WipeOut Fusion details/Preview

Wipeout rocks. Especially the music, I love techno/trance or progressive house.

And we here in the uk are getting it first right??

3. SPEED WITHOUT FRONTIERS
A big issue with WipEout Fusion\'s predecessors was that the speed got ridiculously fast, often faster than a human could handle. What if the capacity for speed was limited only by the player\'s skill? And maybe showcased with, say, a special nosebleed-level \'speedway\' track?

"We can do better than that," says Francis, and Burrows calls up \'Zone\' mode - an entirely new challenge where the player controls a ship on constant accelerate with no brakes. The speed gets faster and faster, and the longer you last, the higher the score clocks up. There are special multiplier bonuses for shield energy, hitting all the speed-ups, perfect laps and so on. Francis claims that it\'s the mode that the designers most frequently play against each other. "The idea came from Tetris - the way the blocks fall faster and faster It\'s theoretically Infinite, but eventually, it Just becomes too fast to cope with. The only question is - what level can you reach? I\'d say that you could probably hit around 3OOOkph In Zone mode"

 

Didn\'t anybody else see this?! This has got to be one of the coolest features in a videogame that I have EVER heard of. This game just jumped up ten notches on my MWL (Most Wanted List), I cannot wait to play this mode!

It must be outrageous when you start going 3000km and you don\'t even have time to react to whatever\'s around the nest bend! Mayhem !

You\'ve impressed me so much by typing that all out that I\'m gonna buy the game!!!

Just joking, I was gonna get it anyway. But time I here about this game I get more and more impressed.

From the latest batch of screenshots of this game its clear they have done some work on getting rid if the terrible jaggies from the early screens and videos. Great thing is, they could have released it about 2 months ago, but they wanted everything perfect, and by the looks and sounds of this game, it darn well will be!

Okay, this is like the first time I post here in weeks, so I\'ll just add to this thread by saying something constructive and very intelligent :

*DROOOOOLLLL*

Hezuz! Devil May Cry, woFusion, MGS2, FFX, Hawke\'s one happy bird now *steals Sammy\'s crackers*
