Every time the game is mentioned outside WipeoutZone on the interwebs there's been about a 99% positive average response. IGN, NeoGAF, even the troll-laden 4th channel - the only widespread complaint seems to be "when is it FINALLY coming out???".

Wipeout HD has the potential to sell itself, with the insane graphics power and online play that may actually work like clockwork.

I'm really excited.

(maybe I shouldn't jinx it by declaring super excitement. I did that with Fusion and Pulse. That went well, eh? :- )
