Wipeout HD [PSN]

[Arwin]

Featuring a selection of the best tracks from previous Wipeout games, the next addition to the series, Wipeout HD, will be available from the PlayStation Store and will run at 60 frames per second at full 1080p resolution. We’ve got our hands on some more information about the upcoming game, as well as five new screenshots.

* SIXAXIS support: use the motion sensitivity to control your anti gravity ship.
* Tracks: a selection of the most popular tracks from previous Wipeout games.
* Mag-Strips: the game will include the new feature from Wipeout Pulse (PSP) which temporarily causes your ship to be locked onto the track surface.
* Race Modes: there will be seven race modes - Single Race, Tournament, Time Trial, Speed Lap, Zone Mode, Elimination and Head-2-Head.
* Race Campaign: featuring a set of pre-defined race events for the player to battle through.
* New Weapons: The Repulser, Shuriken and and Leach Beam.
* Photo Mode: much like GT5 Prologue and Wipeout Pulse, you’ll be able to take screenshots in game and save them to your PS3’s hard drive.
* Online Multi-player: up to 8 players online, with the option of a “Team vs Team” mode.
* Community: a purpose built website where players build profiles containing stats, to compare with friends.
* Downloadable Content: the game will be expanded via downloadable packs on the PSN.

Ooh! Ooh!

And Sixaxis support, man, I never thought about it before but I can see why they put this at the top of the feature list, because if ever a game's controls were made for the sixaxis! The left and right airbrakes, the balancing and tilting of the craft, ooh, can't wait!

Some new screenshots here too:

Is Greece supported?

 

[Angelcurio]

The word "RUMOUR" should be removed from the thread title.

I would prefer to get this game from the PSN store than from Blue-Ray disc, but until they decide to release the PSN cards on the states i will be out of the loop.

I can't use my card from Ukraine, for example.

Simpy because Ukraine not even in country drop-list.

I tried but I cant. My credit card details must relate to the supported countries. PSN doesnt even show up if I give the right details. I have to give fake details to be able to go to PSN. And once I do that, I ll be ale to download demos etc but I wont be able to buy anything since my credit card details do not relate with the country I used in my PSN account details

Have you tried importing EU prepaid cards? That should work. If you have someone you trust to buy them then they could just email you the codes.

Just make new PS3 user with USA account and you can pay with your embossed credit card, but address must be real (i heard Beverly Hills, LA, California, 90210 is popular one).

Yes. I downloaded Warhawk from US store just fine (our lame Sony Czech working on localisation of PS Store for over half year now and still is their "highest" priority).
I don`t know how your bank handle payment in foreign currency, but you can try (there is no risk imo).

There was probably a data corruption of some sort.

So Wipeout lost the photo-mode, player profile and community website, and some aspects of online MP. Wonder if these can be downloaded later?
