I don't think kids nowadays can properly understand how huge a shift it really was. As a 14 year old going from playing 2D Mario on the SNES, to buying the PSX and WipEout on launch in september 1995. It absolutely blew my mind. Suddenly you had in your bedrom this crazy game with cutting edge 3D graphics, a mature, dystopian atmosphere and a killer licensed soundtrack. I mean, at that time I didn't even know techno as a genre existed! It felt like a piece of the future, it really did. The game single handedly got me into the clubbing scene, DJing and graphic design. What a wonderful, wonderful time it was.
I remember it well. I worked in a casino back then, and I used to go back home after a night shift and ignite the PS1 and play Wipeout (and DOOM) until sunrise. It wasn't until 1998 when I got my own PS1 and then it was TombRaider II. When I got my first PC in 2002, it was all about Quake 3 online. Good times.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Have always loved the music that accompanied the game as well. Although, sometimes I would take the disk out once loaded and pop in a music CD just to vibe on something different.
I don't say this everytime just because nostalgia kicks in. But I seriously think the whole style of this game was ahead of its time. Intro, sound, everything. Even the cover art.
Funny that i played all of those nostalgic games, i had it all.. thats why i am so fuckin smart, fast, well my body and mind is like its expanded on drugs
I've yet to play this first entry, but I have played 2097, and 3: Special Edition. The former is solid, and the latter is a masterclass of racing game design.
@@CoLD.SToRAGE Your music for the wipeout series is legendary! I remember picking up a 2nd copy of the game at some point just so I could use it as the “official soundtrack album” cd that I’d listen to when not playing the game. 😎
September 1995, the launch of the PlayStation = legendary memories of Wipeout. And Wipeout 2097 was a legendary sequel. 25 year on, it's shocking how fast time goes.
I remember being totally blown away by this game, I used to have it on the Saturn though... well still have it somewhere. Bought the ps1 version yesterday and it is such a tough game! Way tougher than I thought it would be.
Presentation of ps music is music to my ears, listen to them many times and never tired I hear it. WipeOut was one of the games with that extreme my ps1 along with Tekken and Ridge racer, better impossible to baptize such trio machine.
@@MrMoorkey Especially seeing as he clearly has an English accent, and the game was developed in the UK. Maybe only the continental/non English PAL release didn't have an announcer.
I love the plunge into the tunnel on the first track. This game is one of the most nostalgic games for me. I absolutely sucked at games, so I'm pretty sure the first track was the only track I ever got to play. The vehicle they used was also the one I would always pick for no reason other than it was red and yellow
+Lucas Boyle It's an Analog twist-like Pad from Namco. There's also a clone of it from Interact called the UltraRacer (which I have)...both make the turns in WipEout much easier, smoother and more natural to play the game using the NeGcon/UltraRacer.
This is one of the first games I got for my Playstation along with Resident Evil. I played the hell out of this. I love the whole series. Loving Omega Collection now on PS4.
the wipeout vehicle's graphics look like rally cars and their shape is perfect, I love the music in this game, if thy recreated this game in 4k without changing to much of the looks of the craft or courses or the music, keep the soundtrack for sure, I'd buy it and a new console to play it, maybe a special wipeout controller?
Well the playstation 4 has the newest version called Wipeout Hd collection and the PlayStation 4 has a VR connecting device 600 bucks and you can play this in VR as well on playstation VR
+Zontar82 did you play Wip3out on PAL or NTSC? I played a ton of the North American version and it had an insta-kill quake weapon bug, which I always wondered if it was present in the PAL version. Also the manual was printed in god-awful light cyan text on a white background. But otherwise the game was awesome!
Maybe it was just a quirk of the NTSC version, but if you got hit by the Quake it would sometimes do 80-100% damage. This could happen in both split screen or link mode.
For me the second was and is the best. Wipeout 3 was bit more polished but added nothing new, the design was not as inspired and it started to get this "copy of a copy of a" feeling
@gameotaku The second game is good, but has a few bad design choices, doesn't control very well, and a somewhat unstable framerate. 3 is the better game, simply because those excessively dark tunnels are gone.
My first gaming console, my first game... PS1 is sth to remember... Wipeout, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy, Grand Turismo, Descent, Metal Gear Solid....good ol' times.
They don't make them like they use to. Does anyone else get that feeling where you wish these style of games were back again? So one minute you'd play this then later maybe a game of cool boarders and so on?
Pilot was ridiculous. The whole world starts spinning with every manoeuvre and bump. would have liked to use it because I was killing it on rapier class but it was to punishing if you made a mistake.
I think I used to have this game as a kid, or at least something VERY similar, also triangle-like cars that were afloat, you also had abilites like dropping nails or so on
I had much fun playing the PS1's Wipeouts with a NegCon. It seemed like a perfect fit to me: A futuristic game with a futuristic, unconventional controller - as if both were meant for each other. Worked great. :)
That dystopian feel is what I felt was missing in later games. The original trilogy, at least the first two, had a very distinct cyberpunk feel. The later sequels almost feel to smooth, and that's including the soundtrack. The rawness of the original game is gone. Still love the omega collection though - I only wish they would create a proper new one for the PS5!
When we played this at Psygnosis, it was interesting to see that most people who had a driving licence and drove cars or rode motorbikes would play in cockpit, and those who didn't would play looking down on the ship.
Let's not forget to give love to The Designers Republic, which contributed on all graphic design on the game, including packaging, visual branding, iconography, etc.
It’s also notoriously hard as well. Better keep up and take the riskier path or you will not see the other opponent ships for the rest of the race, or worse, fail to qualify.
Ah this game brings back so many memories for me when I got my playstation a few weeks after launch but I remember my friends mum let me order it out of her catalogue so I could pay weekly it had 3 games. This, Mortal Kombat, and jumping flash two memory cards and 2 controllers for £379 took me ages to pay of at £5 a week but man I thought I was such a badass 😅😅

