mcbpete Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It would seem unfair to be pissing on their grave but in my opinion they turned the Wipeout franchise into somewhat of a watered down version of it's former self. I mean this seemed 100 times less exciting than this (It may be the whole tDR involvement that biased my opinion on the older releases.) Though to be fair they steered things in the right direction with the PS3 version. EDIT: I'm an idiot, I didn't realise Studio Liverpool were the new name for the Psygnosis team.

Rubin Farr Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Total shame, Psygnosis had the bomb cinematic intros for PS1, and The Designers Republic to boot! They were unstoppable circa '96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mirezzi Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Psygnosis really was the shit. This is sad. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I wonder why they shuttered the studio? Wipeout 2048 on the Vita did well (dunno about actual sales, and considering it's the Vita...) Hopefully the talents there were relocated to other studios within Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELLOW Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They made this sweet game for the PSX called Destruction Derby, pretty decent soundtrack and a fun little game. Plus Wipeout had a pretty awesome soundtrack at the time, with The Designers Republic to boot RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wipeout was the first game I ever played and loved on the Playstation. Cue Barbra Streisand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 i have been an avid player of wipeout games for many years and i still get a lot of play time (multiplayer anyway) from wipeout HD on PS3. would have totally continued to support the franchise and bought future versions - as i'm sure so would a lot of other people. cannot understand why they have shut down studio liverpool :( RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirezzi Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah, Drstruction Derby 2 was an absolute classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wipeout 3 was fucking awesome. I put so many hours into that game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yy0RGTaWYM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Npoess Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Dug out this old classic tome, it's been a while but the Wipeout memories are still there. (Click for larger versions) Amazing. Hard to believe that artwork was made in 1995 (right?). It looks very contemporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th555 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Cold Storage is awesome. I really loved wipeout pure, one of my first psp games and with an awesome soundtrack. Pulse (also on psp) was neat too. It's a shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasondonervan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V974MkN7v94 Probably one of my all-time favourite Wipeout tunes, which is from my favourite game in the series too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th555 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Amazing. Hard to believe that artwork was made in 1995 (right?). It looks very contemporary. Back then they called it "futuristic" :) And xpander is a nice tune, one of my favs also. I used to have them all, downloaded piece by piece from some strange game ost site. The rest of the sasha tunes aren't nearly as good though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
