The file is just under 1Gb in size, should anyone need to clear some space on their HDD.

"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."

1) You CAN delete stuff! ;)

2) Upgrade to a bigger HDD. It's easy and cheap. I recommend it!

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

I'm never having problemes downloading from PSN. Faster that XBL for some strange reason ... and I have a gold account.

These games have always given me TERRIBLE motion sickness...i mean, seriously throwing up after 20 mins.

Hate to think it would do to me sat in front of a 42' 1080p @ 60fps...!!!!!

@dsmx: "OMG a good ps3 game must phone the xbox 360 defence squad."

Oh shush. I've had a 360 since launch and I've been after this game since I saw the videos on the 1up Show.

Yes because all games should be aimed at your precise skill level rather than offering a variety of levels to suit everyone ...

How does the playing your own music thing work, then, Mr. Whitehead? If I pop some AFX in there, will it just play in the background as it would if I were listening outside of the game regardless of where I am in the game, or will the tracks be played intelligently (beginning/ending when races begin/end, sound FX still on)?

Exactly how easy is it to bung in a larger drive in terms of copying stuff across and so on as Im all up for getting more space..... Is it a 3.5" SATA?

never had the reactions to be that great at wipeout, but good on em getting it working smoothly at 1080p.

i will say with the design of the cars and the tracks, they wouldn't need to be very high polygon models would they? i mean all the vehicles look boxy in some way. they're future cars. that's how they look etc.

1080p Gran Turismo would be something else tho.

PS3 is 2.5" SATA drive so any Laptop HD would do and you can get some huge ones now for fairly cheap.

As there are only 8 tracks will there be more to come as DLC? So in the end will you end up spending as much as proper game anyway. Just a thought

Anyway love Wipeout and look forward to getting this.

Is it more about the racing or the combat? I always thought that Wipeout was very unfair in it’s balance.

"In other words, WipEout HD looks f**king phenomenal."


Awesomeness awaits!

Maybe, even the arrogant farticusmaximus will come around and get him self a PS3 soon?

@ Widge and Beano re: music

Ta guys. Custom soundtracks here I come!

On a related note, does anyone have any DLNA / UPNP certified devices in their home and successfully streamed music as a custom soundtrack to their PS3. Just that I'm probably gonna go the Windows Home Server route and stick all my music on that - would be cool to fly round, listening to Chemical Brothers streamed off a server, rather than having to copy all my music to yet *another* device.

/shakes fist at 360. Gently, mind - don't wanna break it.

Buying this on day of release, just hope the store updates earlier than usual and doesn't rollover to friday like last week :(...
Have there been any other games running 1080p at 60fps, if not they should take a leaf out of studio liverpool's book cus' i've heard alot recently about dev's only utilising 30-50% of the PS3's potential.

P.S. Re: HDD upgrade took me 2 mins to swap drives to a seagate 250gb, it's so simple, youtube it, and it only cost £50 which is an absolute bargain, but we'll see how much space is left after i start using playtv this week :)

"Nice one Sony. Another must have game for Ps3. "

Could someone pass me a bucket.


Can't wait to see this game in the flesh (so to speak), as I don't think screenshots do it justice. Also, £12 = bargain. I wonder if people would prefer a 'full' game with more tracks, campaigns etc.

EDIT: I should stipulate that I mean 'full price'.

I haven't played a WipEout game since whichever one was out on the old PS1. I'm glad this WipEout HD has turned out rather good, and also that it supports offline multiplayer (thank you!) as now I can finally put the PS3 to use in a time where good games haven't been released since Metal Gear Solid 4, for me (and I involve all consoles in that comment).

What licensed music does the game come with? I intend ripping transferring my Wipeout 2097: The Soundtrack CD over from my PC onto to my PS3 (once I sort out this 8003041C error which is preventing me from copying MP3s to its HDD, that is) but I'm still curious as to who is on the default soundtrack. The Wipeout music has always been superb IMO.

To say that I'm excited would be a huge understatement. I've been looking forward to this for months - playing Pulse on the tiny PSP screen just isn't quite the same :).

I own both a 360 and a PS3 and have to say that 360-only owners should be a little jealous of LBP and Wipeout HD. The fanboys may deny it but it's nice to have some excellent exclusives at last

Totally forgot about this bad boy...
Perhaps the whole "Sony only have LBP" comments are a little of the mark. This game has a lot of fans and although not a system seller could tempt more people into PS3.

Glad this has worked out. It was the reason I bought my ps3 - only a mere 6 months late! Thankfully burnout has been entertaining me greatly lately but this is the real king of speed racing...wahey!

@evilfoxhound "Yeah, custom soundtracks are welcome for a Wipeout game. I'm one of the few gamers who hates that Pill-head dance crap. "

I'm no fan of dance/rave/whatever kids call it today music; but this game fits that genre so well.

You're comparing a futuristic racing game to an action-adventure shooter? A little silly."

Better than Halo. It makes much more sense now. :D
