"..and Sony Liverpool eliminates the minor slowdown and tearing,"
I really hope they do. Imo 720p@stable fps > 1080p@ almost stable fps. There are probably other ways to improve FPS than changing the resolution but having 1080p without a stable framerate is just a really weird choice.
I seriously doubt you'll be hearing much more from Colin.Quote:

lol it was advised by someone the playstation forums when I requested to find contact details for marketing department of Sony
Now I’m sorry as much as you guys want to defend Wipeout. Sony's Marketing team has dropped the ball on this and made many of its customers un happy getting stuffed around with false release dates. and after may phone and email complaints to Sony customer service here in au the release date of 29/04/08 has still not been fixed nor were they will to offer me some sort of compensation for my time being wasted chasing them up on why the game has not been released.
Colin and Egg I’m sorry if I have dragged you into this there are no hard feelings to you guys at all you guys are the reason I’m drooling over the trailers and screen shots, but as a diehard gamer that bought his ps3 5 months ago expecting Sony to come good on the December release I’m disgusted with how their customer service and marketing team has handled the situation and I want some form of apology to me and you guys for the misconstrued info this game has received in the media.
I never thought I'd ever say this in the context of wipEout, but: IT'S JUST A GAME, JEEZ!
I will direct you guys to the site there are laws in this county about misleading or deceptive advertising.

I think you might need to consider taking life a little less seriously. You might have a heart attack.
Good luck with that, then.Quote:

Actually, this is a wind up isn't it? Any second now Jeremy Beadle is going to pop up. It's the only explaination.
a friend called Sony, one confirmed the dated May 29 for Europe. I don't see why that would be a lie...no reason, if it were not sure it would have said it I think....
But you haven't actually paid money for a product! - other than the console, and Sony can't be held responsible for your original reasons for buying that.
well that is where the deceptive side oif the law kicks in
I mean hell even after I purchased my PS3 there was a upcomming games flyer in the box with the console and guess what game was previewed in it Wipeout HD for december.
EDIT: P.S.
Egg you need to understand the complaint is not about the product it's about the misleading advertisment of the product.
Only if you dig deeper than he's buried and stick copious amounts of dynamite underneath him. :DQuote:

umm? Having convinced myself that this isnt some strange attempt at humour i have to say you seriously need to get out more. a lot more.
you honestly a) have nothing better to do and b) thought it was a good idea to make a complaint because a release date for a game slipped!?!? Oh and c) posted it on one of the very few forums where fans and dev's interact thus having a good go at ruining that experience for everyone else.
If this wasnt so tragic i would be laughing a lot more. As it is the evil net geek side of me is whispering STFU n00b and similar pearls of wisdom. o_o
sorry, i know its flaming and flaming is bad and all, but meh. kinda deserves it. palm meet forehead. forehead meet wall, etc, etc.
@ rushin Please accept my deepest appoligy for bringing my dispute with sony customer service or there lack of to this forum.
however after all it's in no way off topic.
and if you guys are happy to let sony gerk you around with their tripe then thats fine with me
as for me being a noob well I it's become aparrent that no one here seems to have the brain capasity to comprehend what i'm saying (oh sorry I don't mean to flame) I'm not disrespecting the game
rather i'm say that Sony's marketing has disrespected the game with their inabillity to publish true infomation about a simple release date.
Fixed, from someone with an obvious low brain capacity :DQuote:

We will get a different experience from both games.
When you guys put out those amazing screenshots, everyone wanted the game immediately.
Having learnt by reading this thread that assimilator is banned, but realising that he should still be able to read this, I say: There is an old American farming expression- ''Don't count your chickens before they've been hatched.'' It is unwise and even foolish and certainly naive to expect that everything that has been promised can be delivered. That is not how the world is. Likewise, there is no reason whatsoever for someone to receive compensation for making an effort that was purely voluntary on their own part. Wanting compensation for the time and trouble one went to to complain about an unrealistic expectation not being fulfilled? That is compounding the initial error.
Then coming here and ignoring the most major of all forum rules everywhere [Respect and do not flame] plus a minor rule for dessert, that is an indicator of pettiness and misplaced self-centredness. Flaming posters because they didn't agree with you and thereby bruised your ego? Major sign of immaturity.
[Ends ranting commentary.]
To put an end to the current vibe in here (and to get back on topic ;)) - pretty much all the european playstation.com sites have updated the status on wipEout HD from 'May 2008' to 'TBC'. I guess that we can safely assume now it's DEFINITELY NOT coming in May. Well bugger. Must admit I am very disappointed, especially since my DS3 arrived yesterday.
Now I just hope wipEout HD doesn't release anywhere between June 15th and July 1st, because that would really ruin my vacation ;)
Release dates are always subject to change
Film
Book
Music
Game
Also the sites that ran 29th may as release date will have done so in good faith, just as when I was interviewed last August in Leipzig, I said in all good faith we would be out by the end of the year (07). But circumstances change and for all the will in the world things happen beyond the control of people some large things, some small, many that to most people would seem completely un-related.
yes Collin , but most part of the frustation comes from the fact that this famous date of 29 may has just been canceled at only 10 days of the hypothetic release...
we knew advertisements of delay at the past(especially for the video games it is frequent) but rarely also late ... of course it is Sony the faulty in this story, in this case they would do better keep silent...
what we all hope now , it is that the next date announced will be the definitive and especially in agreement with the reel advance of the product ...
thank you to continue to take part collin :)
I have to thank both Egg and Colin for sticking with Wipeoutzone through all the nonsense above. Seriously, I admire you guys :) Thanks for being here to answer our questions :clap
All we can do now is wait, and like loxy said: hopefully the next date announced will be the real deal, so we can all rock on :guitar
@loxy: that famous date was never an official one. it came from jeux video, if i remember right, quoting an unknown source.
Good things come to those that wait.
I would rather that we have a game that runs well and works the way we have been told, rather than have a game that does not run as well as we had hoped or how we had been told that it would. I like my cake baked, not when it is sloppy and uncooked :)
Yes, and my plasma will almost be paid when it is released. ;)
it was necessary official date , because it was on the sony web sites (since how many time ago the date of sony are not official? )...so, from the site which announced it, it was the date of release too from sony himself as sourceQuote:

Thank you Colin and Egg for keep with this forum. As you can see, not every guys here are imature. We know that the team are doing the best work possible and we will be waiting for all the time you need to complete this game. Wish you the best luck with your work and once again, thank you. XtriKO and Spitfire2097
The european Playstation sites only showed May as it did only show vague launch periods before. Nothing specific. Recently they changed it to unconfirmed. This forum casts long shadows. ;)Quote:

"Recently they changed it to unconfirmed"...yes, this morning...
There was also that PSN release sheet thing kicking around with Wipeout HD on it at the end of May, I wonder if they'll be announcing another date anytime soon.
Anyway in light of this re-scheduling I'm off to get my compensation lol!! :g:dizzy
Just my thoughts, but....
WipeoutHD features online play, it's one of the key elements, right?
The PS3 has no common framework accoss all games yet for chat, invites, etc, games do provide this at varing levels but it's not common across all games/devs. Many of these features are coming either a XMB update or HOME. Maybe WipeoutHD needs these new features enabled first as it's a Sony 1st party game BEFORE the online elements will work as planned.
Could this be the reason for multiple delay(s), Not WO:HD, Not SL but the core online elements that are planned for the PS3 but not out yet for whatever reason. I know that GT5p online sucks the fat one without private races, chat and the like.
Just a thought ...
