  • Fucking disgusting. The fact that nobody at Sony even thought to speak up about it before it went live is even more disgusting.

    "The gaming community has spoken, and they listened."

    Must have been a short listening because they're back again.

  • so i wanted to see that video at the end - as i am to see another great performance and you, youFUCKINGtube sellers, self-ass-sold bitches putted me in the middle of the ass of the shit of your suckin advertising. yes, i'm from russia and i LOVE DT because they are genius. no, what, you think i'm another idiot that believe what he see in your motherfucking advertising? no, i'm not! you understand you idiots? you betrayed all good people that came here. youtube is goona be crap 'cause of you..

  • FUCKING HONDA ADS.

  • Still plays ads. I never want to see a Honda commercial again.

  • im still gettings ads, it sucks balls man, honda ads now its pissing me off

  • man, i knew this was coming *sad face*, but i didnt know it was already like this because many game dont force you to watch/listen to an ad during the loading screen. Everyone get ready to be bombarded with advertising in your video games because unless someone says something its going to get worse before you know it.

  • these ads are back. this game is unplayable until i find a way to remove this shiz.

  • My dad just got the game yesterday and there were ads in the loading screen

  • I got it for the Welcome Back thing and saw a goddamn ad for the honda civic and literally said "what" out loud

  • They're back

  • The ads have been added back in the loading screens, now it's with that stupid megamind movie :@ rageeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • The ads haven't been pulled, I just got my first, it was a car ad.

    I'm so confused... I paid for the game... see intrusive ads... but... I paid... for it...

    Shame, I really liked this company but I won't be supporting them any longer, nor playing this game. Too bad I can't get a refund.

  • Funny that, I just updated to v2.2 today and got a 'Lynx' advert during the loading, so the ads hare NOT gone!

  • I have never experienced wipout hd or hd fury with advertising. When was it added and removed?

  • Shame the ads are back again -_-

  • The real estate in my brain is much too important to me to allow commercial advertisement to pollute it.

  • Osc-Sync Carnival is not appropriate Zone mode music lol

  • It's not like wipeout didnt had ads in the past, but those still ads and slogans for redbull for wipeoutxl were far less intrusive than these. thank god they removed them

  • I would rather pay ten extra dollars not to have Mel gibson or Rocky in my face every second race. For the last two months, braveheart and rocky on bluray are the only commercials, and in German since i live there now. It is enough to quite playing if that continues... depressing!

  • This could also backfire on you. Sony and other companies may turn around and say "Well since you guys don't like in game ads we need to make up that money somewhere else, so we're going to raise game prices another ten bucks".

  • Damn fuckin ads

  • Good job video creator for helping to stop Sony from going ahead with this ad bullshit. Sony, I won't be buying your new PS3 slim if I know I have to sit through ads on it.

  • The ads are removed.

  • This is the only game that I know of that had ads. In fact, there are almost no ads on the playstation network, despite it being a free service. From my experience, there are much more ads on XBL, even though you pay 50$ a year for it.

  • The thing is, i don't really mind ads in games. I never really saw the big deal. If ads mean the makers of wipeout bring more cash in to fund future projects, thats great. Although the extra 10 seconds is a bit much.

    Maybe a video stream of the ad on a billboard inside the game would be more reasonable. And it would add more realism of the game.

    glad they took the loading screen ad out though

  • This sort of thing is just wong ......End of.

    I dont really mind ads ......But when it effects the actuall performance of the games themselves (as this video proves) its simply not on.....

    So pleased people power won at the end of the day.....

    As gamers we should all stand up against this sort of thing......

    We shouldnt except this sort of thing.......

    By all means use ads (on billbords,sponsers etc) .........But dont break the games in the process....

  • I guess as someone who deals with ads all the time watching tv ep reruns online, this doesn't surprise me in the least, or seem like such a big deal..that, and I remember some hefty load times from PS2 games (and that was JUST the game).

    if I can suck it up and deal with 30 seconds to a minute of a KY ad online, I can deal with a few extra seconds in my game loads.

    its extra time to run for a drink anyway, right?

  • that music is from F-Zero GX WTF!

  • HOLY SHIT THAT WAS F ZERO GX MUSIC! You just relived my nostalgia for an amazing racer.

  • yeah! i recognized that too from a mile away! that game was awesome, right? but is that music really in this game?

