WipEout HD Leaves The Garage A Bit Buggy

10:00AM Michael McWhertor | The release of WipEout HD was a long time a-comin’ and, unfortunately, its launch on the PlayStation Store is not without its problems. PlayStation 3 owners are reporting that their copies of the SCEE developed hoverracer are locking up, with users pointing to larger friend lists as a potential source of the problem. We contacted Sony PR to find out more. “Following the release of WipEout HD on PLAYSTATION Store yesterday, we’ve been following the reports by some members of the community regarding problems with game freezes,” SCEA reps confirmed. “We’d like to reassure you all that the WipEout team is working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.” As far as the cause, SCEA tells us that anything we might have read about the source of the issue is, at this point, “rumour and speculation.” It is worth noting though, that some WipEout HD players are noting that they’re having better luck with a leaner friend list.

That suggestion looks pretty likely today, with the news that the game’s going to ship with the mother of all epilepsy warnings at the front. Every time you play the game, you’ll have to scroll through a large warning message that goes above and beyond what you’d normally expect, with the message dealing mostly with the games “flashing or flickering lights or geometric shapes and patterns”. If you’re sensitive to that sort of stuff, be warned. Serious epilepsy warning for WipEout HD [CVG] More »

12:40AM Michael McWhertor | It’s been a year since we first went hands on with Wipeout HD, the (eventual) PlayStation Network release that acts as a sort of remastered greatest hits comp from the series’ past decade. The SCEE developed racer may have looked pretty sharp the last time we saw it, but it looks light years beyond that now. So, happy anniversary Wipeout HD! We got you the traditional gift — hands-on impressions! More »
