New WipEout at E3?
Or at least twitter seems to suggest there will be.Published 28/05/2009 at 15:00 by CaptainMurdo

Twitter is a wonderful thing, at least for most of us, and it has recently spurred on rumours of a new WipEout. This tweet, from ButtonMasherNZ, hints at a new WipEout called Ultimate Racing. What they aren’t sure about is whether it’s an entirely new game or exciting new DLC. We haven’t seen or heard anything official about a new WipEout for almost a year and, with E3 coming next month, now would be a prime time for an announcement even if it is just some DLC.
Could this be Cohort Studios mysterious game? They do have a few members from the original WipEout. 20 of you also thought E3 would reveal a new WipEout for the PSP and Alex and Peter agreed, strangely. One last thing to add to the speculation is our past rumour about another WipEout to be released around the 12th of June. What do you think? DLC, game or poppycock?

Yeah, if they just keep expanding on HD with sensibly-priced add ons, that’ll keep me happy for a while. Perhaps give us another, say, two pairs of tracks as DLC then look at releasing a proper sequel in about 18 months.

I am hoping for DLC for the PSN Wipeout. If it adds more tracks etc then i am sold. With the patch coming out a few weeks ago it could have laid the groundwork for future online tournaments around DLC.
The next proper Wipeout should be a Blu-Ray title with all new tracks etc, not sure if that will be revealed at E3, Sony would have leaked something by now!

I hope its an all new title. You know what pisses me off about Sony is they seem to abandon what got them to the dance to begin with. WipeOut had what, 3 PS1 titles, then the PS2 gets 1 and the PS3 gets a rehash of the PSP titles ? Come on, seriously ? What happened to Destruction Derby? I loved that game as I did “Jump”…. oh well… a game as cool as WipeOut is should get a lot better treatment than it gets, this should be an AAA title

I’m with you on the DD front. although not the stupid cartoony re-make they did, that was awful. back to the oldschool realism and insane smashes. especially the bowl levels. they were awesome.

Surely a true next-gen WipEout is on the cards. Wipeout HD was awesome, especially as it reignited my love for the game. Wipeou Pulse was amazing too. Please release a proper one.

I think it’s DLC. After all we were promised two new racing teams and maybe some new tracks. Check wikipedia

I hope it’s DLC too. It’s way overdue.

Who the feck is ButtonMasherNZ?
Anyway DLC for HD has been confirmed to be coming at some point so this probably refers to that.

The whole “Ultimate Racing” name kind of makes this seem like its bogus, Wipeout’s edition names are much cooler than that generic POS

I hope it’s a new game. That would finally mean (or so it should) that the Wipeout franchise will be moving forward. After Pure, it’s all been the same. Fun, but the same…

If it’s got WipEout in the title, im buying it, whether it be DLC or a whole new title. I absolutely love this game series.
