WipEout HD + Fury Expansion – Cross-Play with PSVITA WipEout 2048 (video demo!) - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

Shin-Ra · 02-22-2008, 12:29 AM

I think it was EGM or 1UP who originally broke the news about WipEout HD and they said a fuller Blu-ray game was also in development or at least planned. There's nothing more than that.

I expect WipEout HD will be supported with a lot of DLC like MotorStorm while they go full-on into development of WipEout 4 or whatever they call it.

Track descriptions at the link.

Shin-Ra · 02-23-2008, 01:52 AM

I'm always replacing the old screens with the new ones by the way so if you want to compare to the old ones you'll have to look elsewhere, sorry!

richieb1971 · 02-23-2008, 02:03 AM

Stop it Shin-Ra, stop it now..

Shin-Ra · 02-23-2008, 02:05 AM

The ship shadows are nice and crispy now.

Compared to some of the first screenshots released..

Ha! Die bad shadows, die.

PS3-Playb3yond · 02-23-2008, 02:20 AM

I like this game. It looks pretty good. Graphics looks awesome too.

TRACKS

A selection of the best tracks taken from previous WipEout titles, meticulously crafted and fully reworked from the ground-up to showcase the full-HD resolution.

Vineta K – On the southern shores of Makana Island, the circuit at Vineta K snakes in and out of the ocean and across the beaches. The highlights of this 4.4km track include spectacular underwater tunnels and cutting-edge architecture along the waterfront.
Chenghou Project –The feature-packed circuit at Chenghou Project weaves its way around the offices and corporate buildings of Makana Island's business district. The 4.8 km track contains a tricky inverse-cambered spiral and culminates in a long jump into the tunnelled entry of the final chicane.
Sebenco Climb – The 4.8 km Sebenco Climb track is cut into the hillsides of Makana's Sebenco mountain range. It features a steep traverse up the snowy mountainside, followed by a breathtaking plunge into an icy tunnel carved through the very heart of the mountain. The final section takes pilots through a challengingly tight chicane before they swing back onto the grid.
Sol 2 – The 4.4 km Sol 2 circuit hangs suspended in the clouds high above Makana Island. Consisting of a series of fast-flowing, occasionally open-sided corners linked by sweeping straights, the combination of harsh sunlight and blind summits ensure that Sol 2 is a test of nerve for every speed class.
Ubermall – In the heart of Makana Island's commercial zone is Ubermall, a 4.6 km circuit built into a vast shopping centre. The latter half of the track contains a brief split which rejoins into a narrow hill, followed by an outdoor park section that leads swiftly to the finish.
Anulpha Pass – The 5 km Anulpha Pass track is located in a custom-built entertainment arena on the east side of Makana Island. Although the track looks deceptively simple from above, the undulations of the track surface and narrow skill-cut are enough to keep any racer on their toes.
Moa Therma – The immense man-made complex of Moa Therma is located just off the northern coast of Sicily, with around a third of the track surface built using mag-strip technology. The centrepiece of this 5.3 km circuit is the gigantic horizontal loop which sits just above sea level.
Metropia – The 4.7 km Metropia circuit weaves its way between the skyscrapers and traffic control towers that dominate the Kyoto skyline. Glass-bottomed track surfaces and a stunning vertical mag-strip drop into the depths of the city are just two of the highlights of this popular track.

FEATURES

The only thing im slightly disappointed with is 8 player max. Still, holy shit i want this game. Photo mode, 5.1 soundtrack, custom playlists, DLC. I love it

Shin-Ra · 02-23-2008, 05:37 AM

I'm not sure you'd want more than than with the strong possibility of everyone bunching up and firing weapons off at the same time.

Shin-Ra · 02-24-2008, 04:24 AM

Egg on the WipEout-Zone forums appears to be from Studio Liverpool so if you read through his posts you should find some small nuggets of info. He may not be the only one.

Shin-Ra · 03-06-2008, 04:57 PM

There's a luscious 1080p 60fps copy of the most recent trailer on the Euro PS Stores.

phranctoast · 03-06-2008, 06:22 PM

when the hell is this game going to be out already!!!!!!!???

Will it have split screen MP or just online MP?

Shin-Ra · 03-06-2008, 06:28 PM

Only online multiplayer announced so far which probably means LAN play's supported too.

richieb1971 · 03-07-2008, 12:38 AM

There is an awesome trailer for this on UK PSN right now

Shin-Ra · 03-07-2008, 12:52 AM

60fps trailers are so rare it's a real treat.

Egg and another Studio Liverpool guy on the WipEout Zone forum said the trailer was from an older build than the recent screenshots and they're still adding effects and polishing things up.

Man I am just friggin' buzzing for this game.
There's still not much going on at the official www.wipEoutHD.com website, but I'm freakin' buzzin' man, I'm freakin' buzzin'!!! I need an HD WipEout fix and this game looks totally amazing!
If this is what the downloadable version will be like, the real thing will be SCHWEET!!

Trust me, that looks crap compared to the video on the Euro store they recompressed their version from.

dobyblue · 03-12-2008, 07:02 PM

I pulled out my original copy of WipEout just the other day, racing with Paul Jackson.

What a kick-ass game. I loved the old orange symbol for turbo boost.

XL was the first one that got seriously fast though. I once raced a lap of Canada on PHantom in 18.1 seconds. I believe that's quite a bit slower than the fastest lap ever done on the game, but it was friggin' fast let me tell you...it almost felt like a perfect lap.

18.1 seconds!