  • The ads have only been removed until Sony assess the situation... I WON'T BE BUYING THIS ADD-ON! I don't buy a game for a greedy corporation to scam me...

  • If they're insistent on adds, have two versions. Current standard price, or a cheaper price with ads and long load times. Let the consumer decide.

    Adding content after the fact is a joke. Glad its been pulled for now.

    I'm still on the fence about getting a PS3, and now I'll wait a bit longer.

  • That'll just provide an excuse for charging extra for "premium" versions of games that are ad-free. There shouldn't be any invasive ads in games that cost over $60, that is ridiculous. I simply refuse to pay for games that have ads in them, ruins the content.

  • They took the adds off to let everyone know

  • Dosen't Sony earn enough only from the PS3 sales? Good that they removed the ads. Now, YouTube, do the same!

  • lol? sony makes horrible losses thanks to ps3.

  • Without advertisements Youtube would cease to exist dumbass.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol.

    Why do you think Playstation Online service is free?

    And how do you think does Sony need to finance this?

    MS takes a monthly fee = no ads.

    And the best thing is: how do you expect youtube to make any money without ads? Lol, lol.

  • Another feed for a troll:

    Haven't seen any ads in any PS games or PSN, if PS3 and PSP games dosen't count. Really, many websites do fine only by donations or less. Why would this be different?

    Also, YT would be doing fine without the ads on videos that you need to close. 1 little ad dosen't add up money enough to be crucial.

    Though, metacafe went too far with that ad space...

    And for last; it was simply an opinion, not a matter of life and death. Just chill :D

  • Sorry to burst your bubble nfoo, but MS sells ads across the dashboard and throughout its games. It's not necessarily a bad thing though. Games are getting more and more expensive to make so advertising can offset those costs to stop them all being passed onto the consumer.

  • Actually, there ARE ads on X-Box LIVE.

  • Not a problem in XBL. JUST SAYING! NOT A FANBOY!!

  • Sony has become really arrogant about their position in gaming and it's killing them. It's like they learned nothing from the Walkman vs. the iPod. Remember Sony building DRM encumbered MP3 players while Apple ate more and more of their lunch? Customers voted with their dollars and now basically all music online is DRM free. It's going to be the same with in-game advertising, so cast your vote.

  • Just another reason why I wont touch anything with the Sony brand name, they refuse to understand that when I hand them money for something, their involvement is OVER. Funny thing, when my PS2 crapped out at 100 days, they sure didn't want to be involved. Fuck them, I hope Sony dies a horrible death.

  • Cool, greed at its finest. :)

    Next stage: Check the code in your (place here any junk food), get 5 and you can play the stage 2. Get 10 and you can play stage 3... nice! :P

  • yea seriously if the game was free, then fine, playing ads is acceptable.

    but if your paying for something there shouldnt be ads.

    its bad enough that they put ads on tv, i mean its not like its free or anything.

  • I didn´t pay for this bullshit!

  • Power to the people!

    Fuck advertising in media you've already PAID FOR!!!

  • Well, at least this software update doesn't FUBAR your system, like Sony/BMG's DRM software once did.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll say again, try it for yourself. Load a Zone event on Syncopia. It takes about 5 seconds, and the progress bar doesn't reach the end, even on a stock 5400RPM drive.

  • Err, both versions are loading the same map...

  • How can he show it way worst than it is if that how it fuc*ing is? Do you understand what you are saying? What does it matter aboyut what drive he is using as long as it's actually by how much his loading time is affected? ffs

  • The faster RPM hard-drives improves load times

    he has a faster 7200RPM drive which he put in himself vs the 5400RPM which comes default with PS3

    The load time of zone Syncopia is the fastest loading map when put in comparison to advertising of other maps its barely noticeable

    I do not like advertising and i'm glad its removed but the XBOTS had a field day with this news

  • WoW suckers like you could fail at anything. its the xbots you dumbass or you giving the green light for ads like this that affect practically gaming in that manner to go ahead and abuse payed for products? Take the wand out of ur a*s and think like a man for a sec and not like the actual bot. A brain should be capable to think better than that unless ur not even 17. If so then you are excussed I guess...

