A GLORIOUS 1080p, 8 player Online Game for Twenty Bucks? Yes, Please!!
Y0j1mb0 | 4:41 PM on 09.12.2008 35 comments




At the end of this month, just prior to the avalanche of great games coming in October, this beast of a game is being thrust your way courtesy of Liverpool Studios. All I have to say is God bless their little hearts as this game looks to continue Sony's recent trend of great downloadable games through their PSN. From Pixeljunk's Eden, Sony's own The Last Guy, the episodic Siren and now WipEout HD, it's not a stretch to say PSN has found its stride, and it's about time.

In less than three weeks time, you will be able to download an 8 player online game for a mere twenty bucks. Twenty bucks for a game that has 8 tracks, 16 if you count the reverse variants of each, Trophy support, specifically 39 of them, a screen capture/photo mode, the ability to change your in game music, voice chat and did I mention that it's 1080p running at a blistering 60 fps ?? For twenty bucks?? Are you kidding me??

[img]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff129/y0j1mb0-2008/wohd_20080910_182545.jpg?t=1221254604 [/img]

The best part about it is that this isn't even a true sequel to the last WipEout, just a highly polished version of the PSP's Pure & Pulse versions. The tracks themselves are six from WipEout Pure and two from WipEout Pulse. The true sequel, they are working on as we speak. I can't even imagine how that game will look considering this re imagining and its graphics will make your eyeballs have an orgasm. Here's just a trailer, a taste of the game through You Tube, so imagine this in HD. *shudders*




There are far too many games coming out at this time. I'm seriously going to be broke or close to it with Christmas around the corner. But if any game needs to be added to your collection aside from Little Big Planet it's this game.




I'm hoping I'm not the only WipEout fanatic as I'm dying to be racing at the speed of light, all the while quake bombing fools left and right. I fucking LOVE WipEout! Heads up: This will be making the rotation in our PS3 Friday Night Fights. Count on it.

I can't wait to roll with this game. And for this price... neither should you.

Oh yes indeed, there will be racing and it won't stop until the epilepsy kicks in. It won't stop then either, as the SixAxis controls will translate your tortured seizing into victory on the track.

I really look forward this and I don't think its a bad price at all. Though there are those that bitch about games like Castle Crashers and Braid being 15 bucks and it just makes be scratch my head. I think the PS3 does have an advantage in this regard since they have had higher priced games(rightfully priced high)since the beginning and have not built those expectations of low prices.

On a side note why a bronze trophy for being amazing I would thing that warrants at least a gold if not a Platinum.

Wipeout is awesome, but it's not as awesome as your blog banner. Man... I need a drink now.

SIXAXIS controls are optional.As for seizures, if you're prone to them, video games shouldn't be your bag... lol.

I'm still bitter that they wussified the Zone mode to satisfy the health officials. I frankly would have liked the option to play a game that could do harm to some of its players by sheer force of awesome.

It looks awesome enough. Could they possibly make these games for mobile phones? I mean, the <a href="http://www.motorola.com/E8">Motorokr,</a> has awesome graphics, a full HTML browser, Java capabilities, and a whole lot of other stuff. I just think that would be cool.

Considering I purchased the original Wipeout back on the PS1 the day it came out, you can pretty much guarantee that I will be purchasing this game.

You can also pretty much guarantee that I will be kicking your ass Yojimbo all over this gravity defying game. Maybe you shouldn't buy it Yojimbo. I really don't want to make you look like the old slow man you really are.

I've never played Wipeout, and I've owned every PlayStation.

I feel shamed.

I really hope this doesn't suffer from tiny text syndrome, like every other Ps3 title.

and the only time i have ever played a wipeout game is on a PS1 demo disc, i think it was for the first one, and i loved it.

LMAO @ SilverDragon!!

We shall see whose ass will be getting kicked in zero gravity soon enough. Somehow I doubt what you predict will happen, not even with the help of that fruity Eragon
will you get that done, me thinks.

This is a definite must buy for me. Wipeout Pure was amazingly addictive, and I've been missing it ever since my PSP stopped functioning.

Is it bad that I have never played this game......

Looks very nice though!

I've never been a big fan of Wipeout.

But I just have to compliment your banners, as they get increasingly awesome.

Too bad I've always sucked at Wipeout, because it's a sweet game and this version looks fantastic.

This game is about 50% of the reason i bought a PS3. It was supposed to be out in June; I'm glad it's finally finished.

It kinda sucks that they removed the reactive floor tiles that would change colors w/ the music; because it kept failing epilepsy tests. But at least its coming out now.

& yea $20 is a steal if you like racing games. Wipeout is a classic

This game looks to be pretty awesome, even though I am not a giant racing game fan I might pick this up. Also am I the only one who would like this on a disc?

39 trophies for $20 sounds like a really good deal.

But since it's wipEout I would happily get it for $60 and no trophies.

I am super psyched. I actually have trouble playing the high-speed pulse and pure on PSP because I can't make out everything on the screen. More pixels (uh... a lot more) should fix that.

I, like many others will be broke this christmas - especially after purchasing LBP and a new TV (my god this game would be perfect to test it out), but by that time I'll be beyond caring so I'll get it anyway
