London, 19th December 2009 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced that it would release the free WipEout®HD Trial Version on December 24th, available on PlayStation®Store. Since WipEout® rocketed into High Definition this September on PlayStation®Network it has taken the gaming world by storm. Featuring a selection of the best tracks from the iconic franchise remastered in stunning HD with a pumping soundtrack delivered in Dolby 5.1, WipEout®HD for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) is the fastest – and fastest-selling – PlayStation Network title to date. This November, it became PlayStation Network’s top-selling global download; SCEE is offering consumers the chance to sample the game for free with the WipEout HD Trial Version.
A free download from PlayStation Network, WipEout HD Trial Version will give consumers a complete track from the game to race at 600kph, delivered in 1080p High Definition. Strap yourself into an anti-gravity ship and speed into the thick of the action in a mix of racing, combat and pumping electronic music. You can go for all-out speed or for the blast-em-up approach – or a mixture of both. Play as many times as you like; then when the race is over, you’ll be given a preview of all of the tracks in the game – as well as a direct link to PlayStation Store, where you can unlock the full game for a reduced price until January 8th 2009.
Unlock the full game for a full range of modes, ships and tracks to be raced alone, with friends or online. Recent enhancements to the single-player and multi-player modes have made the game that’s achieved an average review score of 87 per cent even better! With Mag-Strips that help your ship grip the track, as well as classic race features including white-knuckle loops and stomach-churning vertical drops, you’ll feel the adrenaline pumping. Tilt and swerve your way to victory with the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller, racing up to eight players at once on PlayStation Network to the tunes of a thumping electronica soundtrack featuring Stanton Warriors, Optical and seminal electro pioneers Kraftwerk.
Are you ready to race? WipEout HD Trial Version is available to download for free from PlayStation Store on December 24th.
