Racebox and proper online lobbies so we can get some WoZ races going
I think I'm going to buy PS4
B)
Same, time to buy a ps4. xD
Hello there, this is really good news.
I saw the first guy on stage wearing a Wipeout T Shirt, I jumped on my couch and was hoping so much.
My hopes got quickly ruined... I'll take the game of course, but it's still disappointing.
Like some wipers said, we can hope for a racebox and decent online lobby for all the games.
Will be interested to see what this means for the leaderboards if they're still in the collection. I'm guessing all records will be reset and the released version will likely be what the speed was during the vita cross play patch, and no "exploits" will be available to roll back to. Gonna be a good fight for those early top spots!
This is a pretty easy move. It will most probably turn out okay because WipEout isn't a massive game to rework in this manner but this is definitely an easy remaster version compared to other efforts we have seen in the past.
When I saw the rumor on Neogaf a very faint hope of mine was that it was going to include the PSP content because I think it really deserves it too. Unfortunately not the case.
I am not sure where Sony stands on granting discounts to owners of base game like some other devs are, but I hope they aren't planning on this being a full retail price release anyways considering the usual popularity of the franchise right now and the unfortunate consequences it entailed years ago.
A unified experience is something still on the wishlist for this compilation, but considering the adapted content and the missed opportunity mentioned above, I doubt that it will be the case too. I think it might be a separate HDFury and 2048 online component after all due to the differences in overall gameplay.
It is good that the online services will get to continue for years to come of course, at least I hope this release means a guarantee of this.
I hope that the cheat like shortcuts found in HD Fury were all fixed too. It's been years but yeah I hope the message went through to the end.
My overall impression of this announcement is still somewhat optimistic, but my hopes aren't soaring. I wish it well in the end so that a true future title may emerge, but I am really not sure if a remaster might be enough to bolster the popularity (and this is especially dependent on the price + possible goodwill).
I want that shirt.
I too was hoping for a new entry in the series. But this is something. Especially if they can fix some of 2048's problems. If priced right, it should garner the series some seriously needed goodwill. (Did you hear the audience cheers?!) Right now, I'm just happy to see WipEout return to prominence in any form. I'll wish for a new game later. :)
Besides, it'll look gorgeous in 4k!
awesome but not new but again, 2048 with full screen, even better hopefully with online and hoping for pure and pulse put together, that would be amazing! fingers crossed.
stevie:)
My dear god, finally i can play wipeout on my ps4!!! ;-;
