When a developer does just about everything right, as Sony did in this case, the impact on potential purchasers is electric and palpable. Plus, online multiplayer remains intact, with access to two of the three new modes. There’s also a new instant-180 feature, letting you turn your pack-leading ship completely around in a flash to unleash the weapon it’s carrying on unsuspecting followers. This discussion thread does the game far more justice than these quickly-snapped images it suffices to say that Sony put as much time into making the new levels look fantastic as it had with the preceding title.Īnd there have been gameplay additions, as well: an Eliminator mode to rack up as many competitor eliminations as possible, leading to a target score, a Zone Battle mode that forces multiple vehicles to compete to reach a specific target speed first, and Detonator, which turns tracks into shooting galleries with fixed targets and limited ammunition to take them down.
Every texture looks great at its normal distance, and you can switch between multiple in-game and paused camera views to see additional details that enable Wipeout HD Fury to look literally as good or better than the pre-rendered art Sony used to create for past Wipeout games. The new stages follow in their predecessors’ footsteps, offering 60fps smoothness, outstanding design, and a level of detail that is almost invariably staggering. There’s an option to switch back to the prior interface, but after seeing this one, we didn’t want to. You boot up the game and see that the previously clean white and blue interface has been replaced with a grittier black and red version, complete with particle-effect rendered versions of ships, occasional and deliberate out-of-phase images-pop-up boxes shudder like a flickering TV-and edgier music. Second, the Fury expansion pack offers real value, and it’s apparent from moment one.
