I think Wipeout Fusion is better. :)
-
well i personally have never really been into wipeout - nothing against it just never really played it
i love Extreme G though - i don\'t know why people have troublwe playing it - its not as fast as people say or think - at least not to me - although you do get a sense of speed when playing it
-
This would be easier if it was a poll, but oh well. :) I love the Wipeout games. I can\'t wait for Fusion.
-
I\'d take woFusion over any game*. (wipEout freak)
There\'s nothing to match the thrills wo2097 still offers. If the next wipEout is even half as good I\'ll be locked in my room for ages once again.
* perhaps I\'m exaggerating a bit here
-
WipEout any day...
-
My opinion lends too towards the Wipeout, as I kinda liked the Extreme G, but thought it was TOO fast for its own good.
It, of course, depens. We can\'t know for sure if Wipeout Fusion is just a cash-in ( graphical update... I wouldn\'t mind \'tho, but some would :) ) - and will it offer something REALLY new ( like it is said that it will ). I just don\'t want it to be a product of hype.
Extreme-G 3 hasn\'t got the hype with it, so it might be a pleasant surprise. Or then a big disappointment ( to those who know the series ).
But first I\'d like to see some REAL gameplay-pics before I even think further!
-
There\'s nothing like turning your stereo up to max, making it pumping out those beats, drink a lot of Red Bull and play Wipeout... Man now that\'s a rush hehe
-
Wipeout\'s soundtrack is some of the best.My favourite of all the series is track06 from Wipeout1.
Thats the best techno I ve ever heard in my life.
-
i have seen extrem g3 pics and i have seen WOfusion pics, i must say they both look like thier gonna be great games, extrem g3 will come out before WO, to hold us over till WO is released, i think i will look more into extrem g3 at this point, i kmow WO is gonna rule, but i wana see in g3 will be just as good, if so then ill buy both of them.
-
intresting to see which will be released first, my bet is on Extreme G seeing the amount of Delays that Wipeout is suffering at the moment :mad:.
-
I\'m gonna go with EG3 on this one. I just prefer EG\'s gameplay over WO\'s. I like the tracks better as well. ...and the music. But they\'ll both be good games.
-
Wipeout games have always kicked ass...not sure about EG, I honestly haven\'t heard of it. But I wasted so many hours playing Wipeout XL on my PSX in college that I am surprised that I have a degree on my wall. So, I\'m gonna have to go with Wipeout Fusion; that is, if this game ever comes out. I do have to say that Wipeout 3 wasn\'t quite as good as XL; I hope that they don\'t just make the graphics prettier while taking another step backward...
-
Unicron!, which song is that?
Isn\'t that Chemical Beats by The Chemical Brothers, if so that isn\'t techno
Chemical Brothers is not techno hehe, just wanted to point that out
I hate techno/trance/rap with a passion you see
-
So does WO:Fusion have a release date yet?
-
I\'m SEARCHING.................................................
-
Wipeout Fusion\'s date is still not set. I\'d put my money on Extreme G3 releasing first. In any case, I think both games will be worthy purchases. I just hope both have really good frameratesintensifying that futuristic super speed. Anything less then 60FPS on a racer is just sad imo.
-
Wipeout:Fusion, although having never played either of the previous Extreme-Gs saying so is perhaps a little unfair. Hmm I wonder how many here have played Power-Drome, any takers?

No thats not the one.I dont have my PSX1 and games here with me:(.But I remember it is track 6 if you put the game CD in the CD player.If I remember well the track\'s name(in the track choice menu while pausing the game or in the options menu) started with MES"something".
As for hating techno/trance/rap its a matter of personal taste:)

WipeOut hands down :wedge:.
I bought WipeOut with my PSX back in 1995 and i still enjoy it. It has a fast and technical gameplay that makes you play the tracks over and over. *Sigh* Even when i have played them hundreds of times, i still could feel the adrenalin when i make a double turn at high speed and try to place the enemy\'s craft in my sight.
I hope they would make WO:Fusion like the first WipeOut. It was the best in the series IMO.

