HD Fury Expansion Pack

[lunar]

I don't think SCEA is stupid enough to shoot itself in the foot like it did with Pulse.

I`m sure the Fury DLC will go to America, but I don`t think Sony`s feet are in a position where they can completely relax. I can easily imagine a situation where lots of players can`t get into Fury-only games, get the "you don`t have this content" message but don`t want to buy it or can`t afford it or it`s too expensive, so the people with Fury content don`t host games with it because they don`t get many people taking part, so the Fury content might as well not exist for online. Then people give up with Wipeout HD generally because it`s too much hassle getting a game together. I think this is what could happen if it`s not handled well, but we`ll have to wait and see about it suppose.

Perhaps all the fury content online races will be highlighted in red so it will be easy to see which games you can join. I don't see it as much of a problem.
Eg. in Everybody's golf there are DLC courses, and if you don't have the course you can't join the tournament, its not very off putting at all. If anything it persuades people to buy the content because they can see that they are missing out on the action.

I do hope you`re right. I just worry because the Pulse DLC drove a wedge in the online play - but then it was very expensive to buy, difficult to buy for some people, and not an impulse purchase at all. It made things confusing online. But Clap Hanz do always seem to know what they`re doing, so if that is the model you could be right, I hope you are

[Reezy]

Also theres the fact that Wipeout is a PSN only purchase, so 100% of the consumer base has bought off PSN before. Therefore it is much more likely people will buy Fury too.

I think Paul Tweedle already said on this forum how it will work. As described by someone, the player will have an error message when trying to enter a online event using Fury's content.

But since tracks and ships can ben modified after players have joined the event, I don't know if that message will be based on the game version of the host (so even with a Classic event the message will be displayed) or if you need to choose "Allow/Disallow Fury content" when creating an event. Otherwise, people could enter when the event has HD Classic only parameters, and get the message only when the race will start which will be very annoying for those who waited for nothing (I don't care since I will bought Fury >_<).

Just posting to say I'm quite happy with Fury coming for WHD
Day #1 Purchase here

Thanks SL / Sony
(FYI: WHD is my reason to own a PS3)

[Sch@dows]

Wipeout (1) was my reason to buy a PS1 instead of a Saturn, despite being a Sega arcade games fan ( '_')
But I must say that WOHD is one of the best game to make my 360 friends full of regrets T_T

[Nunalho]

WHD 1080p/60fps only possible on PS3

[Hemicrania]

Same here, except WipEout 2097 and Tekken 2 were the two games that made me buy one. I played them at the games rental store I used to rent SNES games from and instantly fell in love with both.

One-third of a 1080 in Bike Vert.

A 360 is also know as a Cuntbox here.

[Hemicrania]

I just rolled under the table, laughing my ass off. lol


how direct haha

[XBARNSTERX]

i'll tell you lol. wind-ups . their talking about the x-box 360.

[Spece2goin]

who's talking about Moa Therma mag strip?

[LOUDandPROUD]

Hey, hey now...don't anyone be bashing the 360, as they make fantastic paper weights! I'm kidding, actually...I own one and love it. Well, I've loved it ever since getting it back from it's RROD repairs. LOL

[Hemicrania]

ah, I was wondering if there was a "Ps3 fanboy" atmosphere over here, but it seems there are some people playing the shitbox.

sorry going offtopic.

FURY iS GREAT!! GIVE IT TO ME< NOW!!

[Rapier Racer]

I've got an elite, never really got into it I seem to instinctively not like it cos Playstation is in my blood 360 largely gathers dust.

However, Gears of War and Gears 2 are awesome games, its basically a dedicated gears machine not got many other games and I got no other games that actually get played on it as such.

It looses more points cos Wipeout ain't on it.

I want to see a good future racer on Xbox 360, if Billzard did a Rock N Roll Racing "HD Remix" with CD-quality music and new levels I'd buy that in a heartbeat, but as long as Blizzard only focuses on Diablo, Starcraft and WoW that's not happening (maybe Backbone Entertainment could cook something up).

Fatal Inertia didn't do it for me and although Split/Second looks awesome from what I've seen, I'm still iffy on buying a game from the same publisher as Hannah Montana.

[eLhabib]

Rock'n'Roll Racing! Hell yes!
