Extras in the form of 2 player offline multiplayer split screen, XMB Trophy support, 8 reverse tracks, 4 extra ships, 2 alternative HUDS are stated as reasons for the delay of the release of the highly anticipated (by me… HA) release of Wipeout HD for Playstation 3. Actually if true this makes the wait entirely justified in my eyes.
Here is the official statement from SCEE to TVG:
“The reason for the delay of WipEout HD on PS3 has been due to the many improvements we have been making and the numerous features we’ve added to the game. These include: 8 reverse tracks, 4 extra ships, 2 alternative HUDS, 2 Player offline split screen and XMB Trophy support. We look forward to sharing WipEout HD with you very soon.
Regarding the speculation about health issues, we can assure you that we take consumer safety very seriously and monitor it very carefully.”
