see, I know that wipEout:fx600 would be the natural choice, but that's my point. why not put the emphasis on the league, because, as you said, we know it's wipEout anyway. that way it would be fresh and different, but without adding any 'cool' words like beyond or future or whatever, words which don't really have a meaning in the context of the game itself.
.
then fx600 should be the only name, no additions. to add Wipeout to it would make no sense. not to us. yet the problem remains that in order to identify the game on store shelves or gameselling websites, it needs the word 'wipeout' on it somewhere. unfortunately, the only logical and sense-making position for that is ahead of or above 'fx600' rather then behind or below it. 'fx600' makes sense by itself to us since we are fans of the game and its supposed history, and even more because we are talking about it on a Wipeout dedicated site, but in the market, it would be a confusing mystery
.
The box would surely read "Wipeout:fx600", but most likely the word wipeout would be in slightly less bright characters to emphasise the league name, and all of us on the forum would just say fx600 when talking about it, much like we're likely to say SE, Pure or Fusion.
Has anyone gone for the mroe direct route and suggested WipEout: Future yet?
And As for the fx600/wipeout: fx600/fx600: wipeout debate, I prefer the second one
i would like a game opposite to fusion but, fission dosent really seem wipeout if you knbow what i meanQuote:

yes i was actually learning about that in science the other day! and fusion means to fuse right?
Correct. Which is why they share the first three letters (and it didn't come up on my Science MockGSCE this morning, either)
Could be worse, you could be doing GCSE applied science like your truly....
Oh the lies which they said to make us pick it... Oh the lies...
That sounds like my advanced programming ***cough cough microsoft office *** course at college.

lol, back to topic: wip6out (if you imaginr that the 6 was made to look like the letter e some how)
WipE6ut or something like that perchance?
ye, something along the lines of that! LOL
I like the WipEout: fx600 idea as well, not only does it sound good but there’s also a 6 in there, what a meaningful titie it would be :clap
of Ajescent's list, the only one that I thought looked any good was WipEout: Core
but I have to say going with a league name sounds like a good call to me, it makes it easier to continue too.
The only further consideration though is ease of marketing...
somehow I don't see it being very well suited to an ad campaign... I think eLhabib probably had the right idea, just calling it the clean and simple "WipEout",
I could imagine seeing something like this:
WipEout
2266:FX600
on the packaging. You could posibly even replace the traditional apostrophes with little superscript numbers or roman numerals
oooooh, I like that idea! Adding the year and league as a sort of subtitle, I love it!
I agree with others about FX600 so that should be the next league (unless it's FX450 of course).
So how about WipEout: Pure 2.0? If it's going to be a PS3 title then Wip6out should be ace!
WipEout: Pure v2.0 sounds slightly more WipEout (it's a very subtle difference), but the v2.0 could, like the idea above, replace the apostrophies.
Slightly off topic but a while back I remeber reading somewhere about a Sequel to Fusion in the works. What ever happened to that?
.
actually it's completely offtopic; you should start a separate thread for that question
