That's really cool! It's a shame that that one I designed (it was ages ago now, when I first heard of the project) isn't right, but I think that this one is better anyway. It fits Helios' style much better. :)

[Xpand]

I actually made this one while looking at yours. I wanted to include some elements, but I also wanted to make it a bit closer to Helios, like keep the separated pods. I think that's one the two reasons I didn't go with your design. The other was that it looked a bit too flimsy for a team that's the equivalent of Triakis. Sorry.

[clojo733]

Yeah, I definitely agree that mine is too delicate and it needed toughening up a little, especially since Helios is heavily shielded. :)

Pretty.

This ship is all about the small details. I have to control myself to leave some to be made with textures

Those thrusters are freaking MASSIVE! However, it does look cool.

[AGSys]

Reminds me a lot of the Fusion ship designs, minus the boat looking fin things.

wow, this looks really cool. reminds me a bit of a 'Kilrathi' starfighter from the wing commander series :)

[vincoof]

I don’t post a lot in this forum but I had to stop by and say this ship looks absolutely fantastic. You’ve already shared your thoughts about quantity vs. quality, so I hope your attention to detail doesn’t take you too much time. But looking at the result I can definitely say your time was well spent!

[Xpand]

Thanks, this one took around the same time as all the others. I think it was actually faster since it has more detail in the texture and less in the model than the other ships.

[TypeProton]

A little team-colored mascots while you wait.

[Oryx Crake]

Worked too hard? I think I procrasinate all the time. :D

[docfo4r]

I rather take my dog with me for a walk, always listening, never complaining. What better partner could you ask for? :D

Hehe, thanks!

[superjeepboy]

Nice, but i noticed when you barrel roll you go over 360 degrees, its kinda weird isn't it?

[Xpand]

Well that's easily explained when you take inertia into account, but we're getting rid of that quirk to include multiple BRs.

[Xpand]

The last playable ship is done: LOGOS Lambda Nu prototype:

[DIXI200]

Very eye-catching color with shades of gray mimetic style..great job
How are your driving test? .. The impression is of a fast ship.

[clojo733]

Hmm, another very nice ship! I love the aerodynamic design c:

And we're back! :D

Will you guys ever be able to use the WipEout name for your upcoming AG game(s)? It would be rather nice if you could, not that there is anything wrong with SlipStream GX.

[Xpand]

Sony still holds the rights to everything related to wipeout, so no. UNLESS, you know a way to pay them for all the copyrighted stuff, then we can work that out. ;)

[vincoof]

Probably not the WipEout official name. At best the game could include a few private jokes or maybe logos “inspired” by some WO tracks or ships, but definitely not the original material. With that said, I don’t know if anyone here has a real experience with these legal issues. We’d be glad is s/he could enlighten us :)

[Xpand]

But our game already has a LOT of pointers to the Wipeout series, the most obvious being the barrel roll/side shift seconded by the fact that it is set in between the years of Wo Fusion and Wo Pure.

It would be cool if SlipStream GX could have ships and ship skins, logos and race tracks that look similar to the WO series ones. I have already seen a tack in SS GX that looks like Moa Therma and a ship that looks like a Feisar. Just do what GTA does with their cars. haha

[Xpand]

If you go to our website and read some of the backstories there, you'll notice a lot more stuff in common with the wipeout series, especially if you know wipeout's backstory.

Any estimates on what a complete 'Buy Out" would be.
All IP rights for all past WO's and current, with contract to support PS3/4/ VITA TV, WO for next 10 years.... that's a contract worth chasing upon.

Doubt it would cost that much......only reason I say that is Sony don't believe in it's staff, hasn't for years..... self devaluation.

Find out / PM ...

[Xpand]

1. Yes: www.slipstreamgx.com

2. No, it's still a lot. They still get some money from selling the games. Plus we'd have to be at least at the same level as SCEE as a company and history to even get close to convince them to sell the copyrights.

Nobody. It'll be Wipeout's 20th anniversary soon.

That is very, very pretty.
