re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

First impressions, lovely looking game. Unfortnately that's all I've been able to play so far, went around the two tracks you initially get that are unlocked. Did a race on each of them.


Absolutely 100% 60fps and no screen tearing so far.......nice !

Have fun everyone

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

Played a couple of games online and so far I'm loving it. No sound or graphics problems I have noticed.

Photo mode is fun. I also won my first online game

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

Absolutely incredibly visuals, captures the look and feel of the original perfectly. Online seemed great, custom soundtracks worked fine (though not XMB ). Overall a very polished and enjoyable experience.

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

It looks pretty awesome but I've got a question: is there LAN multiplayer?

Actually I've thought of a second: is the game available to buy in BluRay format? I didn't originally think so, but then I thought of GT: Prologue (which was available to buy or download) and only recently I saw a few copies of Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty in HMV, a game I had originally thought was only available on the PSN. If I had the choice I'd definitely buy the tangible version, unless it cost significantly more.

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

Downloaded earlier but had to go out just as it finished... now installing the thing while the wife gives our boy a bath, so it's ready to roll when i finally get some time to play later.... can't wait. All the good memories flooding back, and the graphics in the pics look stunning....

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

Can anyone please tell me if this supports in game music. i.e Can you play your own music thats stored on your hard drive instead of listening to the custom soundtrack. Cheers in advance.

Thumbs down WipEout HD Problem

I downloaded full game and unlock from the store earlier and installed as normal. fired game up without a problem, credits, agreements etc.. all went fine but as soon as i press campaign or any other option it freezes and doesn't un freeze. tried rebooting ps3, still nothing. I deleted game save and game and redownloaded and still the same problem.

Anyone else having issues?

I have a launch 60gb PS3 with upgraded HDD

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

Its the size of your friends list. I had 75 *I think* and it froze, trimmed to 64 it now works fine. It was thought it was those with over 50 but I've just proved that wrong. Those with small friends lists are defo not having any probs tho.

re: (PSN) WipEout HD - Play & Help

I think I'm going to wait and see how much it is on the US store before downloading it. If the the US version works out cheaper I'll buy it from there instead.
