Wipeout Pulse rocks PSP this September @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on April 04, 2007

News: Sony's futuristic racer plays nice with the PSP again.

Sony Europe has announced that Wipeout Pulse will be coming to the PSP this September. While the Wipeout series is much more popular in Europe than it is in America, I'm sure an American announcement is forthcoming.

The big news for Wipeout Pulse is that the game will sport online multiplayer racing in Infrastructure mode for the first time. This is in addition to the continued support of Ad Hoc multiplayer.

The Wipeout series is known for its thumping dance music soundtrack and Wipeout Pulse will be no different. But for players looking for something a little different, Pulse offers the ability to play MP3s from a Memory Stick.

Other features of Wipeout Pulse include:

Latest incarnation of the iconic, stylish and futuristic anti-gravity combat racer: an awesome follow-up to WipEout Pure on PSP

Upholds the brand heritage and refines all the best elements of the franchise to deliver an exhilarating racing experience loaded with hi-tech weapons, hi-octane speed and futuristic adrenaline-fuelled combat

7 diversified single player and multiplayer modes, including wireless multiplayer mode via Ad Hoc and Infrastructure Modes

Downloadable content available at launch and post-launch: new circuits, ships and music tracks

Pumping soundtrack licensed by a range of top artists including Mason, Loco Dice and Stanton Warriors

8 teams including the new EG-X team and 24 new exhilarating tracks

New Mag-Strip track feature: Allowing for a huge variety and dynamism in track design including loops, vertical drops and 90 degrees angled sections

We'll have more on Sony's newest entry in their second favorite racing series soon.
