Wipeout HD finally sees the light of day tomorrow when it will be available for download from the Playstation Store (NOTE: there won’t be a Blu-ray version). It costs £11.99 in the UK and $19.99 in the US. Here’s a feature list:
- 1080p (full HD) visuals at 60fps
- 5 Game Modes – Single Race, Tournament, Time Trial, Speed Lap and Zone Mode
- 8 reversible tracks and 12 teams
- Online play (up to 8 people in a race)
- 2-player split screen (horizontally and vertically) offline
- Optional use of SIXAXIS motion controls for steering you lovely little craft
The 8 tracks consist of 6 from Wipeout Pure and 2 from Wipeout Pulse so don’t expect any new tracks. Thankfully the SIXAXIS motion controls are optional as SIXAXIS is, well, just rubbish.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to play this till the weekend as I’m currently TV-less, and have been some a few weeks now. My new, super- dupa full HD, 46 inch monster doesn’t arrive till Sunday. Boo.


I’m having trouble getting pumped up about wipeout. WoW Lich King is due in stores in just over a month. I’m surprised you haven’t talked about that yet. Maybe a good topic for a future post?
I know what you mean Warcraft Addict, I’m really looking forward to Lich King too (I’ve posted about it on my blog), however I think there’s also time to take a look at Wipeout, especially when like me you may not have played the last few version of it.
