edit:
look at 2:01 and look at the description
tigron stats are 100 speed, 75 thrust, 70 shield and 70 handling
blog post for tigron
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...-tigron-k-vsr/
looking at the picture... theres no fury variant? the fury selections are all blank for two ships... i guess the other one is van uber so.... yeah
Well, that's my lore video f***ed :lol
I was thinking the same thing XD
Confirmed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1kWR85vPYk
And yeah, I thought that too.
If theres one more ship to be announced then i bet it's g tech :lol
Beyond excited for this!! Tigron!!! June cannot come quick enough!!!
Any lore theories on how this could be possible? Silly as it sounds, this is important to me! :lol
Sorry about your video, Charlie. That was the first thing I thought of, too!
My first thought was, "What!? That is so cool!"
I'll be honest, I didn't think it would happen. Now, I wonder if the lore would explain both Tigron and Van-Uber's return to AG racing.
Interesting
I have to be honest, I'm not against the idea of Omega being non-canon and allowing all the teams from the entire serise to be included in some form, but the sheer amont of detail the boxart for that little magnetic model goes into, even going so far as to include Tigron's trademark arrogance, strikes me as something more of a retcon. Not sure how I feel about that, TBH.
But, if this is the direction they're taking, we might as well have a G-Tech ship for good measure. On the other hand, having EG-R and Xios might be trickier to explain away.
If we're heading this way, why not have teams like Icaras, Van-Über, Mirage, and other newer teams have ships in 2048 mode?
EDIT: Tigron could relocate to Belarus.
Wow, they have actually given a bit of the lore to explain its reappearance! Apparently, the company has not been resurrected, the K-VSR was the very last craft developed by Tigron before the F9000 collapse. The machine is a refurbished relic that can be "hired out" to those with the right money and contacts. It's given in a passage on the back of the box that the magnetic model came in. Give me a minute and I'll post it
*Should add that I don't own one, someone did an unboxing on YouTube and showed the back of the box ;)
I'm pretty sure the videos was f***ed when Van uber was announced ;)Quote:

Right, here we go. My lore video lives on as this fits in nicely! :)
The Tigron K-VSR appeared very late in the Tigron timeline and came under immediate scrutiny due to both its high performance and a layout that betrayed the design principles of their earlier craft. Competing technical designers began suggesting that the propulsion system couldn't possibly fuel the four visible thrusters without breaching capacity regulations and the hull's structure semeed to be built with the intention of aiding illegal ramming techniques. An investigation was started with the team's lead engineering representative appearing at the initial hearing, but the proceedings didn't last long.
"Where I come from we have a saying: you cannot feed your hunger by staring at another man's plate - jealousy will only see you starve. So take a good look at the Qirex assets we acquired. Take a good look at the K-VSR... and then take a good look at yourselves." Tigron Chief Engineer
With that statement he launched a pair of popular, branded digital spectacles at the board members and stormed out. The imminent corruption scandal that eventually brought down Tigron ensured the investigation never reached a decision. All assets and paperwork vanished but that didn't stop the short-lived K-VSR from becoming a cult favourite and a sought-after relic. Rumours still cross the underground datacasts suggesting that for the right money and with the right contacts you can fly an original chassis that was smuggled out of the factory during the collapse. For even more money, they'll tell you the truth behind it.
"Popular branded digital spectacles"... Burnston Burns' Four-Ize perhaps? :lol
Well, as it's now emerged that the K-VSR came first, was it Triakis who copied Tigron? ;)Quote:

It sure isn't a HD or FURY track, yet you see Tigron running on other HD / Fury tracks in the YouTube videos, and it's already been stated that the craft from 2048 won't be running on the HD/FURY tracks.
I just woke up and turned on my PS4 and saw that DINGDONGDANG had replied to my message last night about what's happening with the Beta.
He said he hadn't yet tried the online of the Omega pack yet, as it's only up for 90 minutes each day, he did say that it looks amazing, and it runs incredibly smoothly.
Now we know about Tigron, I'll ask him if it and Van Uber are available in the game straight away and if it is a addition to the craft list, or if it's a replacement for craft that might been removed .....as I can't recognize the track above that Tigron is pictured on, it will be interesting to see what his reply is.
This is great, i was on board with the game from the start anyway, but now we have some cool new toys to mess about with too.
And that Tigron looks niiiiiiice :)
hi, i think it's sebenco reverse Blackwiggle ... :beer
I just saw that DINGDONGDANG is either still testing the game [that's dedication] or has got up early to resume testing.
So I just asked him if Tigron & Van uber are available to be used straight away, if any of the old craft have disappeared, if there are any new tracks / weapons or anything of note, if 2048 can change HUD's like HD ?
Since he hasn't tried online, asking him about the medals and leveling system is rather pointless ATM.
The thing is, although after checking his trophy list [he has 254 games ...and I thought I was bad ], I see he did play HD/FURY when it first came out, likewise for 2048, but I wouldn't call him a diehard Wipeout fan like we are here, so I'm not sure how he will take the questions, and likewise notice what has or hasn't changed.
Attachment 10672You mean this track?

