WipEout HD Now available for download


Recommended Posts

like it is for you Oz, the UK store is being a bitch for me. i would download it on the US store, but does that affect online multiplayer?? i know some games that are on disc are restricted to the region they are distributed in...

It's finished downloading and i've just had a quick bash at it.. the first time you fire up the online mode it asks you to select which region your in, so you can choose EU :)

i have always been a fan of the wipeout series since they first came out, but unfortunately i have only played the first on PS, then got it for the PSP, just got it for the PS3 and enjoy it even more.

find it harder due to soly using the motion of the controller and not using the joysticks or directional pads. but more fun because of it.

This game has sixaxis controls? Didn't know that, but i don't think i could play it that way.

Cool :) there definitely no chance it will be released on Blu-Ray too would it?? I'd like to get Wipeout HD but I don't have a credit card and you can't get prepaid PSN cards in Australia. I suspect I might be out of luck here?

I could swear I read somewhere a couple of months ago or so that it would also be released at retail in a Blu-Ray package. I might be thinking about Socom or another game though, not sure since I don't keep up with Playstaion news much anymore.

You might of, I just found out Wipeout HD has a Provisional release date of 30/9/2008 in Australia (on Blu-Ray)...I might be in luck! (fingers crossed!)

i actually prefer to use the motion sensors, gives a better feel.

although i do end up slamming into the walls a lot more, lol ( i use motion for both Pitch/direction )

You don't have to use the motion sensor's if you prefer using the sticks/dpad

w00t! Just played my first online tourny, and won it.

Game is amazingly good fun, and the online side of it is very smooth. No lost connections, no waiting for ages trying to find a game.

Love it.

Im having a blast with it, i would have paid a lot more for this one!!!

Anyone knows where can i check the Online rankings???, and i mean a website i can go to..., according to the game is should be at the top of several of the tracks, im pretty sure that thing is wrong tho....

Well, from the videos I've seen and all the word of mouth on it, if I had a PS3, I'd totally be buying this game that's for sure. I loved the original Wipeout (hell, who didn't!) and while I haven't had a Sony system since the original PS1, it wasn't because I didn't like Sony or anything. (I'm a PC gamer, sorry heh) And I'd totally be up for getting a PS3, if I had the money. For now my 360 will have to do while I drool over Wipeout HD and a few other Sony titles.

Wow.. i was'nt expecting it to be this good.. This game is brilliant! And at ?11.99 it's a bloody steal, PSN game of the year!:rofl::

out of interest.. whats the highest zone speed/number you guys have managed to get up to? 35 is my highest so far. Zone mode is insane, and my eyes want to have sex with it:laugh::

Wow 35 is pretty good, congrats, after months of playing the PSP version i managed to get to 42 on Wipeout HD, i was on Zen, i think i broke the sound barrier...

Now thats nothing, have you seen the trophies??, For one of them you have to get to Zone 72 or 75 i think, thats downright insane, maybe i will make it some day!!!

:huh: I played all the Wipeout games but the most recent best stats I can remember is from the PSP games, I got upto zone 38. Getting to zone 75 is near impossible!!! Still, I havn't actually played the game on the PS3 yet, downloaded and installed ready. Will give it a spin tomorrow. Hopefully should still be good with it.

Best thing I love about Wipeout is how your tactics have to change with the speed group you're playing at. For example, at the slow speeds, you really don't need to use the air-brake's or sideshifts at all, but in the fastest groups you have to mainly ONLY use air-brakes and sideshifts. Thats why you have to really learn the tracks slowly first so they become like second-nature by the time you reach lightning speeds!

Man... now I can't wait to play! LOL

Well make sure you hop online and we can play PSN: cygnuz

Been playing it, I'm usually really crap, but maybe my slightly more experience from the old PS2 game I played a few months back has helped.

At first I did with the pilot assist on, which was helpful, enjoying it far more than I thought I would.

I did try it out today without the Pilot Assist, and once you figure out the basics of racing and turning, it can be really helpful, I wasn't generally that good on-line too, but once I had turned it off, I won a tournament and quite a few on-line games.

I didn't think they were serious when I started playing with pilot assist than it can actually hamper your racing, but it does more than I thought once I got into it.

Loving it so far. :D

hehe, thanks.. I was permanently stuck to the wall by 35 tho :blink:

75!? wow.. how the hell are you meant to control it when it gets that fast? That must be what the long seizure warning at the front of the game is for :laugh:

I got to about 35 myself I think, after that I couldn't see how your suppose to stay away from the walls.

There is also a trophy for making it to like level 50 and only using the air brakes, using what little skill I have left I get to 30+ish, and they want 50 with only air brakes?

In the old days of wires when I got annoyed at a game and accidentally threw the controller it wouldn't fly that far, but thanks to wireless I can get it down the hall and down some stairs with a little aim, lol.

I'd of bought this if it wasn't for the technical issues with credit cards/wallet on PSN (I can't add money, nor can I add a new card).

I phoned Sony technical support today and some girl confirmed there were some issues faced by some people on PSN, and they should be fixed by tomorrow day-time.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.

    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
