Who here has heard of WipEout?
I feel like a boomer for saying this but back in the older days, there was a PlayStation franchise called WipEout. It's an anti gravity racing game and made up a significant portion of my childhood. The company that developed it was shut down shortly after WipEout 2048 dropped for the PS Vita and nothing has been heard from Sony about a possible new game for PS5. They remastered some of the newer games for the PS4, but no original campaign has been made in 12 years. Is this because everyone moved on from WipEout or is it just Sony neglecting yet another loyal community of people?

A little surprised by the low-key responses, maybe it was more significant in the UK than elsewhere?

Here it was the game that made Playstation a household name, a year before Final Fantasy 7 - its techno soundtrack track was intentionally aimed at the young adults spilling out of nightclubs/raves at 2am, still too wired to sleep and looking for something to wind down to. Essentially changing the idea/culture that games/consoles were for 'kids'.

Oh, I thought you meant the show where contestants jump through the obstacle course and try not to get knocked down and into the water.

Nah, I’ve never heard of the game series.

WipEout 2048 was a great game back then on PS Vita, completed 100%. It was a hard game, but rewarding.

I'm talking about the fast paced racing game, not the weird game show.

Yeah Fusion was a great game. Honestly deserves more credit than it gets because it's so unique

Bought the remastered collection on physical in case my PS+ sub ever lapses. I'm pretty sure I got a version for the PS3 through PS+ too but I'm not sure which that was.

It's a fantastic game on a big living room TV when you've got little amounts of time to kill.

This was a top 40 hit at one time. Nothing to do with any game show. Just posted it for fun. 'Cause of the name.

Yeah, me too!
It was very entertaining and funny.. I mean, back then I was about ten years younger, so.. :ritonalol:

As for the game, that doesn't ring any bell to me.
