How many GB is Wipeout HD?

[omega329]

Egg, please could you not post any more pictures of Dr Evil? I have a phobia of him/Dr No. That picture made me feel horrible.
I know It's irrational, but I can't help it.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Lance-> I think you'll notice that each time it is a new user that asks this. So how bout Colin makes a post about everything WipEout HD he said already (No need to say more if he doesn't want to) and you sticky it at the top of this forum. So people will stop asking.

[Lance]

How about new users actually reading something to see what's been discussed instead of making uninformed comments?

Sticky topics that are not updated every day are ignored almost as much as the guidelines.

Does anyone know if HD is going to run on RCA signal? The Bladestorm demo was HD only, which has kinda spooked me for...WO HD.

[lunar]

I can`t believe that it would be HD only. That would be commercial suicide, but I don`t know any more than you, Chrono.

[Sausehuhn]

It's playable on SDTVs as well. Support up to FullHD.

Hey, does anyone know if WipEout HD will run on the PS3? I only ask, because I heard rumours that it will be a simultaneous release on PC, Wii, 360 and gameboy. I've only got dial-up, how long will it take to download? How much is 1Gb anyway? I love the way in WipEout, if you double tap the accelerate button, you can do a wheelie all the way to the first corner, and then hop out to run to your safe house, before nipping to the shops for some milk. Will this wheelie feature be implemented? I hope so, because it would be 4w350M3!

Please don't post when you're doing drugs. You're only making a fool of yourself.

[Rapier Racer]

WTF?? Drugs indeed.

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

Tchoh. It's excusable for the European to not get it, but for a resident of this fair isle? No excuses.

[eLhabib]

I guess 2 brain cells is enough to identify your weird post as a joke. However, even though I have somewhat above 2 brain cells, I fail to see the point.

[Egg]

I have several brain cells, and that post made me do a snort-laugh

Made a change from BR and HUD whining, anyway.

"Please don't post when you're doing drugs. You're only making a fool of yourself"

roflmao wheelies? I know pure kinda does this sometimes when I don't pitch down but seriously

[Lance]

I seem to detect a touch of sarcastic critique of credulous rumour lovers in NoEffinClu's post.

[omega329]

Norfolk'n'Clue I never saw that! allways thought it was one of those random meaningless things...
Well, Hopefully, I'm getting a freind with a PS3 to buy it, I lent him a usb cable to charge his controllers with (he lost his), so it's only fair I get somthing back

[taqili]

wow that really is brilliant.

i am so dumb.

[dobyblue]

you know last month when I said it was less than one gig

I wasnt lying

It is less than 1 gig

Any chance you can give us some technical info/jargon on how you've managed to get so many tracks looking so incredible at 1080p60 and still bring it in under 1GB?

Like, what sort of compression is being used, etc.

Is there any chance when/if a full WipEoutPS3 game comes out that it might feature uncompressed 7.1 audio and come on a BD?

I'm really looking forward to the Dolby 5.1 play on this game, but I drool to think of an all new WipEout game for PS3 with uncompressed PCM on it.

I would think none
After all he is a game developer and isn't going to give out his secrets to anyone else.

[Bytehawk]

I think a lot of the textures are a combination of procedural and bitmap texture-mapping.
since the ps3 can only hold
256 mb main ram
256 mb video ram (ie textures etc...)
so with 6 tracks you really shouldn't have more than 1GB of data considering the ship data stays the same on all tracks.

[Rapier Racer]

6 tracks? 8.
