Is that an upside note or a downside note?
Content Contributor
Well it's somewhere on the side. I can't really say where though. Maybe it's diagonally to the side, in one of four possible spots? Or between the diagonals and the vertical/horizontal, in one of the eight possible spots? I don't know...
PS: If there was a reference to something I obviously didn't get it.
Rapier Pilot
Indeed I do. Utica to be exact.
Dark: i didn't get it either. I hope it's upside though.
On-topic: Can't wait for Sept., or is it Oct.? Ahh, well, whenever.

*does a 50,000 dance*...whatever that looks like...
so...this PAX 2008 thing looks promising...new videos???
with all that 3D model data of the craft floating around...(no pun intended)...I was thinking today that it wouldn't be difficult at all for Studio Liverpool to upload that data into say maybe Objet, or any other nice 3D printers or rapid prototypers and make some cool models of the craft...
finish the model off with some nice sanding and airbrush work...(burn marks from missiles and whatnot included)
get some perspex...cut it into a nice little stand...suspend the model on it...
voila...WipEout HD collectible model...
Content Contributor
I would pay whatever price.
Phantom Pilot
Yeah I'd definately like some wipeout collectable ship models... id pay just about anything also, especially if they levitated above their stand or something. I laugh thinking about what id pay for wipeout hd right now... I just spent 60 dollars on three wipeout hd t-shirts alone...
Vector Pilot
Oh what a great idea. Wipeout collection ships. Maybe they could hover by using magnets. That'd look really cool!
Vector Pilot
I'm sure one model was made back in the days, like 10 years ago or something (maybe Colin can confirm). It was litteraly floating, thanks to a magnet. But i don't think it has ever been commercialised

If I lived in Seattle still I would definitely go to PAX to try the game! Totally worth missing work or whatever.
I think there are lots of Wipers in this area
My understanding is that Avenger lives in central upstate NY (Utica) while q-dmc lives in eastern upstate NY (vicinity of Lake George). There are a bunch of wipers in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA," as they like to call it) including Task, Spaceboy Gojo, Flashback Jack and maybe some others? Jabberjaw lives east of New York state-- Vermont is it?
Lots of potential to meet wipers in person (though unfortunately I haven't had a chance yet because of work demands
Heh, true enough
Also, there are no houseboats in this area-- lots of water but no houseboats. Probably because property and house prices are 1/4 or 1/5 that of Seattle. Oh, and then there is the cold winter thing in this continental climate that upstate New York has. Probably cold as hell to live on a houseboat in the winter.

Just spent a VERY long time reading this whole thred lol, i'm gutted i never knew about this forum as i've been a Wipeout fan since PS1 days. i even kept my wipeout fusion, about the only game i did keep other than TT when giving my PS2 to my other halfs kid sister (HER BRIGHT IDEA). But its taking so long and it seems so close i cant bring my self to re-play it any more...I just want WOHD sooooo bad. Its getting bad when u finish work and the first thing u do is check the PSN, and that been going on for far to long...my worry is when were all done with WOHD what next?? we would all sell our grans for this game (or just maybe me) so when were wanting more were gonna be expecting something unlike anything SL can pull off at the mo, but just to think with the expirience and advance in devs for the game it could make WOHD look dated...ok i'm just really wanting this to come out next thurs....Oh and grat forum guys

Much like this floating globe!! Only their would be several magnets on one big grid that connect like a puzzle peice, or that can be taken apart and seperated throuthout the room if you wanted... saweet idea...I'm sure one model was made back in the days, like 10 years ago or something (maybe Colin can confirm).

Welcome to the WZ, flashbax. If you ever read all of the WZ threads, you would have not my sympathy but my stunned admiration. It was a lot easier to do when I joined the original forum and read it all, but that old version is gone now except possibly on one of AmigoJack's harddrives. Enjoy the now.

Started to read the Release date thread the day i joined, think it was thurs. Its not to busy at work so i just sat and read as much as i could (to avoid eyes bleeding) in between work and finished last night. Back on topic, well kinda. The latest firmware is going to have the ability to take pics from games your playing, i think it was called screen grab? now i'm thinking this is due out soon and maybe will be around the same time we get WOHD and if so the 2 of them could make for some serious images to show your mates...
Veteran Pilot
WOHD has a Photo Mode anyway
Phantom Pilot
Yeah I have to admit...I really like the way these forums have evolved over the years...and it's even nicer to see SL gracing us with their presence on the forums every now and then...Welcome to the WZ, flashbax.

So much love...
In the meantime, whilst waiting for WipEout HD, I've once again fallen for downloading another game...The Last Guy...interesting...

Hey guys, I'm spanking new to this forum, and I'm sorry for asking so much from you guys without contributing much to this forum, but I really need your help.
Just an answer to this question:
If you were a betting man, when do you think WO:HD would be released?
Obviously on a Tuesday because most new games are released every Tuesday. Secondly, most likely in September here due to the recent news.
I'm asking because I'm heading an initiative on a multiconsole forum, where we have all resident electronic musicians creating an album SPECIFICALLY for Wipeout:HD. We've actually released 2 albums before, with general themes, but we're all excited for Wipeout (got a lot of us into this sort of music to begin with) and thought that this project would be perfect.
We started around a month ago thinking, "Yeah we got a lot of time, the game is probably delayed until December, we can even work on a couple of tracks" because the news reports all hinted at a 6 month delay into December. But because of this news everyone is scrambling to get their stuff done.
So I set a new timeline where we have to be done by the 23rd of September...what do you guys think?
It's funny, I've been waiting for this game FOREVER, and the second I hear news it's coming out so very soon, I'm actually stressed rather than relieved!
