WipEout HD hits PSN SEpt. 25, still fEaturEs thE capital E

But JoystiQ is AwEsomE!

I bet if the big N makes a new F-Zero, it will be nerfed like crazy for the casual crowd. Build your own ship, and pilot it with your Mii type crap.

I can't imagine a new F-Zero Wii being better than GX.

But I'm excited for this game, too. I never really played the earlier games in the series.

@Rubix42

What a Sony fanboy. Obviously you've never played F-Zero GX.

@Patrick

Have you played the Wii?

I'm honestly not that excited about seeing F-Zero on Wii. Motion controls aren't precise enough, and I'm not sure how they can improve on F-Zero GX anyway, given the Wii's lack of processing power. Is online versus play enough of a reason to buy essentially the same game again?

That's not a knock against the Wii - it's a statement about just how good F-Zero GX was (and still is!) for hardcore racing fans.

Thank goodness for backwards compatability.
*thumbs nose at PS3*

Yeah, if they do make F-Zero for Wii, it better have graphics better than GX (best-looking game last gen IMO) and have option to use no motion controls. AND SMOOTH ONLINE PLAY.

But whatever, if they ruin it, I can always pretend like GX is a brand new game :(

No, there is no blu-ray planned at all.

And its only 1.1gigs in size, there are many demo's smaller than that.

Eurogamer rated this 9/10. Can't wait.

Yes, it has 8-player online.

There's other modes, and online play. Considering the game's production values, I think the price is fine- I know plenty of people that were willing to pay more.

No. Mostr racing games have between 10 and 16 tracks and you pay three times the amount of dollars for those.

Fair enough.

You're probably right about the number of tracks included - although it sounds low, 8 tracks is on par with many other racing games. Mario Kart Wii spoiled me with 32... but that is an exception instead of the rule.

Besides, having a few dynamic and well-designed tracks is way more important than simply throwing in a huge number of uninspired (*coughMarioKartWiicough*) tracks anyway.

I'd still rather pay $15, but I'm cheap.

Didnt Motorstorm ship with only 8 tracks? :-) I loved Motorstorm and own it, just saying...

For $20 this is a steal and a day 1 purchase

It's the quality of the content, not the quantity that makes the difference. Examples?

MvC vs. MvC2. MvC had a smaller roster, certainly. One could argue too small, but then one would be a retard. Because even though it lacked the 56 character roster of MvC2, overall it was a much better and far more balanced game.

Ridge Racer PSP vs. Burnout PSP. Ridge racer had fewer tracks but was built from the ground up for the hardware. Every level was tuned for that Ridge Racer. Burnout's first trip out on PSP attempted what Ridge Racer did. They TRIED to throw in a ton of classic level remakes at the game and hope everything turned out okay. But it didn't. Several of the levels were designed specifically for the way cars handled on Burnout 1&2 and Burnout 3 was a big change from that, making several of the tracks just annoyingly difficult.

Moral? I'd gladly take an 8 track game where all the levels are balanced like wipeout for $20 than a $50 game with 32 tracks on Mario Kart Wii where I have MAYBE one favorite track per circuit and the rest I hate.

No it wasn't.

No, Wip3out was the 3rd WipEout.
