wipeout!

My favorite video game franchise is back in the news ... Wipeout 2048 will be one of the first release titles for the new Playstation Vita handheld device, the replacement for the PSP. No release date set, and I doubt that I will be getting a Vita, but hopefully a version for the PS3 console will follow next year. I did see a rumor back in June that domain names for both Wipeout 2048 and “Wipeout Trinity” had been registered.

I also love Wipeout because of the great design and branding that has always been a trademark of the series. On the Wipeout 2048 Facebook page, you can see a photo history of Wipeout packaging. My favorite Wipeout branding was the work done by The Designers Republic. Below are a poster and two magazine covers featuring artwork from Wipeout3.
