First glimpses - Image 1


Just a couple of days after Sony Computer Entertainment Liverpool has confirmed the resurrection of the classic racing game WipEout for the PSP and the PS3, out comes these screenshots. We're not complaining at all, and it's all quite the opposite as we join millions of nostalgic gamers in celebrating the return of this well-loved title.

The developers of this game have not yet announced a release date for this title but at least these screenshots, the very first batch for this new title, reaffirm the sequel's existence, and could very well be a sign of even more good things to come.

And that makes three - Image 1And that makes three - Image 2

It sort of looks the same as the 1st. one.

French isn't really popular at school, is it? :)

That's because these screenshots come from WipEout Pure... Quote from the source news: "On attend maintenant les premières images qui ne devraient plus tarder à débouler sur la toile." It basically means "we're now waiting for the first images that will probably make their way to the web soon" And the caption under the screenshots says: "WipEout Pure, already available on the PSP" You should really find a French-speaking guy to add to the staff ;)

Bar?

Anyone notice the additional meter under the speedometer? Assuming it's a boost.

its

its armor not boost. there is no boost in the game, you have to cross a special platform to get a speed boost or use an item.

* European PS3 Launch

Here’s one funny thing. If you live in Europe and want to buy a PS3 console, you must pay $1,500 US because PS3 consoles are only sold as bundles (PS3 + PSP + some games). Sony can do this kind of stupid thing to game addicts who have worthless lives (or should I say those lifeless game addicts whose lives are worth $7 per hour). Maybe I can just say short; those gaming addicts who occupy the lowest ranks in any society. I’ll predict what the PlayStation 4’s launch will look like. - PS4 consoles will be released in 2015. - Since the PS4 is too advanced, Sony could only make only 100 PS4 consoles for the worldwide launch. - 5 days after the console’s launch, people have seen all kinds of news on TV. People have done things like prostituting, killing, driving and shooting and robbery to get hands on PS4s. - Sony removed all kinds of unnecessary and crappy things on the controller. The new PS4‘s controller won’t have the rumble feature like the gay competitor’s Xbox 450’s controller. In fact, Sony went further and actually removed all those lame-ass buttons and D-pads; moreover, those overrated analog sticks were gone, too. You don’t even have to input your commands by pressing buttons like ancient monkeys. The new PS4 consoles will play the games by itself; thus, rendering gamers obsoletes; playing PS4 games is just like watching a movie. - In 2015, the screen resolutions like 1080p are so old school; therefore, PS4 only support 1 million progressive scan (1,000,000p). To make games in such high ground-breaking resolution, developers need many years and a lot of budget; therefore, there will be no PS4 games available until 2020. - However, You will be able to play all those 10 year old PS3 games you owned before. Moreover you can also download 20 year old PS2 games and 30 year old PS1 games via PlayStation Network from day one. - Since our PS4s only output 1,000,000p, you must own an HDTV (Hugh Diamond TV), otherwise your PS4s will be unusable. Since these new HDTVs are too advanced for the time being, the first HDTVs will be commercially available in 2025; that’s 10 years after the launch of PS4. - Those consumers who purchased our PS4s don’t have to worry about anything since our PS4 consoles are made to last for the next 100 years.

these pics aren't very exciting

i would have thought that these are psp pics (and they do look a great deal like pure) as there's practically zero detail in the textures, and psygnosis (or at least that's who they used to be) are good at making systems look good. still, i'm eager to see some sort of footage of a ps3 wipeout. wonder what it will be called, wipeout 5?

You should check you sight mate, 'cause they are from Wipeout Pure.

You sure did waste some time writting that bulls.hit, ey!
by - 2007-02-04 17:54:35
my bad, but...

actually i hadn't took the time to check because the screenshots really looked like pure (which i own as well) the hud is different, but i wouldn't say that they're not from pure anyway, because the design is exactly the same, and i think it'd be possible to find the locations where these screenshots were taken. maybe screenshots from a beta version that were first released before pure came out. and i'm pretty sure about what the news says as i'm french, and they say absolutely nothing about screenshots from a new wipeout, they only say that there will be a new wipeout on both psp and ps3. and they assume the screenshots they display are from pure.

boost

actually in Wo3 there was a boost meter as it drained your sheilds when you used it. ;-)
by - 2007-02-04 18:09:43
a

itll probably be like... 2009 nine when its realeased. or 2010. because it doesnt take THAT long for a console.
by q_dmc12 - 2007-02-04 18:19:50
my guess

WipEout: 2wisted :-P
by - 2007-02-04 19:18:00
Not the next Wipeout...

Indeed, those are screenshots from Wipeout Pure, however they are some of the early BETA screenshots released maybe two years ago. That's why the HUD is different. The textures are practically non-existant because it's one of the simulation stages from Pure.

screenshots' source

you can check at this address that these screenshots were added on gamespot in May 2005: http://www.gamespot.com/psp/driving/wipeout/screenindex.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs Thanks for the link Lion ;) Now i'd like to see if qj staff read these comments and update the news :p

..

Do you post this ***** in every article you f*cking idiot? Btw, a true game addict can't possibly fulfill his gaming needs with under $7 an hour wage. Not in the UK, because $7 + £3.55 and that's below the national minimum wage which is £5.05. Dumbass!
by - 2007-02-05 05:07:47
IMHO...

All of the wipeout games are so much the same from game to game that I don't know why anyone would bother to buy more than one game from the series.
by q_dmc12 - 2007-02-05 05:09:09
T_T

well that's a downer - hopefully studio liverpools announcement is real....
by q_dmc12 - 2007-02-05 05:51:29
new stuff

New tracks, new music, new ships, new super weapons, new downloadable content*....
by - 2007-02-05 09:37:47
Not to mention...

...that every game has a different handling which makes every game unique. Not every sequel has that, most copy the handling of the old game almost exactly.
