How can that be? The game has already been submitted to be rated. It is my understanding that an unfinished game can not be rated? Am I wrong?Originally Posted by eLhabib
Yes, daily updates this week with new content for Super Stardust HD and Elefunk promised. Lets keep our fingers crossed for Wipeout!

I don't think WO can be released like that, without any news.
Extreme Pilot
TBH I think your right. We will see a lot of buzz about the game before it is released. This is when we know when the game will come out. Until then guys, sit tight guys. Looks like my Wii will be getting a heck loads of attention now

You don't think Wipeout can be released without any news? Did you miss the Pulse stealth release bit then yes? They did it once they can do it again.
HD has an advantage though, there will be a big Wipeout HD screen in your face as soon you enter the PS Store when it comes out. People still need to know its coming though, not everyone checks the store every week especially in Europe where the updates are largely gash compared to the Jap and US stores.
Extreme Pilot
This is meant to be the flagship game for the PSN online store. Sony are not that stupid to stealth release this title.
Venom Pilot
they just let square release FF XIII on xbox, i think we can credit them for being pretty bloody stupid
it's all very well to sit back and let m$ pay their way into this generation with exclusives but to just let key PS brands go multiplatform is gonna hurt them more than they realise. meh.
Venom Pilot
I guess the point is that these guys who manage the areas of the companies that decide this sort of thing are privvy to all sorts of data that us, as peons, are not. So decisions that seem nonsensical to us will make some kid of sense to them. That's not to say that all business sense is good.

Lol the only thing not making me sell my PS3 and get another 360 is Wipeout to behonest. The 360 now has everything, but it's cheaper and has a better online system. I think Sony might be in trouble again for 2008. Roll on 2009 eh?
Extreme Pilot
nah ps3 is right up with 360 now, catching up quick, more affordable FREE (and becoming much better) online service. achievements system now, in game XMB, and ps home by end of year. as for games, little big planet, resistance two, mgs 4 , much more innovative download titles, psp compatibility. the only thing i see ps3 lacking in terms of games right now is RPG ,but theya re coming towards end of year, fallout 3, valkyrie, FF13

Sony's show is over and... not A single word about WipEout...
What the hell are they doing?
I'm so disppointed... Does that mean WoHD wil be the last one?This franchise is so underestimated...
Content Contributor
Just as expected, really. It's an SCEE title, they're not gonna have it on big display in the US if they don't know when it's done. Just wait for Games Convention Leipzig, it's gonna be there, I bet. Wouldn't surprise me if HD's release in Europe is planned to coincide with the GC, actually...
Still, I would have loved to see just a tiny glimpse of it at Sony's E3 presser. As it stands now, they don't seem to have any confidence in the title over there...
Veteran Pilot
Pffft Sony are killing the franchise themselves, it's pissing me off, I almost wish it was in the hands of Microsoft and on the 360 at least people would know it exists then and we'd probably be playing it already.
Content Contributor
But then you'd have to pay monthly to play the only game you bought the 360 for online... >.<
It's too bad it wasn't shown at E3 I agree but we can still hope to play this in 2008...
Veteran Pilot
£40 a year big deal thats like £3.30 a month, however when (if) the PSN finally reaches Lives standard then you will have a point.
Also I already own a 360.
Phantom Pilot
Looks like no mention of WOHD at the Sony E3 conference.
Well, I have to say that the announcements I have seen from E3 so far have all been very meh.
Sony is selling PS3's more as Blu-ray players than consoles, Nintendo are just piling on the gimmicks, and once again Microsoft take up the mantle left by Sega to supply the good old hardcore gamers stuff.
I so wish that SL were devs for 360 rather than PS3. It's just so hard to like Sony at the moment.
And for the record, as an owner of all three systems, I have to say that the PS3 and Wii online functionality has got a HELLUVA long way to go to match Xbox live. I don't particularly like paying for XBL, but you certainly get quality for that cash.
Frankly if WOHD doesn't appear soon, my PS3 may well follow the PSP down to the local 'Game' for a trade-in...
EDIT: Took me so long to write that post that everyone had already said what I typed anyway! D'oh!

whaddaya mean the only game for 360 online? there is TONS of GREAT online games on the 360. Hell, I really consider myself a Sony fanboy and Microsoft hater, but the 360 is just unbeatable at the moment.
Funny how Sony claims to have the biggest shooter this year with Resistance 2. They're acting like they never even heard of a tiny little MONSTERHIT called Gears of War 2.
Phantom Pilot
I think MAG is gonna be killer, I'm a Planetside veteran so I'll definately be playing that.
Extreme Pilot
Well only time will tell, but i think Sony has dropped the ball this generation. If the Japs weren't so against the 360, the Microsoft and Nintendo would be way ahead. The PS3 is suffering.
I still think there will be a proper Wipeout for the PS3, but damn i wish Pysgnosis were still about. Then I would have had my G-police 3 on the PS2 maybe? And Wipeout would have been released by now. But then again, Sony has been funding them guys so who knows, I maybe wrong
To sum things up, E3 is total balls this year. Only thing good is the Wii 1:1 motion control. That should be interesting
Phantom Pilot
very disheartening sony...
I reckon a showing of HD at e3 would have blown everything there out of the water...except for maybe FF13 which is looking beautiful...(anyone catch shiva and ifrit in the trailer...or was I imagining things again????)
so yeah...if HD had a showing, this would probably have defined the PSN as the prime choice for online seeing how good a quality game HD is for a downloadable game...
cmon sony, what is going on with WipEout???
Zone Pilot
Optimistically, they're just being incredibly tight-lipped about the series' future. And remember - there's been absolutely no mention of an F-Zero game for the Wii aside from one comment before the system launch that went something like "F-Zero would work better with a traditional controller." At least we know there will be a WipEout title this year for the PS3.
SL can't kill the series, as some have implied, that would leave them with an empty catalogue of projects since Sony lost the rights to Formula 1 games. SCE Europe wouldn't really try it, since the series means a lot to their success as well. Plus, Euro Wipers have gotten so much more than those in North America, from extra downloadable content to a whole extra game (W3SE).
But it seems like lately, SL has been less and less willing to push the series' development. Pulse feels like a subtly tweaked Pure with new tracks and online play. XL was like that in comparison to WipEout original, but we in general regard XL as the series' pinnacle. On the other hand, Pulse has been voted 2nd Worst in the series next to Wipeout Fusion by the community. And HD is nothing more than a glorified re-master of Pulse with a few Pure tracks thrown in for familiarity. It's gotten like that because I think a few of us have scared the developers away from really being too risky, on the basis that "they did this in Fusion". So now SL is playing it safe. And that's going to ruin the series if they keep doing that.
