Wipeout HD is hitting the PLAYSTATION Store later this year, and although it’s just a remix of tracks from previous games, there’s a lot to look forward to. In addition to the obviously improved graphics, the game takes a few key features from previous Wipeout titles, and adds a few of its own:
- SIXAXIS support - “Wipeout HD provides full support of the SIXAXIS wireless controller.” Tilt-ready racing, perhaps?
- Mag-Strips - From the upcoming Wipeout Pulse game on PSP, this feature allows players to defy gravity through tracks that feature loops, vertical drops, and 90 degree sections.
- Teams - Like any Wipeout game, this iteration features eight teams from Wipeout Pulse.
- Seven Race Modes, including Zone - Single Race, Tournament, Time Trial, Speed Lap, Zone Mode, Elimination and Head-2-Head. Zone Mode, from Wipeout Pure, will make your craft go progressively faster throughout a race until your ship explodes. It’s one of the best additions to the franchise in recent memory.
- Three New Weapons - The Repulser, Shuriken and Leach Beam.
- Photo Mode - Like Wipeout Pulse, players will be able to take screenshots from within the game.
- 8 Eight Player Online Multiplayer - With “Team vs Team” mode, which allows teams of two to compete in larger races.
- Community Website - Lets players create their own profiles and see stats and data for other players.
- Downloadable Content - The game will continue to expand through more downloadable packs.
- Music - Nine fully-licensed music tracks, remixed in 5.1.
Expect Wipeout HD to hit the Store later this year. Until then, check out our new screenshots.
