In a recent interview with Clemens Wangerin, Development Director at SCEE Liverpool, he confirms the existence of a next
generation Wipeout in development for PS3.

As quoted from "Develop" Magazine, "Wangerin can’t say much about either game yet, aside from acknowledge their existence, but providing “Sixaxis controls, maybe online multiplayer and downloadable content” to the latter, on a machine he says in fact “has a learning curve a lot easier than the vector units on the PS2” is what excites him. And with one PS3 title already in the can, “the challenge for us now is to stay ahead of the curve”."

The full article discussing SCEE and Wangerin's development team and their recent projects can be seen in this *.pdf, here.

That's all for now, aside from the fact that yes, a PS3 Wipeout is in the works. The PSP title, Wipeout Pure was a hit, and the first PSP title to reach the million seller mark. More on this presumably anticipated PS3 title as it develops.

I'm not much of a Wipeout fan but this should make the PS3 crowd happy.

I never cared about this franchise either. I don't even know how it got popular. But, hopefully, this game can bring PS3 some positive aura.

I never played the Wipeout game(s). See? I don't even know how many were made, that really shows how little I know about the series. I'm going to guess by the name it has to do with racing on Sea-Doos or whatever those things are, right?

Any on the PS2? I seriously don't remember Wipeout besides maybe seeing it on the back of my PS1 box.

apparently, there are 5. wipeout3 is the last on psx. There's wipeout fusion for ps2 and wipeout pure for psp.

I thought wipeout 3 was the last in the series......

The PS3 version wasnt that good IMO. This was the series that took the futuristic racer title from Nintendo's FZERO plus I think this is the game that really started music soundtracks. Sure the 8bit and 16 bit consoles had soundtracks but this was full CD quality techno. Man I loved the first 3 wipeouts on the PSX. This along with Jetmoto are two games that would work perfectly with the Six axis. Because the both are hovercrafts with floaty controls.
