Not to rain on anyones parade but in my openion wipeout FX600 and 2.0 seem rather bland compared to pure and fusion(bad game good name).
I liked the "Equilibrium", sounds cool....
It's a shame the 'Schwa' (look it up in your PC's character map) symbol used in pronunciation keys is the wrong way round to be reminiscent of a 6. Anyway, I agree that just WipE'out" with 6.0 somewhere in small font on the cover would work, Wipeout's always been marketed as a forwards thinking product after all, going against the "Slap a totally irrelevant word on the end" grain would show just that kind of initiative :)
Easy to choose, there can only be one way to go, back to the roots of Wipeout and make it dang good. WIPEOUT ALPHA. Get us back to the speed and adrenaline and throw in all those nifty little control extras (like voice activation??) that we all know would be in the WipEout world if it existed.
WipEout Alpha has my vote, though I'm only one. And then you don't need to worry about linguistics, Drakkenmensch - I have the same weird little cdn mind, and those e's on the end say way too much...
Alpha is good but how about picking the 6th greek letter insted?
it might be Gama but i don't know.
It's alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, I know that far. Hmmm...

Zeta, Eta, Theta. It's like they lost all their creativity after 5. 8 )
back to square 2?
Wipeout: Roots
Its sounds cliché, but i would like to see a trip to the past in the series.
Remember the F3600 and F5000 leagues! :D
In that case, why not WipEout GenerAtions?
were getting there how about
Wipeout Revalations.
of corse this might not fit depending on the them of the game as a new entry of a legends game.
WipEout RRG (Really Really Good edition?)
I'd drop a vote for WipEout Alpha, but that sounds more like a prequel/collection name. Like with W'O"3 Special Edition, I'd definately pay for an upgrade on old tracks.
We've recieved a bit of a gift with the Classic packs for pure, but if I could have a disc with All the old tracks 1-3, maybe fusion and while I'm dreaming all of the cold storage audio (and xpander ^_^) I'd probably offer up a testicle for it.
Keeping in mind the use of the letters z or x are strictly forbidded ESPECIALLY when replacing other letters of the same sound.
WipEout 2XXX (some year..) has been done and is a bit cliche.
WipEout (insert greek letter here) sounds contrived
WipEout (Mixed caps or l33t grammar) is equally cheesy
WipEout: Abbot & Costello go to Mars
WipEout: The Search for more money
WipEout: Star Trek Nemisis
WipE6ut or a Wip6out... I could go for that.
this is SO the wrong font to pull this off....
VIipEout ?
InvaderF00, how about:
WipEout Armageddon
WipEout Armageddon? Naah, sounds way to weapons/destruction oriented, way too Fusion.
How bout:
WipEout: FEISAR Unleashed - hmm... Piranha Unleashed sounds better
The Ultimate WipEout
WipEout: Zen
WipEout: Hyperion
WipEout: Reflection
WipEout: Phantasmagora (means shapeshifting, emphasizing trippiness)
Phantasmagora dosen't roll off the tounge well.
Armagedden does seem too destructive and brings back my fun time with the worms franchise before it went 3d. (good times best party game of the century)
Wipeout: Erasers? :)
hehe. the armageddon thing was a joke.

but to be more serious, it's obvious from our attempts here that it's really hard to come up with good sequel names. we almost have to know what different direction or setting the next game will take before we can zero in on that to find a really appropriate name.
A Bruce Willis voice over, Aerosmith Soundtrack and Ben Affleck Craft... That would definatly be a joke.Quote:

Thinking about what Pure got right and wrong, with some UI changes, more intense tracks, all out visual assault on the graphics and a worthy soundtrack; sound like it'll make a damn good sequel.
I don't think Studio Liverpool will just stop at a sequel though, they will turn it into a new beast entirely. I'm sure some will love it and others will dispise it, but all in all it will fit right along with the rest of the catalogue.
WipeOut++ will be to WipeOut as
Burnout Revenge is to Burnout Takedown
Come to think of it, after the Psyggy affair, Fusion debacle and what I'm sure was done helluva music licensing debate, we're damn lucky for ever WipeOut after good ol' F3600.
... If we don't have AG in 2024, I'm going to be right-pissed.
Hehehe, i saw someone saying WipEout Advanced, it sounds like a GBA version of WipEout :)
I´m thinking about WipEout Gravity, but i´ve seen VIipEout and i liked it!