that was down to the designers republic

Yes !.. That's why i and we love it bro ;)
Would make a cool movie
The whole Sony + Psygnosis + Wipeout intro still sends shiver down my spine, almost 25 years later...
And the first time I heard about Psygnosis was a movie game tie-in.
Still also gave me tons of thrills even in 2024. The Sony + Psygnosis Intro Screens still iconic.😊
The music was 50% of the experience.❤ Remember me and my friend playing this for 24h straight... oh the days...
Those musics from WipEout 1995 still are masterpiece almost 30 years after release.
One of the games that truly stood the test of time.
still holds up well
Yep. Along with so many others like GRAN TURISMO 1 & 2, FORMULA 1 1995, 97, 99, TEST DRIVE LE MANS (PS1 & DREAMCAST), and Gran Turismo 3.
one of the coolest video games ever with some of the best video game music ever.
Surprisingly, Lanzhu Zhong also love those musics from WipEout 1.
good old days wipeout was and still one of the best ps1 games imo
PSX.
@@Bacon4Rashers nope, PS1
I've yet to play this first entry, but I have played 2097, and 3: Special Edition. The former is solid, and the latter is a masterclass of racing game design.
Yeah mate ...its the music that does it for me! But yeah so much nostalgia....an wow what a fucking good job they done with wipeout hd!
Facts bro!!
Breakbeat hardcore (early rave) + Acid trance = fucking amazing soundtrack
Thanks for the upvote dude!
@@CoLD.SToRAGE Your music for the wipeout series is legendary! I remember picking up a 2nd copy of the game at some point just so I could use it as the “official soundtrack album” cd that I’d listen to when not playing the game. 😎
@@CoLD.SToRAGE29½ years after release, the OSTs in WipEout 1995 are as masterpiece as all songs from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club! 🤩👍
Made with love from the defunct yet legendary company from Liverpool, Pysgnosis
I played this games so much. Years ahead of its time, music is still the best ive ever heard in any game.
This game is what got me into techno and electronica in the mid 90s
One of the most impressive launch games ever
Definitely. Along with FIFA 96, DOOM, NFL GAMEDAY, and NHL FACEOFF.
This game was so advanced for its day. The music, the graphics, the gameplay. Such a classic.
I ripped the soundtrack from this game and played it in my car system with subs. Sounded insane! 💯
Love it! :-D
And now we can finally play this in VR. What a time to be alive.
Thumbs up if you're here for the music!
I ripped the music from the game CD and now have it in my collection :D
I have had this in my music collection for 20 years. The music was done by Cold Storage.
I think the heavy metal rules over this boring techno music (cof cof F-Zero X).
This is not the OST. It was replaced by this for licensing reasons.
@@DavidKingNT Trance its not boring.
F-Zero meets Mario Kart......what a great genre this spawned. Classic game right here!
The creators were said to have been inspired by Mario Kart, whilst drunk. The name “WipEout” comes from the song “Wipe Out” by the Surfaris.
i always loved the wipeout series. the gameplay and the soundtrack is f**king unique.
Younger I was hypnotized by this game...
September 1995, the launch of the PlayStation = legendary memories of Wipeout. And Wipeout 2097 was a legendary sequel. 25 year on, it's shocking how fast time goes.
The peak is the Special Edition release.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 which could never be played on NTSC in the US. but yes, wip3out 3 was epic.
Loved this, I was terrible at it but a great era for games. When you were expected to play for fun, not monetisation
I remember being totally blown away by this game, I used to have it on the Saturn though... well still have it somewhere. Bought the ps1 version yesterday and it is such a tough game! Way tougher than I thought it would be.
Nostalgia, memories...thanks to great music. This was my favourite game in 1998.
"Mess with the best, die like the rest."
Hackers such an underrated movie
Zero Cool ☆
I downloaded the whole soundtrack playlist so I could listen to it offline at work, definitely worth it.
Presentation of ps music is music to my ears, listen to them many times and never tired I hear it.
WipeOut was one of the games with that extreme my ps1 along with Tekken and Ridge racer, better impossible to baptize such trio machine.
Amazing how the music reverbs in the tunnel. :) This is some proper sound engineering.
Definatly a game that's stood the test of time. I'm still playing in 2020.
