Almost as if its reaching far from the placate floors of era in gamedom showered with boring efforts in the same depart: the upgrade. Funny thing about titles in the same story, genre, etc, I sometimes just see them as an upgrade to a previous standing on a title that was once called the epoch of its existence.
With WipEout, and depending on who you are, there are several of these titles that reach the top of the bell curve. Whether it was the first incarnation of the series, the PS version, or the newer PSP versions, of which HD is based off of. In my eyes, HD takes my favorite of..."
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.
and download this on live.
oh wait.. =D
I have 5/8 completed any one who has played it knows what Im talking about and I love it more then I love the 1st 2 on the earlier consoles.
Anyone who is debating to get this or not please read this.
THIS GAMES KICKS A** AND WORTH EVERY PENNY.
9/10 IMHO
That game is awesome but ends up quite difficult in the later events :) Nevertheless, great speed.
i think this will be my first PSN downloaded game! it's nice to see the Wipeout series return to form!
Shame all the games on the ps3 dont harness the 1080p and 60 frame qualities. This is something the 360 cant handle and I dont care what any silly 360 fanboy says. Sony and developers need to expose this alot more coz this bumps up the quality ten fold, far beyond the reach of any xbox game no matter how much they pushed the 360. They probably need 10 discs and then after playing it for 27 secs they'd get the ring of death. Lol.
