Compared to Japan the Playstation Store in North America is rarely updated with new PS1 games. Perhaps that's about to change. The ESRB has a rating up for Wipeout XL as a PS3/PSP game and Wipeout XL originally came out as a PS1 game. Unless Sony is planning a remake (very unlikely!) of Wipeout XL the PS1 game is coming to the Playstation Store, hopefully with a handful of other titles.
Game preservationists Forest of Illusion have released the source code for the original Wipeout PS1 online, as well as its Windows port.
Featuring historical context and an interview with the designer, we take a look at the controversial WipEout poster that caused uproar in the UK press.
Amazing poster and one of the best racing franchises in the games industry - Period
No game give you the speed and rush like WipEout and the music is a key component to the game
Must make lots more WipEout's
mourne for that late 90s and 00s swag. All the cool stuff never known by dumb child me, curses!
From the carnage of Burnout to the underground street racing culture of Midnight Club, Nexus Hub explores five racing game franchises that are in need of a revival today.
I agree absolutely with Ridge Racer, but would prefer what Namco did with Ridge Racers on the PSP. Basically pull Ridge Racer 1-5 together, make it all about drifting and create new tracks with the same oldskool Arcade Feel. Wipeout however? Redout and Ballistic NG replaced it for me. I miss Rock N Roll Racing in this list
RR 6 & 7 were both good on the 7th gen but it is surprising there wasnt an 8th gen RR8. Ace Combat got a release on 8th gen but not RR of all things (unless you count the stripped down vita version).
I'd love to see the return of PGR and Tokyo Extreme Racer.
I would love to see Rockstar put another Midnight Club out. I remember that game fondly, the customization was top notch at the time. It had a nice arcady feel to the driving, but looking at the cars was the main point.
I still have my PS1 copy, and the music is awesome!
bring it soon, we need some psn extras
This game is so much fun, the kig of future racers.
This was meant to be released in the UK store about 3 weeks ago (as Wipeout 2097) but was mysteriously pulled, good game though and I hope Sony pull their finger out and get some PS1 games on the EU store as at the moment there are I think only 4 (you think USA is neglected!)
Nevermind you're getting a premier, stylistic, slicker-than-snot racer.
