[@FirefoxEzo]

As a former wipeout player and a current Redout 2, there is something about flying at full speed with music that makes you feel like you are in these tournaments. I do miss Studio Liverpool as anti grav isnt complete without them

That transition is from one of Wipeout games I believe.

[@SteveBrandon]

When playing Wipeout XL circa winter 1997, I honestly thought Red Bull was a fictional in-universe sponsor created for the game (i.e. like Duff Beer in the Simpsons) until I visited England later that year and saw that Red Bull was a real life product that you could buy in stores. I think it took another year or so for Red Bull to be approved for sale in Canada due to the high caffeine content.

[@Soonjai]

Fun fact: WipeOut 64 isn´t the first game in the franchise to feature analouge controls. That honor belongs to the first game. On the PS1 these games support the neGcon Controller (aka the twisty boi) giving you full analouge steering controls. The game feels very good using the neGcon and is IMO one of the best set of games to play with it.

100% yes, it's still in active development and gets a lot of attention from its devs to revitalize the genre

[@Rhabarbarum]

Imo its movement is perfect, shit's literally peak. It misses the aesthetic style of wipeout unfortunately, but in terms of pure gameplay I think it equals or maybe even surpasses its inspiration

[@raulins100]

@@Rhabarbarum i mean tbf you can run retro settings, install any older wipeout tracks and ships, change the sounds, soundtrack and even the hud

[@benjamindavis9352]

I wanna mention F-Zero GX was incredible. I wish they had come out with more games like it. You could customize your ship to some degree. The tracks had good features like the tubes and pipes, and it was all around, in my opinion, the best in the genre. Hope it gets a mention in part 2.

[@vivaselementum]

OH I remember playing the arcade version of the F-Zero AX, complete with it's tilting mechanism. It felt legit like piloting an anti gravity craft as every corners translate to leaning like a GP bike... until the rig thought I got too heavy and the leaning system won't activate. I remember the graphics were PS2-like. Sweet times.

this video unlocked memories from my 6 year old brain that i have never percieved again until now. thanks bro

[@ashleythomas9671]

lol just remembered me and my brother playing wipeout on the PS1 and after being told to turn it off its time for bed for the fifth time, my dad ejected the disk, held it up showed it to us and then snapped it, while telling us its time for bed again.

[@CatFish107]

It's ok. My dad is a POS too.

[@shortcat]

wouldn't been bold if you proceeded with the race after that but i guess he shut the console down

A prototype of Wipeout was features as the game Dade and Kate play in Cyberdelia in the 1995 pseudo-cyberpunk magnum opus, Hackers.

[@johnmcshane4463]

cant wait for the breakdown on redout 1 and 2, what a roller coaster, both literally and figuratively.

[@kinositahimaru]

As a child not even 10 years old I remember first playing Wipeout XL, seeing the Red Bull sponsorship and thinking "Man this game is so cool... One day I'm going to drink Red Bull" and I fulfilled that promise as a teenager lmao. What's super interesting is the design history of Wipeout, by The Designers Republic, who were responsible for the art direction and all the asset making of the games. There's a full Wipeout design book that's been released recently that's super cool too. I'm a bit of a nut though - I literally have one of the logos from Wipeout Fury tattooed because I love the design so much.

[@DonovanAenslaed]

I won't forget playing wip3out (being Stunt Race my last racing game before that) for the first time while Sasha's Xpander is playing in the background. Truly a magical moment... 😢

[@kukukachu]

I found the best hoverjet racing game and it's honestly my GOTY. It's still in early access and it's STILL getting new content. The funny thing about this developers is that he keeps saying "yea, I'm not gonna do that", AND THEN HE DOES IT LOL! Check it out, it's called Extreme Formula and it's the fastest game I've ever played.

A popular AGR game for PC in the 90s was Hi-Octane, released in 1995. It pushed PC graphics to the limit.... the 800x600 resolution would fry chips and make any Pentium beg for water.

