My penis is still intact.
I can't help but be disappointed whenever I see any of these "normal" tracks after screens like this:

Looks like something the DS could do no prob. Similar to F-Zero X on N64.

I am glad I saved the money for both a DS and PSP so I wont have to fight with random people on the internet about which is best.
Cant wait to play this!!!

It definately looks quite better in movement (IGN videos).

They mentioned that the 4 remake tracks in the game will have a completely new visual look, so I think that might be for the Tron tracks. Gamespot mentioned that zone mode was on a bright and mostly white track.
What did the original WipeOut and WipeOut XL run at? 60 fps? I usually don't care about fps in games, but when it comes to the WipeOut (and most racing games), I would expect the sense of speed to be enhanced if it were to run at 60 fps.
Of course, I could also just be talking out of my ass. :lol

Oh, you can't. I've watched many videos about Wipeout Pure because I'm actually interested in this one since it goes back to what made Wipeout so great in the first place.
My statement was just me being silly because the jaggies are the first thing someone might pick apart on screen captures like these.
Amir0x said:
Yeah, its just that when groaners or complainers see the IGN PSP shots blown up the first thing they mention is jaggies. If IGN would format all screens to the size of the actual PSP screen you would not notice the jaggies. The same thing happens when IGN blows up pictures of GBA and DS games. All portable games media look terrible if blown up too big.
Wipeout (PSOne)
Wipeout (Saturn - Tantalus-developed with two exclusive songs and one CoLD SToRAGE track left out of the PSOne version. May have also had an exclusive track.)
Wipeout XL (PSOne)
Wipeout 2097 (PC/Mac - European name of WOXL)
Wipeout 64 (N64 - Based on WOXL with all new tracks IIRC, lesser music)
Wipeout 3 (PSOne)
Wipeout Fusion (PS2)
Looks good so far. Hopefully it's not rushed for the US launch. And if you think the PSP version looks jagtastic, the DS version would look far worse considering the lack of filtering and the lower resolution).

Here is a link of all the WipeOuts on gamerankings.com : http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/itemsearch.asp

Wipeout (PSOne) No GameRankings score listing
Wipeout (Saturn) 78.1%
Wipeout XL (PSOne) 94.0%
Wipeout 3 (PSOne) 86.5%
Wipeout 2097 (PC/Mac) No GameRankings score listing
Wipeout 64 (N64) 87.1%
Wipeout Fusion (PS2) 84.3%
Despite a few misteps here and there WipeOut has remained a pretty solid franchise through the years.
Seriously, this is a joke, right? F-Zero has no textures. And like ten polygons per vehicle. And no environments. As for jaggies, remember that this is a 4" screen here--unlike your typical screenshots, what you see isn't going to be stretched 27/32/60 inches when you're playing it.Tenacious-V said:
Anyway, the design in some of the screens looks pretty solid, but hideous in others.
Great visual design:
Hideous visual design:
Yes they are.Mejilan said:
AFAIK, they're largely identical. i only toyed with the PC and Mac versions, but i used to own the Saturn import, which had analog control via the NiGHTS pad, as well as a soundtrack done completely by CoLD SToRAGE. It was also faster than the PSOne version, though the graphics and sound were noticeably lesser. i need to rebuy it because the NiGHTS pad felt a lot better than the PSOne's analog. Heck, even the N64 pad's analog worked better for me.Mejilan said:
This portion reminds me of the first track in Wipeout, only completely suspended. It's also reminiscent of that 3D0 racer i can't recall at the moment. i actually like this shot, despite the lack of detail. Looks like a good spot for blind jumps.

So the soundtrack was different? Interesting...
This is true. Aside from being racing games with a futuristic setting, F-Zero and Wipeout have zero in common. F-Zero is more twitch, Wipeout is finesse. Wipeout's more technical racing. And Wipeout's about amazing visual design.DCharlie said:
Or at least it was, until Psygnosis Leeds and DR got the boot. This is the direction Wipeout should be heading again.

Nope, not joking. I don't see the graphical jump from the F-Zero X to this. Take F-Zero X, output it to a screen the size of DS's and you'll get similar results to this. That and F-Zero X ran at 60fps, this at 30? You should be able to get better than this at 30fps on the PSP.
No way am I bashing the game, just it's not that impressive for PSP. If this was a DS game it would be a good representation of it's capabilities. But from these and the vids, the DS could do that no prob.
Wipeout (PSOne) had Transvaal by CoLD SToRAGE. Wipeout (Saturn) didn't, but had two tracks by artists Poison and Cloud Nine which the PSOne version didn't.FortNinety said:
Wipeout XL had only three or four CoLD SToRAGE tracks, and more licensed music. Wipeout 2097 (Japanese Saturn) had a full CoLD SToRAGE soundtrack. From memory, Messij Received, Messij XTND, Canada, Surgeon, Plasticity, Kinkong, and Tenation. Even though i liked some of the licensed track in XL better, i liked the 2097 soundtrack overall. It had a more cohesive sound coming from one artist.

MarkRyan said:With all due respect...
Point being? That game was outputted to a full size TV screen @ 60FPS. Take that same tech (N64) and output to a screen like DS and guarantee it'll look similar. That and with the extra headroom of the screen output you could beef it up. Like I said, it's not straight up clones, I said "similar". PSP Wipeout isn't spectacular, that's all I'm saying. DS could do it.

Amir0x said:Even better, look at Wipeout 64:
Watch the video posted in this thread. DS couldn't do this even if God himself was the programmer.
I've seen it. I dunno, just doesn't look like much to me. Surely not the "God himself" couldn't do it kinda difference you guys are saying. No way am I implying that DS is any match for PSP, I'm just saying if you guys think this blows away DS capabilities you gotta be kidding me. Take F-Zero X, change it to 30FPS output it to DS and beef it up with the excess headroom. You'll be sore to find a drastic difference.
I'm not too impressed with Wipeout Pure. Is it still early? It looks decent enough, but I don't think it's pushing the PSP too hard. 1st gen software, it's all good.
Well, I've got a slew of older Wipeout games to keep me occupied until this hits! They's on they way!

I'm honestly in awe of this logic then. I can't even begin to think what must be required to see the world through eyes like these, but I won't mock you no longer.
I'm sure if you input F-Zero X to the DS at 30fps we'd ALL have a hard time finding a drastic difference between it and this! :lol
i agree that the DS could do a "comparable" version of Wipeout Pure, but the smaller screen and lower resolution would make me pass over it for the PSP version. i was thinking about this while playing Ridge Racer DS. The 3D the DS has displayed so far looks like upgraded GBA 3D. It's not bad, but the low resolution (only slightly higher than the GBA itself), became more apparent in the later stages of RRDS.

I dunno why you resort to sarcasm. I was merely having a conversation. Maybe not all of us are graphics whores. I can't see a graphical leap from F-Zero X to this, from say N64 to DC (such as Mario 64 to say Soul Caliber). The difference to me isn't drastic and if DS had it's F-Zero X brought to the same framerate as wipeout, you'd be able to do so much more.
"I'm sure if you input F-Zero X to the DS at 30fps we'd ALL have a hard time finding a drastic difference between it and this! :lol"
Are you comparing my analogy of F-Zero X @ 60 on N64 vs F-Zero X @30 on DS? or F-Zero X @30 on DS vs Wipeout PSP?
