Is there a track listing up for the music yet ?, I remember from the original trailer they cited some commercial artists like kraftwerk, Booka Shade, Standton Warriors etc.

I haven't seen an official listing but check out http://www.wipeouthd.com/en_US/index.html in the top right corner it lists some music tracks that you can cycle through.
I just switched from my carbon powered Samsung HD Ready display to a human energy driven, 4D, 120fps Sony 40W4000 1080p display. After calibrating it a bit, I fired up WipEout HD and ZOMFG!!! I fainted. This is not just a game. This is a 1080p display killer app. Any sign of aliasing I could spot before disappeared. Not that it is completely absent, but it's so minor only the most extremist IQ whores would notice. Much, MUCH better than GT5P (which still shows plenty of aliasing on my new display compared to WipEout HD - not to mention the terrible tearing/frame drops). At 1080p, WipEout HD is still silky smooth. In 2 hrs of wowing playtime, I've noticed some *VERY* minor and *VERY* quick tearing occurring in ONE spot on TWO tracks, but nothing to even bother notifying. It's not like it cuts the screen in two for half a sec. Looks more like some IQ disturbance that lasts a couple of milliseconds. It's so irrelevant I can't even spot which part of the screen it actually cuts when it happens. And no, it does NOT occur during explosions or other crazy situations. Those remain unaffected. It's just in those spots I mentioned there. I don't even know why I'm reporting about it to be honest (lol).
Anyways, this game turned me into a 1080p believer. It gave me that kind of feeling I used to have when looking at new arcade releases back in the days of Daytona USA. You know, that kind of "ZOMG!!! IT'S VIRTUAL REALITY!!" feeling. I'm floored. The amount of detail you can spot at 1080p is also incredible. I didn't realize before now how much I was missing at 720p (which still looks awesome mind you).
So, in the end, I'd say from all the 1080p games I've tested (SSDHD, FLOW, GT5P, Eden etc), WipEout really stands out as the best you can get this gen at this time in terms of image quality and smoothness. Nothing touches it. NOTHING. Here is my mouth wide open Studio Liverpool. Do whatever you please with it! You deserve it.

Hot diggity motherfucking daaaaaammmmmmmmmmn! Those screenshots look awesome! This Thursday, motherfuckers, we're going to crash PSN by buying this en-masse.
Same. But a 40-50" 1080p set is on my Christmas-gift-to-myself list.

Its funny that my excitement for this game was around a 6/7 in the months I have been seeing it.
But post TTP / Eurogamer / IGN impressions It has skyrocketed for me its become a killer
app for me.

So no one knows who this new green team is? Is it like a new Triakis design or some such shit?

Just when I think the game can't look any better, it does.

That's kind of a null point seing as it runs at 1080p with AA.Crayon said:

Yeah but every game can do that in screenshots. You know what I'm saying? I'm confidant that wipeout will look head and shoulders better than most other games but I think it's bad that they really can't show off the image quality in screenshots, because bullshots have become the standard. And since there is no way to advertise image quality, we don't get image quality.
Halo 2:
And that's why halo 3 looks like shit. If they could somehow show off image quality in still shots, they would have a reason to strive for it... and we would get it.

Would I be considered trolling if I said I honestly thought that was a shot from Halo 3?

OH SHIT! This shot blew me away for its simplicity and awesome and the fact that as soon that photo was taken, the vehicle was never seen again by the viewer taken the picture (considering the fact that if there really was a spectator there who took the picture)...

That's exactly what I'm talking about.
I guess I'm frustrated seeing all these people see Wipeout in action and being like "WOW IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD!!"
No fucking shit it looks good. That's what happens when you spend system resources on getting an accurate image on the screen instead of faking it knowing that the shits all going to look the same in ads.
Pisses me off becasue this is what most games would look like if it wasn't for the bullshot practice.

Dude, those are player released screenshots using the photo mode, not official "bullshots". And what I meant was, if the game it self is already running at 1080p WITH AA then high res screenshots won't improve much.Crayon said:

Because what makes this game look good is not data-intensive stuff. It's heavy processing of relativley simple data. The Textures are small and repeating, nothing really articulates or has and unique animations... it's simple stuff. What makes it looks good is the way the assets are rendered not the assets themselves.

Such a cool shot, love the contrast.
This really seems like it was a labor of love for Liverpool, all the little details and polish they've poured into it. Granted they've had plenty of time. :lol
