Interesting to see how much consideration went into the placement of the surroundings alongside the tracks. You rarely read about the intricacies of environmental design in racing games.

A quick couple of questions (one of which has no chance of being answered, but hey, I tried )

1) While I realise that time issues prevented the alternative HUDs from being modified for Fury, is there a chance at all that you might consider releasing an update or a piece of DLC to include them later down the line? While the visual design in Wipeout HD is gobsmackingly gorgeous, I can’t help but feel the subtlty of Wipeout 3’s HUD destroys the default and 2097 modes. Sure, they might contain nearly the same amount of information but 3 feels far less in your face about it.

2) Considering how much attention has been lavished on HD’s environments, and the fact that no other science fiction videogame looks like Wipeout to this day, have you ever thought about branching its world out into another genre? There’s so much variety and consistency to the landscape that I hardly doubt I’m the only player who’d love to explore more within an action adventure setting (particularly after playing Mirror’s Edge).

In a forum I have read that the actual Wipeout HD has a sort of barrel roll bug and effectively sometimes it fails. Is it true? And will be fixed?
And what about weapons, any changes?
In any case it will be mine day 1, no money better spent for months and months of fun!

I like the new models for the ships, but it does look a little bit fat when viewing from behind, maybe making it slimmer would be better?

Also I would recommend the following

Sandbox mode to have :
Custom Ship design (Taking parts to combine with eachother to create unique wipeout ships)
Custom racetracks design (To extend the lifetime of Wipeout HD)
See little big planet for example!

Otherwise you devs could include the tracks of Wipeout 2097/Wip3out SE in this or a later expansion.

I love the work you put into it.

Greetings

Hi Zeroeight,

Yes, some of the original trophies can be won while playing the new content. AG Assassin shouldn’t take too long in the new Eliminator mode

Thanks for playing,

Paul.
