WipEout Pulse preview - PSP

WipEout was one of the first PSP games, so it’s not surprising to see a new version speeding our way. We got an exclusive hands-on look at WipEout Pulse and it is looking very fine. The development team has now had plenty of experience with the Sony’s handheld and it’s going to show. WipEout Pulse has a very tuned game engine, and mind bending track design thanks to some new gameplay ideas, as well as new weapons and other optimisations.

The future is back. Two years after its triumphant debut on the fledgling PSP, WipEout is scorching towards a whole new starting grid. Boasting 24 tracks, eight teams including the new EG-X outfit and seven game modes, Pulse is another epic slab of sci-fi jet racing action. But there’s more to this than numbers. Pulse is about gravity. Or lack of it.
While WipEout has always featured seriously undulating tracks, Pulse takes it one step further with the addition of mag strips – magnetic track sections that allow the craft to cope with 90 degree drops and stomachchurning loops. “We added this to give us greater variety in track design,” explains lead designer, Colin Berry. “We did not want to permanently lock the ships to the track for a rollercoaster feel, so rather than change the entire track we came up with the idea of having magnetic sections. Because of this we’ve been able to play around more with the vertical aspects of the environments so we’ve really tried to re-enforce the feeling of height and vertigo.” Click here to read the full WipEout Pulse preview for Sony PSP now!
