Really?

So why the total overhaul to the gameplay and visuals since E3? It was already perfect. I mean, it looked like...Wipeout! Even the downloadable video from the official WipeoutHD website shows signature Wipeout gameplay sequences. No in-yer-face HUDs blocking the horizon, no blurring effects and no nauseating speed boost jolts. The problem with these effects is that they contradict one another and it looks ugly. For a start, the blurring effect looks physically wrong for the external ship view - the focus is on the CENTRE of the screen, which would only be correct if you were in cockpit view mode. Coupled with the stretching HUD, it looks like you a flying into the track! And then this conflicts with the horrible yo-yo-ing speed boost effect. And how many times does this occur during a typical race? I cant believe SL think this is a step forward for Wipeout. I could get the same effect from my old CRT TV!!

For the love of god, give us hardcore wipers a classic Wipeout gameplay mode, please!