Hmmmmm I wonder if XDev saw the Tigron and Van-uber billboards from HD/Fury and thought that these two teams were the most logical to resurrect as they're still referenced to in the games somewhat.
I compared two tracks and they look almost the same.
I have to laugh, I just saw that Xtriko [if there was a madder Wipeout fanatic in Portugal I doubt it] is closed Beta testing some new Grand Turismo game, while DINGDONGDANG is testing the Omega pack.....man if they could only swap games
The photo is taken just after the exit of the tunnel on sebenco reverse in the big climb IMOQuote:

Of course, I forgot that Sebenco was on snow cover mountain track......that Tigron shot had we wondering if they had remastered one of the tracks from wipeout FUSION, which is where Tigron originated, I can't remember the name of it off hand, but it went underwater for for a good percentage of the long version of that track, and there was another ICE based Fusion track as well, that for some illogical reason had the Antigravity craft slipping on the track, even Colin Berry who worked on Fusion said it didn't make sense to him either :DQuote:

I've just got back from work and see I got a message back from my Omega Pack beta testing mate from the questions asked him last night, he said he couldn't remember that much about HD/FURY/2048 to comment about what's new/ different about the Omega pack, which is sort of the situation I thought he would be in.....BUT, he also said he will tell me anything I want to know about the pack over the weekend, starting from when he finishes work tonight, SO hopefully I can get pretty much all the info about the game that is up until now, not known.:nod
He said he never played the games much online either [no surprise there], so I might ask him to send me screen shots of the online board, 2048 HUD and anything else you guys & girls want me to ask him about the game.
Personally I want him to find out if Online in game chat is working / available or removed, and if the online player identity tags over the craft are working as well, which were both working for the first few days of HD back in 2008, but died in the butt shortly afterwards.
I also want to know if HD/FURY is still playable in 3D, it works on the PS3, but it's pushing the PS3 to the max, on the PS4 it should be a lot better, that's if it's still a option.
I guess I should also ask if any air brake sensitivity changes made in HD/FURY carry across to 2048, which might or might not be the case, as what works for the HD/FURY craft might not work for the 2048 craft, this will also have a effect with online play if the games are loaded from the same lobby and one minute you are playing HD/FURY games, then the host changes to 2048...do air brake changes change automatically with game change, the big unknown?
Any other specifics you lot want to know about the game, just post your questions and I'll ask if I think he will know the answer [remember, he's not a wipeout tragic like we are]
Actually, I'm sending him a huge request list questionnaire via the Playstation Forum PM system, saves a whole load of annoying PSN messages.
I asked him to print out the PM, it has all the track /weapon/ modes/ craft/ lists for each game for him to easily cross reference to, anything missing/ gone from the old will be immediately obvious to him....likewise anything NEW.
Hi wiggle
after i saw the tigron reveal i have to say that i dislike the motion blur
can you ask him for me if you can turn that off? thanks
i forgot to say in last post about racebox... in 2048's racebox can you turn off specific weapons and use whatever you want? like turbo only etc.
in 2048's campaign mode there was some times where you had to only use cannon etc etc, mp was the same, it had cannon + mines only race and a turbo/autopilot/leech beam/shield race
also forgot to ask this one :D
is a+ speed class (super phantom) still in 2048? and can you play that speed class on hd/fury tracks now?
Mate I just womped him with a big PM at the Beta testers forum.
Here's what I have asked of him in a PM sent around 10 minutes ago ....he's online ATM testing this stuff.....as he is not a Wipeout nutter like the rest of us, I have had to supply info for him to check against
] OK First, can you check to see if there is now the ability to change air brake sensitivity in 2048, like there is in HD/FURY....if there is, it answers one potential problem, but begs the question about another possible one.....or is there one GLOBAL air brake adjustment/setting that effects your controller on all three games?
