in the wipeout collections playlist ^^; Thank you for making this!
I've got my PS3 and my copy of the game is on the way. I got 40 gold medals in wipEout Pure for the PSP under my belt, gaining them with a faulty control stick. This is Geek Pilot Alpha. I'm ready for the Fury.
Awesome!! Really helpful stuff. I enjoy playing the game but wasn't really good and had lots of questions. This definitely clears things up and makes it so much more fun. Thanks for the guide!
@Tailsrulz123 The stat upgrades are red on your side because the menu skin is set to Fury(either when you purchased the Fury expansion,or personal taste),and in this video,the menu skin is set to HD(the one that comes with the base game). Either way,if you look at the numbers,there is an increase in the number,so the colours are purely cosmetic.
A most terrific tutorial indeed. Thank you very much for creating this HellfireWZ, even though I've played this game for some time now this was educational. Once again: my compliments to you sir!
There were a few minor errors (mainly of omission - nothing people won't find through standard play), but this is basically everything a new player could ever need to get started, aside from a few hundred laps in racebox =P Amazing job. Informative, concise and entertaining; the ideal combination. =D
Hellfire, you're a proper WipEout Zeus (pun intended). You're a great help to me, and I'm sure a lot of other players. Thanks so much for your videos and guides.
Awesome tutorial - wish I'd had one like it when I was starting out. Beginners really need to know (i) how to make the thrust control digital and (ii) that there's good reason to remap the airbrakes to L1 and R1 (iii) that almost every corner in the game can and should be tackled slightly faster by sideshifting.
I've always loved wipeout HD but it's intimidated me for so long (i actually use to play the N64 version then the PSE version) these tips have encouraged me to try it again and try and master it :)
I just now realized how damn difficult it is to side-shift and barrel roll in this game, ever since the game got updated to 2048 physics. I would use Hellfire's control scheme, but even then I have to SLAM on the L1 and R1 buttons to get them to do anything, plus I am already too used to the default control scheme. And of course, I'm not the only guy that plays.
This video could easily be included in the game.
@Ivan Breitling nah mate, we don’t care about your creepy stories.

You have such class, 42 minutes devoted to such an extensive amount of information and help on a decent game, why aren't there even at least a few more people like you?
10/10 - fantastic guide, thank you for the effort!
SO, OK, small thing regarding to Pilot assist: If you're totally new to the series, take a Speed Lap, switch PA on, and get yourself used to the speed. Then, switch it off, and never look back.
Comes in very useful for the new Omega collection.
TheTrans22 And I'm working on a 2048 guide right now :)
I'm gonna buy a ps4 just for the omega collection. Never had a console but i want to play wipeout for a very long time. Oh ok also Horizon.
@digitaligor hi bro. Did u know? WipEout HD was actually released during LoveLive School Idol Project season 1 storyline.
Man I loved Zone mode. Just being able to watch the pretty visuals as you go faster and faster while being able to play your own music really was an experience! I think it's part of what gave me such fast reflexes all these years later.
Zone mode is absolutely one of the most brilliant modes ever created in history of video game
Wow i've been a pilot since the first wipeout, and this is the best way I've seen someone explain how to play the game.
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Great job man!
I needed this, I'm a big racing game fan and without any tutorial, I couldn't tell what the heck I was doing I want to understand the appeal of this franchise
Why is this not in game!? This is brilliantly put together, and was far more helpful than reading the silly game instructions and running through the same race 10 times until I understood everything.
5 years later, coming back to this video, I can definitely say it helped me a lot.
A truly professional enlightening video. Kudos! I learned a great deal that I already knew and even quite a few new things; an excellent beginners' tutorial. If it's your voice: great accent, perfect articulation, and entertainingly interesting. My hats off to you, HellfireWZ!
This video is a godsend. Having been a huge fan of the series (shame it got axed though), I've always wondered how I'd be able to play at a much higher level. Now with the basics of the game laid bare and well-explained, I can finally improve my skills. Thank you very much Hellfire.
This is the best Wipeout HD tutorial on the internet.I have had this game since launch and I have just started playing it again.I'm still useless at it but this video should help.Great tutorial for a great game.

