This makes me think of a dream I had last night. I was living in a timeline where Sony launched a VR headset without WipEout VR at launch ! Haha, it was crazy.

Everyone I know wants Wipeout ps4 and PSVR compatible!
The Ex wipeout people are involved with Playroom VR and may be doing something in the background so maybe news at E3 or even Playstation Experience.

This article is interesting but originally from 2004! Retro Gamer had one very recently talking more about 2097/XL, also a good read.

Yeah the bots flying around in the WipEout ships was a nice touch and shows that developers haven't forgotten the franchise, it's just Sony who have!
I bought a issue of the Edge from the 90s about the making of Wip3ou7 on ebay. I think there are a couple more pics that were in that article. Could scan it for science. Also have all the old flash animations from the old websites in case anyone is interested. I was involved in some lackluster community project to make high quality 3d models of the old ships for a movie..so have a bunch of refence material. I made the piranha from XL Fury cause it looks so bad ass..but never textured it. Even had some id guy help me with some parts..god i love internets.

Unbelievable they didn't remaster HD yet, it already looked fantastic on PS3 but I hate booting that slow thing up nowadays.

Man, I miss WipEout, my favorite racing series by far. The style and the music were so good.
3 and Pulse on the PSP were goddamn phenomenal.

Edge's parent company Future partnered with Kotaku for the UK site. Beats it being posted on Gamesradar I think.

Even as a die-hard Saturn fan, 2097 was a game of the generation. It's gone on for me to have encompassed all that was "of the time".

What date should I roughly be smiling ?
PSX is as good a place as any I suppose. I'm not 100% sure when.
It's not really a 'new' game but a remastering of a few of them. It's new...ish.

An amazing week, finishing with a bang.
That model shot in the article makes me crazy jealous. Would have that on full display.

Wait what the fuck does this mean? Wipeout was one of my favorite franchises!

The madness swelling in your dark dreams should never be uttered, let alone be reality. It truly is depressing.

IS THIS FOR REAL OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Wipeout on Ps4 = instabuy.
Wipeout on VR = will have to fetch the credit card. HAVE to.
Edit: no longer a junior! What a mature, controlled post to lose my junior status with. Ahem.

What the fffffuuuuuck?!? o.0
Intrigued. Happy with the remastering of some games mashed together.
Firesprite? And they have VR experience after Playroom VR...

The original WipEout was the first game that I ever played on the PS1, and to be honest it did a really good job on convincing me why the console was worth owning back in the day.
I was legitimately impressed by the visuals, framerate and the game's style. Playing WipEout for the first time really was one of those "holy shit" moments for me. It played like a cross between Super Mario Kart and the original F-Zero, but with fully polygon environments and an attempt at realistic physics (for the time) . Sure it didn't look as good as say... Daytona USA in the arcades, but on a home console it was as good as it could get upon release.
It captured the essence of 1995 perfectly, and I loved the Designer Republic styling, UK techno music and gritty style. It was an awesome experience.
Also, I have to post the pre-rendered WipEout pitch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix35c_8DEXk
That made an appearance in the 1995 movie Hackers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATlszssL-eI

A VR WipeOut game is pretty much the only thing that would get me to take the plunge on PSVR.
