Hehehehe, I see what torlporl did there!!! Cheeky :P
I don't, enlighten the rest of us D:
I almost get the sense that we are being enlightened with some SPECIAL revelation here...
It's sarcasm, more or less, about how most people supposedly know all the new features of WOHD.
"Two new heads-up displays? Oh, they're from Wipeout 2097 and Wip3out. Yeah, I don't have a source for this information, I just know already."
Kind of like how "Wipeout PS3", the one after HD, supposedly runs on some form of the MotorStorm engine because some blogger said so.
Then again, I could be reading into this too deeply...o_o
Either torlporl is informed or he's just being very very teasing.
But I like it anyways :lol
Though the four new ships, I mean, that's probably the worst kept secret of the game's new features.
Unless it's a four-pack including G-Tech, MediEvil, Stealth and Cokestyle. :blarg
I agree with Darkdrium-- Torlporl is either brilliantly witty or knows something, I'm not sure which is the case.
well, icaras is misspelled so I am cautious against letting my hopes rise too much.
not that Swift412 cares anyway ;-;
Hi guys,
(I like u Torlporl) I don't know if it has already been said before, but Hd will contain 8 reverse tracks, 4 more ships (for sure the pulse packs), new HUDS, offline 2 players splitted screen + trophy support (SCEE official response, the source said :rolleyes:)
http://www.totalvideogames.com/news/...555_6787_0.htm
heres hoping it gets delayed even more! so we can get 2-4 more new tracks + reverse :D
^ The Gran Turismo approach? Nah, at some point they have to cut it off and finish the game. Though, it would save the trouble of being nickeled and dimed to death to get the "full" game.
god, I really hate all this speculation, but then every other day a bit of supposed info gets out and fuels my personal hype for this game, aaargh!
well, doing a quick google search on 'torlporl' has revealed that he seems to be located at Liverpool (the town, not the studio, mind you) - so maybe he really DOES know.
ssshhh, Colin, give us some comment on this already! We're foaming at the mouth! ;)
The guy posting as torlporl is masquerading as someone from Studio Liverpool, but is not said person and the information posted by them can pretty much be taken as garbage.
it didnt seem like he was claiming to be someone from studio liverpool as he was writing from the perspective of someone who only plays the game... however maybe he is a tester or maybe he is totally full of ****! personally i dont care at all because i dont believe anything that doesnt have a credible source
Whatever the truth, I hope, pray, and dream of Icaras in the starting lineup.
flying high
Well, the game will certainly bee sold at a higher price than it should have been originally (but we will never know ^_^). But since there is additionnal content which could have been added through DLC (not free obviously) I don't think your thoughs are justified.Quote:

Never give up hope. Seriously, Icaras billboards were quite prominent in all the preview videos and trailers I've seen - especially at Chenghou Project.Quote:

What do they get out of it? lol. Pretending to be something they're not while sitting on their behinds at a computer screen.Quote:

Even more bizarre because almost nobody in the world knows who "torlporl" is nor follows the Wipeout franchise enough to interpret his post. It's a very subtle joke-post on several different levels.
you made my last weekend great Stephen! When Del told me about those features i was really excited !Quote:

Undoubtly , to let the game more friendly splitscreen is the way baby :)
Big Thx to SL now i am sure at 100% to get my ps3 before HD
What' you talking about, RJ O'Connell??? *screws up face and crosses arms in his best Arnold-from-Diff'rent Strokes style*Quote:

I have no idea who Rick Astley even is! Is it the mysterious go owner of EG.R whos from another planet?
I think Arnaud means Rick Astley, SK.
Exclusive HD footage! :P;););) If you know your way around the internet you'll know what this is. Plus looking at the previous thread chatter I can't help but do it.

I couldn't help but to look even though I knew what it was. I've just been ricked rolled lads :P
:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall Thanks alot, now that songs gonna be in my head for the rest of the week:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall
I wonder how 2P Split Screen will affect the graphics...
Okay, yes, it's a desperation attempt to get this thread back on topic. I know that. Alternatively, I could have written a version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" that fits the WipEout theme, alas, my rhyming patterns are worse than flying for G-Tech.
It's a very valid question, as I recall someone from the studio explained that all the stuff would have to be downgraded to a lower res in order to be displayed twice on the same screen. So doing that for the entire game could take a while.
It's a tough one, I think - most PS3 games haven't even dared go there yet. And those that have (Haze) look like **** in the first place.
Knowing the lead of HD and the other guys involved, I shouldn't be surprised if they pull it off, because they're capable of delivering great things given the time to do it in.
As hard core fans on here, it's natural to want the game released yesterday no matter what state it's in, but you have to keep the faith that a delay of a few months is only for the benefit of WipEout in the long run.
Five laps at Phantom's what I'm thinkin' of, you wouldn't get this from any other guy...
My main concern is that it runs smoothly in split-screen, by default the game will look better in still shots than the last three games, but it means absolutely squat if the game moves as brisk as a barge towing three barges.
The artists formerly known as Psygnosis can definitely pull this off.
Quick interview about HD (in 4:56 onwards). Something about delay, gameplay footage from Ubermall, Sol2 and Metropia and (yikes!) new sponsor:

CONTENDER RICKROLL'D
****, I fell for that BAD. The remix is catchy though ;)
As I said on your vid, this is most awesome! :g
LOL nice one! :g
tehehe. I knew it was coming, but still, that's one quality rickroll right there! too bad noone in Austria knows Rick Astley, I would love to post that on my site :clap
Would you believe the man is still touring - I know his drummer.
On the splitscreen and how it looks, while they may have to downgrade the detail, the images are then scaled down to only half the size across one dimension, to fit two screens in one. That means that some of the detail would have been lost anyway so there's a good chance much of the downgrading wouldn't even be noticed.
