Wipeout

[vertigo]

"The Wipeout Team are looking for an experienced Network User Interface Programmer to take control of the lobby, ladders and other client/server front end systems. The candidate must have good C/C++ skills and at least one published title. Knowledge of HTML, Java, Tomcat & JSP is a requirement and experience with SCE-RT would be an advantage."

Yeh I think I recall seeing that in Edge. Don't ask for much, do they? I'm a bit confused, as I would have thought Sony would have all the basic NUI and other code already available, and then you just slap your graphics and extras on top, but from that ad it appears to require someone to build it from the ground up. And at this late stage too...

Yeah I had March in my head too but it seems a bit strange that there is nothing anywhere on the web about it (that I can find anyway).

I would've expected to have seen it in some shape or form by now.....

Selix - I know - I'm just asking cos I'm unsure I won't be buying one for it or anything - For my money Quantum Redshift was the last great future racer

So is Quantum Redshift worth getting then if you enjoy games like Wipeout?

Have seen this cheap in Gamestation but never bothered as i'd read somewhere that it wasn't much cop.

Quantum was a mint game, worth picking up...

Quantum Redshift is awesome and the speed/graphics still hold up today - The second track in the rain is absolutely awesome

Buy it and let me know - If you're a fan of the future racer you won't be disappointed - I'm gutted they never got to do a live enabled sequel.

So we're no further forward here other than an advert for a network coder there's nothing anywhere to confirm the existence of Wipeout on PS3 - If it was due to launch in April I'd have thought we'd know all about it by now - But I'm sure Studio Liverpool are doing the F1 game so maybe all their resources are channelled into that ??? Or maybe there is no wipeout PS3 - The ad says the wipeout team are looking for somebody but doesn't say it's to work on wipeout ><

To think there is not going to be a Wipeout on PS3 would be a huge mistake
