An Update On Wipeout HD - It's Not Good News

Back in April I was just finishing up GTA4 and looking forward to playing Wipeout HD in May, while I waited for Metal Gear Solid 4 to be released in June. May came and went without any sign of Wipeout HD and now two months later we still have no idea when we can expect to finally be able to play the game.

Sony Europe boss David Reeves has now spoken about the delay, but it's not looking promising:

"There is a specific technical problem with WipEout that we have to solve. I can't go into details but it is a really, really tricky technical problem that no region has been able to solve at the moment.

I think it will come out before the end of the year but it is something that was just very difficult to get to grips with."

A sensible guess would suggest these problems are related to the online aspect of Wipeout HD as review code for the single player game has been sent to games reviewers already, but nobody has been allowed to try the online portion of the game yet.

With all of these delays perhaps Sony Liverpool will be able to put an extra track or two into the game when it enventually hits the PSN later this year (maybe).
