PS: the "Environment Builder" part is for Sumi ;)

"The Wipeout Team are looking for an experienced Network User Interface Programmer to take control of the lobby, ladders and other client/server front end systems. The candidate must have good C/C++ skills and at least one published title. Knowledge of HTML, Java, Tomcat & JSP is a requirement and experience with SCE-RT would be an advantage."

Its under Network User Interface Programmer

cool, it's interesting seeing the varied sources that game info can come from...
so we now know that wipeout/ps3 is planned to have online play with a ladder system

was there ever any doubt? ;)

HOLY ****!!!!
wipeout ps3!!
this is gonna be VERY entertaining.
it's well over 1 year away. but still coming none the less.!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:dizzy

Great find Yawns :) Something is afoot at SL. Though, unless I missed something on that page, there`s nothing to confirm that this lucky person will be working on a PS3 Wipeout. It could be a new PSP wipeout game, or even some other possibility. I read a few reports that EU Pure would feature online gaming. It`s curious that on the US version you click "Download" to go online and get your packs. On the EU you click "Online". Now we`re really into wild speculation of course. ;) I really hope it`s PS3 though.

Online PS3 Wipeout, that’s enough to make you wet yourself! If it’s anything like Pure with better than Fusions graphics, which were nice then WHOA :dizzy

i dunno, i have a bad feeling that it is going to turn out like fusion :frown:

I have a bad feeling that it is going to turn out like Pure.


Nothing against Pure - I really love this game - but I don't want a Pure2. I want longer, wider and thinner tracks, I want other weapons, I want another design, I want more history and I last but not least I want ANOTHER HANDLING!
I want a real WipEout that is going back to the roots somehow.

I want to ba able to afford a PS3, then I might consider getting one in a coupla years. I cant just rely on Wipeout and UT'07 to keep me amused with something that expensive...

Ive got my psp, which is good and all, but the lack of games is bothering me a bit.

Im lookink forward to seeing screenies (E3 anyone?) There is always some soret of magic with me when I see some for the first time.

Max: both wider And thinner tracks?

guessing that some parts are wide and some thin, but yes as max said, i want a wipeout with a more real feel to it

@ Lance and Dan

yes. I want thinner and wider parts. And then some tracks with more wider than thinner parts and the other way around.
Something new.
Do you know how fast you can get on these wider parts?

exactly as fast as you get on thin parts :P

I think the general width of the tracks in Pure is just right. The Delta packs experiment nicely with track width: from the huge open first turn of Iridia to the bottlenecks of Anulpha Pass and Koltiwa, but any more than this would be too much, and in the game generally there`s not too much of anything regarding narrowness or wideness, which leaves you wanting more, which is good. This is possibly a lesson learnt from Fusion, which was a game that always tried to go too far in almost every respect, and ended up going nowhere. I`d be very surprised if they turned out another Fusion disaster on PS3, particularly if the Pure team inherit the job.

@ eL

yes and no. A wider part can have more speed pads (because of more space) and you don't hit the wall that easily, so you also don't lose speed.


@ lunar

I like the mix as well. Even when I don't like the Delta Pack that much (mainly because of the design) I like the mix between thinner and wider parts.
But Pure's tracks a short. And I hope on PS3 we will see tracks as long as Altima or Cubiss Float.
If they really make that long tracks it's important to keep the track interesting. Bigger and thinner parts would bring variation... not to mention open areas like they are on Florion Height which I would like to see back - wisely used they can be alot of fun I'm sure.

yes i see what you mean max, good idea. but i think in general the tracks need to be thicker all round slightly (exept for the finner parts).

also still as max and i said: a more real feel would be better

not really wipeout ps3 info, but it could be if the motion sensing is implemented in a future wipeout game. It sounds a bit scary to me, but if this controller works well it could possibly free us to turn and change pitch simaltaneously, such as you can only do accurately with a neg at the moment.

I'm not fussed about what the PS3 controller will look like, but it would be nice to go hands on with the 'banana phone'.

As for changing direction and pitch at the same time accurately in PS3 WipEout, I'm all in favour of that, should be great. :)
