Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


I'm probably more excited than I've been so far for this reboot. We know that the start we've been seeing them advertise might not be the one we saw through Google Earth. We know this because the obstacle before the weird trapezoid has no chance of fitting into that spot before the other weird trapezoid thing.

The one issue that we've seen in pretty much every official course leak is that the course looks pretty bad. I know they wanted to update the look, but I'm disappointed by how just plain ugly a lot of it is.

I am excited for the reruns of classic episodes. 1 a week through the local ABC channel just wasn't enough. emoticon

Huh, it doesn't look all that great. emoticon

All they really want to advertise is that one Smackwall and Motivator. Yes, I'm excited by the trailer, but doesn't seem promising.

Curious about the jumbo Sweeper though. The color scheme is so.. much.

I think we need to remember what we loved about Wipeout, rather than what we hated. Yes, we all fear they'll concentrate on the things which were ultimately the shows undoing, but let's wait for them to actually fail before deciding they've failed.


Good to see some footage - yes, it's smackwall heavy and there is nothing new there, but I'm actually liking the colour scheme linking it all together as I think that helped so much with the shows identity in the early years but was lost from around series 4 onwards, and if that continues throughout it'll give the revival series a distinct identity from the original, which I think it important.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


I'm thinking my main issue was I got so excited to see a trailer and then it just looked like a bunch of rerun stuff. I didn't think this would be an amazing revival, but I did expect some original ideas. There do seem to be a couple, but they've done a poor job of showcasing it.

I thought it was just the Rumble Bridge Motivator too - would prefer that over the fifth iteration "Multivator". I hope they give people a chance before moving the Rumble Bridge. I assume they will (and the guy doing a flip at the start is a good indication of that), but we've seen A LOT of that Motivator already.

Also think they've completely missed the boat on style with that preview - it DID NOT scream Wipeout at all to me - slow-motion falls with Christmas music playing in the background. It wouldn't be a real issue if this wasn't their first trailer. That makes it a bit concerning that the style is going to be crucially different throughout.

I agree though that having a universal color scheme is good - even if I'd prefer the original style!

We've yet to see any mud obstacles, by the way...

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


They need to show familar stuff that is quite obviously Wipeout though - and this is just a fun sneak peak for Christmas and IMO a really good promo. Not sure when the series proper airs but doubt it'll be until the Spring at the earlier, but more likely summer.


The Big Balls look proper size too so let's be careful of judging the show based on grainy Google Earth photos and stuff out of context. This promo put the Wipeouts of the contestants, rather than the obstacles, front and centre really. Let's face it even if it is smackwall heavy if it is closer in style to S4 than S7 it still has a chance of being very entertaining. The only thing for me which would kill it at birth is if they continue with the Washout rules in the Zone.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


Yeah, I think it's next Summer.

Maybe I'm being really picky, but I'm just not feeling it yet! One of the first promos I've had so little enthusiasm about, and with a show I like so much. Maybe it's because I was such a fan of the original though emoticon But obviously these are just my first impressions and things could change.

The first few cuts looked good, it's just all the stuff in the middle that looks a bit of a letdown. Looks like a Big Ball to end one of the middle rounds though, in the third clip. That should be fun anyway! emoticon

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


In that new extended cut we saw today during Excuse Wii, we could see most of that new round with the blades. It's got that Yule Log and Big Ball as well as some weird turntable. It's my favorite leak yet. It's nice to see a blend of old and new ideas especially when the new ideas are this wacky.

We could also see the Rumble Room/Shakealator in action. I believe it's that obstacle that ended with stairs in the other commercial. It looks like it has new obstacles. I'd be completely fine with the Rumble Room returning if the obstacles in it switched out week to week. Looking at the new shots, I honestly can't tell if it's the Rumble Room or Shakealator. My guess is the Rumble Room because of that one obstacle that looks very similar to it in the first version of the commercial.

We also see that the Sweeper Gauntlet looks a lot more pink than it was in those leaks we got on Instagram. Maybe they're switching out the coloring of the padding week to week in order to change the theme?

I think the reason we might have assumed the Big Balls were undersized is because of the angle it was at. With all this new footage, we can now see that everything is just really high up.

They also showed an old clip of the Tether Beater in this new commercial. It stuck out like a sore thumb. However, it was an outstanding fall I'd want representing my show.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


I did some more comparing. It is 100% the same obstacle. You can see the hurdle and whatever swings past in the top right of the first version of the commercial. It's one of the last clips. You can also see a circular outline in the second commercial. In the first, you see the extended smackwall.

The fear of one path being unfair and the other being the actual obstacle should be quelled now that we've seen a middle round. It looks like the choice is between the Yule Log Big Ball and the Sweeper Gauntlet.
