Guess I suck more than I thought. But there's a difference between clearing a game and getting an elite pass. The former is actually quite easy, while the latter soon becomes very hard.

They've not said anything about it. They used to do that with PSP games and everyone did just wait for it so sales suffered. They might decide no to bother this time and i wouldn't blame them.
Why are you asking this like it's been practically confirmed or something? Not only has it not been confirmed, but it hasn't even been mentioned that they're considering it or anything. Am I missing something they've said?

I think I got a hang of Wipeout HD after watching a youtube video.
All I did was switch my airbrakes to L1 and R1 and things were better. Also learning to do out-in-out more efficiently.
Can't do it like I do it in Gran Turismo.

yeah, i'm finding it pretty difficult, but i played the crap out of wipeout hd.
Did you mostly play it on the elite difficulty? (Wipeout HD that is.)

I thought I was a bit of a pro at some of these courses, then I realised it has pilot assist turned on - not 'extreme' but the one before that. Turned it off and now I'm a complete disaster.
Yeah, I knew they were running a risk doing that, though it's more Rockstar's fault for starting the whole thing I suspect.

long loadtimes only frustrate me if it has to load the entire goddamn track upon restart. especially frustrating in trial&error based challenges. but if the restart is quick, no problems.
Switching this off is the first thing I'm going to do. Learning curve will be brutal, but worth it in the end.
I'll still suck

Is the japanese version in english, ie menus and stuff?
It doesn't reload the entire track on restart - it does do a little loading but it's 5-7 seconds or so. Certainly more bearable than the 40 seconds or so it takes to initially load the track.

Sorry, what I meant to say was does it have full english support like Uncharted?
I literally have it in my shopping basket, just need confirmation.Thanks.

I need one or two more launch games for my FEB, and I think Wipeout needs to be one of them.
a random gamefaqs messageboard post says yes.
yes. yes, it does.

Has there been any mention on when that load time patch will come out?.

He seems pretty confident that a patch is coming, looks like there are other tweets about it. Hope it's not too far off.

Do we expect this to come to the PS3 at any point? or is this one a Vita title forever, as far as we know?
this is a vita title. they have never said otherwise. i wouldn't expect it to come to ps3 (especially since ps4 is arriving in the next couple years).

I played the demo and thought it was pretty good. If I hold onto my preorder, this is definitely a title I'd recommend and get.
Would you guys tell me not to buy if I said:
1. I didnt like it until trying out cockpit view.
2. But even using this view on Wipeout HD demo, I could not place higher than 8/8 in 4 tries.
Hell is there some kind of xp/money grind system where I can makeup for lack of skill with overpowered car?

There's no grinding or improvement system, it's all skill. And there is a learning curve even on the easiest difficulties (especially with pilot assist off). You'd certainly get better at the game with practice, the campaign in HD makes that pretty easy. Even if you struggle though everything, once you're a few "levels" in, you can go back to the early stuff and breeze through it and see how you've improved.

I don't understand why I suck so much at this game. I loved Pure and Pulse a great deal.
I guess it's just been a while.

The back on the case says "race up to 8 players over wi-fi vs PS Vita or PS3 players"

It has some tracks from the WipeoutHD that support cross-platform multiplayer. It's not really evidence they plan to port 2048. I wouldn't be surprised to see them add the rest of the HD/Fury tracks as DLC to 2048 though.
Well I immediately turned pilot assist off. That isnt how I want to improve. Never had trouble with burnout, NFS, or ridge racer games but i just keep nailing the sides on every turn. First Wipeout I have played sincd original on PSX.
I just need a decent racer damnit. That I dont suck at.
it seems like it starts off much faster than in the previous games. i definitely felt like that too. i've played wipeout hd semi-regularly since it's release though, so i'd say i've gotten a little more over half of the events' elite passes.
make sure you use the airbrakes. also, if you double tap either of the airbrake buttons, it will make your ship move directly sideways a bit. this is especially handy when you're going on a straightaway with a shaped kind of like this:

that way you don't have to actually turn your ship and risk overturning.
Speechless is what I am
Just what is the delio with the framerate in this game? I read the review on thesixthaxis which was pretty glowing but i've also seen mention of framerate issues in the game.
Is it 30fps solid or does it use a dynamic framebuffer w/tearing like HD?
I'm on the fence with this one. I'm planning to go all digital with my Vita going forward but that means making sure I don't get stuck with stuff that will annoy me. I'll buy (pending the loading fix) if the framerate is solid but i'm not getting gypped again like I did with Fury which made the tearing/framerate much worse.
would be good to get a definitive word on this.
thanks

Yea, I actually got both at the time, and ended up playing the PS3 version way more.

It looks a bit like those unpaved parts of the tracks in Wipeout Fusion. That aspect wss one of the few redeeming factors of that game.
Kind of gutted on it only having 5 teams.
I played the demo earlier this week and it is really slick (yep even at 30FPS). I will definitely be getting it on launch. I love everything about Wipeout, the setting, ships, weapons and especially the music. It's just a shame Icarus is missing.
Has there been any hints towards DLC? (It's early days I know).

Didn't they show that in one of the trailers?
Nicely done in that case!
I am really looking forwarding to some OLED zone action, my eyes are going to be in for a royal treat!
I am just holding off pre-ordering it as I won a Vita when Sony came by my office but they didn't know which version of the Vita I would get plus they said they will chuck in a couple of games too, hoping one of them is Wipeout! If not then I am 100% getting it.
Timeline wise it's set before all the other versions of Wipeout therefore there is no Icarus or Harimau either. My two personal favourties.
