There NEEDS to be a PS3 version.

Also the next PSP version needs to not be ruined by poor track design, please. The last PSP version was an unwelcome step backwards from the awesomeness of Fusion.

Last year Sony mentioned that both PSP and PS3 versions of Wipeout was in the works... not an official announcement though.

Wipeout on PS3 with SIXAXIS controls is a no-brainer ;)

Awesome! Can't wait for this, and I still can't believe I brought a PSP for Pure >_> two WipEouts, fantastic.

Seriously?

Fusion was by far the worst in the series and Pure was the 2nd best (after 2097) IMO ;)

A ps3 version is needed, but sticking pure or pulse on the PSM like tekken would be nice too...

This is still the only game that stops my PSP getting dusty - can't wait for the sequel.

I really should dig out Fusion for another blast some time...

Slightly off-topic, but has there been any hint of a Wii F-Zero game in the pipeline?

"Mag-Strip" - this will lock ships to the surface of the track temporarily

Uh-oh. That sounds suspiciously like it will be rubbish.

Still, Pure was amazing, so hopefully they'll pull it off!

Great news. The last Wipeout on PSP was a return to it's greater days. Lets hope this latest addition builds on that. Now a PS3 version with PSP connectivity with this game, please Sony. Pretty please???

F-Zero is undoubtedly better than wipeout, but i wish they would just forget about this and concentrate on the ps3 version, psp is a turd, ps3 wipeout interests me.

Smashing.

A Locoroco themed *track* would be good!

Fantastic, the best future racer ever returns. The promise of online play is what i am most looking forward to plus I'm sure there's a lot of people who would rather listen to heavy metal than electronic music, the fools, so the ability to use your own MP3s is a welcome addition.

Was the PS3 version confirmed back in Feb? Would be great to see what it looks like though.

Picked up a copy of fusion at the weekend with PS3, happy days :o)

Woohoo! I love Wipeout the best racer bar none, fast, futuristic, guns and great eye candy... can't wait!

Wipeout Pure was the best Wipeout yet, if they improve on that...

Re: PS3 if Sony release Wipeout for the PS3, I'm sold straight away. No cash? No problem, I'd pimp my arse on the street for a PS3 and a copy of Wipeout.

Bah! Wipeout 3 was clearly better than Pure - the handling and collsision response was so much more satisfying.
I wish they'd release real screenshots though - those have far too much anti-aliasing to be real PSP shots.

Yes, those are cleary workstation shots. The resolution will be lower but the level of detail will be the same aprox.

Fusion was the best, but it seems that's a minority view.

The correct order of awesomeness is:

Wipeout 2097
Wipeout
Wipeout Fusion
Wipeout Pure
Wipeout 64 even though it had a crash bug it's still better than the abomination that was. . .
Wipeout 3

Nonsense, Wipeout 3 was the best of the lot. Wipeout 2097 was great, but it didn't have analog steering since the Dual Shock 2 hadn't come out yet. (Unless you had a NegCon.)

My own personal ranking:

Wipeout > Wipeout 2097 (but only just!) > pure > (big gap) > fusion > (colossal gap) > F Zero

Fusion better than pure is just lunacy - the guns in fusion were totally over the top and took away from the racing, they'd just messed up the balance.

Guns over the top?? You've run mad! Since the beginning the point of racing in Wipeout is to blast your way clear of the pack then horde your Shields.

Pure was great in all respects other than the track design which just ruined it for me.

Edit: I'm not even answering anyone who claims 3 was anything other than wrong :P

Best news EVER to come home to :DDDDDDDDDDD

/EDIT
Holy crap: - I was thinking the name was good! I came up with it!!! Check this link - this forum is visited by the makers of wipeout and we had a thread about naming the sequel to purE. My nick is yawnstretch on that forum:

You're all mental:-)

Wipeout 3:SE ---> Pure ---> Fusion ---> 2097 ---> Wipeout

2097 was too bloody hard, though Pure starts going in that direction pretty fast.

I loved all of them equally, except for Fusion, which wasn't neon enough.

Just bought a PSP with Pure and am currently wallowing in its awesomeness.

For the record:

wipEout purE > WipEout > wipEout 2097 > wip3out > F-Zero > WipEout Fusion

Now, where will Pulse fit?
