Realistically yes, DLC should come and in the mean time the update is a brilliant marketing move. There's no doubt about that.Quote:

Great. Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure it's appreciated by many after my doubtful reponse. I shall be less sceptical in future.
I understand where people are coming from, as do the team. As developers we want news out there, marketing, people standing shouting from the roof tops about whats coming. But its not our remit, its the job of others to 'promote' thats what they get paid for, so whilst many would like to say things, they cant. Indeed its a reason not many of the team post on the forum often, we'd likely let things slip :D
Regarding the patch not being perfect, there are some small issues (the initial lock up happened to me :( ), I trust they'll be ironed out. There are also some things people are experiencing that others arent; I cant find a difference in the ships, and I'm assured there isnt one, likewise the weapon regularity etc. I'll have a look next week, but all I will say is, IF the ships had been altered (or weapons), even just one ship, it would have almost certainly been in the 'patch notes' we are upfront about such things. If there is an issue it could be a by product of something else, for example the BR online is affected by online code, so a change for something else might have an effect, meaning it can likely be looked into.
I think patches like this, be it Wipeout, or another game, are by their nature often going to seem like 2 steps forward with one step back. Personally I see it as two large steps forward, and one tiny stumble, that will hopefully be ironed out.
Colin I Love You, would You marry ME?
haha uhm
my fiancee wouldnt be too happy :D
the more the merrier ^_~
Well from what I've found most of the issues seem to be online. I was hideously frustrated last night so I did some offline stuff (bit of a novelty actually:)) and the ships in offline mode didn't seem different, I could BR to my heart's content and those bastard mines weren't (quite) so troublesome.Quote:

Offline ftw!! :D
Colin thank you for your time :)
I didn't update yet, seeing the comments of the fans. I expect the 1.31 soon, but fixing that starting problem, and some others, would be a great update of course.
And having the expected DLC would give more hours than the 100 i have now. As i said in all posts mentioning my desires for DLC, i expect classic tracks (altima vii, gare d'europa, or others) more than pulse ones.
Is this DLC going to be free that you know of ?Quote:

I have always played in first person ,well until the patch, when you view can mysteriously change for no apparent reason [a race ruin er if ever there was one]that's happen twice now.
There is a difference with the handling when online, a bit stiffer and the craft seem to sit slightly lower to the track [ I had one race on Anulpha and it was if my craft was partially sunk into the track when on the overpass],BR's are a lot harder to do ,it's as if the response from the controller has been slowed down [in the steering from the D-Pad,I don't know if the sticks are effected] ,just a fraction ,but enough to effect BR's
The analog stick still works like a charm for me.
there should be a thread with our "wishes" for this new download to come...
i would like to see some sort of trial mode (sort of the ones we have in sf4) were we could unlock some videos and conceptual artwork.
this way i could learn some tricks to drive better and unlock stuff :D
p.s: I play mostly offline so...
Isn't there already such a thread?
Colin is that kind of person that when comes out to talk brings always the light and good news:beerQuote:

heeheh i hope your personal tastes gave contribution Colin ( ehm cough statenpark coughcough );)
Don't ask for eliminator mode anymore, it already exist now, it's named : multiplayer races ;)
20 laps no absorbing, boum boum boum :bomb:bomb:bomb
Grrr >: ( I just finished listening to the newest PSNation podcast and Glenn (one of the two hosts) knows what it is but he can't tell us. Quickly... berate his inbox!
psnation.org
Interesting. That means it is coming soon, if he knows already.
Good :)
feisar ltd. , you know what it is? in case you know please don't spoil it here, i have sent you a PM
i have to reedit this post, what's happen?! the news of some people at game podcast know what is the up-coming content, come out, and no more arguing?:?
We need to figure out where their houses live, where their beds sleep, stalk them uber fast, randomly call them just yelling a creepy BOMB MINES QUAKE into the phone, threaten to ram them with an Icaras and shove a Plasma up their exhaust, run past them with a SWIIIUUUUUUSH or maybe a BROMBLEDOMBLEBROMBLE leaving a blueish trail, and challenge them to online duels for information :lolQuote:

That would be true if we weren't taking into account lag and ping. But since we should be, Icaras ends up just as effective as Qirex.
/sarcasm
Haha I think I might try calling SL up and just repeating BOMB MINES QUAKE. Thats such a funny premise :D
I got an email from Studio Liverpool about the release date.;)
Thanks fo yo r continu int st in the imminent relea se of the added content for Wipe t HD.
We are n w able to c nfirm that the rele e date wil be on the nd of n .
I think they were suffering from some glitches.:brickwall
I know I have.
Vista Pads.
Blackwiggle, actually if this e-mail was real, it would give away quite a bit of information!
If you fill the spaces, it can only mean 2nd of June (or 22nd of June, but 2nd is more likely due to E3).
But then you didn't really get an e-mail, so...
It's nice two sea so eone over at SL has a s mi ar cents of h mor as ey .Quote:

The funny thing would be if I serendipitously got the date correct,but the chances of that are extremely low.
But I'm pretty sure at least one of the tracks will be called Cambodiousa.
Racing the through a war ravaged jungle paradise,with ancient ruins surrounded by mines and bombs.;)
If its straight after my mid semesters ill be happy:D
so what is the date in the end?
2nd its clear due to the " nd " ,but "n. "?
2nd of november???:blarg
haahahah

I said it was like Cambodia.
It's sort of become a de facto "quick description" used in the HD chat rooms.
Since the 1.30 patch the mines & bombs have become more prevalent,so I thought a "MOCK" track in the DLC would suit the new conditions.
GHIAAAAAAA AHHHHH YOU ARE DEATH!!!!:evil:bomb
i will find your home, and i will come to you when you are at sleep
...anyway you have received that mail from SL for real or even that is a
joke?
:banzai
It has a [wink icon] ;) next to the first line of the post,meaning it was a joke.
It was a sarcastic post that the game has glitches,implying that maybe the problems so wide spread that even SL's emailing system has glitches.
Somethings obviously do not translate
Nah I got it. That's why I was replying with "Vista keyboard" and "O SHI-!" with missing letters because supposedly it was happening to me too (I was on the laptop with Vista... -.-)
Now excuse me I'm off choosing the appropriate location for my 2097th post.
Lol.Quote:

How much notice was given for the DLC on the psp wipeouts? It was only a few days notice for the 1.30 update so does anyone think it will be the same for the DLC?
