New wipeout

[JABBERJAW]

Rumors of a new Wipeout developed by Sega. While they make great games, I have no reason to believe the would do Wipeout justice. The Fzero game was broken badly, despite playing well.

Yep, saw that like 2 months ago (?) but let's see if it's true or not i wouldn't mind a new one (with no region lobbies on multiplayer too ._.), we have to wait and see :p

I don’t know why people keep reporting this nonsense. The original source of this is literally some dude on an obscure discussion board, and his message didn’t even mention WipEout at all.

There is NO basis for this.

Guess it's life. And if you dig up a bit (I mean if you want to play the great games that are still available to play and enjoy on multiple platforms), you'll find great challenge on PS4 (Omega), or WO HD/FURY PS3/RPCS3, online crossplay. What did you expect?
So maybe the money men will see an interest into a new wipeout duh?

[AdHoc]

Sure, it costs nothing to talk about it. Unfortunately, that’s not how the video game industry works, otherwise you’d already have another F-Zero game (a much bigger and louder community than us).

My reaction is rather aimed at people not doing any research and believing everything they see. I’m also trying to manage expectations.

More than happy to amplify rumors if they have a solid basis (and I have done that multiple times in the past). The Sega sorry is utter malarkey though.

[kanar]

You're right, they were hyped by an impossible wipeout reboot by sega as they did for zero, as far as I understood.
I'm extremely lucky. I have 6 months to do whathever I want, for some personal reasons. So maybe I'll be able to set up into everyone's agenda at least 5 or 10mn online old school gameplay during a week-end in april. Also, trying to raise the deads, which is fkin impossible so far. Didnt know F-Zero had a more active community lol, as afaik they cant play online? Sad.
There's a still a CRAZY fkn competitive scene for wipeout 2024, online. HD or Omega. Rage quitted due to glitch in 2010 for me but guess what I'm back. Dealing wth it, and starting to learn2.51 physics. Never ending story.
Till the next real wipeout, future is now (RPCS3 = Wipeout HD/Fury @120fps, high res).
(sorry for my engrish)

WipEout is infinitely more niche than F-Zero. It’s way more hardcore and doesn’t shy away from it. The F-Zero hype is amplified in particular by the Smash Bros community and, more generally, by Nintendo fanboys, casual gamers and N64 nostalgics.

It’s really strange how we’ve been gifted so many WipEout games since the last F-Zero came out (F-Zero GX, in... 2003!). Not that I’m complaining about it :p

[kanar]

not related to this fked topic anyway, but I can't read your pms for some reasons, so I say it here. Last time I got "life" then nothing, but I received the mail notification, now I'm getting "It' , the first word I guess, then nothing. Sad we can't even pm someone now.

EDIT : Got the rest through my mail. Anyway. Back to the Icaras academy for some more speed laps then sleep.

[AdHoc]

Yeah sorry, the PMs are farked. Thanks for the invite and fly high.

[blackwiggle]

Ditto the PM's are not working properly.
I know I haven't visited the zone in ages, but I still should have gotten email alerts people had sent me messages....It hadn't until I got one yesterday telling me Kanar had sent me one.

Anyway, while I'm here and to answer who I know is still active on Playstation at least,I went through my friends list, which has a LOT of old WO pilots from the HD WC days, and here is what I have found, their PSID's and regarding recent activity.

Those of you who are trying to get old pilots out of retirement for tournaments might find it interesting.

PLEASE don't put it upon me to contact these pilots, the PSNID's are correct so you can message them yourselves to alert them of your tournaments if you so wish.

Over the years, I've gotten messages from about 4 or 5 different people asking, "Hey, just asking, did you race against my DAD, as I see you on his friends list ?"

I look at the PSNID and think, hell yes I did, and end up telling the kid about the olden days........;):)

- - - Updated - - -

I've left the possibly problematic PSNID's out of the list.

What I mean by problematic is those pilots that speak no English, which is something I had to deal with a LOT with the WOHD world cup back in the PS3 days.

I wouldn't want anybody have to go through what KANAR and I did again, it was a absolute nightmare TBH, and consequently the tournament dragged on far far longer than it should have done.

A word of warning when organizing a online tournament, as one who has suffered this.

You HAVE to DRILL into the heads of the competitors to use GMT TIME, it's not hard to look up on the internet.

SO many stuff up were caused by pilots not turning up to race at the correct time.

[kanar]

Working on the list atm, thank you so much! I think you mispelled some of them lol, as i have good memories. Regarding schedule and so on : no problemo lol : 24/7 hosting last april week-end : simple, come as you are, any time, dont speak and just race if you want.

