    wellcome to the zone yayamaya
    Thx for the link.

    the far higher resolution textures and big screen presentation really ups the immersion levels.
    How right he is ! HD displayed on a massive sony lcd into SL conference room + internal view phantom = no words can explain the pleasure you get

    Welcome. You just made a bunch of friends with your entry.

    Is it just me or does the track surface look at times a bit too much like fabric or leather?

    Wow, this has me excited! Looks like a total hoot.

    I'm a bit worried about the North American release of Wipeout HD being much later from the PAL release-- I'm more than willing to import Wipeout Pulse from PAL territories to play on a region-free PSP but I'm unlikely to import a region-locked PS3 to play Wipeout.... (I'm assuming the PS3 is region locked....)

    It will be a downloadable game. And if it's not in the American store... weeell... no I don't want you to make a 2nd account for the European Store because that's probably not approved

    I wonder why they'd preview the Games Convention demo three months after the world's already played or read about it. Waiting for real news here!

    Every time I see that first picture (or any picture on that track), all I can think is "racing down the bowling lane".
    It looks the same wooden strip flooring used in bowling alleys.

    I'm hoping it'll generate a better impression on my HD TV. 8 )

    Ready? Race!

    Maybe because they're down unda?
    Was it really the same demo they previewed?
    I'm kind of diappointed with the soundtrax so far. Dunno if kraftwerk is groovy with wipeout. I was hoping for more underworld and instumental prodigy again.

    I'm not into Kraftwerk that much either, but their are some good ones within the bunch... and, like always, you can always upload your own music onto it...

    Sorry if I offend someone. I had to.

    SL texture sources revealed!

    Somebody else may insert here the bowling shoe since I'm bordering the 50kb limit.

    The shiny bowling alley look of the track surface is an effect called 'specular'.
    Most decent new games render specular on surfaces.

    EDIT: Also, I think the snow on Sebenco Climb might have been dropped because when in Pure, the snow caused mega frame rate problems. For me at least. Also, you can see the work they put into the architecture much better.

    LOL and yep. Sony sent around the GC demo as preview code.

    Hell, yes, the Kraftwerk track is among the best of the (Pulse, and therefore probably HD) soundtrack! It flows so seemingly simple and unimpressive at first, but as it gets going develops a lot of power and tension. One of my favorites - second only to Seven Stitches from Noisia. To me, the music has a more "cluby" feel to it than the previous ones - it's more technical (like the tracks) and less "trancy". Love it.

    I think the word G'Kyl is looking for is: Breakbeat. (To describe the music)

    And from what I've heard, the soundtrack sounds fantastic.
    By the way, the Kraftwerk song is a remix of the real Aero Dynamik. The remix sounds so much better,

    Re: Sebenco

    That looks like an old shot. I'm pretty sure there's drifting snow now.
