Awesome Rob, thanks!

"Before the end of the year". Cripes. Time to check the wallet, and hold off on the new bathroom.

[infoxicated]

No kidding - my PS3 is penciled in for September. Which, coincidentally, is also the time my bank manager is scheduled for suicide watch.

YEAH! at last, Wipeout back on a console in some form, now spew fourth the details what tracks what tracks!!

"Wipeout HD will feature a online multiplayer mode and, while unconfirmed, likely HD-enabled tracks from Wipeout Pulse, as well."

YES hopefully 8 or more players will be possible now with the PSN and the PS3s power, I've played more than on Motorstorm so there is no excuse for this Wipeout not being able to do the same

More NEWS?!!!! is anymore to come? this is getting too excited!

Well I am getting a PS3 in August coming

I`m looking forward to this.

Yeehah!
Good job I decided not to get a 360.
I sure hope they come up with a better name than WipEout HD

[Asayyeah]

New forum Yeah !!
Awesome news , thx Rob. I wasn't a very great ps3 fan but with that new HD coming i may changed my opinion very quickly

[Rapier Racer]

HD is the name for the PSN release but won't be name for the proper PS3 Wipeout thats supposed to grace us in 08, good god think of the possible details they could get on that Blu Ray

[Mad-Ice]

That's awesome!! Big big news and it will be there before the end of the year. That is so fast. I don't know if I can save the money that quickly? Question: Why is Wipeout HD called FX350? It will be released after FX400 Pulse!!! Because of a sreenshot of the original Wipeout, will this mean that we can expect some tracks from every version?

[Sausehuhn]

Maybe something between the FX300 and FX400?

[stin]

Very good question Max! Does that means more back story coming up?

OK, that was the signal for me to get a PS3. And the signal to beg for a steep price drop.

Speaking of backstory, if we're looking at an entirely new racing league inserted in between Pure and Pulse, my AG Press thread is screwed. :/

[Asayyeah]

Why is Wipeout HD called FX350?

Possible explanation : the scene takes place in between the 2 leagues with tracks from pure & pulse : that could be awesome
Shitta on HD : to see Widescreen all the details from the walls you ll hit

[q_dmc12]

Heh, whew - for a moment there I thought the next gen WipEout was announced

EDIT: My mistake again - I only glanced at the pic of WO1, posted then read

[supersocks]

Meh. No F3600 remake after all.

[RJ O'Connell]

You also forgot the aggravating smashes in the low-hanging billboards at Citta Nuova. Now in 1080i High-Definition, with 5.1 surround sound effects of the sickening thud that results in a dead stop!

If it were an F3600 remake they'd better not do some silly radical change, like introduce double-hull Qirex and Auricom at a time when there was no such thing. Or make tracks like Karbonis total undriveable shite like it was in Wipeout Pure.

[mdhay]

@RJ.....
you can still do your press thread, just pretend HD never happened.

[q_dmc12]

*no amount of words can describe how much I am laughing right now*

[RJ O'Connell]

Well as Asa said, it could be a compilation of Pure (300) and Pulse (400) - most likely that's the case, unless anyone at SL (Rob, Colin) has an explanation as to why it's FX350.

Either way, it might not matter to me that much if the PS3 continues to sell badly at a price of 1 Arm and 2 Legs and I can't afford it. >_<

[Hellfire_WZ]

*writes mental note to self*

GET A F**KING PS3!

Was planning on one next year but I think this is the perfect incentive to bring forward the investment