Edit : sadly i cant spam the list with my ps3, not connected with ps4 psn network i guess. You connected last time 5 months ago here for me

[Flashback Jack]

They have their work cut out for them, because Redout 2 has completely ran away with the best anti-gravity presentation since Wipeout 2048. Any new Wipeout game would have to be beyond stellar to have a hope in hell of gaining any real following in what's already a niche market as far as I'm concerned.

Release date 2024? Not sure what this is all about.

[GBalao888]

This does not look convincing enough to be authentic.

Honestly getting tired of all the "reboot" nonsense, it's just another way to completely destroy what made a franchise great. As for the case of WipEout Merge, I can quote Vito Corleone with "Look how they massacred my boy".

When it comes to video game reboots, take Forza Motorsport for example, with Forza Motorsport (2023) being considered a buggy and messed up release, to the point where Turn Ten are doing damage control with it.

If they'll really do a new WipEout from... dare I say it (since Forza is making it very old already)... the ground up, maybe at least pick up after the FX350/400 Leagues.

This is pretty old, I remember seeing this page at least a year ago.

[kanar]

.... otherwise you’d already have another F-Zero game (a much bigger and louder community than us)

So now, is the F-Zero community able to pull out an international online tournament 24/7 PS3/PC CROSSPLAY last april week-end, out of nowhere? We should ask them? I'm joking mate ;). F-ZERO GX was the game who led me to wipeout (again ahah) pulse, then to you all back in the time ;) Just check wz activity, especially GUESTS. As no one can register now. Hope to see you soon on the traX.

[AdHoc]

It’s not as much a community as just hordes of rabbid absolutists and nostalgics. I’m not saying they’re better than us, just that there’s more of them.

Good job on the tournament.

[kanar]

Man. That was just the beginning of my night :) 2.38 atm, I coached Temet after you, then I got trashed by Yel and Tem like a boss you know what i mean
PURE WIPEOUT NIGHT
THIS IS JUST THE WARM UP ;) I AM NOT EXAGGERATING
FKIN check by yourself at the avalon tavern this is a link to wipeout wonderland just here : https://discord.gg/kpBeT65F (https://discord.gg/gPkRDh9M?event=1198321548700942458)
this is the new wipeout you were waiting for. HD/FURY, OMEGA : DEAD OR ALIVE
This is ultimate bruh.



thank you AdHoc, means a lot coming from you
Tee Hee (I am drunk)
Link me to this Fzero community man, I must bring em here

[Chill]

If/when a new Wipeout comes out, I hope they can make it so that you can race arcade with the A.I. while waiting for players to join your hosted game. Mainly for when things are dead. I can see dead servers and people not wanting to wait around to play in order to race real people being a drawback from having more regular players imo..

Yeah, it was pretty messy back then mate. I’ve been away from the scene but have been racing online here and there in Navek’s rapier rooms a couple evenings a week if I’m lucky. Kinda sucking hard on tracks lol I’m so rusty it’s embarrassing.

For the record, and I may get banned after admitting this but here goes… I came back here thru the side entrance when I was banned as ACE-FLO. PSN is now ACE-2097.

And… I don’t have a ps3 anymore so meh. I guess I’m out of Avalon.

[kanar]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo
ACE my mate a ps3 is 50 bucks if you re lucky as me, like in a cash converter you know : a perfect monolyth which dont hoover at all! or a bit ahah
You also have the pc emulation, really cool if your pc in medium to high level gaming
But if you cant, you cant, I'll get to you on omega one of these days ahah, I should get back more into it soon

[slimjim]

@terra-wrists you could try to emulate like im trying to as my ps3 is back in the uk

[terra-wrists]

I believe my old ps3 might still be at my parents place somewhere. Next time I get a chance, I’ll have a look for it. My PC is good to go.

Little correction here:
Danterich - from Austria

Seeing the likes such as Resident Evil remakes and Tomb Raider remasters do so well is awesome, and I wish the same could be said for Wipeout. Being that ballisticNG is doing so well and pretty much covers remastered material, I would prefer a remake over a remaster. Wipeout 1-3, in there respective installments. The leagues expanded upon (as the originals could be seen as a summary), with more options with multiplayer that includes the network.

[docfo4r]

Hey there, don't know if you people have seen this. Just found it myself today and though I'd post it here:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DY-PGKSvq0

The game is directed by WipEout co-creator Nick Burcombe. On their website (https://starlightgames.co.uk/) they describe it as a "a brand-new action futuristic-sports-game".

[Chill]

Definitely looks interesting! Looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

[JABBERJAW]

Hope it’s awesome. I like futuristic sports games, like Deathrow, Ballblazer and Pitball.

[kanar]

Ouah awesome new pacer

[slimjim]

i bet its going to be futuristic ultimate frisbee
