wipeout fans know what happened when Wipeout appeared last gen it was hyped, then it was hyped, then announced, then delayed, then lost in development hell, then unceremoniously released and....
...yeah I'm talking about Fusion.

That...is very strange. We don't even know if this semi-remake of a game is going to hit this year?! What about the next ACTUAL Wipeout sequel? They should just scrap the HD concept, throw what they've cooked into a retail game, design a bunch of new tracks, and actually release a full blown game.

Right, Tekken 5, that get's no fucking support, has shitty net code, and looks like a game from last generation.
Meanwhile, we have Warhawk, with fucking brilliant support, the ability to sustain it's userbase on it's own through the use of user created dedicated servers, and a fucking shit load of replay value.
Right.
The crazy train is down the road. I think it's waiting for you.
Launch it for half price with no online, and then update it for half price with online!!!
The only thing they have going for them is that the Fatal Inertia demo as so dull I could never buy it instead....god it sucked.
Warhawk for $29.99 is about the best bang for your buck you will ever get, calling it over priced is absurd..at full price it was easily worth it.

hud is ugly and too much;

I'd fix it

Oh my god, I totally forgot that this is in development. So, it was planned to be released "this summer"? That's what I heard a few months ago, but we can't trust Sony anymore - almost everything from Sony gets delayed over and over again. Anyway, price will be waay too high for a port, I guess. I hope they will not charge more than 20 ...
Fatal Inertia redeemed. Also, as I'm making crap "jokes", Shuhei Yoshida's big foot comes crashing down again.
Hmm. This intrigues me. Someone above mentioned it may perhaps be an "online" issue. I cannot begin to fathom how they've come to this state of affairs. Surely, at the start of the project they have a tech spec before a line of code is "written"?

Lies!. A "technical issue". Ha. Ha.Ha.
It's impossible that a fucking bug can't delay a game 6 months or A YEAR. With 6 months they can redo all the on-line code 3 times. I think the problem isn't here, because it can be removed a sold later through DLC like surely they are going to do with all the missing features.
Remember they removed the half of the game features initially planned, surely because they want to sell it through "add ons".
If they are ripping all the content from the PSP games, surely partially the on-line code would be also ripped from it (awesome work in psp BTW).
I think the real reason is they had (and have) the Wipeout HD staff busy helping other projects, and they prefer to fit all their PSN store windows with generic GARBAGE like their PSN games showed in E3 and shits like EleWTFunk.
If the game is being to be delayed more than 2 months more, give me back all that removed features/modes, and add all the missing circuits and music tracks from the PSP games(bring back Cold Storage). And release it also in Blue-Ray . And change the voice.

Especially if it is a problem with the online component; a major problem like this should only exist and be quickly rectified in the early stages of development.
It sounds like this literally came out of nowhere, surprising.
Wasn't this supposed to come out in May? I realllllllly want to play this game. It is one of the reasons why I have a PS3. Starting to get concerned since it has been pushed back so many times.
There has to be more than enough of this game completed for Sony to have been able to show it off at E3. It was dumb to keep it away from their conference!

Maybe they're using some kind of third party tech in their engine (physics or something), have fallen out with the company/supplier, and are now redoing that portion of the game. Something similar to the Too Human UE3 incident. Dunno, reaching now. Who knows.Opus Angelorum said:

Oh Fuck, I was looking forward to having this more than any other game this year and now I'm being told I'll be lucky to play it this year... FUUUUCK!!!
Everything I can think of was in the sony family. Physics were pulled directly out of Pure or Pulse, Art for those games was done by sony not DR, the engine was one the older SCEE game engines(I think motorstorm instead of liverpools own f1 engine), they've done their own online before...pswii60 said:
it has to be a problem with their own tech and not pulled licensing. Maybe they streamed track and craft graphics and phantom shortcuts shredded the harddrive into bits?

Philip Kollar on 1up asked Scott Rohde, Sony VP of product development about where Wipeout HD is:
This is not sounding good at all. I'm surprised they don't have any PR friendly response to people asking about this title. This answer even suggests that the game may never come to the US.

I think they are going to the pull the PSN release and put it on bluray.
The phrase "Sony hopes it will be available before the end of the year" makes my stomach turn. This is fucking bullshit!
The suggestion that there's a technical issue which different regions need to fix makes it seem like there's some environment variable that's out of the developer's hands. I'm guessing that a game running at 60fps is going to run into latency problems in online mode. Tekken had some really strange slow-down and stuff.
Anyway, who wants to buy an original launch PS3? It's really good at sitting around and waiting for software.

I say we start a petition.
...like it'll do anything..

If they are screwed techwise but not starting a new project it would make sense to keep artists on tracks and craft for awhile.Bearillusion said:
Framerate does not have to link to online latency. If it was sweden would be the only country with online gaming.K0NY said:
Tekken probably does it because blockstun, hit stun, and juggles interupt the characters. In racing and shooters collisions aren't as harsh so no artificial slowdown is needed to keep the game consistent.
The different regions thing may have meant that they asked all the ninjas for help already. I don't know what the issue could be aside from the fact that it is probably something really weird and unexpected. It may be an online problem but it isn't the speed of light and internet routing causing frame drops.
