THE WipEout to end all WipEouts???

[cybrpnk]

Thinking about it...does anyone seriously think SL will even release a 'proper' WipEout for the PS3 after how much time, effort and work has gone into HD???

Was thinking today...if SL is taking awhile to nail down HD to perfection, will we even need another WipEout??? Here's a checklist...

Gameplay - check...if the controls experienced by 1UP and other previewers are to go anything by...HD will have pretty much a solid control scheme that will define WipEout

Graphics - check...1080p at 60fps...cmon...what more can you ask for??? Now if this applies to both split-screen and online as well...we do not need anything better...it will be perfection

Music - check...sure there are only what?? 8-9 tracks??? But we also have customisable soundtracks...plus...music can always be added on as DLC

Tracks - check...sure there are only 8 tracks with a few more added...but the WipEout series has a very rich resource of tracks spanning across a whole line-up of games. Plus, none of these tracks were in any way particularly bad...so I'm sure that if SL slowly or quickly released all the tracks ever made from WipEout, WipEout 2097, Wip3out + Wip3out SE, WipEout Fusion, WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse as free DLC, we will eventually have one helluva anti-gravity experience sitting in our black magic box...

So yeah...if SL can nail this one down to perfection...I reckon...this will be THE definitive WipEout...then they can focus on other projects...like...Rollcage...nudge nudge wink wink...

EDIT: Guess what I'm trying to say is that if the engine for WipEout can be done right first time on the PS3...all we need would only be updates that will enhance a game that is already pretty close to what we all envisioned in the cut-scenes of older WipEouts...

if anything...SL could probably even release filters that can change the 'look' of the game...maybe a 2097 filter, or Wip3out filter...

EDIT: Just to emphasise my point on how many tracks WipEout has given us over the years...