  • you totally ignored the 7200RPM vs 5400RPM because you had no idea WTF you were talking about there but okay

    This news was blown out of proportion, look at N4G, shacknews and other sites making it seem like the end of the world with this and we've had ingame advertising for ages in EA games

    and again the comparisons here show the fastest loading map vs advertising which isn't always shown, i'm glad the advertising is removed but disappointed with how blown up this shit became

  • I have perfectly fine idea of what im talking about. I didnt expect consoles to learn about HDD or anything related and its not why I own 2Velociraptors for primary HDD in order to have 10K RPM in my PC on raid. I was just clarifying like i'll do again that you are a sucker. Simple as that and happy holidays lol.

  • kdarkov i can tell you dont own a ps3 cause wipeout hd is download only from psn, plus i dont know anyone who actually supports ad's in games especially ones that slow down the games loading times

  • exactly..dont listen to any idiots on here who dont know what they are even talking about. The game is great. And the 10 sec extra loading wasnt that BIG of a problem anyway but still glad they are fixing it! The ads I saw in the game were fine with me..they were advertising Wipeout Fury HD, which makes sense.

  • You forget the bandwidth, Sony charges for it, why should they impose us to waste our?

  • 1st party developers from what i understand don't pay that bandwidth cost

    studio liverpool are 1st party so that bandwidth fee on developers shouldn't apply to them

    the patch should have been optional because the original wipeout HD still has it

  • That music is fron F-Zero GX. It's cool.

  • It is very obvious that the first 90% of the loading bar is the actual game loading, and the last 10% is the duration time for the ad.

    Very shitty, glad it was removed!

  • Exactly.

  • That shitty game is worth a dick! and on top of that ,we have to wait so long?.Sony is a junk.The only thing I liked in this vid is the soundtrack which belongs to F-Zero GX xD

  • They wouldn't have complained if the game shipped like that. But if you have a game that you enjoy plaing, and they alter it with a forced update to make it worse, then you've got a right to complain.

  • Also don't forget that it's not even the "Install this update or you'll be signed out of PSN" kind of update, this was stealth loaded in the background without your consent. Sony did the right thing by pulling them.

  • If they want us to watch ads, they must give us something for it. Like the free DLC. Anyway, I think in Europe it's illegal. That's why I didn't get any ads while playing.

  • glad they have been took out , what a pain in the backside they were .

  • What the.. that soundtrack is from F-Zero GX

  • Woah... there aren't any shadows for those hover cars.

  • This is the kind of stunt i expect EA to pull. AND THEY DO. If you dont believe me pay more attention to games like NFS Prostreet and Burnout Paradise

  • Comment removed

  • Wow that sucks! Making you wait even longer to play for some dumb ad. Happy it is gone now.

  • you didn't tell me you had a youtube account bruce!

  • Good thing the ads are gone

  • thanks so much for posting that! I was wondering what all the fuss was about and now I understand. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. power of the internet eh!

  • Thanks for posting this. good to see people standing up for themselves against this type of garbage.

  • I've only recently learned of the news, and had to see for myself. No ads! I've updated my sidebar comment and added new message bubbles to the video to reflect that.

    I'm VERY happy that I decided to make this video. Thanks for the support, everyone!

  • The power of the information age at its best. So many years ago when the first Wipeout dropped, if this had happened then, we'd be powerless to do anything about it.

  • Assuming you have Fury, load a Racebox Zone event on Syncopia. 5 seconds to load. The progress bar for that track jumps on me every time. That's what was used for the comparison.

  • Except when I start a Zone run on Syncopia I get the exact same timing that he does.

  • Nothing is better than F-Zero GX. I liked it much more than X and Wipeout

  • Sony has already pulled this from the game. You should update the info to reflect that.

  • YAY ADS ARE GONE

  • Sony sucks on that.

  • We all have to send email or regular mail to the advertisers/Sony, saying we will not support there products if they invade our gaming. I buy games i want to play, i don't buy them for watching advertisements and I'm tired of the advertising industry deciding they have free rain over whatever product we buy to ad advertisements. This is also true for Sony sense they are making the money directly by allowing advertisers to invade our gaming

  • Only stupid gringos tolerate (and many times enjoy) this. You got what you deserve fools !!!!

  • Why is the sound COPIED from nintendo F-zero GX(was bad on some sides,but better than this game)

  • I guess he's using a custom soundtrack option or something. F-Zero GX was awesome, and so was the soundtrack :)

  • Bang to rights! Well in my son!

  • stupid sony, why pay for this shit.

  • Fight night round 3 was a perfect example of in-game advertising gone wrong - Burger King anyone??

