Gonna have to explain to me what those images have to do with Namco. And quite frankly, that's a pretty big stretch to tie them to a Wipeout project today. Especially when this rumor in particular is that Sega is working on it.
EDIT: Okay, so that was the Negcon motion controller made by Namco. Neat. Still, that's really not much. Like, at all. It was a motion controller made for the PlayStation. Not specifically for Wipeout. Its use was intended for racing games. Wipeout wasn't even PlayStation's first.
