The cat's out of the bag guys.
Due for release 2009 .
WIPEOUT XL for PS3 as listed on IGN's new releases due list.
And at a price of $28 I think this will be a Download only.

But it's got a release date of DEC 31st ....
I hope that is wrong.
Sorry for posting this in two different areas ,but I thought it warranted it.

And at 28$ they must be kidding. I know it's WipEout XL but damn, if it's at that price I'm going on a tour in Quebec (the province) to find a copy, it's going to be less expensive.
For information purposes, the highest price on the PSN Store for PS1 classics is 9.99$, Castlevania SotN.
Great for those who don't have it I suppose. I still have the 2097 original PS disc :) I hope they get round to Wip3outSE on PSN though, could do with that!
(woops didn't notice other thread)
That might mean 12 player online races.:nod:hyper
It would mean 15 player online races :) Don't ****ing change it, The physics I mean. But at least have analog work, dpad would be awful
I wonder if NeGcon support will still be implemented?
Now that will sent the cat amongst the pigeons,watch the price of those go through the roof [as if they haven't already] if it is usable with this version.
So is this going to be a psn classic? Or remade with PS3 visuals??? 40 is justified if XL is in 1080p 60fps.
Yeah, I'm guessing if this is true, it will be a 1080p/60fps version of Wipeout 2097, like HD is for Pure/Pulse.
PS1 games on the PSN aren't anymore than $8.45 AU. I'm hoping it's a typo. Some new WipEout stuff could be nice...
Oh a full HD version of 2097 would rock my world!
I hope that is the case, otherwise that price is ridiculous :?
I've not played it before, but I've heard XL is quite good. In some ways I hope it's not true. It could lead to a whole new level of addiction. Although I would quite like to know what all the fuss is about.
Price quoted is too cheap for a disc.
Where does that leave you?
US $28 on What?
A massive down loadable 2097 in HD .
YES PLEASE.
I highly doubt this, it doesn't really seem like the sort of thing that just happen to me. We already have WipEout Pulse on PS2 and PS3 supposedly coming out within less than a month. There has been no proper proof of either of these, but I do know Studio Liverpool likes to keep things quiet.
I'd like to see it happen as well, but it probably won't. That's my pessimistic view on this sort of thing :D. Maybe a huge E3 WipEout party will happen, which would be awesome.
Old skool psx action... hopefully it'll be a 60hz version (like XL) and not the slower 50hz version ive had to get used all these years.... (2097)
Online racing would be good, plus minor graphic tweaks (1080p... hmm unlikey as it'll just be a port)
The d-pad rules... :g
It's easier for SCEE to appease the die hard wipeout fans with the requests at this forum to reproduce ,what for a better tearm's "The Classic Wipeout" experience.
My god,it wouldn't take much of a search to see how many people here have requested such a thing,I being one.
I would rather have a REALLY well reproduced 'CLASSIC" updated than a half arsed new game.
We [ Niggling doubt's that not all at this forum after the EURO Convention] are completely in the dark regarding the don't know for a fact WHAT is coming.
15 days to go till E3.
If nothing announced during those 3 days then it's back to hypothetical situations.
I'm dreading that COLIN and so should you.
I haven't played XL or 2097, so I'm pretty excited at the prospect of these games being HD-ified and brought to PS3...it'll be like brand new Wipeout to me! :hyper
Well it's coming on to easily 10 + years since 2097 was originally released.
SCEE must be of the opinion that since it is such a "Classic Game" that those over 30 would of "Moved on" and "Stopped playing games" so that they could "re Market" XL/2097 to a NEW GENERATION.
WRONG!!!!!
Watch for the backlash fools.
Wipeout is a Generational thing,kids these days will not put the time into learning and mastering the game.
They have far to many other distractions
Why WipeoutHD was so cheap compared to these announced $28?
hope they'll work to make it worth the money! i'm looking forward to discover the myth!
Interesting
So there is additional content from the original PSX version to the PSN version, yes?
Who Knows ?
I don't.
But Logic vis a vie pricing would suggest so
uhm, since it was announced at au.ps3.ign.com, aren't we talking Aussie dollars?
Most likly yes,
1 Australian dollar is about 1.4-5 Euro. i think.
at this time is clear if it is simple a psn addition of psx classic like wipeout1, or it is another HD completely re-make?
for those who have never touched wipeout xl/2097, go pick it up for like 5 dollars on ebay for psx and play it on your ps3...even the original version of XL/2097 is better than HD 10+ years ago. WOHD couldnt dream of ever being as good as XL was back then. With that said id instantly drop WOHD garbage 1.4 for WOHD XL
28 Australian dollars
then that comes closer to 40€... +taxes = 50€ which is correct for a blue ray game in france (they are at 60-70€ for new games, but wipeout may be cheaper...)
As I posted in another thread, if this is a HD remake of 2097, I'd fix bugs like no shields on Talon's Reach, get rid of shortcuts through solid objects (yeah, Arnaud is going to hate it), and Piranha has to be just awful in one area to make it fair.
That is, IF they're re-making the game instead of what will most likely happen, a digital re-issue of the PS1 original.
or maybe make pirhana only available offline or if online all players must use it. shortcuts should stay ...i mean, HD has shortcuts as well, maybe not clipping though walls like woxl but they are there...and believe me, woxls shortcuts are much more difficult to pull off correctly than HDs, especially oddessa keys.
but RJ is right , it will probably be a re-release with nothing really new. the price is probably wrong...IF SL is still working on extra things for HD along with that 3d stuff too , it would be silly for them to split the community by releasing another new wipeout while still updating HD. WOHD would essentially die...especially for many of us here, who were raised on old school wipeouts such as 3/xl/2097.
If this is true please keep the following
1) scraping physics: It is great how it is, rewarding good driving. Do not make it like the newer games
2) Do not Change the ships statistics: leave it alone please
3) Keep physics as is
4) Keep piranha as is. People don't need to choose it, it's that simple. Maybe a ship select screen for the host to disable that one ship. As many will tell you piranha vs piranha, is amazing racing
5) Use the XL version, or a choice of either one. Either way though, they would run at 60 fps.
Things that would be ok to add
1)solid walls, but keep shortcuts if wall is not in the way. No damn wuss wagon for going one millimeter off course like in pure, or respawn. Actually, keep wuss wagon, but allow the nice shortcuts that don't cut through track walls. I'm fine with lot's of walls, but some skill shortcuts are very fun
2) Add a speed class, yes this game could be much faster, and still easily playable.
3)Add weapons to piranha, like wo64. IF there is going to be a supership, it might as well be a supership. Maybe that could be the choice for online SUPERSHIP: on/off.
4) Make sure there is analog support
5) Sensitivity adjustments for the analog control would be great (not talking about tilt here, but the actual sticks, this would help wheels as well.
COULD THIS BE THE 3D VERSION?
how you are sure about that, i haven't read it anywhere, until someone from SL come here and say what it's going on i'm more willing to think on a simple psn reissue of 2097/XL like wipeout did, otherwise to me has no sense...and since i've already have my original copy from years...Quote:

