[Downloadable Game] Get ready to race at blazing speeds and experience adrenaline-filled, anti-gravity racing action in full-1080p High Definition running at a breathtaking 60-frames-per-second on PS3. Featuring a selection of the best tracks taken from previous versions of the Wipeout franchise, Wipeout HD offers meticulously crafted and fully reworked tracks that showcase the processing power of PS3. And for the first time, players have the option to navigate their ships utilizing the SIXAXIS wireless controller's motion sensing technology. Additionally, players take on the best competition from around the world in online multiplayer modes as up to eight players can compete against each other in a range of online races. Tracks include the new Mag-Strips feature, which causes ships to be temporarily locked to the track surface, allowing greater variety and dynamism in track design and introducing track features such as loops, vertical drops and 90-degree angled sections. Wipeout HD features eight teams from Wipeout Pulse, including: Feisar, Assegai, AG-Systems, Qirex, Piranha, Triakis, Goteki45 and EG-X. Wipeout HD features seven race modes, including: Single Race, Tournament, Time Trial, Speed Lap, Zone Mode, Elimination and Head-2-Head. The Race Campaign feature contains many unique predefined race events to give an all new sense of progression for the player. Wipeout HD introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI) pack racing to keep players under pressure and on the edge of their seats. A refined weapons system includes three new weapons: The Repulser (bad-ass!), Shuriken and Leach Beam. The Photo-mode feature allows players to be able to pause the game both during a race and the post race parade lap so that they can take a snapshot which they can then save to their PS3 HDD. These Photos can then be uploaded to the Wipeout HD website and traded between players. [SCE]
