    Even more bizarre because almost nobody in the world knows who "torlporl" is nor follows the Wipeout franchise enough to interpret his post. It's a very subtle joke-post on several different levels.

    That does sound anecdotal to many of us who doesn't have a close friend ( in term of distance) who can come and play splitscreen with you but for me it was my most important point.
    Undoubtly , to let the game more friendly splitscreen is the way baby

    Big Thx to SL now i am sure at 100% to get my ps3 before HD

    Exclusive HD footage! If you know your way around the internet you'll know what this is. Plus looking at the previous thread chatter I can't help but do it.

    I wonder how 2P Split Screen will affect the graphics...

    Okay, yes, it's a desperation attempt to get this thread back on topic. I know that. Alternatively, I could have written a version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" that fits the WipEout theme, alas, my rhyming patterns are worse than flying for G-Tech.

    It's a very valid question, as I recall someone from the studio explained that all the stuff would have to be downgraded to a lower res in order to be displayed twice on the same screen. So doing that for the entire game could take a while.

    It's a tough one, I think - most PS3 games haven't even dared go there yet. And those that have (Haze) look like **** in the first place.

    Knowing the lead of HD and the other guys involved, I shouldn't be surprised if they pull it off, because they're capable of delivering great things given the time to do it in.

    As hard core fans on here, it's natural to want the game released yesterday no matter what state it's in, but you have to keep the faith that a delay of a few months is only for the benefit of WipEout in the long run.

    Five laps at Phantom's what I'm thinkin' of, you wouldn't get this from any other guy...

    My main concern is that it runs smoothly in split-screen, by default the game will look better in still shots than the last three games, but it means absolutely squat if the game moves as brisk as a barge towing three barges.

    The artists formerly known as Psygnosis can definitely pull this off.

    Quick interview about HD (in 4:56 onwards). Something about delay, gameplay footage from Ubermall, Sol2 and Metropia and (yikes!) new sponsor:

    Would you believe the man is still touring - I know his drummer.

    On the splitscreen and how it looks, while they may have to downgrade the detail, the images are then scaled down to only half the size across one dimension, to fit two screens in one. That means that some of the detail would have been lost anyway so there's a good chance much of the downgrading wouldn't even be noticed.
