Installing the hefty 700MB download instantly changes the game. Some of the new stuff will be familiar from Pulse and Pure on the PSP, but blazing from a decent-sized LCD, it's meadow fresh. What we actually get is an honest-to-goodness expansion, a suite of three new game modes that transform and evolve the core WipEout experience in major ways. You'd be forgiven for expecting the usual track pack, with a few new vehicle skins sprinkled on top. The Fury add-on has a lot to prove, not only maintaining the high standard of its parent but justifying its price, which, standing at a big and scary £7.99, is almost equal to what the full game costs. The lush visuals are nothing new, however, and we are gathered here today, dearly beloveds, to consider the game's first salvo of downloadable content. Even hours into a prolonged session, there are moments where you're distracted by some particularly lovely moment - some gracefully detailed track curve thrown past you at eye-watering speed that makes you sigh inwardly and wonder why all games can't look this good.
Wipeout hd fury cost 1080p#
1080p resolution and 60fps should be the rule, not the exception, and returning to Sony Liverpool's ferocious future racer it still retains its power to impress. It's rather disheartening that almost a year after its release, WipEout HD is still the only game properly delivering on the glittering promise of the high-def generation.
