    Default Release date (merged)

    So...er...now that Pulse is out...not that I am ungrateful for more PSP WipEout goodness...

    But do we have a relesea date for HD yet??? I am itching for some big screen WipEout. Basically bought my PS3 as soon as I heard about not 1 but 2 next-gen WipEouts in the works...

    Hopefully we will get HD before Christmas, cause that would be really nice of Studio Liverpool...

    Anyway...game on...

    Love the new WipEout dedicated website and love the new Pulse and love the looks of HD...

    Great to see that this franchise will not die anytime soon, the franchise that gave me reason to buy my PSOne, PS2 and now PS3...

    Aw well...one could hope...

    Guess this gives me more time to hone on Pulse...

    March is gonna be crazy for my PS3 then...WipEout HD, MGS4 and GTA4...choices, choices, choices...

    Long live anti-gravity racing I say...

    Now one more bit of unfinished work...Studio Liverpool...secure the rights to a new Rollcage!!! I know there are a fair few of us here who sorely miss it...next-gen power + destructive environment potential = Rollcage Heaven!!!

    QJ.NET say that it will come Q1 2008, but for the UK it will be delayed just like anything.

    Is HD going to be like Pulse is, and wait another couple of months before it releases in the US?

    This just seemed like an opportunity to say how FANTASTIC Wipeout Pulse is using the TV line-out on the PSP slim. It's no replacement for Wipeout HD but damn, it's looks surprisingly good on my modestly-sized 480p LCD TV.

    Hopefully the line-out option will keep me satisfied until HD is released

    It's worth the upgrade, IMO-- just for the tweaked d-pad alone The TV line-out is a great bonus.

    Hope you'll get a chance to get a PSP slim soon...

    According to eu.playstation.com the release now is Apr-Jun 2008.
    At least they should start some open beta anytime soon.

    A beta Wipeout HD? I think it's safe to say dream on.

    I had to buy a PSP slim to tide me over untill WipEout HD comes out (for the Video-Out feature)... I couldn't handle the anticipation!! I traded in my release-day PSP for it But I don't regret it! The PSP Slim is BADASS and I like it more than the original now.

    Default Why it's taking so long for release.

    Well here is my 2cents worth.

    Look at the whole release by Download only........

    What are the problems with this?

    1]Those who want the game but don't have internet assess.:-
    2]Those that do want the game....but are on Dial up.:-
    3]Those that want the game,have download speed,but have glitches whilst downloading...corrupt game [It happens,don't pretend it doesn't]
    4]Anybody that tells me that this game [running at TRUE 1080p] is going to be a 1 GB download is kidding themselves.

    I think a re think on how this game is going to be made available to the "Great Unwashed"=[That being you and I] has been under review for at least the last few months.

    Don't be surprised if this game ends up on a Blueray disc...Not a bad thing IMHO.

    i'm sure it was explained yesterday that it had been delayed due to 'some' extra work been done to the game. i think it'll still be a download only game. as to what the extra stuff is, is anyone's guess. most guess' seem aimed at the HUD, which to be fair is one of the things i think needs looking at.

    In all honesty.
    I think an solely adjustment in the HUD of the game would not explain the differential of release dates to the extreme that have progressed.

    Metal Gear Solid 4 has not been the Killer game in JP that SONY hoped.

    All "NOW' hopes are centered on a XMAS blitz with WIPEOUT HD.

    Self explanatory.

    MGS did not have the impact it should of because of one very vain reason.
    The JP WANT the very best [Highest Tec] a game can give.
    MGS was made to be reproduced at 720p.....that might not mean much to you or I.,but it does to the TEC HEAD JP people that buy games ....720p is OLD HAT...it has to be 1080p........Live in Japan for a while and know what commence.

    This is utter and complete bullsh*t. If you read around these boards, you will find information right out of Colin Berry's mouth (lead designer), stating that the game is indeed below 1 gig. Furthermore, I'm afraid, while wipEout may be a big deal to all of us here, it sure isn't for Sony. Maybe SCEE cares enough to even advertise it, but the rest of the world just doesn't care for this franchise. so forget the whole bluray speculation.
    I really don't think those changes have anything to do with the HUD either, that's an artistic choice, and even though I would love to see it changed, it'S THEIR work, and they would be stupid to listen to every nagging fanboy.
    Pretty sure these last changes have to do with nothing else but the very gameplay itself, maybe also some online tweaking. After all, a smooth gameplay is all that counts.

    Yes, but, a wipeout hd banner has been on the threespeech blog for almost as long as I can remember. That's a pretty big vote of confidence.

    Really? It sold 1.3 million day one in the US and has shipped over 3 million copied so far. Guess that is a pretty poor show.

    MGS4 is quite simply the best looking game released on any console this year IMO and 720p/1080p makes very little difference unless you have a 50" plazma or a projector setup.
