WipEout HD in-game ads return, still affect load times

Joystiq writes: Fans of Sony's blistering anti-grav racer WipEout HD will no doubt recall the game's update to version 2.0 back in August. That's because one of the additions came in the form of advertisements that would play during race loading screens. Having to see ads in a game you've paid full price for is one thing, the fact that they nearly doubled load times is another. Thankfully, Sony responded to an outpouring of ire over the ads by yanking them. Well, as we were warned last month, they're back.

Is this what you call Playing Beyond? LMAO...

n4gn4gn4gn4g5264d ago

have had ads...

Hell...RedBull was a major early advertiser in one of the WipEout series.

You seem to be implying that other systems don't have ads in their games.

May I introduce you to Massive?

MaximusPrime5264d ago

yea unlike xbox 360, that machine has so many advertisement. people complains.

you failed

MaximusPrime5264d ago

affect loads time? i hardly noticed it.

these adverts do not appear every time. just sometimes.

i'm perfectly happy with the way adverts added into this game.

Darkfocus5264d ago

it dos but only a little like 5 seconds or so but if you play a lot it adds up and personally I'd like it taken out and If people complain like last time they'll probably remove it again.

Guido5264d ago

Now there is something you don't see every day... Sorry, but Joystiq can sit and spin on a joystick for all I care. I tried listening to one of their pod casts and let me tell you I have not heard a pod cast that made me want to puke before that... They took that cookie hand and fist. Pathetic.

Socomer 19795264d ago

Ive only seen the fat princess ad. how does joystiq know it affect load times? I didnt. did they really take the time to use a stop watch and race it? wow, can you say no life low life?

WipEout Omega Collection vs WipEout HD Fury comparison

YouTube channel Cycu1 has created a video which shows us a side by side comparison of WipEout Omega Collection (PS4 Pro) and WipEout HD Fury (PS3).

corroios2521d ago

Damn, the rez and textures its huge. The image is so Sharp!!!! and this game was already very good on the Ps3

bouzebbal2520d ago

Was 1080p 60fps on ps3.
This isn't just a resolution bump it's a complete rework.

First thing I'll do is beast zico on anulpha pass..

Teflon022520d ago

Only a real WipEout fan would say such a thing lol

bouzebbal2520d ago

only a WipEout fan would understand what another fan would say!
My love for this series started on Saturn.. A couple decades back ;)

Teflon022520d ago

My first one was I think WipEout on n64, I sucked then I played it on ps1 i think and eventually learned how to play lol. From that it was Hd on ps3 and then every WipEout release from then on I got. I went back and played the older ones I missed on emulation lol. I love this series, I really hope they'll make a entirely new game on ps4 after this.

Sniperwithacause2520d ago

Zone Zeus 🏆 , trying to hit zone 75!
Broke two controllers and still was unable to get that 🏆

bouzebbal2520d ago

Lol you made it even harder on yourself with a broken controller..
Zeus requires focus.
I platinumed HD and I wanna do the same with omega.
I couldn't platinum 2048 because they erased all my online progress I was so pissed. Got all arcade gold medals and made it pretty far in online.

ToastyMcNibbles2520d ago

I am soooo happy to have wipeout again I was afraid it wouldnt return again. Cant wait

Einhander19712520d ago

Looks stunning, yet another purchase .

Der_Kommandant2520d ago (Edited 2520d ago )

Whether they like it or not.

Fist4achin2520d ago

That's right! When I listen to edm, so do my neighbors damn it!

10 Of The Greatest Game OST's Ever

TGH Writes: "A soundtrack is what brings the game to life and fills it with memories, it’s also what separates an average game from a great game. You won’t see any must-play titles having lacklustre soundtracks, it’s all integral to the experience.

So, without further ado, here are my top 10 video game soundtracks – and I can promise you that it’s not just your generic list of games you see on everybody else’s top 10."

... and no Lost Eden!? What!?!?

3-4-53892d ago

Title says 10 of, not THE 10 best.

These are just 10 of the 200 good OST's out there.

DeFFeR3892d ago

No, the author writes:

"here are my top 10 video game soundtracks"

Clearly the author is drunk.

3-4-53891d ago (Edited 3891d ago )

I see, but the title and what he writes reflect two different opinions/facts/statements.

You may be onto something with your "Drunk" theory. lol

That being said, my top 10, would have to be a top 100.

There are way too many OST's I've heard since the late 80's early 90's to just only have 10 favorites.

CaptainYesterday3892d ago

I agree with all of these I would also add Metal Gear Rising :)

ferelinstincts3892d ago

No MGS?!?! Lol :(

All opinions tho. :)

Tontus3892d ago

God of War series, Alan Wake, Mass Effect series, Bioshock series, Oddworld AO & AE, Castlevania: LoS, Oblivion, Fable 1 & 2, Deus Ex: HR have my favourite OST's.

pandehz3892d ago

Was just about to type most of those.

Instead we have some very odd songs which are mediocre technically. Of course taste is subjective to the author.

Wipeout HD: Fury Vita Review | EuroGamer

EuroGamer: "This is a brilliant update that retroactively switches WipEout 2048 from being a competent handheld series entry to being one of the Vita's very best games."
