Dammit. I keep messing up at zone 67-68, the speed doesn't overwhelm me but I keep making mental errors and choke at the 2-3 laps of mach1. The worst part is that I have to go through 10 minutes of slow-mo boredom (Zone 1-50) just to practice on 60. I've died on Zone 65-68 on my last 8 attempts now.

Once I get Zonezues, WipeoutHD will finally be transcended. Then it's on to Burnout and Buzz.

 

This is exactly the problem I've been having. I've died on zone 71 twice now. I can drive Mach I okay but I just start to choke, thinking too much of how close I am to finally doing it.

I just got Elite Campaign Legend though, a trophy I didn't think I'd get at all until yesterday when I somehow ploughed through nine events, leaving only two. It's the only one of the four difficult golds I have - I'm still two tenths off Zico which is driving me insane and I havn't begun to learn the reverse tracks for the Arcade Perfect trophy. Still not sure if I can make the Platinum or not.

I finally broke though zone 68 and ended with 72. 3 more zones to improve on before i get platinum, i feel like my eyes and hands are finally starting to adjust to mach1.

Zico is actually the first gold I got in WipeoutHD. It's just all about execution, you'll eventually get it. As for Arcade perfect, I actually got that one before I got elite campaign legend, my plan was to go for the reverse tracks immediately after getting 1st on campaign and forward racebox races so the tracks would be more familiar. Sebenco, Sol2 and Chenghou are all easier on reverse.

The tracks that i had problems with on reverse are moa therma and Ubermall. If you can get elite legend, then i think you'll eventually get the platinum. It's good to see someone else in VGchartz that has the will to chase wipeoutHD platinum. 

with that being said, DO NOT GIVE IN! you're closer to platinum than you think.

 

Yeah I can't resist chasing the difficult stuff, I love it. That gold was the most satisfying trophy I've yet won, and if I won the Platinum it would be one of my most satisfying achievements in gaming, period. But these trophies are so hard they've brought me close to admitting defeat.

It's a real relief that you say Sebenco, Sol2 and Chenghou are easier backward, it makes it seem a lot more possible. I've now won the Anulpha Pass reverse, but I expect a lot more difficulty with all the others. Did you just jump right into the phantom elite races on the reverse tracks or did you practice the tracks first in say a Speed Lap session?

And did you use the triple 'chain' barrel role for Zico or just the double? I've only ever pulled off the third once and it wasn't on a hot lap. If I could do that then it would easily gain my last .2 secs.
