I guess it could still be shown this week but it's crazy how much this game is getting delayed. I honestly don't think it's even going to come out this summer anymore.

didn't even show up in sony's psn reel. surely this game is too straightforward to be vaporware

Seriously!

I thought this was just going to be a quick port in HD?

It was probably delayed due to the online aspect of it. There was a preview at Play.tm last week and they weren't even allowed to touch the online part of it. So that seems to be the issue holding it back right now.

It doesn't look like we'll get it this month if Elefunk is out this week, Siren is out next week and Pixeljunk Eden is out the week after.

We're probably looking at August (in time for Leipzig at the end of the month?) or September now...

Sony is just one big cock tease this generation. Everything I bought a PS3 for just seems to get further away. Still, the waiting will be worth it, I'm sure.

The other question is when will we see Bionic Commando Rearmed. It was announced for this month and they should know by now when it will be released....

Well Jim hinted at it....

Who is this Jim and why should I trust him?

Actually, I don't care. Wipeout HD being delayed for trophies sounds so absurd to me that I REFUSE to believe it's true.

Arrrrgh I know it's annoying there's not only a delay but no information about it! In the meantime there's always the Wipeout ripoff - Fatal Inertia.

Wipeout HD is done apparently, has been for a while, but there's something going on with it.It's coming, but it's weird, the local Sony distributor has zero info on it, besides that it's coming this summer. Of course, the no show at E3 doesn't help.

Bionic Commando Rearmed review code just dropped to my desk so, that' should be out soon.

Interesting. But annoying. I can't begin to imagine the dev process. Do they have things like a tech spec at start of project?

I suppose you don't know when exactly it's coming?

Off topics: Hmm...most of the Heavenly Sword team moved into new digs in the UK working on Ninja Theory's next game and I think most of the Sony Cambridge staff who worked on HS is helping out on Killzone 2, though not sure.

All I want to do is give Sony my moneyz in exchange for this game.... the delays this Gen are becoming laughable >_<

I'm hoping they're crunching to release it in the next few weeks, hence the no-show. Someone should follow up with a Sony rep on it though.

Jim is wrong then. The Heavenly Sword team (NT) is working on a new IP as previously mentioned. The Sony staff that helped out on HS (mainly artists) are working on other projects internally I imagine but are still in the same building.

I was hoping that during the E3 announcement they would show Wipeout HD and say, its available now! The silence around the game is getting a little annoying. Just release it already.

You'd probably be the first person to bitch if it came without Trophies

I'll post this here since it's somewhat relevant. Siren's US PSN pricing has been mentioned during a gamespot live demo. Apparently it'll be $14.99 for a pack of 4 episodes or $39.99 for the entire game.
