According to this

...nine PSP titles figuring in the UK's All Formats Top 10...The top honours went to Namco's Ridge Racer, with Sony's Wipeout Pure at No.3

My congratulations to Studio Liverpool. I hope the game keeps this pace until Christmas and the total sales make it the most successful WO ever.

I second that. Its wonderful to see Wipeout returning from the near-dead in such a way: a commercial success, a great game true to its roots and, with the downloads, such a big, long-lasting game for us to enjoy. Well done Studio Liverpool.

I can already hear Lance sharpening his blades to manage the hordes of newbies. :

I'm sure this success will play an important role in the decission of making a new WO a launch title for the PS3.

[randomperson1]

I am very happy for studio liverpool and congratulate them for the sucess of pure.

By the way, WO is unlikely to be a launch title for ps3. It'll take a while to make.

And those PSP sales were absolutely huge!

didn't i read a post by either Colin or Egg many weeks ago saying that they were already working on the PS3 version?

[Mobius]

Nope, they said they weren't. But i beleive the studio are working on a PS3 F1 game if that is your thing.

[Vortex]

Studio Liverpool are indeed working on a F1 game for the PS3

However is there the possibility that a Wipeout game could be in the early stages of development also? I wouldn't like to speak for anyone else, but as much as I like the F1 games, I would rather see Wipeout on the PS3 and not just another annual F1 game.

well, it's one of my things.

Yes the sales of pure really are a good thing, the series will get the attention it deserves, we get new members, and the psp sales will get higher once the price drops and even more people will discover Pure.

Well me personally, seeing as how there hasn't been a new F1 game in the U.S. for three years, I'd take F1 over Wipeout.

*points at door* GET OUT!

j/k :wink:

[Drakkenmensch]

BLASPHEMY!!!

He he he... seriously, I've always had a thing where I prefer my racing games to be totally sci-fi instead of realistic reproductions of real-life racing categories.

I hope we didnt .. . .

We are working on working out what we will be working on next

And when we've worked it out, we wont be able to tell anyone anyway

[mclarensmps]

I too am really really happy for studio liverpool, i was thinking that WOP will probably be one of those underground following type games, but i was taken aback by the response it has gotten and im soooooooo glad for it. IT can only mean good things coming for us in the future.

As for the F1 games, that is AWESOME news. I've been dying for a good F1 sim to come out and now i cant wait for the the release of F1 for PS3 by these guys. Psygnosis made my all time favorite F1 game and i have really really high expectations from Std. Liverpool to live up to past standards just as they did with WOP.

That news just made my day =)

F1, eh? is Nick still working on that?

I've never been a real fan of realistic driving sims and have always loved sci-fi racers but i'm thinking about getting the GT for psp when it comes out. Being a US person i never really liked F1 but NASCAR was always to me just turn left and floor it.

[yawnstretch]

To be honest a F1 game doesnt interest me that much. They still all remind me of Nigel Mansell on the SNES (boring and samey)

[infoxicated]

We've come along way since then - Studio Liverpool's Formula One 2005 is as advanced as console racing games have ever been. Forget GT's wind-up toy AI, racing against the CPU cars in F105 is about as close to racing against real opponants as I've ever seen in a racing game.

You can also take it online and have races with 10 human players for that authentic experience.

Formula One: Boring racing series.
Formula One 2005: Great racing game.

Formula One: Boring racing series.

I take issue with that, sir.
[Slaps face with glove] I demand satisfaction!

[eLhabib]

well, compared to w'o'', Formula 1, as it is today (the sport in general, not just the game) does seem rather boring, doesn't it?
