Zico Liu, programmer (and Trophy) on WipEout HD, recently dropped by the European PlayStation Blog to confirm a price and date for the game's latest expansion: Fury. Psychedelic speedsters in Europe can get their greasy mitts on this new content come July 23 for £7.99 (€9.99). US gamers won't miss out, as Fury will also be available on the US store for $9.99 that day. For those of you not in the brightly-colored loop, Fury adds a whole lot of new content, including game types, tracks and ships, to Sony's futuristic racer.
This pretty much doubles the original content; the price is very reasonable. Especially considering that other games will charge you $3 for just one extra vehicle or a couple of skins.
I might get it for the $15, is it really good? I played the demo a while back and was disappointed it seemed slow and boring compared to the videos (or a better game like Mario Kart for example)
phinnvr6, the game gets waaay better and much more challenging. they start you off at a very slow speed for newcomers and so its not overwhelming for people who have never played wipeout before. As soon as you get past a couple events you start getting the faster speed classes and the game gets really fun. thats where the intense fast gameplay videos come in. You should def get it, best money i ever spent.
Oh hellz yeah it's good. I didn't play the demo, because I bought it, but I imagine that it only contained the slower speed classes. Trust me, especially in Zone mode, it gets stupid fast. I am SOOOOOO excited for Fury!!!
Buy a power supply off ebay! Same thing happened to me (didnt turn on) a few months ago and replacing the power supply for $50 fixed it. I was out of warranty so that was a way better option than the $150 Sony wanted. But even if you're still in warranty, it may be worth it, as the turn around time will only be a few days instead of 2-3 weeks.
Holy fuckballs, I can't wait for this. Wipeout HD is one of my favorite games from the last couple of years. I've easily put 60+ hours into it, which for me, is very impressive. Very few games get more than 5-10 hours out of me these days.
