June 28, 2006 - UK games employment firm, Datascope Recruitment, revealed some interesting information this morning when it posted a new "Help Wanted" ad on behalf of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. The ad, marked "Urgent", was in search of new senior/ lead designer for the SCE Studios Cambridge Team and more specifically, a new WipEout project for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable videogame systems. Other positions are also available.
This classified is the first time that Sony has allowed any public mention of a PlayStation 3 WipEout title, but no other information about the game has been divulged. American Sony representatives had no official comment on the European job posting, despite the fact that Datascope is the official staffing firm for SCEE.
WipEout Pure (PSP)
For the unfamiliar, WipEout is a popular first-party franchise that has seen release on every PlayStation gaming platform thus far. The most recent version, WipEout Pure, shipped as a launch title for the PSP's debut in March of 2005 and went on to win several IGN PSP awards -- including "Best Racing Game" and "Best Downloadable Content," as well as runner-up nods in "Best Graphics Technology, Best Artistic Design," and "PSP Game of the Year."
