WipEout HD Fury out this week

By Mike Jackson for computerandvideogames.com

SCEA has confirmed that the WipEout HD Fury expansion pack will be on the PlayStation Store this Thursday, July 23, for £7.99.

Exclusive: WipEout HD race one

2:39 It's so smooth...

Watch tons of other game videos in HD over on our video channel!

And it'll surely be worth every penny because, as WO HD programmer Zico Liu explains, the update will "provide three new race types - Eliminator, Zone Battle and Detonator, 12 new tracks, 13 new ships, 6 new music tracks, a redesigned menu system, a new campaign to complete as well a host of new trophies to win. Oh and let's not forget the additional ranks for you to achieve online."

Plenty in there to be getting on with then (if you've managed to complete this insanely tough game in the first place).

    Now That's what I call an update.

    Doesn't Fury have more content than the original game? If the 12 new tracks info is correct, then yes.

    Superb.

    8 sounds about right...

    Still amazing value for money, when you consider the price of the original download...

    Wipeout HD is one of the most polished games I have played in a long long time...

    ...wipeout HD gets forgotten about......its part of the problem of being a download game...when looking amongst my ps3 games to decide what to play, i always forget about wipeout HD...its one of the better ps3 games as well.

    will be getting this without a doubt. considering i paid £12 for the original then with this HUGE expansion the entire game will still be a few penny's shy of £20.

    name me another release game that is this much value for money

    ...i reckon UT3 and wipeout HD are the 2 most underrated ps3 games...

    UT3's DLC was pretty good but for a game that you can download in the first place to have this much DLC is impressive...

    I know that that course is real pain on the hardest levels, but whoever is driving in that clip can't play for sh*t!

    As to Wipeout HD - some proper old school one-last-go snapping-your-pad-in-half gaming there.

    Yeah. This is one game i am envious of the PS3 crowd for. Really looking forward to getting this, once the PS3 comes down in price. Still really like 2097.

    I must also say that that is awesome value for money, too. Only the horse armour beats this for VFM. Heh heh.
