How many GB is Wipeout HD?

[eLhabib]

Yes. He is commonly referred to as God.

Hehe, I love this thread. Talk about finding something to talk about whilst twiddling your thumbs

Now you know how Star Wars fans felt, between 1983 and 1999.

.. Well, maybe not.

[eLhabib]

How very evil of you. Well, since your work on HD is done (I guess), sit back and enjoy the show

It is funny how quickly the conversations can tangent from the topic. Ah, doesn’t matter got the answer i was looking for anyway. Continue.

Exactly the picture I had in mind, Egg

Yeah we were already told that it sits at just under a gig after install were we not? I dunno how they got it so small. there isn't a lot to the HAZE demo in terms of play length and its a lot bigger than that.

[Colin Berry]

you know last month when I said it was less than one gig

I wasnt lying

It is less than 1 gig


/waits for the next 5gig+ download rumour top start in 2 weeks time

Maybe the reason Haze is large and Wipeout is small is due to the optimised code SL produce compared to the Haze devs?

Quite refreshing if you ask me that SL are not following the MS rule of "have disk space, create bloatly code" I mean, how much disk space did Office used to take up? (I run an MS certified dev company btw so don't tell bill)

Colin I think that the fact that a lot of games require a very large hard disk install today on PS3 for very little performance increase has anyone worrying when one of the prettiest games on the PS3 is coming through download only. People don't like 5GBs install and they fear that this game, being such a beauty to look at, might cost them a large share of the HDD... I think why people say these things is not to be a rumor mill, but instead to seek an answer to silence their fear...
Maybe you should just say how much it is now (Even though it is not complete) so that people will know it's very small, right now, and they won't worry any more

Any chance you can give us some technical info/jargon on how you've managed to get so many tracks looking so incredible at 1080p60 and still bring it in under 1GB?

Like, what sort of compression is being used, etc.

Is there any chance when/if a full WipEoutPS3 game comes out that it might feature uncompressed 7.1 audio and come on a BD?

I'm really looking forward to the Dolby 5.1 play on this game, but I drool to think of an all new WipEout game for PS3 with uncompressed PCM on it.

I would think none
After all he is a game developer and isn't going to give out his secrets to anyone else.

So Mr Colin Berry what the exact file data size of the Wipeout HD game? Any chance of giving us a confirmed release date? Also tell me straight off will the 15th of July be a significant date?

[Bytehawk]

week of 15/7 = fatal inertia release in EU
there is little chance Sony's going to put Wipeout up at that date too

[Rapier Racer]

So Mr Colin Berry what the exact file data size of the Wipeout HD game?

There seems to be a fascination with this that I've missed, jeez it's less than a gig, who actually cares about the exact size?? What potential use could anyone have for such apparently useless information?

"It's 978 MB"..................and???

It is clear that an answer to the first question is useless, and there is also an implication that his statement is a lie, hence the demand for exactitude.

Of course there is no chance of a confirmed date. Another useless and harrassing question.

Who are you to demand an answer, especially to such a vague question where its meaning is implied rather than directly stated.

In my opinion, that is an uncivilised and insulting post; it is full of disrespectful attitude to someone who deserves considerable respect for work and dedication. See to it that you do better in all of your future posts.
