There will still be "plenty of WipEout community events, giveaways and goodies" too. It seems WipEout might not be down for the count after all. The official twitter declared: "WE. ARE. ALIVE."

Producer Matt Webster from Criterion Games has dished some dirt on their upcoming Need for Speed: Most Wanted efforts. There's no story mode much like in Burnout Paradise.
