I love me some WipEout

Almost have my platinum trophy in 2048. I just need to finish up the multiplayer campaign (ugh).

PirateThom4331d ago

That would be awesome, especially if it brings Assegai back into the ship roster.

Jio4331d ago

WipEout Fury has the best ships, I'll dominate in multiplayer!

sway_z4331d ago

WipEout is a cool racer/shooter...but I would really appreciate if Sony made Vita specific games that you cannot even get on PS3.

I can't see the Vita holding its own with so many PS3 ports...the USP (Unique Selling Point) of any console/handheld is the must have games that you won't find on any other hardware.

That's why I have held back from buying PS Vita, I already have most of it's catalogue on PS3 in one form or another.

We don't want ports, we want exclusive stellar games..I know some will name a few Vita specific games...but is a few enough?

I'm not being negative about Vita, I just want it to succeed! ...it's the most powerful handheld ever created for a mass market, and it seems Sony don't know quite what to do with it.

Frustrating!!!!

That being said....WipEout is an awesome game :)

PirateThom4331d ago

Yeah, but this is just adding existing content to the unique Vita game.

sway_z4331d ago

PirateThom, I agree to a degree, but you must see the Vita has way too many PS3 ports/versions of existing PS3 games.

My point is probably for another thread since this is all about WipEout.....

Damn, I really, really want Vita to do something amazing...it's early days I guess.

Let's see this PS3 mini fulfil it's potential in the years to come....then i'll get one to compliment my future PS4 purchase.

PoSTedUP4331d ago (Edited 4331d ago )

i do believe that sony needs these games on vita because the developer And the games are already established, it means easy money and a continuing jump in already established fan base from console to "console" which they do need to sell SOMETHING at this price, otherwise they will not profit as much or if any. i dont think they have the money to market any of these new games too much at the moment so they have to keep their solid fan base satisfied to an extent. and the franchises Are awesome. i understand it, but i also agree with you. im sick of wipeout and other rehashed games. Gravity Rush was an incredible breath of fresh air (playing right now). they need a Socom2HD REMAKE! and PS Home on Vita (that would be EPIC). but really all we can do now is wait, just like when the ps3 first came out. this handheld is magnificent and i cannot wait for the games and updates to come (personally Persona4Golden). i WAS getting frustrated on what games to buy bc the selection was minimal, then i found Gravity Rush. next is Resistance for the FPS Online experience. happy gaming : )

Cryptcuzz4331d ago

You should look into Gravity Daze. Lemme tell you, the game is unique, the graphics are awesome and the music is really top notch.

Flying pass building high up in the sky or dropping is oh so very cool. The premise of this game and the unique abilities you have can only be found on the Vita.

Play it at a store, a friend, or buy yourself a Vita with this game, it doesn't matter, you can thank me later. Cheers! :)

PoSTedUP4331d ago

i love using Square (attack) to travel quicker, i am beasting with the controls so far. lol

Bell Boy4331d ago (Edited 4331d ago )

All this too many ports is bs imo

Wipeout 2048 is exclusive content to the Vita.
Wipeout is a very popular established franchise that as appeared on Sony hardware since PS1...this new dlc is indeed on PS3 version but since was making a good game better a bad idea!

You can not seriously expect Sony to launch a new console with only new IP's....odd nobody suggests Nintendo do not have Mario on their new console or if Microsoft launched a handeld that Halo would not have a game developed.

Vita as a good mix of direct ports..I have Rayman and Mortal Kombat for Vita but passed them on PS3 as to many other games I wanted..so right there people like me warrant their inclusion in the game line up.

Seems to me people confuse the established franchise Vita games as ports when in fact many such as Assasins Creed 3 have exclusive campaigns or Mortal Kombat exclusive content.

Uncharted is a Vita exclusive campaign as is Resistance in case people think they are merely ports

When LBP launches this will also be put down as a port when infact it is a brand new campaign with new Vita exclusive features..IMO this may actually turn out to be the defacto LBP given my experience playing the beta

If you want brand new IP's for Vita try Gravity Rush and Escape Plan for starters...

Rant Over..lol

smashcrashbash4331d ago

Ignore them.They just repeat the same thing over and over again. We know that the VITA is more then just ports. We are even getting our own Assassins Creed, Silent Hill and COD. You have to excuse gamers these days. They just repeat the same thing no matter what changes or what happens. People have been saying that all exclusives sell better on the other systems then on the PS3 which is a lie but that doesn't stop people from still saying it.

Sony, What Happened To Wipeout?

Will we ever see more of Sony’s futuristic racing franchise?

PSNghost881717d ago

Better question. What happened to Ridge Racer? LOL

darthv721717d ago

That's better suited to ask Namco, not Sony.

Forn1717d ago

Better question, what happened with Motorstorm?!

darthv721717d ago

I would absolutely LOVE a motorstorm collection. All 5 games in one package.
Motorstorm
Motorstorm Pacific Rift (my favorite)
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Motorstorm Arctic Edge
Motorstorm RC

himdeel1717d ago

Sony Liverpool was shut down, that's what happened. Ask harder questions.

DillyDilly1717d ago

Better question what happened with Twisted Metal ?

KickSpinFilter1717d ago (Edited 1717d ago )

Ya that would be awesome but highly unlikely, it’s a little messed up while Driveclub started out lousy all the server and updates ended up making one fabulous racer. Developer was able to turn around Days Gone into a pretty good game not sure why Driveclub did not get that chance also

neutralgamer19921717d ago

sony has way too many IP's that's what happened

King_Noctis1717d ago

Even better question, what happen to Twisted Metal?

