ya , dont get me wrong, i like the old wipeouts as well as the new ones, but 3 and xl... i just cant see those game mechanics really carrying over into a next gen console, wipEout is going next gen, as it should be, the classics are great but you just gotta accept the new wave, true fans of the whole series will appreciate HD for what it is. and yes i also believe that it will make wipEout more popular, which is great. Also if a full on WipEout ps3 comes out sometime in the future, more people will buy it due to HD
