Wipeout HD expansion - 8 tracks, 3 modes, 13 ship models - now with trailer

[duckman2000]

E3 won by Studio Liverpool

    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!

Killer.

I hope it's not all advanced shit for the Wipeout Gods.  The game is too hard as is.

I hope the Eliminator mode lets you fire off quake disruptors in the opposite direction. That was one of the cheekiest thing you could do to an opponent in Wip3out. That, and dropping mines right at the pit entrance.

What's so difficult about it? I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be, but the basics stick once you learn it.

It's better post-patch, but it still gets too hard a bit too quickly for my enjoyment.

ELIMINATOR!!!!!1 YESSSSS!!1

The other two modes sounds fucking interesting too. I'm SOLD!

The modes sound neat, but I'd be alright with just new tracks. Needs more Wip3out tracks, though.
