+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 29, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted December 29, 2007 Did you hear that thud? That's the sound of our jaws accelerating to the floor, smashing into a million tiny pieces. New images of Wipeout HD have surfaced at PlayFrance, and they look absolutely stunning.What makes this more impressive is that all of these images will be running in full 1080p HD resolution, and at a silky smooth 60fps. That's almost unheard of in this generation of games. Imagine how exhilarating it will be to race these stunning tracks with Wipeout's trademark sense of speed. The French interview also reveals a few other interesting tidbits. Development of the game started less than a year ago, with a team of only six people. The team has grown to about 30 people now, with 3 of them having worked on the original PS1 Wipeout so many years ago. Although the game is just an HD version of the PSP games, the reworked textures and graphics will make it feel like a completely different experience. Also, expect licensed music from Kraftwerk, Mason, DJ Fresh and Stanton Warriors to return -- this time in glorious 5.1 surround sound. We can't wait for more.

HawkMan Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Looks a lot better than the previus batch, but still not exactly the all that they make it out to be What makes this more impressive is that all of these images will be running in full 1080p HD resolution, and at a silky smooth 60fps. That's almost unheard of in this generation of games. Maybe because ths isn't really "this generation of games", it's last generation with some touch ups and better textures. but it's still last gen at heart, and it's environments aren't exactly comparable to say PGR4 and such. Still it'd probably be fun to play. Though I still say any Slipstream5000 is the best of the Flyer racing games ever and Hi-Ovtance the best in the hover genre... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 :woot: all Sony needs to do is release those pre-paid PSN cards in Australia and I'd buy that the instant it cames out! (as I don't have a credit card). Hopefully it's gonna be based off the WipeOut's more recent excursion on the PSP, Pulse, even on the PSP that was jaw dropping...I can only begin to imagine that running 1080p on a PS3....

Lexcyn Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I can't wait. I just imported Wipeout Pulse from the EU and its amazing. If they can translate that onto the PS3 oh man :woot: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trong Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Honestly, it doesn't looks so good from that picture... It might be just because it's a low res picture but it doesn't seem that the textures are very high res, at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormier6083 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 It must be the picture... I would not expect that to be the actual game. I hope not O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 31, 2007 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 31, 2007 ^ It's a PSN title guys. Wipeout will not be competiting with the likes of Uncharted, or R&C or GT5. It's not going to be a graphics powerhouse, just a game that looks damn good with the speeds its going at, coupled with the amount going on onscreen. As long as it's super fast, super smooth and has some nice explosions to boot, it'll look great (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn00pie Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I absolutely hated this game on the PSP, definitely do not look forward to it on the PS3. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted December 31, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 31, 2007 I got Wipeout fusion a few weeks ago, as a cheap buy, I sucked badly at it, after playing it all day I got better, and started to kick some ass, then I went and had dinner, came back, and I had returned to sucking hard, lol. So I'll be looking forward to this game, but only with a fear of losing constantly. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Honestly, it doesn't looks so good from that picture... It might be just because it's a low res picture but it doesn't seem that the textures are very high res, at all... It must be the picture... I would not expect that to be the actual game. I hope not O_o Well yeah, standing still this game isn't anything special. Wipeout Pure/Pulse on the PSP for example, look like rubbish when it is a still shot. But there is one thing that screenshots can't show, the speed of this game. When your seen it running, it's another story! this game was designed to look good and run fast and trust me, it will! :woot: Also think about it, considering the speed of this game, little details are pointless..I mean what is the point is highly detailed textures if your going past them at 700km/hr+? seriously!

PiracyX Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It looks better i must admit than earlier screenshots, but its still far from what was expected. 1080p @ 60fps will be a breeze (actually a walk in the walk) for the PS3 with hardly any graphics on screen so i fail how we can all get excited about this game.

theyarecomingforyou Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Wipeout games are great but they really aren't very demanding and the graphics aren't very impressive. It would be more surprising if it WASN'T running at 60fps / 1080p, as it really isn't a "next-gen" game. If we were talking about the latest GT game then I'd be more excited. Still, it should be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Game looks alright & I am sure It's gonna be a blast. But the "1080p, 60fps amagawd!!11" just makes me roll my eyes - You fly around circuits at insane speeds, having just a few walls, some scenery and the opponents to render, most likely everything is just gonna be a blur at high speeds, so no point in the extreme details. Why the need to point out something you'd expect then ... Like boasting 1080p, 60fps in a Pong Port for either consoles, it's stupid! ( All just IMO ofc. ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
