It's close, but I'm gonna say Wipeout because of Zone Mode. I love zone mode, could play that for hours.
Geez dude, you must be fun at parties.

Only if you never played F-Zero can say Wipeout... F-Zero hands down.

FZERO.
Wipeout has always been fantastic but I am a HUGE Fzero fan. I like the piloting mechanics/weight/tracks much better in FZERO. Wipeout is quality though. I will be picking up my PS4 copy when it drops. If I had to choose though, I wouldn't even look twice at Wipeout.

I mean... F-Zero GX is the best game, but... Unfortunately Nintendo mic-dropped after GX and still hasn't come back out for an encore.
In the meantime we're all left jamming to Wipeout.

I have only played F-Zero (SNES one), F-Zero X and one WipeOut (don´t know which one it was) and even though I enjoyed WipeOut, F-Zero X was like drug. I played that game for years, the course randomizer provided content forever. Also, F-Zero has the Big Blue theme so it automatically wins. The music from the rest of the series is amazing as well, I still listen to the F-Zero X arranged soundtrack regularly. The WipeOut music was pretty generic electronic themes in comparison.
F-Zero hands down.
F-Zero hands down.
Wipeout has the super cool graphics design and music, but F-Zero has a raw aggression from its lack of weapons (which I never really liked on wipeout) and of course the insane speed and helter skelter tracks and 4 player vs .
F-Zero X is still the best game in the series for me. GX was fantastic , but I always liked X better

One is about combat-based barrel roll electronica pumping mind-tripping and the other is F-Zero.
I love both, but WIpeOut HD on PS3 with the Fury DLC and zone mode wins out, just barely. Can't wait for the Omega collection.
Also REALLY want a new friggin' F-Zero.

I'm no fun because I value tight gameplay in my video games over flashy style?
A decent chunk of those choosing Wipeout are talking about everything they love about Wipeout EXCEPT the gameplay. Which I'd argue is the most important part of a videogame. Especially a racing one.
Yes, I have. I actually drove 2 hours out of my way on a road trip to find one. Absolutely worth it.
I'm bemused by the "wipeout has floaty/bad" controls comments. Mainly because the vehicles are effectively zero gravity formula racers i.e. they are literally floating and, the controls have always been consistent such that, much like any sim racer, you could improve your times/speed by memorising tracks and improving your racing lines, braking and acceleration points.
I still remember the F1 97 game, also developed by psygnosis, which had a wipeout mode/cheat code which literally turned the formula 1 cars into zero gravity formula racers

WO has great gameplay. Deal with it.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Pretty much. People are saying "wipeout introduced me to [insert band here], so I like it better." By that logic, Spotify is the greatest video game of all time

Wipeout overall, but F-Zero has the best single game out of all of them.

Wipeout has better style. F-Zero has better gameplay.
So true. Probably just are bad at it and need too point somewhere else.

F-Zero, if only because of GX. Wipeout is fun for what it is but like a lot (not all) of Sony properties, it's more style than substance. That can get you pretty far, if executed exceptionally well, but only so far.
Wipeout has great gameplay, it's nuanced, difficult to master and deep. F zero is just an arcadey, anti grav racer with bland tracks and no art style.
In this thread: rabid Nintendo fans who never played Wipeout claim that F-Zero is the better game as if it had even half the impact the Wipeout series had.
Let me ask this question in another way: Which series had you detonating quake bombs while The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy played in the background during the height of the electronica invasion of the late 90s?
Wipeout Forever.

How is F-Zero not nuanced and difficult to master? I don't even know why I'm responding to you after your shitpost anyways.

Well, yes.
Silent Hill introduced me to Lynch ,Francis Bacon, and Jacob's Ladder. Was it a much better game than RE1?
I don't know. Probably not.
But I value it much more.
Yes, because Fzero fans weren't shitposting at all.

Another post from a Wipeout fan that seems to prefer style over substance.

Wipeout > F-Zero
F-Zero X was a masterpiece but difficulty curve in games like F-Zero GX and other titles is broken. Wipeout has a way better difficulty curve in most games, a more appealing -to me- art-style (thanks to people like Designers Republic) and sountrack, even considering that the F-Zero music is super awesome.
Like many others, I discovered the good electronic music thanks to Wipeout. Many people started to make electronic music or music for games thanks to Wipeout.
The music, the art style, the controls, track design, game modes, the setting and everything all have a unique personality and mood that made me think that like with some of other PlayStation hits, games like Wipeout started to focus adults too, and not mostly kids and teenagers.
F-Zero was really fun in SNES and back then had impactul visuals, F-Zero X was a masterpiece an my favorite in the series, and F-Zero GX had great visuals but broken gameplay due to difficulty in some areas. It's better to forget the portable F-Zeros.
The overall quality of Wipeout games instead is higher and steady, even considering the portable ones (the PSP titles are some of the best in the series). Only Wipeout Fusion was a weak game.
Not only because of all of them -unlike F-Zero- have online multiplayer, their single player modes and local multiplayer are amazing and keep you playing there for years.

Please, stop shitposting.
Play Wipeout Pure, Wipeout Pulse or the upcoming Wipeout Omega (that bundles Wipeout HD, Fury and 2048) and you'll notice that you are totally wrong. All these these game excel on substance, game feel and content.
