    Default Clean HD racing video

    To get you your HD fix while you wait, look what I found:
    Swiss gaming site 2play.ch has a video of wipEout HD gameplay up, almost 10 minutes long, untainted of any annoying comments, just simple - and remarkably clean - racing. Maybe some of you can use this to get a better image of what this game is like (or was like, this is all preview build footage). Apart from the out-of-proportion ratio of the video and a few odd distortions, this is a pretty nice video, showing off different tracks and zone mode. You can also notice the sweet sound effects of the thrusters kicking in (after the hairpin at Chenghou (though it sounds way better on 5.1), and also the nice sound change when airborn.

    Interesting detail is that 2play.ch claims to know that wipEout HD is coming out mid-June. But I guess we can't believe a word they're saying there...

    Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the new version of WipEout HD, because if the delay has fixed my major issue with the game as it was, I might well relent and pick it up.

    Not before I see footage, though.

    Here is the link if streaming a 124 Mb file in 10 mins is an issue.

    Thanks eLhabib, that is a real good video. Nice track shots at the beginning of the video. I enjoyed a lot.

    I am really curious if HD is faster then Pulse and if we are able to beat times made with PSP on these tracks. So we should be able to beat times made on tracks from Pure easily.

    I was able to beat the Moa Therma lap time on the preview version after only a few days of playing, so I guess it is indeed a bit faster. Maybe this has changed since the preview build, though.

    Makes me want it even more. I really liked the way the colour schemes change on the track as you get to each new level in Zone.

    But I'm still not very keen on the Assegai model. :/

    The major issue?
    So you're saying they are actually thinking about removing Barrel Rolls???

    **** as they are, Barrel Rolls aren't a technical issue - they're a game design issue.

    well, you didn't say technical, you said my major issue with the game, and by now you are complaining about BRs in 2 out of 3 posts or so it seems
    So, what is your major issue with the game then?

    If you didn't spot it while you were reviewing it, then it wasn't an issue for you.

    I'm thinking about the HUD tbh. That's too bad though, if it ain't fixed...

    I didn't think it was as jarring as I've seen in previous footage.

    Well all the sound and lighting effects made that game rather beautiful and badass looking I think... And the turbo pad effect, really reflects how the pilot would really feel if run over one, nice idea... Hmm, interesting sound effects through the race... that effect with the music through tunnels and jumps kinda gives me a bit of an uneasy feeling though... just to state...

    I would probably want to marry it if their wasn't such a thing as the female, love and sex...

    Well, that's why it's your major issue
    My major issue with the preview code was the crappy HUD, and while I don't think they changed it completely, they did do some adjustments to the fonts.
    Other than that, I didn't really have any issues with it, so I'd really like to know yours!

    Still don't like the sounds of that issue.

    The HUD didn't seem THAT bad.

    I think part of the problem is that the video is 4:3 aspect ratio and also includes the overscanned part of the picture (not all of what you are seeing in the video would be visible on a TV screen).

    I'm sure if it is stretched to 16:9 it would be better.

    Just because it's 16:9 in reality it doesn't mean it fits to the rest of the game. And it doesn't.
    I accepted the HUD, but it's still unexplainable for me that the designers chose it.
