Sony details reasoning behind WipEout HD delay :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has divulged its reasons for delaying the release of PlayStation Network racer, WipEout HD, revealing that the game was put back in order to implement new features.
Earlier this week it had been reported that the game had been held back after the title failed an epilepsy test. However, speaking to TVG, an SCEE spokesperson confirmed the following:
"The reason for the delay of WipEout HD on PS3 has been due to the many improvements we have been making and the numerous features we've added to the game.
These include: 8 reverse tracks, 4 extra ships, 2 alternative HUDS, 2 Player offline split screen and XMB Trophy support. We look forward to sharing WipEout HD with you very soon.”
"Regarding the speculation about health issues, we can assure you that we take consumer safety very seriously and monitor it very carefully."
