All of those were done on my first attempt. Don't think I've done this before, just because I played the press version a couple of times...

Against my better judgement, I bought this. I didn't hold out even one day. I'm WO's bitch and it eats away at me.
But since we've got a thank you thread, I'll say thanks for one of my favourite front ends of the series.
WipEout perfection right here.
SL. I salute you.
I've read pages and pages of comments about HD in the last two days, and from these it is clear that Studio Liverpool worked their collective asses off inventing, designing, programming, and polishing so many aspects of the game. Congratulations on a great job, and thank you all.
In my opinion wipeout HD is the best game ever ! :D
Great job SL ! :cake
Ive decided to withdraw my thanks -
I HAVE WORK IN TEN MINUTES, AND I DIDNT GET ANY SLEEP DUE TO YOUR BLOODY GAME
:D :D :D
Interesting.
I actually thought I'd do the same as soon as it launched, but since I haven't really enjoyed playing WipEout since WipEout 3 SE it's made it pretty easy to for me to ignore it.
Still, like Mad-Ice said somewhere else, it does feel kind of strange that almost every single person on my friends list is playing HD right now and I'm the admin of the fan site who cant bring himself to buy it.
Kind of has me wondering about the point of running a fan site for something I don't appear to have a passion for any longer. :|
****ing barrel rolls - I really do rue the day. :(
Did I just feel an earthquake?
Nope - the fat lady sang.;)
Oh God, that was lame lol. Infox, the game can be played in Demo form. A old mate once told me you can't knock something until you have tried it I know that saying doesn't apply to everything but this game is different.
As I said before, not many people are BR'ing online mate. The game really is a blast. Oh and with the WO3 HUD and soundtrack playing, you wouldn't notice the difference :)
I really should try the demo, I suppose, because if I don't like it then there really isn't any point in me being here.
Other than to pay the bills and activate accounts, I mean. ;)
and it's under a GB also, so it's not as if you will be losing your monthly cap...
:p
Fox, the only thing you have to lose if massive jaggies from the PSX era. . .
Rob, you should definitely give this one a chance. I used to dread BRs also (although probably not as much as you), but somehow, in HD I don't mind them... oh, and the rest of the game is fantastic!
If you don't love Pure and especially Pulse, I can't possibly see why you'd love this unless you have a thing for detailed textures made from the same metal that everything in Doom 3 was made from. This is the same. Just technically, if not design-wise, far better looking. It's certainly as barrel-rolly.
But, yes, give the demo a go and see what you think.
Played a lot more this morning...playing it now actually...trying to finish campaign with my bro...
Love the attention to detail on this baby...the sounds made by the auto-pilot is ace...is it just me or does it sound like the auto-pilot is talking to the craft...brilliant!!!
Studio Liverpool = GODS
Thank you for such a beautiful game. I've been showing my appreciation on the Photo Mode thread... need to stop snapping pics and earn some more trophies!
Erm mate, these guys are Studio LIVERPOOL ;)
Come on foxxy....ive picked the game up again after a good gap of some 6 years!
ill agree that pure and pulse werent really the best, but you really should give it a shot, the tracks arent the old 'gems' but this game is a MAAAASIVE step in the right direction.
What he said ^^
Great game http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/8911/cooljc6.gif
oh my. have managed to tear myself away from HD, can see tracks when i close my eyes even after sleeping.
It is impossibly good, thank you so much SL for a very big lump of awesomeness. I have no idea how i am supposed to go to work on monday
:rock :hyper
Thanks to everyone at SL, the game is clearly a must have. Even better than what i expected thanks to online mode !
Does anybody knows how well it sells ?
like yourself i'm a BIG fan of the oldies, feel like they've veered off from what wipeout meant in style and design recently, but i'd give HD a look. someone else mentioned it's a step in the right direction...which i personally feel is true...i just hope for a new game and another step in that direction...and maybe backwards, with regard to certain things.
still i'd give it a go. :)
Got into some split-screen multiplayer today...although there is a noticeable drop in the framerate...the reaction times when controlling the ships are in tact and tight...very cool...
The sense of speed is amazing...everything flies by with weapon effects and everything without a hitch...slowdown...or pop-ups...
Very nicely done SL...me and my bro are having some really cool heated WipEout battles...
Lets not get carried away with ourselves!
haha, maybe not such a good idea there Chill - the rules of the resultant game might be overlooked by newcomers to the series, resulting in flaming en masse and some serious banh4mm0r plasma weapons!! :D
Contender Eliminated ;)
Foxxy should never be allowed to make decisions about Wipeout games. His first rule would be to block Bohemian Rhapsody being included in any custom playlists...
haahaha!
IS THIS THE REEEEAAL LIIIIFE? IS THIS JUST FAAANTASSSSSYYY?
Caught in a laaandsliiiide...NO ESCAPE FROM REEEALLITYYYYYYY....
:rock :rock
You do know that Foxxy will probably ban you for that .... ;)
I think the framerate are that much worse that I cant play it at all. I thought it was sad to hear splitscreen wouldnt work online but now when I cant stand playing it at all that is not an issue anymore hehe.
But I want to thank you guys for a, maybe not perfect but, reeally reeally good game! Thanks! And for this price its ****ing awesome. =P
Haha, if i was him i would too - did you not see how terribly i was singing just then? :D
Meanwhile, the original topic had completely derailed and concertina'd into a bank - largely due to my singing....thanks for wrestling it back there, Skvall
:redface:
WipEout HD is my first WipEout after #1 on the PlayStation.
So everything like Zone etc. is pretty new to me and its thrilling me so much.
I agree with most posts here, thank you SL, WipEout HD makes the PS3 feel more like PlayStation again.
Incredible what you guys have done with a friggin download game.
How could you not like Bohemian Rhapsody! Are there any traumatic events involved?
No, I just think it's the most over-rated song in the history of everything ever. This is way off topic, though, so if you're really interested: click here.
Back on the subject of the game, well, I bought it after some quiet assurances from Colin, so there you go. It truly is the barrel roll festival that I'd feared - the gameplay is ****ed due to that now and it really doesn't look like there's any way back. So I might as well enjoy it for what it's worth, and, fortunately, I'm pretty sure I can get £11.99 out of it. :)