The main hurdle there would be the physics and I would be stunned if SL move away from their WO HD physics any time soon. People have been calling out for 2097 handling since, well, 2097. If they could or would do it, I think we'd have seen it by now. And 2097 physics would be entirely different to HD, so I think it would be a massive amount of work from scratch.
There also the tDR art issue but they could replace the logos and tDR design work I guess.
Just all sounds very doubtful to me.
Yet, if the price point is right, it's too expensive to be just the PS1 game.
If it does turn out to be 2097-related at all, then I'm guessing a WO HD type with classic tracks. But the classic tracks would likely be very altered, as they were with the classic tracks in Pure. They'd have to be to work with the HD handling.
But who knows? I certainly don't. I'd actually be surprised if this amounted to anything more than just add-on tracks for HD.
This thread is a perfect example of how quickly a rumor can turn into wrong expectations.
People, think about it! We KNOW that SL lost the track data of the old wipEout games! How in the world are they gonna HDify 2097 without the code?! Also, as Dogg Thang mentioned, there are legal issues to consider as well.
Sorry to burst that wonderful sounding bubble of an HD 2097, but there's no way this is gonna happen...
you just ruined my hopes and dreams of wipEout becoming excellent and godly again ;)...but yea your right habibinator...never happen, for many MANY reasons
ive only started A.G racing since the release of WOHD.im hooked! the wifes hooked! cant be bad:dizzy taking WO back to the future's got to be good:robot
I don't know where people got the idea of WipEout XL in HD, however I'm still hoping for a release of XL on the PS1 Classics, at a reasonable price (Like, NOT 28$).
Yeah, at maybe, say, nothing? :lol
(I want this game again so bad, and we all know what my mum would say to buying it:().
yeah, indeed, remenber there's a supposed wipeout pulse for ps3 to come as wellQuote:

Step right up folks! If this is indeed a remake, then watch as SL rapes every wonderful memory you have of the best entry in the Wipeout series!
- Craft with weight and momentum? Gone.
- Non-penalizing wall-scraping? Gone.
- Qirex in its rightful place as an AG powerhouse above Auricom? hahahaGone.
etc etc blah blah blah hatred for post 1999 wipeout games etc
But a Wipeout 2097 "HD Remix" is about as likely to happen as Cricket becoming the United States' most popular sport within the next year, and even if it were to happen, despite what you think Studio Liverpool aren't stupid enough to turn the game into "Wipeout HD 2097 Season Mod". Nick Burcombe won't allow it.
Sorry if I'm being stupid. But where does the figure of $28 come from?
An article posted on IGN Australia. Which is why I'm calling shenanigans on the "oh it's going to be a remake!" part, since Australia's inflation rates are much higher, if I'm correct (if I'm not, please point it out.)