  • Man, what the hell?! This is bad.

    I really don't like where a lot of things are headed in terms of digital media.

  • Like a good neighbor, State Farm is ruining your video games. :P

  • Sony just confirmed that the ads will be removed

  • Yup I read that as well

  • Very nice comparison video. Props!

  • i never got the ad. but i wud be pissed if i did i paid for this shit, this aint no freebee.

  • stupid sony! and we pay 4 this shit ??!!

  • I can understand advertising in a game like Wipeout, but this is ridiculous. They did it right with the Puma/Coke tracks on the PSP.

  • this is totally gay

  • !! The Music is from F-Zero!!

  • Yup, the only way to play Wipeout is with the awesome F-Zero tracks in the background. I can also recommend playing with Corneria (from the StarFox games) blasting out of your speakers.

  • They got rid of the ads for the time being.

  • I can't think of a single fucking reason why this would be acceptable. Not one. This is a PAID expansion piece of software released at a "premium" price point and you're playing OFFLINE content on top of it. This some repugnant shit.

    I'm not gonna lie to you though, the music is sick ;p

  • That's strange, my race has never started without the progress bar reaching 100 percent.

  • In game advertising doesn't bother me as long it doesn't interfere with the gameplay as this is the case.

    They should just replace the ads with shorter ads that fit in with the load times.

  • I have to agree with you 100% Ryaldeco.

    I paid for the game and the expansion pack.

    Games should only ever have ads in them if....

    1) They are FREE games and use advertizments to fund production.

    2) If they give you a massive discount on buying the game. Eg, $5 for WipeoutHD if it contains advertisements.

    They are total fuckheads.

  • I don't think you understand what HD means.

  • hahahaha you've never played this game aren't you?

    This game is great looking. But this is the first zone in the zone event. If you look some video's on youtube, you will see that it is better looking than every other game!

    Ow and the Ads in the game are removed now!

  • play this on a 55" TV, its visuals shit all over anything you can think of

  • Ahh narrow minded idiots. - the internet would be less amusing without your "contributions"

    Jog on my son.

  • For those of you claiming you refuse to buy this game now - shame on you, you're part of the problem.

  • they should instead make the ad video play on the billboard in the game. that way it wont affect the load time.

  • Hey all, I just wanted to clear something up, particularly for the people thinking the video has been 'doctored'. This capture comparison is from a Zone event, which loads much faster than a regular race. I chose the shortest loading track I could think of to make this. Try it. Zone on Syncopia. I promise, mine loads in about 5 seconds from a cold boot. In other events, the difference could be as little as 3 or 4 seconds. I'll have a new video up later this morning showing other events.

  • can you get a refund? try and return the title.. it's not what you bought..

  • Yes, get a refund by RETURNING A DOWNLOADABLE TITLE... FFS at least be educated on what you're going to comment on before hitting "Post Comment"... Why is YouTube so full of mouthbreathers?

  • I'd rather be a mouthbreather than an ass breeder...

    this is something that hasn't been done before, returning digital goods, I just think it would be interesting to see how sony dealt with it, jerk.

  • S H A M E. It's not a free flash game...

  • F-Zero GX soundtrack ftw

  • lets rape a game for money. Yes!

  • I paid for this game. Now I am sent adds that slow it down. BS

  • Great game. Shit advertising.

  • So the ads will falsely increase the loading time until it finishes. That's not cool at all. Shame on Double Fusion.

  • Oh thats bad, hope they will remove it later. i've purchased australia version of fury, theres no ad while loading

  • Looks like the progress just goes at a steady rate to use up the rest of the progress bar...

    I wouldn't mind the ads so much online... XBox charges me $10 a month to see their ads. But inside of a game is unforgivable...

  • XBL is around $4/mo btw.

  • I was on the fence about the title, but now I'm just gonna kick it down and move to the next town over.

  • This will still be the first downloadable PSN game that I plan to buy whenever I get a PS3.

  • sucks

  • Wow, this is starting to look like the Xbox 360 dashboard lol

  • I'd be looking in to a class action lawsuit. Somebody needs to nip this in the bud before it starts cropping up in all new games. They need to pay more than they make or this will get out of control fast.

  • the song reminds me of fzero

  • Wow, that really sucks. One of the games I've been planning on getting once I finally get a PS3, and now you get in-game advertisements. That's messed up.

