back on topic
now the most wanted question is :
WHEN?
once we know when i'm quite sure we will know what as well...
I really dont get SL's silence here. At the very least a conformation that they're actually working on it would be a nice gesture... IF they are in fact working on it, which I'm not too confident they are any more.
Didn't I see a SL guy in one of these threads? Cmon man, give us something to work with here :)
Friend, you are looking for this.
AHAA! Well that was a relief :)
Interesting news: today I got a presser from Sony Austria, stating that from March 16 to April 18, every newly created PSN account gets a free voucher for the download of wipEout HD. I don't know if this is only for Austria, but I guess it's world/euro-wide.
Sounds to me like they wanna get the interest up before releasing DLC, but whaddaya know... I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that we'll see some DLC by end of April... *crossesfingers*
Are you saying that for a complete month, they're basically giving HD away for free?
yup. so if you have a PS3 and for whatever stupid reason feel that 20 bucks for wipEout are too expensive, just create a new PSN account and you get wipEout HD for free!
Its to set everyone up for the DLC hopefully, you sly dogs sonyQuote:

I have read a lot about the DLC and what ships and/or tracks people would like to see all listing tracks from Pulse.
Aren't people also interested in seeing some DLC from the first few games? I think the tracks from WipEout and XL would all work well in HD and in addition there are some bad-ass weapons that could be re-introduced - force wall? That was an awesome weapon, 500~0 in an instant! Cloak, reverse, etc.
I would love to see some of that come to the game eventually.
I want more that old tracks than the pulse ones, because if at last wipeout pulse is released to ps2 i will have the same tracks in hd. i prefer re-live the old tracks with ps3 graphics.
Speaking of adding classic Wipeout games features to HD, I've been playing the PS1 disc of XL on my PS3 trying to re-earn the Piranha and finish the game again and what I miss from that game is the ability to fire missiles and other weapons backwards, with the "Rear Lock On" message. Was way cool to get those pesky annoying pursuers off your tail. Some XL tracks in HD would look cool as well (Gare d'Europa, Valparaiso, Spilskinanke, and the last track).Quote:

You should not click the image if you are epileptic. But since everyone here plays WipEout HD I doubt there is someone epileptic here... :P
it has been repeated around to death, but i understand some people here are new so, sadly the codes for the first 3 wipeouts went lost so if studio liverpool would introduce some in HD they will have to re-do completely from scratch just copying them by sight i think, in other words it will ends with a " new " track but with an old name
it's just sad for me as well since as many of us most of my favourites are in the olds : p-mar project, gare d'europa, altima VII , hi-fumii, korodera , just to say some...
anyway just to put some words on the main topic, this news about wo hd free is just crazy:P, but if it means open the way for the incoming dlc then OK!
I'm not a programmer so I probably don't understand this too well, but if the codes are lost then how can a downloadable version of WipEout be offered and/or why can't the code be extracted from the current versions of the game directly from a game disc?
In addition even if the tracks would have to be rendered from scratch wouldn't the ability to add backwards firing weapons and old weapons that were in XL, WO and W3 be far simpler of a task?
one is compiled, one is code.
erm hope that wasnt too short. I have a great cake analogy
code - all the raw ingredients to make a cake
compiled - the finished cake
we have the cake on PSN in the early wipeout games, but you cant get back to the raw ingredients from it cause all the eggs have been broken and stuff mixed together :)
They did rebuild some of the old-school tracks for Pure, so i can't see why that shouldn't be possible for HD...
Given enough time I'd hope so. The polygon count for Pure was far lower, so I'd imagine it would be far more of a task to do so for HD
I am starting to doubt we will ever see DLC (tracks and modes) for the game...it has been soo long since it was released and we havent even get an official confirmation that is indeed coming.
I dont play WHD anymore because, besides having platinum, no one actually plays it online nowadays as there are many new games to enjoy...
WE REALLY NEED MORE CONTENT.
eLhabib, how long should it take for the E - mail to be sent?
say what?! everytime I am online I find real quality people to race with. That's the good thing about wipEout, you really only need 1 other person that is about your skill level, and you can have fun for hours on end.Quote:

@mdhay: what e-mail??? :?
I've got a feeling that new account holders get an E - mail with a promo code. I did with the Home Beta.
As I said, I don't know if this is worldwide or just for Austria (although I find that highly unlikely...).
Yeah... in either case, I'm totally ****ed.:(
maybe in may they release it...after everyone got the game for free:P they will have a big user base
this way they sell more:P
Where is the so called "support" from SL that was promised before the game came out...?
My guess Nunalho it will be either in Mumbai or New Dehli.
Possibly even in Old Delhi. ;)
This is not entirely true :naughty (dobyblue makes a good point :) )Quote:

This is around the point where I would like/need new content. I've done basically what most the game has to offer at this certain point in time and not playing it as often as I used too.
New Tracks / (online) Modes would be awesome.
There is always a way huh? :p Nothing is impossible, that's true. :) It might not be 100% of the original but it should be close enough if it's reverse engineered or something. Then it's simply scaling it up again. Although it may not be so simple because you only have the shape and not the actual data that generated the track in the first place, so you'll have to re-create that data... Hmm theories theories.Quote:

****. you beat me to the post Darkdrium. I was about to suggest the possibilities of reverse engineering the game from the pre-existing CD games. We'll find out sooner or later is what will happen i guess. Right now im getting absolutely ****ing bored shitless at the moment with HD, yet its still very addictive.
you know, i'm more than happy that have been wrong about that,Quote:

this is the same for me, sometimes HD causes strong headaches to me, i think is the combination of addiction + boring...Quote:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can I have some dlc. My WO addiction just needs a bit of reinvigoration.
just an update would suffice for now. i love this game so much but i don't want to become bored of it (until the exact moment when the new one is released :P)
If and when a new wipeout appears I'm hoping that we could have a dedicated controller for the game.
A long shot of the highest magnitude I know,but no harm in dreaming
Wasn't the current thinking that DLC would be coming out in April?
Frantic checking of the PStore tonight.
I remember the three year waits between WO3 and Fusion, then from Fusion to Pure.
This "waiting for DLC" stuff is nothing compared to that. Hence why I'm not quite as upset that it's not coming next week every week.
Another really cool weapon to add to the arsenal would be a 1st place homing missile, like the game Rollcage had back in the day. I think that would be an excellent addition... along with the bad ass force wall :D
