WipEout - Through the Ages - Intro Movies

[@Superjeepdad1]

RIP Studio Liverpool. 2048 was the last game before they declared bankruptcy, and then close down. We hope that someone will revive this great series.

[@ScarletFlames1]

Superjeepdad1 They remade a new studio under, the new franchise is called Formula Fusion. Check it out on steam. Yes, Wipeout is coming to PC, and it's from people who were actually the heart and soul of the wipeout games we loved. FYI, Release date: Q2 2016

[@HellfireWZ]

+ScarletFlames1 R8 Games have absolutely nothing to do with Studio Liverpool. Several of them were members of Psygnosis Leeds and worked on Wipeout 3, but there are no SL staff working there.

[@ScarletFlames1]

Those are only the ones they can confirm, the ones that are still under contracts for other companies will be joining them later on. They hinted heavily at their core team being made up of the people who developed it. And even if it's "just" of those from wip3out, it doesn't change anything from what I said.

[@tellemking4507]

My first wipeout game was Pure 2048 was my first vita game. When I read this comment I started to cry

[@Superjeepdad1]

ScarletFlames1 Though, they "hinted" that they will be joining them later on. We might never know if some of the staff from SL might join R8 and develop the game. Thats why Formula Fusion is a different game from the wipeout series. The gameplay, i looked at some of the prototypes myself, it handles simillarily to the wipeout games, but differently. I feel like its SLOWER than Phantom in HD/Fury. Though im getting off topic. The first part does effect the "hinting" part of ScarletFlame1's part.

[@Xenodragon11]

i found a wipeout pure psp game laying out in a mcdonalds, it was on the floor so i put it in my psp and i kept it and fell in love.

[@llauoylliklliwi970]

[@qirex8680]

U lucky basterd

[@SonKunSama]

Hey man, that was my copy!

[@alabaster1913]

The earlier games had an industrial, almost dystopian, feel to them. But starting with Wipeout Pure in 2005 they began to look much cleaner and more minimalistic. The older games tended to go with a hardcore techno/rave inspired soundtrack, but latterly drum and bass is much more prevalent. I like the soundtrack from the very first video best, but imo the intro from 2048 is pretty much the best opening for any video game ever.

[@selarom2018]

It very nicely fits with the story. After the big boom of AG racing in 2048, big companies wanted to hop on the hypetrain and make a huge profit by upgrading the weapons and plagued the scene with super reckless and dangerous combat racing. Until the man who created the technology stepped in, declared it sacrilege, and threw AG racing back to it's roots. To see some super fast aircraft go super fast. And maybe shoot each other.

[@CLIDgeneral1]

Yeah it in my opinion celebrates the history of racing

[@HellfireWZ]

The 2048 intro is symbolic, it's not meant to fit the timeline

[@hotarushinpei4966]

Yeah. As awesome as the intros in all the previous Wipeout games and the Gran Turismo games are, all they do are just show off all the awesome cars you're probably gonna drive. The intro in 2048 is all about the evolution of cars themselves, celebrating all the progress we've made with them, and preparing us for the progress we're going to make with cars in the future. The song even reflects it.

[@AgentSquirrelA]

@@hotarushinpei4966 it's an emotional intro for sure. DJ Fresh and Sian Evans' Louder just puts the finishing touches on what I consider one of the best intros ever made.

[@mi12no]

@@hotarushinpei4966 it’s also showcasing the surfaces they evolve to drive on. Dirt to asphalt to pavement to metal and finally skyscrapers.

[@ChrisSmout]

"A ball bounces; A pin drops; A man falls. Gravity is the glue which binds us to our planet. We are about to apply the solvent which will free our species forever". Good memories of all three of the PS1 WipEout titles

[@kaestralblades]

I have an idea for a "levitation engine", I call it magneto inertial propulsion. If it works and I become famous, I'm probably going to say this quote when it's first demonstrated, and only wipeout fans will get it.

[@dancoulson6579]

I remember reading that in the Wip3out manual on the car ride home from town after buying it. I remember bursting through the front door, putting the TV and PS1 straight on, and sitting on that game for hours. I still play Wip3out to this day - it never gets old.