[@connorbutters8479]

The first three wipeout games have their game discs also double as their soundtrack discs so if you put the game disc into a CD music player it'll play the game's soundtrack as though it were a music album.

[@daniel8181]

I'm glad you gave us that information about mario kart with better music created wipeout, I dont think I ever struggled to describe why I like fzero x better than wipeout and I always thought they were only alike in theme, but could never figure out what it was that It reminded me of...mario kart with energetic music.

Another unique racing game was the ROLLCAGE series. So much fun.

[@Pickle_Panther]

I grew up playing MegaRace3 and Star Wars episode 1 Racer. Good times. Racing games just arent the same anymore

[@PhilipHowson]

I think part of the reason for the decline in AGRs is that in the early 3D era, rendering wheels required a lot of polygons, so developers looked for ways to remove the wheels. I remember reading an interview with a Bullfrog developer working on Hi-Octane (their AGR title) and this was the reason he gave for making the game AGR rather than just a normal racing game.

[@davidsentanu7836]

That makes sense. But also, modern AGR games usually approach the aesthetics wrong. If you look at the OG F-Zero or the first 3 Wipeout games, they tend to feature realistic futuristic environment the best they could. There were grass, trees, soil, rocky hills, etc. Even wind and snow / ice. And now look at RedOut or Fast Racing Neo. Everything look slick and overly clean. Shiny metal surfaces, sci-fi lights, empty and sterile environtments. Mostly in a desert or any other simple boring places. I think they should approach the aesthetics like as if they are making a Gran Turismo or Asetto Corsa, only anti-gravity and without wheels. Just like what the video stated in the beginning, it should be F1 but beyond.

[@NMN]

Damn 0:59 *Powerdrome* was a game before it's time, I remember playing it and knowing there was a good game there if only the controls and the framerate were't diabolical.

Been going crazy with RedOut lately.

[@maxwellsmith5627]

Playing f-zero on a crt for the first time made me appreciate it far more, as I didn't have to deal with input lag. A CRT is basically necessary for older games. If all you have is save states, I don't judge you though.

[@victoriazero8869]

You either have cartoon kart racing (Mario Kart, CTR etc) or hyperrealistic racing, because the former has mascot power and the later is supported by real car enthusiast. The ultrafictional yet gritty super high speed racing genre fall out of favor because there's nothing to anchor our mind into. People already gave up on flying car and hoverboards.

[@Mx64MaxyImpress]

WipEout is probably the most unique racing genre, racing without car with that futuristic feels ahead of its time, had a blast especially playing Pure & Pulse

[@KtmBowAndDavincifan]

2023 players knows that this is asphalt 9 before in the sponsor

Looking at your list, I don't think I'd consider Distance an AG racer. I guess you can fly so it's anti-gravity in that sense, but it plays very differently from other AG games. One that I didn't see on your list but could be is Break Arts and Break Arts 2. You're driving mechs, not cars, but the gameplay is pure AGR.

[@Stedman75]

0:44 I just yelled at my screen... I cant believe i never saw the connection between F1 racing and F-Zero, being called F0 but spelled out, until you just said it right now. JFC smh my head... im shocked it took me 30 years to understand why it was called that....

Great video, as usual. I have to say though, if you think Super Mario Kart is inferior to F Zero you must not ever play versus or time trials. Super Mario Kart and the GBA sequel Super Circuit are still some of the tightest racing games ever. Roads made of cheese and banjo music can't erase it. BTW, I also substitute my own music. In Super Circuit I recommend the music of Stratovarious.

By now, everyone should treats sponsors as sponsors and nothing more. It's not an ideology someone gets behind or has to get behind. They pay you to give a shoutout, you do it, you get your money. The viewer should take responsibility and do their own research and rely on their own decisions. You know how many times I watched sponsorships for RAID SHADOW LEGENDS or NordVPN? Hundreds. You know how many times I thought about getting either of those products? Zero, because I can use my own head to think for myself and treat these things exactly as they are.
