Sony Liverpool’s Wipeout HD seems like it has been in development forever, but the company finally released some good news about its game today. A SCEE representative told TVG that the game will support PS3′s trophies, making it potentially the first driving game to do so.

Also confirmed today was that the game will include a full 2 player offline split screen option, something which has become a rarity in this era of online play. It’s especially commendable to see this in a title which is being distributed exclusively online via the PlayStation Store.

The release date is still no clearer and we’ll have to make do with the “this year” estimate provided at E3.