So many great exclusives that I hope Sony bring back for the PS5.

jivah1716d ago

Why get a motorstorm collection that will look like ass when we can get a new installment properly developed that will have brand new maps, vehicles and mechanics as well as legacy ones.

VTKC1716d ago

wow imagine if they did a motorstorm with VR compatible like wipeout! Would be insane! With all the dirt and mud flying in all directions and looking to the side or any direction to see the other competitiors while racing around the track and the sense of speed when you decide to hit the nitros! They got to do this!

Sevir1716d ago

Evolution shut down after Driveclub didn't make money.

The Wood1716d ago

Who owns the ips for motor storm and twisted metal? Can't they be reborn

Forn1716d ago

I should have stated that I already know Evolution was shut down. Despite that, Sony could give the IP to another studio if they wanted. I realize that Apocalypse didn't sell very well, but that was due to circumstances beyond Evolution's control. I feel like Evo should have at least started this gen off with a Motorstorm series remaster before they went on to Driveclub to help get their feet wet with the new hardware. Might have helped them be better prepared in creating Driveclub.

dumahim1716d ago (Edited 1716d ago )

better question, why Motorstorm?

What happened to Wipeout is that the games only logical and natural evolution involves VR. Which Sony has already introduced to test out people’s reaction. If enough people are actually interested, then we will get the next Wipeout. Otherwise I think there are a lot of people out there who remember the franchise fondly, but wouldnt be will to fork out full price for it. Lets see if Wipeout VR will turn the franchise into its glory days when the fast paced racer was a unique offering.

Simple really. Nothing happened to it except time.

LoveSpuds1717d ago

The first PSVR experience I had that made me feel dizzy and nauseous, I was pretty gutted about it because it looked amazing and very immersive.

quent1716d ago

Not everyone cares about tedious VR, how's Psyognis doing these days btw ?

S2Killinit1716d ago

Not everyone needs to care. Not everyone cared about games either. But here we are.

FinalFantasyFanatic1716d ago

I would love a new Ridge Racer, but the series has fallen off the earth somehow.

fr0sty1716d ago

Wipeout is in great shape, finally released in VR, the way it was meant to be played.

They shut down the studio that makes the game.

DaDrunkenJester1717d ago

How dare they. What happened to Motorstorm?

0hMyGandhi1717d ago

I really miss Motorstorm :(

NiteX1717d ago

They also shut down that studio and most of them went to Codemasters that made Onrush which sold horribly.

DaDrunkenJester1717d ago

Aww man, what about the Twisted Metal and Warhawk devs? Are they still around?

KyRo1717d ago

I miss Motorstorm too. I miss cinematic racers in general. Split Second, Motorstorm Apocalypse, even NFS the Run. Racing with earthquakes, avalanches, tsunamis, police, bombs etc was thrilling. No everything is a boring sim/semi sim. We ain't allowed fun with racers anymore

KickSpinFilter1717d ago

What happened to Crackdown 3?

DaDrunkenJester1717d ago

@kickspin

It got made and released? Lol what do you mean?

Sevir1716d ago

Driveclub Developer Evolution shut down because Driveclub didn't make them money.

They were planning on supporting Driveclub while also working on a new Motorstorm. That got scrapped after DCVR update released and the chopping axe came down on the studio.

They went on to become a Codemasters's subsidiary called "Evo"and put out Onrush, which was a spiritual successor to Motorstorm. But it sold horribly and Codemasters shuttered Evo for good.

Bad management from the get go of The PS4 generation. Lead to a great team being liquidated. :(

They lost me with that decision.

IRetrouk1717d ago (Edited 1717d ago )

Have you got a point or is it just a wee trolling session mate?

DaDrunkenJester1717d ago

Just a little bit of trolling, but in all honesty I do love these games and it is a shame they aren't around anymore.

IRetrouk1717d ago

Personally didnt like wipeout, just couldn't get into it, I'm sure if there is a demand a new one will be made, who knows what they have planned.

DaDrunkenJester1717d ago

I loved the collection that recently came out and then coupled that with some PSVR support made it even better.

IRetrouk1717d ago

Glad you enjoyed it man, I hope they make another for the fans, nothing worse than really wanting a game that isn't coming.

How Developers Adapted to the End of Sony's Handheld Line

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "When Sony entered the world of handheld gaming in 2004, it provided a new opportunity for developers to chase a different market than had existed before. Over the next decade we saw multiple companies, from both western and eastern shores, shift their pipelines to focus on providing software for both the PlayStation Portable and its successor the PlayStation Vita. Despite the latter’s relatively weak hardware sales, there were still successes to be found on the console, which meant that it was easy to plan a future around being a Vita developer.

By 2014, though, it had become clear that Sony was no longer interested in pursuing the handheld market and this left a number of companies in difficulty – they’d either need to adapt to the shifting times, or face dying out altogether. In this article, I’m aiming to look at what happened to developers who made both the PSP and Vita their main focus, how they adapted to the demise of Sony handhelds, what future plans they made, and how well they’re doing in the current gaming market."

The moved to the Switch from Vita. Some of the exact same games or similar games from those developers. Loved the Vita and glad to see those devs still have a platform to release lesser budget fun games.