It's absolutely timeless. Still feels more fresh than any other game, and that's including Wipeout HD.
respect to Psygnosis for this optical and musical masterpiece.
We miss you Psygnosis.
Really Psygnosis was the POWER BEHINED AMIGA
Such tight controls. This was fun but hard on some tracks. And the music was awesome.
PS1...This game...This soundtrack...Life changing at age 25. I wanna play it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
The announcer guy is great.
THRAY, TOO, WUN, GEW!
in the european PAL version, there is no announcer :-(
@@Raoul1311 Is this one of those 'Mandela Effect' things?
I distinctly remember hearing the announcer, and I live in the UK!
@@MrMoorkey exactly^^
@@MrMoorkey Especially seeing as he clearly has an English accent, and the game was developed in the UK. Maybe only the continental/non English PAL release didn't have an announcer.
@@Raoul1311 we miss the guy who shout 3 2 1 GO!!!
I was 5 when i played this for the first time.
Still play it to this day, because it's one my favorite childhood games.
Had only a demo as a kid but i loved it and somewhat 16 years later im playing wipeout omega and i felt right at home
I love the plunge into the tunnel on the first track. This game is one of the most nostalgic games for me. I absolutely sucked at games, so I'm pretty sure the first track was the only track I ever got to play. The vehicle they used was also the one I would always pick for no reason other than it was red and yellow
Amazing, I haven't played this game in 20 years but I still know the maps by heart
RAWKIT! MOINE! SHOCKWAVE! MISSILE!!!
My voice pitched down, LOL!
Ah. My introduction to electronica music. Memories.
Incognito this truly was the golden age of techno/edm
Yeah... even though I wrote the music, it still takes me back to those crazy days! ;-)
Mine was streets of rage 2 for the sega genesis
@@CoLD.SToRAGE what drumachine were you using in the 90s?
oh yes! I remember buying Orbital - In Sides one year later. Blew my mind!
I played this on the Saturn back in the 90's.
Holy shit - this version is so much better D:
The Saturn version wasn’t terrible but it was typical of conversions of PS1 games at the time. I believe it only used one of the Saturn’s processors.
If you guys aren't using a NEGCON for this, then you truly are the gods of gaming.
Negcon?
+Lucas Boyle It's an Analog twist-like Pad from Namco. There's also a clone of it from Interact called the UltraRacer (which I have)...both make the turns in WipEout much easier, smoother and more natural to play the game using the NeGcon/UltraRacer.
Fixed. Anything else I should fix for this comment from February 2016? I want to make sure before I leave it be.
I have finished the game several times in every way, and I used just the standard PS1 pad.
I played with the original controller. One of my friends got the NEGCON to get beat my high scores :D
This game is the peak of culture. Everything else is downhill.
This is one of the first games I got for my Playstation along with Resident Evil. I played the hell out of this. I love the whole series. Loving Omega Collection now on PS4.
oh boi the childhood flashbacks coming back when the psx booted
Wow, the memories. I used to play nothing but this game for weeks at a time.
i have been waiting for this thank u for the years of awesome
That Origin Play Station starting sound. great
6:00 Lifeforce Tenka Commercial. Was a great game, too
I remember when I first saw this intro at a friend's house just when the PS1 had come out. And I was absolutely blown away 😮
the wipeout vehicle's graphics look like rally cars and their shape is perfect, I love the music in this game, if thy recreated this game in 4k without changing to much of the looks of the craft or courses or the music, keep the soundtrack for sure, I'd buy it and a new console to play it, maybe a special wipeout controller?
maybe VR headset and controls
and add better speed and acceleration
the music in the game was mostly done by 90s british electronic artists such as orbital
DEVUNK88 well, Wipeout Omega has just been released 😉
Well the playstation 4 has the newest version called Wipeout Hd collection and the PlayStation 4 has a VR connecting device 600 bucks and you can play this in VR as well on playstation VR
What a console. What a game. State of art
wip3out,the third one,is still the best in wipeout history,hands down
+Zontar82 did you play Wip3out on PAL or NTSC? I played a ton of the North American version and it had an insta-kill quake weapon bug, which I always wondered if it was present in the PAL version.

