According to some, that '12' number for the tracks might be stretching it.
4 regular tracks, reversed to make 8, then a 'Zone' version for each track would give you your 12. Still sounds like a fantastic update though, and I'll be downloading as soon as PSN updates. Shatter is out the same day isnt it? It'll make up for last weeks rubbish update if it is. |

I checked my trophies for this the other night, and they were referring to Fury modes, got my hopes up that it was out already -_-

I don't like the way DLC on the PSN lowers your % rating on the game.. I was on 61% & now its gone to 50something beacuse this expansion has been released. It woud be much better if your % just went above 100.

can't believe ppl are complaining about 8 quid for this. i've played wipeout hd more than any full price game on my ps3 by MILES. and this update looks to be the same frakin size as the original game was. win all round and bye bye productivity methinks. the online experience isn't great, byt imho wipeout's strengths are the old splitscreen two player spliff on the couch with your flatmates modes.

I agree - WOHD was/is fantastic and was priced very cheap for the amount of content and modes. But the Fury pack only contains 4 new unique tracks (the full game has 8) and 12 variations. also the 4 new tracks are also remade Pure/Pulse tracks - not completely new ones. Still a pretty fair price considering the new gamemodes, music, tracks, etc.... maybe not cheap but fair :) Looking forward to see the new online modes and features. |

^Well, it's more because the main game was such a good price to begin with. Studio Liverpool can't win here, it seems. £8 is a steal.

Good Price for Good Game.
Seriously, Wipeout HD is one of the best most surprisingly good games I've played this generation. After being a F Zero stalwart for generations this was the Wipeout that won me over to the dark side. And I'm enjoying every evil momoent of it. this couldn't come out soon enough for me. Roll on Thursday.

Have to say, I'm one of the people who said that wipeout HD was too cheap. But I did forget one very significant factor (that's starting to dawn more and more as downloadable games become prevalent) which is that you can't sell the games when you're done.
As a wipeout freak this doesn't bother me at all (as I don't sell my copies of wipeout on) but for other games this may become a problem... |

Considering the price of the game and the content in the fury pack, I think £8 is more than justified. Can't wait for Thursday! :D

I really liked Wipeout HD but the failure of online scores to update correctly really put me off. Has this been fixed yet?
The idea was that me and a friend could compete on courses but alas we had to text each other our lap times instead. He never bought the game because of this, just stopped playing the demo. I soon went off the game myself. A real shame as everything else about the game was breathtaking. No £8 from me I'm afraid. |

The only thing that is putting me off is that i completed all of the tracks, but some of the races were just too difficult to complete and get the trophies on. So I dont want to spend more money when i havent finished the previous one.
Is this update going to make it any easier (e.g faster ships on the older tracks?) |

They added invites to the online as well as badges and ranks, so possibly they fixed the other things too. Definatley worth an update and a play if youve not played it for a long time .
