Release date (merged)

now there's an idea for marketing : include the option to send a photo-mode 'postcard' to an email adress in game...

Hahahaha exactly what I was thinking!!! Well what ever the wait for the game will be, I'm sure it will be good. I just hope they give us the chance to turn BR off. I want BR free multiplayer!!!

Heh!
Couldn't resist making my own version of that: clicky!

Sorry, don't know how to make thumbnails...

[Axel]

Nice!!!!!

[Skvall]

hah ^_^

[Darkdrium777]

eLhabib your postal card is very cool and reminds me of Uncharted that has different rendering filters you can unlock. What if WipEout HD had these unlockables too? I wouldn't mind playing the way it is shown in your card, it looks awesome

wow!!

Playstation Official Website no longer tells that Wipeout HD will be released on 29th May, now it tells that the release date is not confirmed. What's going on?

I have just read in polish console magazine that it will be realesed during vacation time due to work on online play.
I am dissapointed as well ....but I prefer to have perfect online play than some
fkn bugs.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but i've noticed that alot of PSN games don't ever get a street date and then just kind of appear on the update out of nowhere. Most of the time they don't announce what will be on the store untill just before the update on that day, or untill just after the update. So my question is: Will WipEout HD have an announced street date? Will the devs be able to tell us when the release is when they find out themselves? Or will WipEout HD be likely to just pop up whenever SONY feels the whim after development is complete?

[Skvall]

Both Warhawk and GT5Prologue had announced release dates. WOHD should have it too?

[Rapier Racer]

Yeah it should have one, remember this is not some little quicky five quid game here, it's supposed to be setting a benchmark for downloadable games on the PSN.

[mdhay]

Maybe it's not out yet because of the UK debt thingybob

[ColdRem'S]

Well, the game should be finished right now according to what Colin said last week. Just hope we'll have a date soon...It's beginning to get on my nerves...

[taqili]

I'm sure it frustrates the devs as well to not have their game ready when it's done, too.

I can honestly say that I am dreading the release of this game now – so they can take as long as they like to finish it.

I know that SL claim that the recent Gamersyde footage is from an old build but some of the ‘artistic decisions’ that have been made spoil the game for me.

The speed boost effect is ugly and ruins the smooth motion flow which is signature to the Wipeout series. I honestly feel slightly sick after watching the footage of Anulpha Pass – as the ship passes over the speed boost pads it yo-yos back and forth, the screen blurs and the HUD stretches and shakes. It’s a totally unconvincing visual effect, particularly for the external view mode. Why do SL insist on tinkering with the big screen console releases of Wipeout to the point where they lose the basic identity of what made the game great in the first place.

I hope that the release delay is due to some major changes to the gameplay. After all of that stunning imagery and gameplay footage from E3 last year it would be a shame if Wipeout HD followed in the footsteps of Fusion.
