Gamma Pack 3 for WipEout Pure News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PSP

More US downloadables.

Those evil black-hearted hateful importing sonsofbitches we keep hearing about on the news were given cause to celebrate again today as Sony America released another Gamma Pack of downloadable content for the US version of WipEout Pure.

The new pack, the third Sony's released so far, features another new ship for the futuristic racer, brilliantly dubbed the "Van Uber", as well as a new track called Sebenco Peak that's set in the mountains and, finally, a new skin for the Feisar Team.

What's particularly handy about this release is that it completes the Gamma set, unlocking the Gamma Tournament and an overall 12-track tournament called Descension, which reverses the Ascension tournament track order (clever, clever) and chucks in the Gamma tracks here and there.

As you may remember, downloading content for WipEout Pure on the PSP involves going online through a wireless hotspot or router and choosing the downloadable content menu option. It's also possible to do direct by going to the WipEout Pure website on a PC, downloading from there and using a USB cable to transfer the contents direct to the PSP using the console's "USB Connection" option.

More downloadable content is expected in the coming months, according to IGN, with a pack of classic tracks expected as soon as next month.

Just go for 1GB. They are a steal on ebay at the moment at roughly �50-60.

Hicksy i got a 512 card and i can put a movie on it and have a shit load of classic snes and megadrive games on it - tetris attack and chrono trigger on the toilet.....whats that all about (1.50 fireware) and these downloads for wipeout (still got 150 mb left).

last time i checked the 1gb where expensive (around �100 and you needed to get them from hong kong with their artificially high P&P. my 512 was �40 from the UK.

the new vehicle is possible the best available and should be good for the timetrials.

gotta love the PSP and gotta hate sony for hating us in the first place.

This my friends is why WipEout Pure is my most played game on my PSP. The gamma packs have given the game a new lease of life and to know that a new track is avaliable every month is brilliant.

I wish this function would happen with Ridge Racer too.

Offering this sort of free content is extremely cool for early adopters, but will the UK release already include all the new stuff?

Is this download a thinly disguised anti-piracy firmware patch, or am i just being pessimistic?

sGood question, and the answer may well set a precedence for other PSP games. With the inevitable delays to games being released in the UK (think Shadow/Colossus), I fear we'll just end up grabbing all the extra's that have been released in the US/Japan on or near the day of release over here. Might not be a bad thing I suppose..

edit: how the hell does one get a persons earlier comment in italics?

"12-track tournament called Descension"

That should be fun on Phantom.

I think I've come to the conclusion I'm just not good enough for WipEout Pure. I'm really starting to struggle on the third speed class...

Scimarad:
Tell me about it- this game is too bloomin' hard!!! I thought I was good at games until this came along. How hard are the time trials???!!!
Still, all these new tracks are absolutely fantastic, wipeout psp is quite simply one of the best things in the world ever.
