Wipeout HD

[Barrichello]

I'm sure its been discussed but couldn't find the thread on search, but have to say Wipeout HD is shaping up nicely for its release in April.

New trailer released.

Also some nice screenies

Glad they not gone overboard trying to change the fundamentals of the game. Just classic Wipeout with new tracks at ultra smooth 60fps in 1080p HD, crank the sound up and bring it on

I'm looking forward to this but didn't you find that the first game just got very boring after 1 hour?

I think they're doing the right thing making it a PSN release. I can only see myself playing it in short bursts... not something I'd want to spend much on, but looks fun.

I agree. Its one of those games that you just pick up and play and come back to from time to time, but great fun. (turn the music up load) Good idea being released on PSN, most rumours seem to price it tentatively at about £15. Looking forward now to the Online racing mode as well (i know a old work mate of mine we used to play split screen on is going to want to race me again) they were the days. Going to be cool now playing online.

Some amazing in game action below, quality of clips don't do this justice ofc - just trying to imagine it in full 1080p

Really cant wait for this baby. Def day1 purchase...

I was always fairly disappointed with the various Wipeout releases, they were great fun in short doses, but I got bored very quickly.

It always seemed to me to be more of a game that the Sony marketers would have loved (demanded ?!), and they always got the hype right. Fancy graphics and sound, but a wee bit thin in terms of gameplay.

Used to love Wipeout 2017 on the PS1. Can't wait for this

Some great new footage of the upcoming tracks. Vineta K looks especially cool - show here in Zone mode. Good sountracks and looks beautiful - even though this footage is in a "compressed" format. Makes me imagine how it will look in full 1080p

8 tracks is a bit disappointing for a racing game... especially with blu-ray's storage capability...

I thought it was a PSN only release (i.e. small and relatively cheap)?

I wonder if the few tracks being included will mean that lots there will be lots of DLC they will want us to buy, ie tracks etc.
