OK, but that's quite a big prediction to make. They couldn't make the newer ships outright faster and still integrate them, in my opinion. It would also raise all sorts of issues. As you say, it would bring about a new balance, or, to put it another way, change the current game. In addition, as an expansion, a player would still have to buy HD and possibly Fury too. So I still think that, if you really want a game that is different and more like the originals, then a whole new game would be better. I suspect that a WipEout 2097 HD that could be played as a stand-alone game would be much better than trying to integrate something with a whole different focus and balance into the same game.
