Wipeout HD: What With The Commercial During Loading?

Im sure alot of people choosed Wipeout as one of their free games. So I wonder what do you think about this. It seem the game took longer to load then it should in order to for the full commerical to complete. I seen ads in video games but actual commericals?

Yup, they always had them. It doesn't prolong the loading so who cares?Fightingfan

I've never seen a commercial. I just choose the track and it loads.

The only ads I've seen were the ads in the loading screen in Smackdown vs RAW 2010.

Great, I've avoided the 360 because of ads, if they start coming to the PS3 I'll be peeved.

I kno rite?

It genuinely pissed me off. I mean, if the studio was low on funds and they needed to sell out, I could deal, but it's just futching annoying.

Doesn't help that the game was, like, 20 bucks.

Commercial? I've never seen any commercials in that game (granted it's been months since I've played it).

It definitely takes longer to load when the commercial plays. And it is just SOOOOOO freakin' annoying watching that same damned commercial over and over and over.

Oh well, it was a pretty mediocre game and I got it for free. Don't think I'll be seeing that commercial ever again :lol:

So what? The loading times for the game have been pretty killer since it first came out.

And when half of Studio Liverpool is probably still jobless right now, I really can't complain about a couple commercials they need to use in order to keep their meager team afloat.

Not sure why they'd need commercials to stay afloat when they're owned by Sony.

Yeah I noticed that, anoying considering they should make the game free because of that greedy basterds.

That's like paying for hulu on the ps3 and seeing comercial oh wait.

Wipeout is the best game on PSN. You got it for free so you shouldn't really be complaining. I paid for it years ago and the commercials are not obtrusive so it doesn't matter. The load times are blazing fast as well.

What an absolute ridiculous post. The game didn't launch with adverts. They spent a lot of time and effort creating the game to the extremely high standard it is. After launch they had financial issues. So they included some non intrusive adds in the short load times to alleviate the problems. Your comment was just ignorant and unnecessary.

Do you have any idea how much time, effort and money goes into video game development? Do you honestly believe that a game of Wipeout's calibre should be free because there are some small adds that appear for several seconds during a load screen?

Wipeout itself has always included real life brands in the game. One of the very first games featured Red Bull quite heavily, its done deliberately to ground the game.

I'm not saying adverts in a game are a good thing. I sure as hell don't want to see them. However, in Wipeout's case I think they're acceptable. Some form of real life branding is part of the Wipeout universe. I recall Puma being in the PSP games a lot too.

Saying that they are greedy bas***ds and that the game should be free is ridiculous though.

I have no idea what commercials you guys are talking about;o My game is fully patched up + expansion, but still no ads.

It was a game given out for free, it would make sense to have commercials. The commercials don't causethe loading to take any longer so I don't see what the big deal is...

I still don't see your point as with alot of free media uses adverts as a way of supplement income for services E.G. radio, internet sites, broadcast televison, and just because other games have done it doesn't validate any of your argument. I noticed you hold the wipeout series in high regard as do I, but just because I like something doesn't mean that it can't stand any criticism. Although the greedy basterds comment might have been a little harsh but in my opinion it is kinda like double dipping and it shouldn't be tolerated in the slightest or we'll be seeing a lot more of it.

I'm pretty frusterated by it for 2 reasons. The first is it does take longer to load when the commercial plays, the bar has to stop to wait for the commercial to catch up. gamerguy845

The bar doesn't slow down to allow the commercial to catch up, I don't get this comment. The loading bar flows at a pretty continuous speed and the load times are still only several seconds long.

Maybe it's only in the Us or something. I played it once the other day and i don't remember an ad, but i could be wrong.

Finally, evidence! I bought this game hard copy more than a year ago, and these commercials came up where no one else believed me. I asked everyone else but they all didn't take me seriously.
