Awesome Rob, thanks! :D
"Before the end of the year". Cripes. Time to check the wallet, and hold off on the new bathroom. :D
No kidding - my PS3 is penciled in for September. Which, coincidentally, is also the time my bank manager is scheduled for suicide watch. ;)
YEAH! at last, Wipeout back on a console in some form, now spew fourth the details what tracks what tracks!!
"Wipeout HD will feature a online multiplayer mode and, while unconfirmed, likely HD-enabled tracks from Wipeout Pulse, as well."
YES hopefully 8 or more players will be possible now with the PSN and the PS3s power, I've played more than on Motorstorm so there is no excuse for this Wipeout not being able to do the same :sonar
More NEWS?!!!! is anymore to come? this is getting too excited!
Well I am getting a PS3 in August coming;)
I`m looking forward to this.
stevie:)
Yeehah!
Good job I decided not to get a 360.
I sure hope they come up with a better name than WipEout HD :dizzy
New forum Yeah !!
Awesome news , thx Rob. I wasn't a very great ps3 fan but with that new HD coming i may changed my opinion very quickly :banzai
HD is the name for the PSN release but won't be name for the proper PS3 Wipeout thats supposed to grace us in 08, good god think of the possible details they could get on that Blu Ray
That's awesome!! Big big news and it will be there before the end of the year. That is so fast. I don't know if I can save the money that quickly? Question: Why is Wipeout HD called FX350? It will be released after FX400 Pulse!!! Because of a sreenshot of the original Wipeout, will this mean that we can expect some tracks from every version?
Maybe something between the FX300 and FX400?
Very good question Max! Does that means more back story coming up?
stevie:)
OK, that was the signal for me to get a PS3. And the signal to beg for a steep price drop.
Speaking of backstory, if we're looking at an entirely new racing league inserted in between Pure and Pulse, my AG Press thread is screwed. :/
Heh, whew - for a moment there I thought the next gen WipEout was announced:p
EDIT: My mistake again - I only glanced at the pic of WO1, posted then read:p
Meh. No F3600 remake after all.
You also forgot the aggravating smashes in the low-hanging billboards at Citta Nuova. Now in 1080i High-Definition, with 5.1 surround sound effects of the sickening thud that results in a dead stop!
If it were an F3600 remake they'd better not do some silly radical change, like introduce double-hull Qirex and Auricom at a time when there was no such thing. Or make tracks like Karbonis total undriveable shite like it was in Wipeout Pure.
@RJ.....
you can still do your press thread, just pretend HD never happened.
*no amount of words can describe how much I am laughing right now* :p
Well as Asa said, it could be a compilation of Pure (300) and Pulse (400) - most likely that's the case, unless anyone at SL (Rob, Colin) has an explanation as to why it's FX350.
Either way, it might not matter to me that much if the PS3 continues to sell badly at a price of 1 Arm and 2 Legs and I can't afford it. >_<
*writes mental note to self*
GET A F**KING PS3! :D
Was planning on one next year but I think this is the perfect incentive to bring forward the investment ;)
Sorry, but where is everyone getting the idea its the FX350? :\
Edit: aha, rob is speculating. sorry, followed the link from the homepage to this thread
Very interesting indeed.
Well, if there was something that would convince me to get a PS3, this would be it :)
*eagerly awaits release of additional information*
Oh look! A reason to own a PS3 has suddenly appeared!
YAY!
I signed up for a free one :p
Spotted this on avforums yesterday.
At last I might have a use for my PS3 outside watching Blue Rays / DVD's!!!
bring it on Sony.
If SL will show WO:HD at E³ it was nice if they also offer some info directly to the gamesites at the same time.
Cause trailers, filmed from an TV with a hand-camera, aren't really that nice compared to high-res sceens or trailers directly from the development studios that usually have a far better quality :)
i was under the impression that E3 was no more...
Exarkann: The super-spectacle E3 is no more.
E3 still is going on but now it's a rather low-key event this year. No more booth babes I guess :(
In the know eh? My my, aren't we special. :D
They are going to have to pull a fast one on the storyline then, otherwise the story will get all muddled.
The back story is one of my favorite parts of the wipEout series, so ill be disappointed if it gets botched.
To be honest, im going to have to assume a remake of pure with all the downloadable content added. Sorry, a 'point-five' game doesnt appeal to me - until there is more info on this release im not getting my hopes up. :(
Please prove me wrong. Ive been far too negative today. whats wrong with me!?
Wowies.
WipEout graces us with TWO games in 2007.
This is going to be a big year, fellow pilots.
...
And now to start saving for a PS3...
Well, Rob has been writing the backstory recently, so he's about as "in the know" as it's possible to get... I hope.
Unless Col, Karl or one of the other designers changes something and screws it all up :)
Fortunately I knew about WipEout HD early enough that I could work around it for the WipEout Pulse backstory. It did kind of mess things up a little, though - designers weren't to blame, this time - it was the artists, I tells ya! ;)
Uhm... Rob writes the back story
Primarily because he is better at it and more enthusiastic for it than anyone else, not sure if that makes him special
His occasional blue hair makes him special !! but we havent seen that for a while :(
And no Adam !
I would dare touch the back story, nor let anyone else near it
Otherwise it would end up filled with Rocky references and orcs in Wales
Are you sure you don't want to be a writer Colin? Sounds like you could've wrote a story for the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, with the Orcs in Wales concept. Torchwood is filmed and set in Cardiff.
Any ways, good news for Wipeout fans most definitely. Like someone said, two Wipeout titles in one year! It's like we're dreaming.
Sadly, this isn't enough to convince me on picking up a PS3. I do plan to pick one up, but a couple of titles in my opinion isn't enough to buy a PS3. Now if by some chance this is my year and I end up winning the red PS3, well then I'll be so on top of buying Wipeout HD :P
Any ways, glad to see the Wipeout universe back in Sony's favour. What a month and a half it's been!
Ooo :blarg I don't like that red PS3 I think it looks truly awful, I wouldn't complain if I got it for free through could always put a bag over it
I am giddy with excitement about this. Specially since I have the two main things in order to make this work already. The TV and the Console. I took the hit early... well... right at the start (and living on bread and butter till i can stabalize the hit i took from that :P), and I still play my GTHD time trials :D. By the time WOHD comes out, rumble will probably be finally getting it`s final touches done on the new PS3 controllers (if they overcome their packaging problems - rumour that i heard). I wonder how you guys will integrate that into gameplay.
MMmMmmmmmm... and with the PS hooked up to my computer music collection Ooooooohhh man. I can picture it already! Good times all around
