If you’ve not already played the hell out of the PSP titles in the series, all this will be brand new and you’ll have a blast. Whether or not that matters to you is the key. Essentially, this is WipEout Pulse with a couple of tracks from Pure thrown in for balance, dressed up in HD with some motion-control for good measure. Weapons too, haven’t changed, and the music is the same soundtrack from the last WipEout game. And likewise, although the familiar teams are a staple of the series there’s only a token gesture to new craft. Sure, they’re rendered in impeccable detail with stunning high resolution textures and incredible lighting, but we’ve raced on them hundreds of times before on the PSP. Likewise, the uber-fast loading and 5.1 remastered audio scream superb production values and lengthy single player mode offers a far greater challenge than all the rest of the PSN’s library put together – for £12 this is an absolute steal despite there only being 8 tracks.īut those tracks aren’t new. We’re not suggesting for a second that WipEout HD isn’t technically brilliant: the graphics are a fantastic blend of Designers Republic clinical minimalism and the raw, gritty on-track headrush once you’re in a race.
#WIPEOUT HD FURY REVIEW IGN 1080P#
Despite what other sites like to think, we revealed the news that epilepsy issues were behind WipEout HD’s delay, and that was after sitting on the story for a full 48 hours (you should see our ‘draft’ section, it’s scary) – but rest assured, now that we’ve finally got WipEout on the hard drive, screaming along at 60fps in full 1080p we can forgive the slightly tardy release and the toned-down visuals, because after all the hype and press, Studio Liverpool have pulled off an amazing feat: getting the whole World emotionally invested in something we’ve all played to death before.
