Brilliant! Thanks mate, will keep us going whilst we wait for it to be delivered

Demo is now up on PSN

Wow, it's sooooooo good, loading times are a bit long, but it's a superb game, a true return to form for wipeout.

Bugger I can't connect to the jP psn store for some strange reason.... My Internet connection is fine it must be the traffic on the psn site...

Wll keep trying, thanks for posting..

[_Belial]

Keep trying mate, it's well worth it. Shame about loading times, but best wipeout game in years.

Driving me mad, been trying to connect since 6pm and it just not happening...

Hi mate

No I just couldn't connect to the nap store at all last night. Tried again this morning and still nothing.

Can you connect ok?

I hope if it's a capacity problem they improve it for the us and uk release or I will never be able to download any full games...

I will try again tonight when I get home from work

[_Belial]

Ah, I bet it's because you've not done the new system update. When you go on store it'll prompt you (in Japanese) and you can't use store without it.

[bulletproof]

Yep I downloaded the new firmware update the day it came out and looked on the store to see if anything new had been added...

Just got in and now it's loaded straight up and I'm now starting to download it,.. Can't wait

Thanks alot

Despite it jsut being 1 track, and very easy, i just can't stop playing that game!

Ooh btw, i've given up trying to play ridge racer online, i've tried with a HK and a Jap PSN account, neither will let me play. I get some Japanese error about LiveArea then it fails on me

[bulletproof]

Wipeout alone will shift vitas on release day... Amazing game..

Don't give up on ridge racer mate, when you select world race, them middle box, then it will connect to the playstation network in the background.

You should then see guest/owner on the screen, touch the front screen downwards twice and you should see multiple boxes with a magnifying glass next to them select this one. You will then be taken to the room list..

You will then be able to select from all the online games that are joinable...

It's great

[_Belial]

Yeah i've tried that (got to room with lots of faces), but then I get the livearea error, then something else in japanese and takes me back to main page. I saw a couple of forum posts from other people having same problem but no solution

[_Belial]

Wahey, play-asia shipped my wipeout this morning, is yours on it's way mate? Can't wait to try some multi with this.

[bulletproof]

yep mines on its way as well.... what shipping did you use cant wait to play the full game if the demo is anything to go by....

[_Belial]

Fedex, hoping it arrives on Monday. Although just read it has an online pass in the box, so not sure if i really want to activate that on my jap account as when it's launched in uk i'll want to play on my regular account.

Why WipEout looks better on Vita

http://www.ps3attitude.com/new/2012/01/wipeout-vita/

“It’s funny, because on WipEout HD, there was a lot of stuff in that, [which] for some reason wasn’t switched on. It could have been, but we didn’t switch it on. We put it in Vita and it automatically switched on — It just looks so much better than the PS3 version, and when we looked into it, it was like all this stuff wasn’t even enabled on PS3, just like lighting effects and things like that.
The first time we noticed it, we went past this sign. And there was all this light cascading down into the track, and I was like: ‘Has someone just put this in?’ They said ‘No’. We went back and checked it, and when we looked into it, for whatever reason — some tech reasons — it just wasn’t switched on on the PS3.”
