IMO, WipeOut HD has allways been the true NextGen WipeOut.
Okay, it's primay content are recycled materials, but consédring the enhancement (new textures, new 3D models, even more animated tracks, etc.) it wasn't just an HD conversion as Tekken was for example.

I read somewhere (i think it was on CVG in a previous interview) that the team hopping to release DLC such as tracks from older wipeout and totally fresh ones, new ships (they didn't precised if there will be real new ships) and maybe additionnal game mode (2 were evaluated).
I know this was before the delay (i think it was just after the press release was out), but it seems to me that WipeOut HD is the Gran Turismo 5 of futurist races, since we buy a base product and complete it from time to time.


About the additionnal features, the 2 player offline mode is a real good idea (but i think we should be prepared to some framerate drop). I didn't understand the important thing about the "reversed'" tracks, but it's true that Pure tracks didn't have reverse mode like Pulse (White / Black). It won't be a simple task I think.
The multiple HUD is the answer to thos who were constantly arging about which one they prefered ... who said SL didn't listen to players ?!


I notice that the SCEE guy didn't deny the epileptic problem (although it should have been easy to say "No it wasn't a epileptic issue"). And since I think that the new features could have been added through DLC and have nothing to do with a "technical issue" mentionned at E3, I think that since the game had to be delayed, they chose to implement the DLC in the game. But I also think that the game will not be at the same price it should have been. With all that content, I suppose it will be sold like GT5P around 40€ in europe (T_T).
