WipEout HD Fury Expansion Pack Details


Posted by Daimion Pinnock // Producer, SCEA
Hi everyone! This is Daimion Pinnock, Producer for WipEout HD, back to introduce Game Director Tony Buckley. He’s here to tell you about a brand new expansion pack for WipEout HD, as well as its first showing this week at E3!
Hello everybody,
I’m Tony Buckley, Game Director for WipEout HD and I’m pleased to announce that the team here at Studio Liverpool have been busy working on a new expansion pack for your favourite anti-gravity racer.
And what’s more, it is set to be given its first public showing at this week’s E3 expo, so if you’re lucky enough to be attending, make sure you stop by and try it out!

The WipEout HD Fury expansion pack will increase the content of your current game with 8 new tracks, 13 new ship models and 3 new game modes, 2 of which will be available for online play! In addition there will be new trophies to attain, a re-styled front-end and a selection of new & improved multiplayer functionality!
The Eliminator game mode will allow you to release all that pent-up aggression as you use the full arsenal of Wipeout weaponry to destroy your opponents. Forget those racing lines; this is all about destruction, with the victor being the first to reach the target score!
Zone Battle is about risk and reward! Acceleration is automatic as you swoop over zone pads to fill your zone bar. Your choice is whether to use the bar to increase your speed and boost your ship ever closer to the target zone or absorb it to replenish vital lost energy. Warning, avoid the ‘zone barriers’, obstacles left on the track by your opponents as they boost towards the target zone, hitting these can literally destroy your hopes of victory!
Our Detonator mode introduces a brand new ship model to the game that will test both your piloting skills and your shooting accuracy as you accelerate through as many as 14 stages. Score points by destroying the mines that have been strewn along the track and take out the bomb on each stage to earn additional points. The more accurate you are the more points and bonuses you will score!
Just like the original WipEout HD, all the new content will be released in glorious 1080p resolution and will run at a smooth 60fps.
Take a sneak peek at the track and ship visuals in our WipEout HD Fury trailer and selection of screenshots.
Remember, Wipeout HD is available exclusively from PlayStation Store so check it out in readiness for the release of the Fury expansion pack coming this summer!



This is an amazing DLC for an amazing game. I was trying to find an official thread for WipEout in this forum, the best I could find was this one: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=110763&highlight=wipeout. Unfortunately, it's not used since 2008. I think this new DLC deserved a new thread.

I call now every wip'Eout'' player here, this is the future.

Awesome news, thanks Aero. I still play online 3-4 times a week. Can't wait, looks like great fun.
 
Looking forward to it... I will only pay £3 or £4 max for the DLC though. The whole game only cost £12, so any more than say £4, and they will be extracting urine!
 
Well the update is the same size as the original game. If you think that is worth 3-4 quid I think it is you who are extracting the urine!

Alright you got me, £5 max! :sly:
