Missing@E3: WipEout HD

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jul 17th 2008 at 7:30PM }

We noticed a lot of you asking about WipEout HD's whereabouts, so we corned SCEE's Charlotte Panther in the Sony room and demanded an explanation. Apparently, WipEout is still in development to add "extra features." Satisfied?

oh look...its wipeout

Lord Maim @ Jul 17th 2008 7:39PM

WANT!

Tiptup300 @ Jul 17th 2008 9:17PM

I wish the PS3 Natively outputted HD content, if it doesn't come with the HD cables it doesn't count. Not including a mic is one thing, but not including its display adapters!? That's just stupid.

el serpiente @ Jul 17th 2008 9:23PM

What does that have to do with wipeout, turtle-boy?

On topic, yes WANT! indeed. It was very discouraging to see no sign of wipeout at E3. Cornering her isn't enough. Next time grab Charlotte and shake her vigorously until she spills a release date.

MuToiD_MaN @ Jul 17th 2008 11:48PM

Methinks it's on-topic because the game is called "Wipeout HD"

Tiptup300 @ Jul 18th 2008 4:15AM

He wan'ts Wipeout HD [as do I] because it's wipeout PSP but in full high definition. I bring up this mention of High-defness because this games entire premise is the fact that it's been uped for high definition.

Tiptup300: That's like saying Live-only games shouldn't be released, because you need to pay for Live.

Tiptup300 @ Jul 18th 2008 1:24PM

I'm not seeing the similarities there. I'm not saying this game shouldn't be released, I'm saying Sony should put HD cables in the ps3 bigger bundle.

Vcize @ Jul 18th 2008 2:12PM

Except that there are no "Live only" games.

eugene @ Jul 17th 2008 7:40PM

ps3fanboy is reporting it's delayed due to some difficult to solve technical issue.

Which is it? more features or hard to squash bug?

j.howlett @ Jul 17th 2008 7:48PM

a hard to squash bug in the new features. a hard feature in the squash bug. a feature bug in the squash.

Wipeout is an incredible game, i cannot wait for this to get done! Going to be hella awesome. Anyone know if you can play it online?

Vcize @ Jul 18th 2008 2:12PM

You damn well better be able to play it online.

This isn't the Wii we're talking about here.

Residentevil72501 @ Jul 17th 2008 7:48PM

And you know what I just remembered? Well it was Wipeout 64 that got me liking techno music go figure.

tehvoid @ Jul 17th 2008 7:52PM

WipEout on a Nintendo console! Wanna sell some billions WE games? Make a Wii release!

MuToiD_MaN @ Jul 17th 2008 8:18PM

Wipeout series got me into techno as well. Specifically XL/2049.

HenryJonesJr @ Jul 17th 2008 7:51PM

You corned him? Damn, you guys are rough.

Extra Cheese @ Jul 17th 2008 8:09PM

And they still only gave up the vaguest of information. Tough as nails, those guys.

KarlW @ Jul 17th 2008 9:12PM

It's a her, and her name is Charlotte.

You both failed. Maybe all this E3 coverage made you actually forget girls exist. Or maybe you never knew.

Arturo @ Jul 17th 2008 7:54PM

:(

my disappointment knows no bounds right now

rom @ Jul 17th 2008 7:56PM

Speaking of missing games...any word on the new Splinter Cell or Alan Wake?

Joe @ Jul 17th 2008 7:57PM

Well I hope after it comes out Psygnosis can make a new IP or new versions of there old cassic games. I my self would love a new Agony, Colony Wars, Alundra and more more of there games they made for the Amiga platform. I think many of those games would be great fun on PSN. Plus new versions would be awesome too.

Noshino @ Jul 17th 2008 7:58PM

HOW MANY MORE FEATURES DOES IT NEED?!?!

Hyams @ Jul 17th 2008 8:37PM

Needs moar giant enemy crabs!

deaftly @ Jul 18th 2008 4:28PM

I'm crossing my fingers for lobsters this time

Billy @ Jul 17th 2008 8:27PM

That's disappointing, I'm really looking forward to this one. But if they need more time to make it solid, then so be it. Better to wait for awesomeness than have a shitty release full of bugs.

MuToiD_MaN @ Jul 17th 2008 11:50PM

Sigh ... you're right. Dammit, I hate it when people defuse my fanboy attitude with perfectly rational statements.

Hyams @ Jul 17th 2008 8:38PM

I really want this. I never got into Wipeout (although I seem to remember having a couple of races on the PS1 version), but I really want too.

Gief me soon, yes?

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 17th 2008 9:37PM

So just on PSN or both retail and PSN? Sure is taking long for a PSN game. CANT WAIT!

sonn @ Jul 17th 2008 9:37PM

Ga!! this was the only game i wanted at E3... damn your silence sony! stop wasting time on qore!!!!

Shogan @ Jul 17th 2008 10:03PM

Wipeout (A good one) plus Backwards compatibility = instant sell for me. I'm waiting, Sony.

Jacksons @ Jul 17th 2008 10:58PM

I've got Pulse holding me over, but damn do I ever want this!

MuToiD_MaN @ Jul 17th 2008 11:52PM

Agreed. Pulse looks nice, but 1080p >>> 240p.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Jul 18th 2008 12:25AM

I'm gonna assume it's something to do with the online play, since they've shown it near-complete and playable so many times.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Jul 18th 2008 12:25AM

Der, forgot to add: Fine by me. Lagless/flawless online play is crucial to this game.

GoonieGooGoo @ Jul 18th 2008 1:36AM

This is taking toooo long to release.

Methinks there are no issues whatsoever with the game and they could have released it in march....its the fact that there are only a handful of AAA Titles for PS3 this xmas........this being one of them.... that they are going to push it into 4th quarter

daddycool @ Jul 18th 2008 11:46AM

This, Castle Creashers, SSFTHD, other stuff...

Games not even on disc seem to take the longest to come out. I would have rather not even have heard about it yet than to be waiting for so long.

trancepants55 @ Jul 19th 2008 6:22AM

satisfied!!!!! jesus,7 months after original release date and a further knockback,id say a bug fest was in order.it must be over 4 months since a hands on play...its not like they have any dvd's to produce,manuals to print or get it in the shops...so satisfied i ain't .....hows about a realistic release date for once....!!!
