VGW: It looks like Studio Liverpools stunning PS3 racer Wipeout HD is coming to the PS Vita. A recent post at the Playstation Blog promoting cross-platform features and free content opportunities for PS Vita owners may have outed the game.
With PSN finally clambering back to its feet (slightly shakily, but it's getting there), Sony has announced the contents of its 'Welcome Back' package. Understanding how put out gamers have been with 24 days without access to PlayStation Store or online gaming, free games and more are being lavished upon each and every existing PlayStation Network user. Hooray! The content is slightly different to the US package, so let's see what us European gamers can expect when the Store is back online.
WipEout running on the NGP was the WipEout HD PS3 engine running on PS3 with no changes to the art platform.
Like Wipeout? Like Wipeout in HD on the PS3 even more because of the extra pixels? Want more of it? You might well be in luck. Sony's premiere manufacturer of super-fast futuristic hovercraft, Studio Liverpool is hiring. And the job description as good as confirms an answer to your prayers. Click on and I'll explain.

If it weren't for the risk of horrendous physical mangling, exorbitant cost of equipment and doubtless need to aquire nuclear fuel rods from various dodgy black market sources, real-life Wipeout racing would be brilliant. No-one knows that better than Malte Jemlich, who's put considerable time and effort into making a real-world Wipeout experience than anyone can enjoy, without the need to say an emotional pre-emptive goodbye to all of one's loved ones before each and every race.
How does it work? We'll explain all over leaf. There are words. There is video. There is much coolness.
TheSixthAxis reports that WipEout 3D is all ready for 3D - pop in the game and you'll get the patch.
Sony has finally revealed the reason behind the scheduled maintenance that resulted in the PlayStation Store being offline for the most part of yesterday. And that reason is none other than HD stereoscopic 3D Gaming! Remember that Sony released a firmware update back in April that introduced 3D support.
After years of planning and absorbing the high cost of making PS3 3D-ready, Sonys plans for 3D gaming are finally coming into fruition. But unfortunately for us, Japan will be the first to experience 3D games, which will be made available overseas on June 10th. The list of debut titles is small, but promising.
