Exclusive: WipEout HD - Trailer

Want it. Looks great.

Looks like classic Wipeout action, in HD...
Exactly what I wanted tbh, no point screwing around with an already spot on formula.

Looks great, bring it soon please. :(

Played this the other day. Is as beautiful as it looks. So smooth!

Go to bed then, gramps.

Fuck me sideways this is one of the main reasons I bought a PS3, when, when WHEN!

/Giddyometer explodes

I AM SEXUALATING IN THE GROIN AREA!!

60 fps in 1080p? That IS impressive!

Release date?!!?

just cum in me pants!

ill be buying this one without a doubt

....8 tracks?

For me, Wipeout's about really mastering tracks, so only having a few tracks suits me just fine. Definitely better than the cynical white/black thing in Pulse.

Just cum in my socks!

As long as nothign goes horribly wrong beforehand, this will sell me PS3 on release.

argh! i want this but still no better release date than 2008!

Meh, looks clean but nowt special

Looks fucking lovely. I've never been a *huge* fan this series; I have Wip3out, but never really bothered with the others because I found it a bit too difficult. However, the prospect of 8-player online games is bloody enticing, and this has just been added to my list of wanted for when I finally get a PS3.

Isn't it going to be download & retail, like Warhawk?

Ah yes, my racer first game series with polygons that I played. Happy days.

@trigger - just download afaik.

one thing i hope they do (which i know thry won't) is have voice overs localised to the tracks... so if you're on a track that's meant to be in russia you get a russian announcer etc... the posh brit VO just kind of grates somehow (at least in pulse it does)

Dribbles. Me heart wipeout

That's some nice looking FMV right there!

But when do we get to see some in-game footage?

:oP

I also think this is a strong case for a new online Rollcage. C'mon Sony, no-one would argue with that!

And a new G-Police, while I'm at it.

looks solid

9/10

8 tracks is pretty bloody good as far as I'm concerned! No mention of custom soundtracks, though.

I loved the original Wipeout back in '95 (can't remember if I've tried any of the later versions). I remember my girlfriend and I renting a PSOne plus Wipeout and Tekken on more than a few occasions.

Is this HD version supposed to be a regular boxed release or will it be a download from the PSN shop?
Maybe I just haven't been paying attention (possibly because I've only had a PS3 for a month :)), but I think this is actually the first I've heard of it.

THIS is how you write a system selling game.

60fps, 1080p, 5.1 sound, and exclusive to PSN.

fingers crossed that one of the 5 game modes is "no stupid bloody weapons just racing on smooth, demanding tracks like the first game"

I am looking forward to playing this, A LOT!!!!! I never really "got" Wipeout until I played Pure on a PSP, I liked it; especially as I when playing multiplayer against three of my friends..

Impressive. The first trailer looked like it was old gen in HD. Now this definitely looks current gen. Can't wait.

F**K YEAH!

Want.

Looks to me as if these were just HD versions of the Pulse tracks. I mean the exact Pulse tracks, all those corners look so familiar.

looking good,demo please sony.

@ 4thVariety:

Yes, as soon as it was originally announced, they told us that there are no new tracks in Wipeout HD. They're a collection of tracks from Pure and Pulse.

Which is fine by me :)

OMG. Just watched this on mute whilst listening to Firestarter instrumental. It still works so well.

Custom soundtracks please.

BTW release date is currently "Apr-Jun 2008" according to Sony.

Very, very dated and bland IMO.

Seems like everybody has the "Exclusive".

If sony give me a way to plug my negcon pad in then I will go and buy a PS3.

Looks like it may go back to the glory of 2097, its been a bit off ever since.

This is looking great, can't wait. Is definately looking alot better than it did a few months ago.

This is pretty much the only game that could tempt me into buying PS3. This and a proper sequel.

Ooooh, something to buy a PS3 for!

Only 8 tracks, but I'll eat every hat in the world if they don't release several more as DLC. Hopefully at a fair price.

Hmm so it's wipeout in HD, no innovation, nothing new. may as well release straight to budget label. Not impressed I'm afraid.

:(

I want a PS3.

Not enough mind.

Mnnn no that many tracks or?

@Gavilan - Hilariously, it's being released as a budget PSN title, though pricing's not confirmed, it's highly unlikely to be a full priced game. I just love destroying ignorance.

Looks great. I cant wait to play it with the Dualshock3.

Thats why I bought that Full HD Plasma. :)
Release is still somewhere in Q2 according to eu.playstation.com. :(
