Not that I've seen. As far I know, the only way you can watch it right now is to tune into TBS and hope it pops up. I don't know how to watch it in the UK. emoticon

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


Sounds interesting! Wish it was available, but yeah I can only really dig up the original trailer.

If they're actually recoloring obstacles in the middle rounds that likely reaffirms our fear that they're sticking with "theming" as the primary variation.

So we have the Rumble Room last and a similar one to the Poundabout before it? How season 5 of them!

At least the Sweeper Gauntlet/Yule Log thing is two fair obstacles! Is it in the middle of the round? That feels like the most logical placement for a split-path obstacle to me, but for some reason I remember thinking the Big Ball obstacle that wasn't the Big Balls themselves ( emoticon ) in the first trailer was the end of the round. Not sure why, but it felt like it to me!

I guess I can just record the next rerun episode (..when is it?) in order to see the trailer. I'm excited!

I quite liked the Rumble Room but it could have been so much better with more variants of the obstacles and not just relying on the theme and what they threw at them. Also wasn't a huge fan of them just renaming the obstacle every week - the Rumble Room name was never used on screen and they just hid behind the renames each week - the design became more important than the obstacle.

Yeah, the Rumble Room was alright, but definitely got old. I would love to see a season one/two style Rumble Room, meaning probably no changing the name or theme and more focus on changing the stuff inside of it. The obstacles this year don't appear to have the same themes of later Wipeout seasons, but they do appear to have intricate patterns that they probably will focus on more than the obstacle itself.

Seeing as it's very likely we're getting a Poundabout and Total Carnage crossover along with the Rumble Room, I feel like they could be trying to "fix" old obstacles with more variation. I feel like whoever brought these back thought that Total Carnage should have had changing obstacles and that the Rumble Room should have had changing obstacles too.

We've got more course reveals!

https://gyazo.com/45841ba7cb535bedf7354c527afbf5f5

In yet another modified version of the Goodbye 2020 commercial, we see a clip of Nicole Byer in the booth with some middle rounds behind her. From the looks of it, Hangover is back with a checkpoint (so pretty much just the Scareoucel with trapezes). The decision point round has an interesting start. It starts with a return of the ziplines from Petrified Forest. Then it's over some round hurdle things, and then you get to the pool. From here the layout gets pretty confusing but we know the pool has a turntable, yule log + big ball combo, and the Sweeper Gauntlet.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


So we're thinking that is one course across three pools?

Need to see it in action but hope they don't over complicate things.

Judging by the placement of a throwing area for the Black and Blues, my guess is we've got the Hangover remake in the circle pool and the decision point round in the middle/square pool. We can see that the obstacle over that new mud pool is the ziplines from Petrified Forest which leads me to believe that that is in fact the start of the round.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


Alright I'm gonna write an overly long post about everything we know about this round.

I'm saying round because it looks like this is going to span across every middle round pool.

Note: This is as far as I could zoom in on the image.

https://gyazo.com/ccda661da2573a57091832416571e2d8

I'm guessing this was taken around October when filming first began. In that leak, we saw the Sweeper Gauntlet and a sweeper that we can see in the circle pool. We can assume October because of the lack of water in the middle round pools and there being no construction in the zone pool. That leak was actually brought to us because of a third party using the zone pool before construction on the zone began. We also see that the new mud pool hasn't been finished.

Everything here looks awfully close which leads me to believe that the round does span across this entire area. Also, the stairs on what I thought was a throwing area lead me to believe that it's actually the start of the round.

This makes even more sense when you consider that this round has to take up a timeslot twice as long as any of the other middle rounds in the show's past.

Now for the fun part. I'm going to be listing every element that we've seen. I'll specify when I'm speculating due to us not having a clear picture of the obstacle.

Obstacle leading to Hangover, we can see that there is an obstacle leading up to Hangover. However, I have pretty much no idea what it is.

Hangover (Some speculation) - In the Nicole Byer leak, we can see that this is a trapeze segment. We can clearly make out a sweeper as well as what I think is a wiper or a 3 sided sweeper.

Petrified Forest Ziplines (Mostly speculation) - In the mud pool right after what I believe is a ramp from the circle pool leading to this element, we can see 3 tracks hanging above the pool. The only thing I can think of is that they'll have to zipline over the pools.

Bumps - This one simple and I doubt there's anything else to it. It's just circular bumps that they'll probably have to climb over.

Turntable - This is just a simple turntable contestants have to use to get from checkpoint to checkpoint.

Yule Log + Big Ball Combo - This is another somewhat simple one. From the looks of it, you jump onto a Yule Log and then onto a Big Ball.

Sweeper Gauntlet - Unlike the previous iteration of this element used in the FSPSPPB, these blades have 2 sides and only 1 sliding platform.

That's all we've seen in the middle round so far. Lastly, I'd like to touch on what we can make out in the qualifier.

The start - We've got that one with the jumbo sweepers and the one we saw through Google Earth and this new image. I think that the Nutcracker might not be a start and might actually be a regular obstacle. Hooray?

The ordinary path - When we first saw the Google Earth leaks, I assumed it was a 3 part starter. However, we've seen that what I thought was the final obstacle is just a path from the Nutcracker to the next obstacle.

The Poundabout - This gives us more evidence that this is just a Total Carnage and Poundabout crossover. It's probably the round with the swinging yellow bar we saw in our first official footage.

Rumble Room - This obstacle has been pretty much confirmed by the official footage we've seen and there's nothing here to make me think otherwise. The layout of this new Rumble Room includes 2 hurdles, a pusher, a pitchfork or swinging bar, and that smackwall that hits people from behind.

Re: Wipeout 2021 Trailer!


Well if we think back to the original format description in the press releases last year, it mentioned the middle round being a 3-stage thing with multiple strategy and decision points so that, the consistent colour scheme across the 3 areas, and the fact that the mud bit goes between the two pools is a pretty big sign that it's all the one middle round.
 Some really good observations in the posts above but one thing I'd add is the start platform in the circle pool looks like the pain in the ice one - and that would make sense with the man in the trailer who falls under that thickly padded 4-prong sweeper.
