WipEout HD is the first entry in the series on the Playstation 3. The game is largely a high-definition remake of past elements from the WipEout series, including tracks and teams from the Playstation Portable games, WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse, whilst adding some new features to the franchise. The high-definition upgrade allows the game to render graphics output at 1080p resolution with a frame rate of 60 fps. My role on WipEout HD was ship artist, seeing the ingame assets through from creation to their final ingame state.
With WipEout HD being a remake of previous Playstation Portable games, our art breif was to 'res up' the existing ships. We had to take the existing ship designs from WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse, and stick very closely to the originals, we did have some some design scope, but the finished HD ship had to look familiar to a player that will have seen the PsP version.

I recently had the chance to play this game at a friend's place and it looked damn neat! the racers really look like picked from the PSP games regarding their design, the high res adaptation is perfect in my opinion