Thanks!

I really appreciate this, thank you! This is one of my favorite games, so watching this will be very helpful!

This was very timely with the welcome package having just come out. And really helpful. Wish there were more people like you on YT thanks.
Dear god this video was a life saver. thank you for making it.
I've played almost every game in the series but this tutorial still had new info for me. Thank you very much.
Oh good! I'm glad you got the songs to work. I'll keep that in mind then if I run into any similar problems. Enjoy!
Thank you. You taught me more on how to play my favorite racing game of all time. There was a bunch that I haven't learned
WipeOut HD and HD Fury are the 2nd and 3rd best games in wipeout series.
Bruh that advice for the auto assist actually jumpscared me lmao.
This is the most amazing video ever made about Wipeout in the tube, thanks mate the wipeout community is in your debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't thank you enough for this guide. Just bought a PS3. Late I know! My first launch day PS1, I bought Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Jumping Flash! and Kileak the Blood.

great tutorial man, i just wanna say that you forgot to mention that the shield also prevents slowdown from weapon fire
Brilliant video! Just ordered my 1st ever PS3, and being in love with the original wipeout back in the late 90's, I am truly looking forward to this. A real professional video and nice touch with the onscreen gamepad illustration!
I wish they let you do 12-player races on here, that'd be so great. Brilliant video once again!

Digital Deathsquid so triakis is heavier than it is?
Why is no one talking about 30:16? That shot is epic!
Superb video. Many thanks for putting this together. It's been really helpful. Pilot assist really is more of a hindrance than anything.
round of applause my man !
i really enjoyed every second of this tutorial !
and i've brought the game now online because of it !
Amazing guide! I played 3 races and got 8th place three times in a row (yeah pretty noobish :/ i know), BUT then I found your video and got 1st right after watching the first 7 minutes! Been at the game for an hour now and been getting gold every event on the first try. Changing my acceleration settings and screen mode really did it for me. Thanks for this guide :D
very useful! thank you! Got this game as the Welcome Back freebie and never could get a handle on the, er, handling. This has helped alot1
Thank you so much for this. I played XL, 3, and Fusion, but HD/Fury were so hard for me.
Now I see why.
This is a great tool for learning the basics of wipeout. I've played the game for a while, and this video is really helping me back on track, and explaining to me why i have difficulties :)
Thanks a lot HellfireWZ :)
This is so great. You should do one for Infamous too, i'm quite sure 80% of people got Wipeout and Infamous.
This is brilliant. I wish I watched it last night, my ship kept on getting destroyed on Sebenco Climb, I didn't know that you could reabsorb shield energy like that.

i thought i knew enough about wipeout because i've been playing it for years. i sit corrected!

Thank you for that explanation, i was wondering why the lobbies were so empty nowadays.. i hope 2.50 fixes everything when it finally comes out.
This video is incredible. Thank you so much for posting it. And it was professionally done too. Five stars.
Even for a veteran the information is useful.
Good job

Excelent video, excelent tutorial!!! Thank you so much.
brilliant, well made video! super useful and informative!
Triaks Has always Been my Fave To race with.. i do sometimes struggle with later levels and really should look at other ships
I've always loved wipeout HD but it's intimidated me for so long (i actually use to play the N64 version then the PSE version) these tips have encouraged me to try it again and try and master it :)
Anyone making a game guide for RUclips should watch this to see how it's done.
absolutely smashing work man! keep it going
/oryx
Great guide Hellfire.
This is phenomonal. Well done and thank you!
I just now realized how damn difficult it is to side-shift and barrel roll in this game, ever since the game got updated to 2048 physics. I would use Hellfire's control scheme, but even then I have to SLAM on the L1 and R1 buttons to get them to do anything, plus I am already too used to the default control scheme. And of course, I'm not the only guy that plays.
Really amazing work Charlie. Big thumbs up!!! Greetz Mad-Ice
Fantastic video. Well worth the watch, especially for newbies!
