Any ideas on how much this will cost?

Retr0gamer

I'd be more interested if they announced it would have 2097 tracks in it.

new modes look excellent. I can see zone battle becoming a griefing ground though

projectmayhem

Fantastic news.

Amazing the stuff they've announced in the last 7 days outside of the conference itself. Hopefully they're lining up something massive at the conference itself, especially their keynote event!

RAIN

They keep blowing me away with the support for this game. Its nearly Bungie standards !

Kev_ps3

Cool, hope more people will play the online now, last time I checked I was the only perosn online:eek:

Josey Wales

I don't know how I missed this news but it is excellent. I can't wait.

I'd just like another 5 or 6.

This was announced at E3 but no one seemed to give a toss. It was playable and a few of the heads from wipeoutzone seem to have already had a go.

Its online community isn't enormous but its got quite a nice group of hardcore phantom/rapier people who've been playing since day 1.

As far as the 2097 tracks go, i'd imagine its in the pipeline but only if the support is there for dlc and the game itself. Considering the sales of HD, there was no guarantee of any dlc.

Where the sales bad?

Considering the quality of the game and the fact that it was only €17 that is a disappointment.

I turned this on last night for the first time in a while. Had to download another update. It is great to see the amount of support that the game is getting.

It would have probably been more suited to a physical release, as it didn't sell as well as it was expected to. The learning curve and relative difficulty seemed to turn some away.

Josey Wales

The latest update is up on PSN now, bringing the game up to version 2.0 in anticipation of the Fury Expansion.

LookingFor

Fury is eye-bleedingly good :eek:

Detonator mode is audiovisual overload. Truly amazing.

Modesto Heights is wonderful.

Mossy Monk

**** it. Forgot all about it. Will get it now.

RAIN

Getting it sunday, its been ignored in the gaming media today?

All reports are that its fantastic value for money and a stunning update to a brilliant game.

Kev_ps3

cant wait to get this when I get my ps3 back.... Wipeout is a savage game:)

ouch

Got 'An error has occurred' when i tried to checkout.

Also seems to be no option to add funds. :mad:

Mossy Monk

This is simply porn for the eyeballs. I did notice that it wiped out all gold medals I had already achieved on the HD part of the game. No worry as I can play it all again.

xanthor

I can sign into the Playstation store on a PC, but if i try to sign in on my PS i just get error messages about my password.

Is it just me? I need HD Fury YESTERDAY.

RAIN

still no reviews anywhere. Got it yesterday

It's better then most retail releases and it's a tenner.

Visuals and music are outstanding.

Gna review it tomorow on shoryuken.ie if anyone wants to read me deep throating studio Liverpool

i got the same thing too actually

so i changed my password via my pc, logged out, logged in then after it failed hit sign in on the psn tab, put in my new password and voila, wipeout fury sexiness

RAIN

Still very little coverage on this. Eurogamer,Ign and gamespot still have no review up for it.

I guess there all too busy licking Cliffy B's Balls at comic con to review the years best DLC for a game.

Mine is in my sig.

But seriously, it's Wipeout. If you liked the initial HD release, what's to wait for? I don't understand this. It's cheap as chips [well maybe burger and chips]. Just get it, download it, play it and enjoy it.

[QUOTE=RangeR;61327062....download it....[/QUOTE]


Only 95% and 170 minutes left to go :mad:

xanthor

Only 52% and 276 minutes left. Is this normal for PSN these days?

Josey Wales

I downloaded this add-on in about an hour earlier this evening.

Installing it right now.

Josey Wales

How do you activate the Fury expansion?

I downloaded the 700MB+ file earlier and installed it. Then I installed the 109MB patch but I don't see any difference. When I try to play online against people with Fury it tells me to download it.

In my Game Data Utility folder I can see Wipeout Fury though.

RAIN

Is it in a bubble?

Mite just need to be installed, if you installed it you would know.

Mite have to download it again...sounds like your having a nightmare with it.

Josey Wales

It was in the 'bubble' and I installed it. Now it isn't anywhere.

RAIN

Id say its a download again Job if it aint on the hard drive??

I know its a terrible idea but have switched the console off and on since the install.

sorry im no help!

Maybe you should've installed the patch before installing the Fury download.

i didnt do that and it worked fine

Mossy Monk

I downloaded and installed Fury before downloading and installing the patch.

Josey Wales

I'm going to delete the Wipeout Fury game data and download it again. Hopefully when I install it a second time it will work.

RangeR

I had no problems. I installed the 100MB patch, then downloaded Fury. It downloaded in less than 30 minutes. Installed and worked first time. Just my experience.

If it's downloading slowly for you [200 minutes?] Is it your connection? Wifi signal bad?

Ah well, that rules that out so.

Josey Wales

Didn't have time tonight to do anything about my install issue. I will delete it tomorrow and re-install and see how it goes.

Josey Wales

I finally got Fury installed and working on my PS3. Only got the chance to play it for a half hour or so but it is excellent.

I played one of the new Zone modes online but wasn't sure what the aim was. I came second though so that wasn't too bad. I think the elimination mode is great fun. I played a good few matches of that online. The ability to flip your craft around is awesome. I love facing oncoming traffic with a plasma weapon ready to fire.

RAIN

Glad you got it sorted, Zone battle - you just have to survive the longest and every time you go up a zone the person who activates it leaves a barrier behind them for people to crash into.

Great craic turning the ship around especially if you have a quake.

Josey Wales

So now that Fury has been out for a while what are your opinions on the new tracks?

Personally I still like to play the tracks from Wipeout HD more.

bugs

No one seems to be playing the new tracks, the records on rapier and phantom are all pretty poor.
I have a few issues playing them, for the most part the pads, all the standard tracks have an area allowance on hitting speed/weapon pads but it seems a little too unforgiving on the fury tracks.
The fast players are sticking to the hd tracks for now.

Josey Wales

I haven't actually been playing online much lately. I must get back into it.

Josey Wales

I finally got my last medal on the original Wipeout HD tracks last night. Only 11 months after I first bought it. Still missing one gold though.

Josey Wales

Trying to get Elimin 18 Trophy is driving me crazy. You have to get 18 kills in the Eliminator mode but I keep getting 16 or 17 before the race ends.
