So without further delay, lets take a look at alle the WipEout games!įormats: PlayStation (1995), PC (1995) & Sega Saturn (1996) The series was later revived, with Wipeout Omega Collection being released in 2017. Wipeout 2048 was the last game to be developed by Studio Liverpool prior to their closure in August 2012. The Wipeout franchise has been well received by critics, with Wipeout 2097 in particular being listed as among the PlayStation’s best games. The game’s appearance in the film led to Sony purchasing the studio in the following months after its release. A beta version of Wipeout appeared in the cult film Hackers, in which the game was being played by the protagonists in a nightclub. Some elements of the game were inspired by Matrix Marauders, an Amiga game released by the Liverpudlian studio in 1990. The concept of Wipeout was first discussed during a pub conversation, when one member of Psygnosis’ staff envisioned an idea of creating a futuristic racing game which featured anti-gravity ships.

WipEout blew 32-bit gamers away with sharp and futuristic graphics, excellent electronic music score and super fast anti-gravity gameplay. Japan had to wait to March next year, thus the game is a late bloomer on the console over there. WipEout debuted on the PlayStation 29th of September in Europe, followed by it’s US market launch in November.

Developed by Psygnosis in Liverpool, England, during the mid-nineties with heavy influence from F-Zero and the rave music scene. Sure, you had the launch game Ridge Racer as an impressive arcade port to a home console on the PS1, probably one of Sony’s best cards to play against Sega’s Saturn and Daytona USA, but there’s another launch title for Europe that caught my eye back in the day: WipEout.
