Sony responds to WipEout epilepsy report

CVG: "We take consumer safety very seriously," Sony tells us.

Sony has issued a response after we learned that the silent delay of PSN title WipEout HD was due to it failing epilepsy tests.

CVG was told on Tuesday this week that WipEout "fails the epilepsy tests so much that it has to be re-engineered," hence the game's absence from E3, despite us having had what appears to be a near complete version for AGES.

Sony has neither confirmed or denied the report, only saying CVG: "Regarding the speculation about health issues, we can assure you that we take consumer safety very seriously and monitor it very carefully." (Industry, PS3, Wipeout HD)
