[Lance]

Boffs like an Egyptian?
[tries to picture it... uh, on second thought, dOesn't try to picture it. Not even on a tomb wall. ]

[Sch@dows]

Thank you collin. I figured the "extra content" was the planned DLC, but i though there were still others tracks (more Pure/Pulse remake) in SL's hand.
Well, we just have to wait n_n.

Plus I imagine that levels of this detail would take a while to make. Possibly. It's not like modeling Karbonis for the original.

Colin Berry quotes: "....yes barrel rolls now take twice as much energy as before and the boost is not as severe"

Thank you so much Colin! You see, all I needed was a good reason to go out there and collect a pretty black WipEout box, and the idea of racing along, blowing weak-shielded barrel-rollers out of the race is a really good reason. (Assuming I can catch up to them of course.)

"Time Trials, your energy replenishes so you are going to need to barrel roll to get the top times (there are pros and cons for either way (replensihing or not)"

Oh well, TT was never my favourite part of the game (except maybe in original WipEout, because it was perfectly trancelike...), so yay! Good news!

Awesome!

Someone's got to bring the mods back on topic

[RJ O'Connell]

Anything to get this thread to 50K views as promised, D7^3

[Darkdrium777]

Well that's one more view.
The only way I see this 50k view not happening is if SL throws the game out pretty soon.

Yes it's a race: SL, you have to get the game out before 50K view to win. Else we win!

[Lance]

Sounds more like a loss to me.

[Nadia Elenova]

You can tell!, It drives me mad whenever I see that message on the screenshots telling "Press any button to start".

[cybrpnk]

And I saw a release projection Fall, I guess on Sony's PlayStation site.
Well I hope it's early Fall, that might be before the end of September.

I love the adrenaline for speed.

[RJ O'Connell]

Even at half-framerate those videos were quite awesome. Welcome to the 'Zone Nocturnal.

Blue Movie
Orange movie

The movies above can be downloaded. I'm not sure if they are the same as the GT one's posted above. I'm having trouble watching flash movies in my browser.

The lighting is really stunning. The craft also looks a little floaty. I usually play in first person though, so I could be imagining it. The rear of the craft seems to be moving all over the place.

[RJ O'Connell]

The Blue clip is an older one, and the Orange pilot looks really out of his league. Still awesome to see the HD Icaras!

[BARTgai]

Something interesting, in the second GT gameplay vid, when the player gets close behind the qirex, it looks an engine flare is clearly visible. At about 40 seconds.

At the first GT video, close to the end when he uses the sheild, the sound seems different, and kinda cheesy. I dont really like it.

[Sugar_from_OTW]

and the Orange pilot looks really out of his league.

++

he needs more practice. I'm guessing thats vector speed too.

[Chill]

Wow... looks brilliant!!!! Holy **** will I be hella happy to play this online over and over again, screw every other game for a hella long time!!! lol, this is the only game I've been waiting for since I've heard about it, Wipeout has always been my first priority anyway... I'm going to make it worth it...
