Wipeout HD was a great game that was totally ignored by system wars because A) it is download only and B) Gamespot gave it a 7.5/10 - the lowest score of any major review site. In fact, most other reviews gave it 9's and 8's.

Now, Wipeout Fury has come along and is getting more AAA scores. It is an expansion to the original game.

If anyone has got a PS3 and not got Wipeout HD, stop being a loser...

I second this, its a blast and a major steal at only $10. Everyone who owns a PS3 should grab this.

Well, it's just a downloable update/add-on. I agree it's stellar, but it doesn't count as a "AAA exclusive".

The tracks aren't that great, though. Very short, narrow, and few jumps. But the game is really fun, even more than fusion for me. And at least it's not your everyday car-racing game where nothing is new. I think there should be more combat racing games.

Wipeout Fury is awesome, but its an add on to a downloadable only game ... which means it doesn't mean anything here.

Yeah, the tracks aren't fantastic, but they're still fun. The new modes rule, and it still looks amazing as ever. Took a couple of shots in the photo mode last night but they didn't come out as well as I'd hoped:

Edit: should have uploaded them somewhere else because they're supposed to be in 1080p.

Sony PSN cards can't hit Europe soon enough. I absolutely need this game (And the original HD) plus it's got 1 of my favourite tracks from Wipeout pulse.

Is it an exclusive when the all the courses come from the PSP? That was Gamespot main issue was that everything on the game had already been on the PSP.

It doesn't count as an AAAE, because it's a PSN only title. But yea, I've been considering picking it up for some time.

Their is a difference between all and Half. Because in Mario Kart Wii they had half the courses updated from previous Mario Kart games. The other half of the courses are brand new.

I believe there were the same number of new courses in Mario Kart Wii has there was in Mario Kart DD. WhipoutHD had no new courses.

A few of the new courses still resemble a lot of the older ones in MK. Plus I think going from PSP to 1080p @ 60fps is a more monumental undertaking than what the MK guys had to do and now with Fury they have a bunch of new tracks, new vehicles and some awesome new game modes.

Plus I was extremely disappointed with Mario Kart Wii compared to its previous iterations, it felt like a poor port that played worse with the gimmicky controls, so I'll continue to hate on it :P

:evil:@ SEGA. They had a very tremendous idea with Full Auto, but the execution was very poor:cry:

When you upload with photobucket, there is an little drop down box saying "resize to" whatever. There is one that says like "1mb" or something. Considering its only 1080, it shouldn't be more than 500kb's, so it should keep the images same size.

You can pick which controller you want to use in Mario Kart. My son is amazing with the wiimote but I still use old school. I think the reason may be it's what I am use to. Because he is not use to a controller it makes the Wiimote much easier for him to use. There is no new tracks on Whpeout 3d...Quote from Gamespot "Wipeout HD may be a rehash of other games in the series, but a bargain price and fantastic 1080p visuals should please new and old fans alike."

[QUOTE="Christopper"]I bought Wipeout HD when it came out and really wanted to like it, but I dont understand the fascination with it? Why this over something like Motostorm with it's multiple routes and varying landscapes? Or Gran Turismo with it's fine tweaking, near perfect simulation of real life vehicles and fantastic graphics? Wipeout HD just seems like your running down a tunnel that sometimes does a loop, it's great that people like it. I would like to know why though?

All different types of racing. I liked Motorstorm and GT as well, but they are different than Wipeout. No other racing game gives you the sense of SPEED like Wipeout. The higher level classes get ridiculously insane. I also love how smooth Wipeout is.

It's not some mere add-on or DLC. It's a full-blown expansion that adds nearly as much content as the original game itself had.

If the Lost and the Damned could be counted as an AAAE, this one should too. It's like a new game on its own.

It's the same game as Wipeout on PSP but with updated graphics.
