Joins Crysis, Wii Sports, Warioware Touched!, Perfect Dark Zero and the first PSP Wipeout on the list of the most overhyped tech demos on their respective platforms in this generation.

"Release date? "

September 25th. Only US date has been confirmed, but I'll bet the EU date is the same on this one.

I've been waiting a year for this game so, needless to say, this is an absolutely essential must-have for me (especially at a measly £12) but WHEN IS IT OUT, EG? I mean it's reviewed so it must be imminent, right? Is it released this Thursday? I hope so... :)

this series is one of the reasons I would get this console. Really looks incredible. That sixaxis control sounds a bit lame as per all sixaxis controls but the game itself looks heaven. However with all the quality 360 titles coming out in the next 2-3 months I need to put a limit somewhere.

The reviewer makes a good point about graphical performance but for car games i have always said reguardless of resolution, you need 60fps for it to feel fantastic, as with any game that contains high speed fast reaction gameplay.

Oh and the game runs at 1080p @ 60 fps, which is impressive, but have the devs fixed the screen tearing that was apparent in the earlier videos. I mean it's all very well having a stunning looking, technically impressive game but the whole thing is ruined if there's tearing or bad slowdown IMO.

Finally something I'll be playing on the glorified blu-ray/DVD upscaler besides movies.. and, oh, yes - Blood Siren.

Is this a download? Or a boxed release?

Looks great, shame everything takes so long to download on the PSN (or should that be POS?).

No mention of Zone mode?
Also, split screen has no impact on framerate? Apart from halving it, you mean?

This + LBP = the reason I'm buying a PS3.

Glad to hear it runs so smoothly too.

Anyone know if it still has the instrumental of 'Firestarter'? Actually, how come that review made no mention of the music whatsoever, eh? Naughty Dan.

Anyways, this will be first on the PSN purchase list when I commit to a PS3. Now come on Sony and release a good LBP bundle...

Woohoo! Seems like an eternity waiting for this. SCEE should release it this week, give us some time before the onslaught of games leading up to Xmas. Do it SCEE!

Download.

This is a must have for sure! Wonder if we'll see multiplayer functionality enhanced and patched over time? Seems to be fairly standard fare nowadays.

The soundtrack was bang up to date, usual breaks efforts in there (so think Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs stuff), the frankly awesome Fenix Funk by Aphex Twin, Booka Shade etc. So plenty of trendy stuff, a balance between firing breaks and minimal stuff.

Think the soundtrack looks the same or at least similar to the Pulse one.

Guessing it has custom soundtracks so I can bolster it with my large swarms of minimal techno!

Agree. But the game support custom soundtrack... time to dust off the Wipeout + Wipeout 2097 soundtracks ;)

as for the music question, get hold of wipeout 2097 for the PS1 (it runs on the PS3 too, I've tested it :-D) then copy the tracks to your PS3 - voila, custom soundtrack using the tracks from the best version of Wipeout to-date...

I didn't see any tearing or slowdown at all.

All,

This is exclusive to Playstation Store, donwload only... there is no blu-ray release version.

Also, somebody said that this was overhyped? As was a few other games from the PC and Wii and PS3 only... do us a favour mate, run back to the Halo website... there's plenty of kids there having a mic-fight right now and I thought you'd might wanna join in with them!

pro tip for anyone with wipeout 2097: ps3 recognises it as an audio disc as well as a game disc so you can rip the soundtrack to the hdd with no hassles.

We have explosive = contenders mutherfucking eliminated

Anyone heard of any plans to release this on disc? I'm really old fashioned, and would prefer a nice boxed copy if one is going to be available.

EDIT - Ah, cheers Red!

I want it on disc because I can't be bothered with the inevitable hassle of upgrading my PS3's hdd when it finally runs out of space.

Can't be any worse than how harsh FZero GX was.
I'd hope that the bigger screen, fps and resolution will actually assist in dealing with these speeds!
