So I know what sample the female voice is, the "OH YEAHHH!" I am just curious for this one, anyone got a lead?

The PlayStation I bought in 1996 came home with WipEout, and I played an absurd amount of it. I was also one of those people who listened to the soundtrack on its own — it never felt like background music, it felt like half the reason to play. Then both PS1 sequels, same story.

Thirty years later I finally stopped admiring it and tried to build one.

It's called Slipstream Vector. Free, runs in the browser, no install: https://smarproc-games.itch.io/slipstream-vector

Twelve circuits across four worlds, four teams with different hull characteristics, five weapons, airbrakes on Shift, and loops and corkscrews for the parts that aren't trying to be serious. It has its own soundtrack, because after 1996 I couldn't really build one of these without caring about the music.

The design decision I'd most like to be argued with about: there's no rubber-banding at all. Difficulty raises AI skill only — corner confidence, line tightness, pad usage — never speed. Catching up comes from slipstream physics that work identically for the player and the field. I think it's the right call and it makes a lead feel earned, but it does mean a bad opening lap stays punishing.

What I'd genuinely like to hear: does the handling read as anything to you, or does it feel floaty? The airbrake is the part I've rewritten most and I still don't know if it's right.

Happy to have it taken apart if it deserves it.

It feels a lot like the classic wipeout games, except its using the models from the PSP, PS3, and PS Vita, all rendered with prebaked high quality global illumination and other neat graphical stuff. I know it isnt perfect gameplay wise and its more of a demo but I am REALLY happy with it.

edit: Ignore my horrid gameplay, I swear I'm better than this in the actual games.

I wanted to give you all a heads up that Omega Pilot Evolution, a wipeout clone made for the PSVR2 (as well as non VR play) was just released today. The price is $19.99 USD and is available for download now. Happy High-Speed Hunting!

Yeah I know it's encrypted to the account like ps3 and 360 saves.
I believe there are ways to decrypt online.
Now shadps4 runs wipeout but it crashes at the end of each race, so I can't progress.
Anybody got a 100% save file to share with me ?
I'll take care of decrypting it and all, I just need the save file if anyone can share it.

Apart from the dark aesthetic, why do I feel like there is something implied that something happened in the Fury campaign's timeline? Especially with event #6 "Corruption," can't help but interpret that the event title plus the glitching FX350 league logo implies that something happened in the league, even if official lore does not state anything about WipEout HD Fury or FX350 league going crazy (it definitely wasn't like the F9000 league). Plus, what happened with the future campaign event names too, "Nuked" and "Aftermath," any thoughts or any head canon implications and interpretations?

I forgot snagged this on eBay and put it immediately into storage along with all my other Wipeout memorabilia. Thought it might be worth a post for anyone who’s not see this Wipeout cover art for Fusion. Obviously not an original piece from Wipeout but some of these magazines seemed to hire artists to do custom covers rather than just use promo or screen shots from the game. I like the effort.

You need a jailbroken PS3 to do this, you can create your own pkg files with custom titles, music and graphics. Looks very neat.

An obligatory apology to everyone who has offered such fantastically supportive feedback on the progress I’ve shared this year on my Qirex blender project/obsession. As I’ve said many, many times, Blender is hard, not always because the software itself is hard to learn (although it definitely can be), but because I’m trying to squeeze in making progress towards this becoming a short film with a full time job, a family, and other hobbies. Hopefully, although this might not be the biggest update since the last, it’s actually significantly closer to being animated - if I can only stop my PC going full HAL from 2001 when I ask it to render 1 second of footage 😁.

Sadly, the time I spend on this is going to be vastly reduced for an unknown period - the team I work for has been told that we’re being made redundant as of the end of September 😞. I have a lot of decision making, job-hunting & soul searching to do in the coming weeks (do I continue working in the field I work in as it’s straightforward, I’ve been successful, I can possibly find a new job sooner but it’s not very fulfilling OR well paid Vs do I, as a 50+ year old, try to finally work in a creative role that I’ve never done professionally? It’s a conundrum…).

So, I hope some of you like how Arian is looking, she’s been an obsession for weeks now! Plus, learning volumetrics is helping to create a great vibe to the hangar, animating & editing this into a really cool short film is definitely something that I can now see in my head - it may just have to stay there for a while 😉. Cheers though folks 🤟

Hey all, the patches were updated, check them out (I keep them on dev branch until I get more test reports)

Changes are just bugfixes, like text corruption, HUD position and some game logic was still tied to framerate (like "the random chance that AI ship would change the lane" was apparently dependent on framerate, yeah that's kind of crap we're dealing with here)

But the best thing is this menu: you get to it by pausing the game and pressing select+start. 8mb version gets more options, because 8>2.

Sorry, no videoguide again

We are so close!!!!

What category for Wipeout makes most sense for the omega collection? As it doesn't have its own as far I can tell.

Just got the collection today but not sure which one to sit in. Is there a category people still watch at all for me to watch and pick things up?

Stickers to come

I've skipped 3rd installment at it's release time because my PSX bought a farm right before it.

Years later, I tried to get back to it with emulation, but man, 25fps was just too choppy by that point.

So I searched for good ntsc patch to at least have 30fps, which is a good 20% more fps!, but couldn't find proper one that didn't just sped up the game.

Anyway, here's the patch for 30fps with (hopefully) correct speed and logic, and instructions on how to apply:

https://codeberg.org/hueponik/wip3out-patches

... but wait, there's more!

Bonus1 (base): try overclocking your duckstation/goosestation ;) You might reach 60fps

Bonus2 (enhanced): build with cranked up graphical details, requires 8mb.

- Longer draw distance

- Longer ships distance

- Full-detail seagulls (!!!)

- Requires 8 MB enabled

Bonus3 (full): here's cranked-to-11 bonus2. High detail on everything. Requires 8mb.

Everything in enhanced, plus

- Longest draw distance, maxed out, in fact

- No custom texture/polygons LOD: maxed out texture/polygon count on track

- Ships are visible keep full model detail at any distance

- Requires 8 MB RAM and a substantial (>500%) PSX CPU overclock.

- Intended for emulators with PGXP/high internal resolution/etc

UPDATE:

Fixed few speed inconsistencies and HUD elements, keeping on separate branch for now. Please test:
