    well the HD tralier is what 250mb for just 1m.30s of video footage so i'm guessing the intro alone will be about that.

    There are demos on PS Store that are 1.3GB and probably even bigger. GT5 Prologue are around 4-5GB, isnt it? If they have had big sizes until now why would that suddenly change..

    But yeah they said the game will be pretty small.

    About five posts above your one - it was a throwaway comment by lochiebrad that, for some reason, seems to have been accepted as fact.

    A glaring example of how internet rumours are so successful - people believe any old bollocks they read on the 'net.

    yeah lets end the rumour

    Fact

    Wipeout HD is less than 1gig, so now you have it from the studio director and the lead designer, so there should be no reason for any more speculative 5gig nonsense

    Great to hear Colin! At least it won't bust such a massive amount of our download quota

    Yeah sorry for throwaway 5gig, but I did say it was a guess!

    But wow that's pretty amazing that it's under 1 gig... What's all this sony PR rubbish about bluray being the future of games because of how much it can store... it seems that in this age of downloadable content, games are getting smaller.

    Back to the point, though; are you going to buy wipeout HD, even if you may find yourself a little dissapointed? What price would you settle for?

    FYI for Melbourners I am with TPG 18gig 1.5Mb/s. But they're cheap and give me about 8gig before cutting me off I swear. Plus the ping is a nightmare for some reason so I can't play online easily.

    Yeah yeah lets not forget HD is only 8 tracks, short tracks catered to PSP tastes.

    After it is installed and it is sitting ready to be played, it is less than 1 gig

    As RR says, Some games are small in size, some large, depends on the game

    Just because Wipeout is small it doesnt mean blu ray is a 'rubbish PR exercise' thats just bad logic

    Of course you dont need Blu ray for tetris, but you cant expect to comfortably download GTA IV or Burnout Paradise for example

    Makes sense when you think about it. I even find it hard to fathom the mysterious PS3 Wipeout thats rumored to be coming at some stage could even half fill a 50 gig Blu Ray disk. No matter what the detail or how uncompressed the audio it just doesn't seem the type of game that will ever need all the space.

    Games like future GTAs could potentially fill it due big maps with lots of details etc.

    Note: I was not accepting the 5GB size as fact, I was merely discussing the fact that WipEout HD weighing more than 1GB was quite improbable. Maybe you misunderstood that, but as Colin stated, it doesn't so it turns out I am right, and it should be close to Warhawk's size, which is around 800MB. I would be pleasantly surprised if it was less

    Wow that is awesome news that it is less than a gig , woo
    Thanks Colin for being active in these forums , not many game dev
    companies post on fan forums .
    Anyway back to the topic I am a bit disappointed with the look of the physics
    looks like it is too stuck to the floor , but as everyone discussed doesn't look like that good old floatyness will return cos of QA , however we will only truly know what it feels like once it is out . But zone mode has me sold

    HD is floatier and a little bouncier (not like a bouncy ball) than Wipeout has been for a while. Its not Wipeout 3 floaty, but its more so than Pure or Pulse, especially as you move up in speeds (and of course more than fusion). There are sections in ubermall and in sebenco that allows for a LARGE amount of air time for example.

    wow that sounds very tony hawks, air time, how Rad

    Thanks Colin! That's really cool, I can't wait for this game It's probably the only reason I'm getting a DualShock 3 since the guys at 1Up have mentioned that it rumbles when pitch is incorrect. Can you confirm this?

    For my preference, Wipeout 3 was ideal in floatiness.

    Agree, Wip3out had it all right but the feel of the crafts in Pulse is awsome to, in it's own way.

    What I truly miss isn't the floatyness, It's the way the crafts didn't vertically align with the track...