Depending on answer, this might be one BIGGY to post at the Beta testing site....could be some big Online Only problems, and huge disgruntled player base.
2] Can the HUD display be changed to previous Wipeout game HUD's on 2048, like it can in HD/FURY ?
This wasn't available in the original 2048.
If not, what are available...possible screen shots sent via PSM ?
3] What craft are immediately available to use in HD/FURY and in 2048?
Any of the OLD craft been deleated? original line up was- Feisar, Quirex, Piranha, AG Systems, Triakis, Goteki 45, EG-X, Assegai, Mirage, Harimau, Auricom, Icaras.
Are the new [well from Wipeout FUSION actually] Tigron & Van Uber craft avaiable in both games, or only one?, if so which game?
4] RACEBOX -This is why 2048 died, it didn't have Racebox like HD/FURY where you could practise the tracks.
Could you please list all the tracks available to be raced on in RACEBOX. from all three games.
Could you also please list the different modes that the tracks can be raced on? [some might only be ZONE tracks etc] some might be yet unkown 2048 Zone tracks...... [I never got into 2048 myself until I bought a PSTV and hacked it so I could play 2048 and both the old PURE & PULSE + all DLC PSP Wipeouts on a Big Screen with a PS4 controller]....works well, even through my Sony PJ at 2.2m screen width. LOL
5] Please tell me HD/Fury is still 3D compatiable ....does the 3D option still come up when you start the game?
Is 2048 NOW 3D Compatiable?
6] We are back online again....I looked at you Trophy list and saw that you downloaded WO HD the day it was released as well as I did....remember on the first week or so that when playing online, VOICE CHAT actually worked, it didn't after that frist week, same situation for the little idendity tags over craft when playing online.
Could you please see if either or both options are still available, and if so, how well they are working?
I guess a quick look at the controller configuration options will tell you, if they arn't there, I guess not.
But then again, if they are there, do they work when playing 2048 Online, which was something that was never available?
7] Track differences [use Racebox to check easily agianst what track are available] - more of a check list to see if any new tracks added [sort of doubt it -at least until Sony announce some VR DLC for this title, sort of enevitable really, Sony have always used Wipeout to push any new Tech/gimmick they want to sell ]
Original HD/FURY tracks are: Vineta K, Anulpha Pass, Moa Therma, Chenghou Project, Metropia, Sebenco Climb, Ubermall, Sol 2, Talons Junction, The Amphesium, Modesto Heights, Tech De Ra..... .all in reverse as well.
Zone tracks are: Pro Tozo, Mallavol, Corridon 12, Syncopia
2048 tracks are:Unity Square, Metro Park, Queens Mall, Capital Reach, Empire Climb, Rockway Stadium, Downtown, Subway, SOL, Altima
Just PSM message me when you have or don't have the answers to any of these questions......if a detailed response, please let me know.
This is getting more information than l have thought but originally, l was thinking of just remastered from old wipeouts, now l just cannot wait when this game out!
Also, l loved that tigron limited edition through YouTube and l want to buy it!
For the record, asa did not know about wipeout omega is getting released in june coming but guess what? he already ordered it last week! lol
stevie 😀
Holy schnitzel !
I hope 2048 has decent racebox and I hope the tracks have added detail! Can't wait :)
INCOMING
Quote RE Air brake question: Reply from Omega tester :Air brake is GLOBAL and does effect 2048 but only available at main menu.
Tigron available from start....Van Uber needs to be unlocked......looks like I'm in for a long night. :nod
RE :HUD ...Quote...There is only one HD style HUD style option in the main menu, but it seems [from his perspective ] can't be changed, [He mentions that it doesn't mean that it can't be unlocked ]... Put that down in the 'Maybe' section.
Wow so you can change airbrake settings in 2048?!
keep the updates coming :D
thanks again wiggle
Can i remind anyone with BETA access that there were terms you agreed to by downloading it. Be careful what you talk about!
Is it Mooney or Money who has made it's [no sex divulged ] presence made with it's one and only post?
Nobody at this forum has Beta access testing. :mr-t
People that know people, do have that knowledge ....SUE THEM .....that sort of crap doesn't work well online....if Sony want to boost sales....GO AWAY!
Its mooney, thats my name.
You come across as my old Nemesis.... XTC .....Moony Moony Face.