It should be "Messij" i think.
I prefer the 4th one... hmm, Cold Comfort.

Yeap thats the one.

I liked how you could pick your pilot in the original. You got to be someone instead of just controlling an empty ship. But for cryin\' out loud the collision detection was absolutely infuriating before you got the hang of it; Boost - Stop - Boost - Stop - Boost - Bite the controller - Boost - Stop - Notice that you lost a tooth, etc. Also the Ai was annoying; the same pilot kept winning all the time, cranking up the points so the player didn\'t have any seam to win. The tracks were fab on the first wo too. Me being a silly person, went and sold my copy for some reason... must have that game again... needing my fix *trembling*
IMO, wo2097 was the best in the series, and still is by far the best futuristic racer ever made. You could relax more while racing without avoiding the walls like they\'d give you ebola or something, smirk like an idiot when you air-brake through a tight bend at 450mph and see those sparks fly when your ship ever so gently makes contact with a wall. The tracks were also perfect, absolutely perfect. w3o felt flat and dull after 2097. Fusion\'s tracks look, in a word, revolutionary, if the vids released so far are real or anything to go by.

I partially agree.
The AI and the collision detection were bad aspects of the fisrt WipeOut, but if you ask me i don\'t feel the same excitement when i play one of the sequels. Even when they\'re both much more faster, the control has been simplified and that make the gameplay less challenging IMO.
In WipeOut you couldn\'t just maintain your craft in the track and expect to make a good time; you need to control your craft with precision through the tracks and you really felt the centrifugal force in the turns. When i play this game i really need to be concentrated in all my movements( and the other pilots movements) from the start to the end of the race.
I think that this is what makes it so funny.
The first time i played WipeOut 2097 i realized that the gameplay was much more balanced, and the AI was improved( the days were you ran alone were finally over :)), but i also felt that it losed some of the things that made WipeOut so different from other futuristic racing games.
I still recognize that WipeOut 2097 is globally better than WipeOut, but i wanna see those things that the original WipeOut had recovered in this new title.

Great.
I was not totally sure \'cos my little brother took my WipeOut time ago( hey, Luisma bring it back to me RIIIIIIGHT NOOOWWWW! :evil: )

I too feel the same way when I play Wipeout.
Wipeout\'s controls needed skill to master while the others were easy to pick up and play.
Damn that last track(snowy one) is the hardest track I ve ever playied in any racing game.
I alSo thing the sountrack fited perfectly with the enviroments and generally with the Wipeout world than what the soundtracks of the sequels were.
Wipeout1 is still a unique experience in my mind that the sequels havent captured yet.
The presentation and the design was second to none.And I think the best in all the series
I am having hopes that WipoutFusion will be as revolutionary and atmospheric as what Wipout1 was on PSX1 in its time....
The Sequels gained speed over skill.Thats one of the reason reason why I prefer Wipeout1
-
I actually have great expectations about WipeOut: Fusion, and one of the reasons is \'cos it looks a lot like the first one( the colors, the environments design, the crafts). I think that isn\'t a coincidence, as it will be the first game in the series that\'ll be launched in the new generation consoles, they\'re probably trying to return to the original essence of the series. I\'m not sure if this will include the gameplay though.
Anyway, i don\'t want to see those strange hooks between the crafts( were you accelerated without control until you go through a wall), or the bad AI of the pilots, but i will be amazed if they include at least one difficulty level with the same technical complexity as the first WipeOut.
Just imagine that insane control that it had, with an AI way better than the original, crafts that have 48 different control parameters instead of 7 ( welcome to the real Antigravity Racing League :D) and are totally customizable, interactive environments with independent paths, and all this with the type of graphics and smoothness that the PS2 will be able to do within a half year.
I can\'t wait :wedge:.