    Still, I couldn't help but smile once the theme from Lightning in F-Zero GX started up. Great game to pull custom tracks from!

  • Wow I was just about to get into Wipeout HD again since I've put it up for the last month but this is absolute shit. I was going to get the Fury expansion but I'd rather delete the game off my hdd then this. I always thought ingame advertising would work great in this day and age but if its killing load times then its ridiculous.

  • i dont mind billboards in game but this is like kidnapping you for six months to look at ads then releasing you in front a store with a credit card.. kinda kills it

  • even in offline mode?

    this is fucked up

  • sucks!

  • Shib stfu... If you had spent money on this you would be pissed off too. its crap.. Complete and 100% crap. And Sony is , once again, doing something 100% retarded. I feel bad for you Sony users as well. This is out right BS no matter what system you own.

  • I'm almost pissed I bought this game a few weeks ago now. Throwing in ads sucks already, making the loading screen longer to force an on you can fuck right off.

  • Dam Sony really fucked you guys over.

  • I feel burned. I jsut bought this game and there is no way in hell I would have if I knew this crap was incoming. Total bullshit. This is the last anything I will buy on PSN for a loooong time.

  • I wouldn't call it over-reacting... this is a case of "call-it-now-before-this-stuff­-gets-out-of-control-and-becom­es-industry-standard". Plus people bought the game prior ad-less, and then all of a sudden, a purchased title embeds video ads that disrupt loading times... bad move Sony.

  • At least the REDBULL ads way in the beginning semi-worked with the techno theme - this recent stroke of Sony genius is just so so so stupidly ugly and obtrusive - A big F for you Sony - YOU SUCK.

  • Yeah blame Sony because it was totally their idea. Couldn't possibly have been Studio Liverpool's. Nope.

  • So what happens when you're online and someone else gets the ad but you don't? Presumably you'd have to wait on your end for their ad to finish and for them to load into the game, even if you didn't have to sit through the commercial. If that's the case then you could potentially be feeling the effects every single time, depending on others in your lobby receiving the ad.

  • I bought WoHD before this was part of it. I feel like I've been bait & switched. I'm refusing the update until they drop this crap, and never even touching Fury.

  • and the best part is, some people bought the game BEFORE the update that brought in the ads, essentially being TRICKED into a clear case of bait and switch. FRAUD!

  • I agree.

    This is complete bullshit.

  • It's not so great when someone else is ejaculating on your face, is it?

  • On a side note, I probably should have beaten off Zico earlier.

  • Sounds like you haven't played the Fury expansion. The load times are extremely fast because there are almost no textures to speak of in those levels, just contrasting colours.

  • Please don't turn into Microsoft, Sony! Don't put paid ads in products people already paid for!

  • don't take this!!

    Don't buy the game unless they fix this. We control the market, not them!

  • Agreed, this is complete bullshit.

  • thats fucked!!

    we dont buy games to see ads! as someone else said... this should be limited to FREE games. not full priced games. there is NO WAY i'm buying their crappy addon now! both sony and ms are crap for going down this path! if only the wii was a decent console, i'd put my ps3 and 360 to the side and play the wii.

    i just cant beleive these assholes are selling out so much.

    ads on the dash of a 360 even for PAYING gold members and now ads slowing down the loading of a ps3 game WTF!!??

  • HAHA, F-Zero GX soundtrack in Wipeout, brilliant!!! I can't wait to do that to my Wipeout as soon as I get home.

  • What the HELL? I'm ashamed I even gave those assholes my cash.

  • That's just great. What's with the recent influx of bullshitmentising? First Xbox dashboard, now this...

  • This is the most heinous shit a dev has pulled in a while. What the fuck is wrong with you Sony?

  • Wow, that's bullshit.

    They've got no excuse for this.

  • I just bought wipeout HD. Was going to get Fury. Not anymore! You are SUPPOSED to make games for GAMERS! Not advertisers!!! >:o

  • It makes me sick that they put advertisements in a video game program that you PAY for.

    I expect this in freeware/free online games, but when you BUY a video game, you shouldn't expect this kind of shit.

  • I haven't seen any ads yet. Maybe cause I'm not in the US? Wouldn't mind advertisements during loading as long as they don't increase loading times. 10 seconds is bullshit, though.

  • they should sell an ad-infused version for cheaper prices, ads should be OPTIONAL sony.

    damn, Wipeout HD is such a badass game :(
