UK, February 2, 2007 - A key developer at Sony's Liverpool studio has officially confirmed that WipEout on PS3 is in development and that the game will use the SIXAXIS controller.

Speaking to Develop magazine in the UK, Clemens Wangerin, internal development director at the studio, said the WipEout team is working on a PS3 version, stating the new game has "SIXAXIS controls, maybe online multiplayer and downloadable content". Rumours of a PS3 incarnation of Sony's classic sci-fi racer have been circulating for a few months but this is the first hard evidence that the game is actually in development.

When questioned over details of a new WipEout game a Sony spokespersion simply said, "We'll be making a full announcement about WipeOut on the PS3 at some point in the future". Will it be tomorrow? Next week? Who knows, but you can be sure we'll bring the news first.

This is good news and I like that it will support SIXAXIS title. More games need to start taking advantage of that. I think SONY is doing a good thing by bringing this game to the PS3 and I think they need to resurrect more of their older series. Next they need to announce a new Twisted Metal. TM Black was the game that finally got me to upgrade to the PS2. Sony needs to announce more first party games

Now the only issue is getting the Sixaxis to work as well as the wii-mote.

Nice, i enjoy Wipeout for the psp, but i think it would be better to release it has a downloadable game.

this isnt going to be the same Wipeout. Its going to be an all new game made specifically for the PS3

I know that, what i meant to say is that wipeout is not a game that i would spend 60 bucks on. But i'll have to wait a see if is any good.
