    Default New screens from HD press version

    Not sure if this is worth a new thread, but this finnish site posted few screenshots taken via photo-mode from pre-release version of HD:

    Zone mode looks awesome!
    I miss the all-glass underwater tunnel with those beautiful refractions, though.

    I find that I like both of these tunnels:

    The black track surface looks like rubber.

    i hope that isn't the final HUD, it's terrible!

    the graphics look insane for this game, but the most exciting image for me was at the top, that stretched out landscape one, THAT looked like wipeout should!

    Game is looking awesome

    But i'm gonna have to go with the 'wtf have they done to the hud' crew
    Also, i think the blue bit at the top is the new shield meter?

    But if it is, then what is with the percentage at the bottom right of the screen next to the speedo? (it reads 0 by the way). Is this a new game mechanic?

    Cool

    Ugh, eww, the HUD, it looks like...something from...*shudder-gag* Fusion.
    Don't like the style. And although I love the backgrounds and ships, I just can't seem to like the organic-look track surfaces.

    Hey, I liked fusion's hud. But this one has all manner of different colours and reminds me of 80s 90s style things.

    I think Fusion is bringing back bad memories as a console flop.

    Yes - I was laughed off when I pointed this out, so I guess those of us that play HD will get to party like it's 2002 all over again.

    holy crap. this last batch of screens looks pretty much like a finished product to me, which is good and bad at the same time. Good because it means we micht get HD sooner than we thought (and the game does look GREAT), and bad because it seems that this really seems to be the final HUD design.
    I usually don't say things like this, because usually it does the person it's pointed at wrong but: whoever is responsible for the HUD design - you were the wrong person for the job, sorry. This is simply TERRIBLE. And this is also something that destroys the whole game for me. Its like putting one foul cherry on an otherwise perfect cake. YUCK!

    Does anyone know Finnish to tell us if there's something interesting here?


    PS: english link on IGN:http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/859/859617p1.html (sorry if it isn't new)

    Looks like it's time for previews:http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3166952&p=37
    I guess we won't have to wait for too long. My bet is on April.

    Yes, the HUD is terrible. Not stylish, not WipEout.
    Why not take something simple?

    But there's one good thing about it: The weapon indicator does not seem to slide in like in Pure and Pulse. That's really important for fast gaming.

    Nothing you can't find translated in that 1UP article already (It's by same guy after all). Except they used wip3out soundtrack, Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation and Bomfunk MC's Super Electric in their custom playlist. Which was nice.

    EDIT: Oh gosh he mentions it on the picture text, lol.

    Is that a dual-hulled Feisar in the third picture down in the first set?
    Did I miss something by not getting, or being interested in any way in, Pulse?? I thought Feisars were going to look the same... for ever!

    I actually don't mind the look of the HUD. But the visibility needs to be improved definitely. There's no way most people could make any of that out mid-race.
