WipeOut HD Hopefully Coming In "Q2"

You can keep your Pixeljunks and your skydivings and your ridiculously-spelled fl0wing. There's only one PSN game I'm interested in. And that's WipeOut HD (OK, that and Everyday Shooter). While previous press material had the game pegged for a Q4 release (nnnoooooooo!), SCEE reps have today said they're actually aiming for a Q2 release (yyyyaaayyyyy!).

Don't Hate WipEout HD Because It's Beautiful

It's been a while since we've had our hands on WipEout HD, but if we ever had a bad thought about it, I wish we could take them all back. It's looking better and better every time the gang in Liverpool dishes out new media. A bit of a WipEout XL junkie back in the day, I simply cannot wait until this shows up on the PlayStation Store for a proper online race. The HD version at GameTrailers certainly does the whole more justice than the one above.

WipeOut HD Features Custom Soundtracks

I know, it's not the first PS3 game to feature custom soundtracks, but this isn't some cheap bowling game we're talking about here. This is WipeOut. A game for whom music played a big, big part in its success back on the PS1. SCEE blog Three Speech sends word that while the game's bundled soundtrack includes appropriate artists such as Kraftwerk, you'll also be able to create custom playlists from any songs you've got stored on your PS3's HDD.

New WipEout HD Screens

A nice little gallery of screens here from WipEout HD which will be gracing the PlayStation Store soon. The game will be presented in full 1080p, running at 60fps and will be made up of reworked tracks from previous WipEout titles. Looks pretty good—although I wonder about the giant panda head with the "X" eyes. It just seems wrong somehow. Make the jump to check out the list of tracks!

Wipeout Pulse Boosts To PSPs

The follow-up to PSP racer Wipeout Pure arrives in North America today, says the official PlayStation blog. Wipeout Pulse—aka wipEout PULSE, if you're a capitalization fetishist—looks to not just toss out a new collection of tracks and pretty lights, it brings proper infrastructure online racing to the PSP, with the promise of downloadable content in the future. Europeans are already enjoying Wipeout Pulse DLC, meaning it can't be too far off.

I just checked the United States version of the PC PlayStation Store and didn't see Pulse turn up. While you wait, make sure to get caught up on the newest Wipeout courtesy of Liverpudlian producer Paul Tweedle's blog.

speculation

WipEout Gonna Wipe Out PlayStation Network?

Whaddaya think? Sony working on WipEout for the PS3? Ha! That would be like Nintendo working on Mario Kart for the Wii. When asked if a PS3 version would be PSN only, Sony's WipEout Game Director Tony Buckley (pictured) said:

I think WipEout in HD would be stonking! And I think, you know, the arcade nature of WipEout, makes it so pick up and playable, so I think it would be brilliant... It's obvious we're doing a WipEout for the PS3 but... well, there will be an announcement in August.

Good on Buckley for being so upfront instead of the standard we-cannot-comment-on-that bull. We couldn't agree more. WipEout in HD would be stonking — on the PSN, even more so. Brian Ashcraft More »

PS3 Wipeout In The Works

The PlayStation 3 is starting to look better and better in my eyes as of late, and no single bit of good news has helped to lift my hopes more than the news that Sony has confirmed that there is indeed a Wipeout game in the works for the next-gen powerhouse.

In an interview with Develop magazine, Sony Liverpool director Clemens Wangerin finally let the cat out the bag—Wipeout PS3 is definitely in development. He said the game would use the Sixaxis controller and would "maybe" feature online and multiplayer content. A Sony spokesperson confirmed the title, and said, "We have nothing to add, but we will be making an announcement with more details in the near future."

Wipeout has long been one of my favorite racing series, and the only thing that could dampen my excitement for a next-gen entry is if that 'maybe' next to the online multiplayer bit slid over to the 'no' column. Tell you what Sony, you give me online multiplayer Wipeout, and I'll start spelling PLAYSTATION 3 in all caps like you want me to, plus I'll stop placing N64 box art in your posts. Deal?

Car-Sized PSP Peripheral

This is the coolest peripheral I've ever seen for a portable. Sure the enormous chair, steel frame, giant desk, twin speakers and movie-screen-sized display may make your Playstation Portable a bit harder to carry around, but man does it make Wipeout Pure a blast to play. More »