[@lonelyrobin7576]

@@bignatec1000 Tell me about it :0

[@DatOneCat]

I tear up every time I watch the 2048 intro. It's just soo beautiful. The music in sync with the evolution of motorsports in that universe with the diagrams and the vehicles morphing into what became the early competition AG ships. It's soooo good.

[@williamnichols2067]

None of these intros can compare to Wip3out's intro into the team logo scene 3:42 - 4:14. That has always been beautifully intelligent, yet haunting at the same time. Next in line maybe Pure's intro. The rest are still all great in their own right.

[@qirex8680]

Its amazing how each team feels so different and alive from each other

[@gtrpaceteacher8775]

Fusion for that dark underground racing feel I mean I like the ship designs they look real and early with the wires hanging out

[@Pokaroquai]

Fusion: ya forgot that one time I made an intro and proceeds to go way darker than the first 3 games?

[@Bobban]

that Wipeout Pure opening is absolutely fantastic

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

The intro and the work of Designers Republic in Wip3out is just fantastic. Amazing, really.

[@Tigrriis]

2 year late reply but honestly, TDR really killed it. the design of wipeout is really something special

[@JTFlamerider]

I like how Pure frames the themes as a bright, idealistic resurgence; not just from Fusion but from the series in general up to that point, which was pretty damn gritty all things considered.

[@llauoylliklliwi970]

Flamerider pure plays 100 years after fusion and 3

[@MentalParadox]

Ila, we know.

[@eldritchtoilets210]

WipEout 3 intro is my favorite, its originality and the designs choices within it made this short clip a very memorable one not only for the WipEout series but for video games in general, in my opinion.

[@llauoylliklliwi970]

L'indécis de nature yes, it shows all teams, but pure ist awsome.

[@mucy2807]

[@MattCraneCustoms]

[@danutorr]

2048 takes my breath away every time. so much energy...

[@nanoman172]

Funny how it went from looking Abe's Oddysee grungy to Ratchet & Clank clean as the years go by.

[@mi12no]

Ratchet and clank used to be the same grunge haha

[@chrispacheco8590]

I recall the first Wipeout intro sequence looking so sharp due to the PlayStation ability to do FMV so well that I thought it was in realtime, the Wipeout 3 intro is definitely my favorite it just screams Designers Republic, just awesome.

[@JamiePryke]

Gotta admit I started on Pure and loved the series ever since. It's just such a well rounded game that knows exactly what it is. The racing is fast, complex and skillful. Such a joy to master.

[@fredfredburger5150]

Did you play Wipeout 2097? If not go and do so now!

[@hootoftheowl.]

I started on fury

[@GrayOlson]

Man I remember turning on and off my PSP to watch the Pure open over and over LOL. Too good.

[@davidgutierrez8297]

is it just me or do you also hope they would make a game using the cars that are shown before the hoverships in the last trailer for 2048

[@llauoylliklliwi970]

david gutierrez i love them too

[@Jp2166]

they actually thought about doing that.

[@Reptilligator]

Rollcage (Or GRIP)

[@brucelombardo]

Rollcage Stage 2 was amazing. The rerelease on PC called Grip, not so much.

[@DatOneCat]

@@brucelombardo GRIP isn't a re-release. It's a spiritual successor of the Rollcage series.

[@InternationalBoardsOfPigeons]

Wipeout 3 is my favourite, if only for the minimalist art vignettes with each team.

[@neonvortex]

half the reason I love wip3out so much is the design LOL

[@Totone56]

Damn, the Wip3out intro is timeless. The Designer's Republic really did create something special with this whole game. Brilliant.

[@freekw4]

First wipeout game I played was the third one. I got it at my local game shop for 9 bucks and the music is what kept me playing it for so long now that I'm older and have a better grasp on games and lore as a whole I appreciate the series that much more.

[@NebLleb]

My personal favourite opening is the one from the original 'WipEout'. There's just something about an AG ship being armed and fueled by robots whilst Cold Storage's music plays in the background that makes me excited.

[@flexor212000]

5:41 that intro note/tone. Reminds me of launch PSP and mind blowing experience of that kind of sound/graphics on a portable.

[@ububububububububub1667]

that's what I was thinking

[@Matt-jc2ml]

I always thought it was impressive that such a small device could overpower the N64 after just 8 years and be small enough to fit in your pocket. Now even a high end PC wouldn't have that kind of leap over a console in 8 years. Moores law in effect

[@Deses]

Bigs ups to The Designers Republic for creating the incredible WipEout graphic style.

[@MEKKANNOID]

It would be interesting to play a racing game with the cars just before the Wipeout style craft. With the AG tires.

[@richardauthement3105]

William Nichols the wall-riders.

[@FoxtrotGolfLima]

a game like Midnight Club but with those A-G tires would sell hard

Technically, that would be Rollcage. Or atleast now, it would be GRIP.

With the Michelin tires on Feisar and other cars. And Pirelli on Piranha (Pir-Hana) and other cars. With any sponsored car brand signs.

[@cloudwind23]

Wip3out. For 1999 those effects were really outstanding. It's still a niche to see such animated graphic design. These series were beyond there time every release.

[@jackal1743]

2097 was my first game. literally when i was a child that was the first game i played. Psygnosis was an extremely ambitious studio and i loved the aesthetic they gave 2097. Wish games would take note and be just as ambitious.

Played all except Wipeout Fusion (because I never owned a PS2). Currently own Pulse/Pure/2048 on my PSP thru Vita, and HD/Fury on PS3 (and Vita expansion). I remember playing many of these when they first came out and being blown away. Anyone remember unlocking the Mars track in the first Wipeout? Lol that brings back memories. I really wish they did bring back a lot more tracks from the Pure/Pulse to HD/Fury.

Wip3out was developed at the Leeds Studio, which was closed down in 2001. Nicky Westcott created both the intros for 2097 and Wip3out.

[@osmada]

I like the eerie tone of WO3 but nothing beats the intensity and rawness of the 2097 intro, it's perfect for the game. Fusion tried to do it again and went way overboard.

[@spanishkat4194]

The intro of wipeout 2097 or XL with the song of the future sound of london was EPIC!!!

[@mehmarcus1995]

Personal favourite wipEout intros from worst to best Fusion: Feels far too in your face and "edgy", with the constant cuts between the animations of the drivers turning their necks 90 degrees and cuts to the same cannon firing over again. 3: The first of the good intros, Feels like a racing accident slowed down and reversed cut between footage of racing it's good for building uncertainty. and the animated team intros are really cool at the end 2097: BEEP BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ BEEP. Grating song and epileptic flashing with cuts of a tense race and setting in-between a countdown to a checkpoint with contender elimination Pure: 3d rendering of a Feisar ship getting built from the inside out with neat track. really really cool. WipEout: The built up to a race with a very 'built from your garage' feel with pounding bass that leads up to decent audio mixing as the countdown to the race starts Pulse: Rapid, smooth editing with how the computer readout rapidly shifts through babble and graphics straight into footage of ships racing with unobstructive visuals that enhance the feeling of high-speed racing with sci-fi technology. with probably the best song of the intros. 2048: Second best track, great mixing, fantastic transition between racing vehicles up to a long scene with F1 cars, finally building up to a Feisar ship suddenly whooshing in the sky

2048 intro looks sick, but makes a lot of holes in lore. We have a ~1930 Feisar racecar prototype... but Feisar was formed due to issues with an AG team in Europe. Next we can see a ~1964 F1 car (looks a lot like Ferrari 1512) in Feisar colors. After all of that we get to see another F1 car from ~2011 in Feisar colors, but this time surrounded by other racecars in Auricom and Qirex liveries... but these teams were not formed until 2030’s!

[@HellfireWZ]

2048 was my first WipEout game i owned. That intro was amazing for a game on a failed system

[@Mugthraka]

The ONLY racing game that gave me real adrenaline rush, even in the PSX era. Racing games before that was more, dunno dull?, some had complex tracks with lots of turns, so you had to have some reflexes, but thats it. Wipeout was the very first racing game i've played that really gave me adrenaline rushes and a sens of extreme speed, its a sensation that i never had before and never will have outside a Wipeout game. Plus at the time the Techno/trance tracks where on point, and it was relevant with the times, since it was then that the Thunderdome albums and Hardcore/trance genres was the most populars. I would play all day on Wipeout 2097 with only Firestarter as the soundtrack...