played the PAL version,i think the manual was all in grey-ish color,and i can't remember that instakill weapon at all :P

Don’t know how many people realized this, but you could put the PlayStation disc in your CD player and listen to the soundtrack straight away
oh man did that all the time! This game put me onto techno! I remember in 96 I bought In Sides from Orbital on release, what a classic!
@@cesorumsame
Great game! Miss this one, one of my all time PS1 favorites.
I remember seeing this for the first time and was completely blown away.
One of my first PS1 Games :D
I would put the disc into my car just so I could listen to the soundtrack as I went to school! This game was the start of my love for techno music!
My first gaming console, my first game... PS1 is sth to remember... Wipeout, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy, Grand Turismo, Descent, Metal Gear Solid....good ol' times.
Still the best Wipeout into to this day!
They don't make them like they use to. Does anyone else get that feeling where you wish these style of games were back again? So one minute you'd play this then later maybe a game of cool boarders and so on?
I'll have flashbacks to this game when I die. No regrets.
This is played from the pilot POV, I always played from the outside POV. I found the pilot POV distracting and dizzying
Stephanie Drake Pilot POV is too shaky for me, I can't concentrate on the driving.
I always turned it on when I let people try it in the shop, then watched as they did backflips and shit while trying to turn. It was awesome! :o)
Pilot was ridiculous. The whole world starts spinning with every manoeuvre and bump. would have liked to use it because I was killing it on rapier class but it was to punishing if you made a mistake.
I think he just messed with pilot here because these are easier levels

Checking this after playing on holy Saturn but.. weaps still don't generate fire no splosions! Why!?
Thank you very much for the nostalgia! 💯❤️
WipEout was one of the killer apps for me on PS1 back when I was a kid..
Friggin game was, and still is, excellent.
this is a certified hood classic
Wipeout (C) Psygnosis All Rights Reserved 1995.1997

I have played Wipeout since it was released. I'm 76 now. It keeps you sharp.
Who else is here because of WipEout Omega Collection? (I’m a tad late on playing that game.)
I love it and race every day. What's your ps4 screen name? I'll look u up to see if u want to race?
Wipeout? More like “Really good, futuristic, and far out!” 👍 😮
1:09 OMG i love gabber music
Holy shit this game aged well
I had much fun playing the PS1's Wipeouts with a NegCon.
It seemed like a perfect fit to me: A futuristic game with a futuristic, unconventional controller - as if both were meant for each other.
Worked great. :)
Korodera has a real blade runner / dystopian vibe to it. Shame this is missing in later games.

The later sequels almost feel to smooth, and that's including the soundtrack. The rawness of the original game is gone. Still love the omega collection though - I only wish they would create a proper new one for the PS5!
What a great game! did you recongnized a slight pitch to left or right when you hit the sidewalls? Its just for a couple turns.
This was a magical time and a magical game!!
Great game who just shows up how great times the 90s was.
I played this game (110 DM) my first video game control & my third girlfriend, she was a baby, sleeping, working, fucking, eating, sleeping.
Nice... But why First Person View? I think for a longplay, third person is way better!
Third person is easier. First person is rificulous but fun. this is the easy levels so he's just messing with first person
When we played this at Psygnosis, it was interesting to see that most people who had a driving licence and drove cars or rode motorbikes would play in cockpit, and those who didn't would play looking down on the ship.
This game was really released in 1995? Wow...
one of the greatest games ever made
Impressive flying...game for the ages back then!!!
I remember being a little kid walking walking around the mall 205 in Oregon as a kid when this game first came out and it was amazing to me
Let's not forget to give love to The Designers Republic, which contributed on all graphic design on the game, including packaging, visual branding, iconography, etc.
i had this as a Demo
I miss this game so much
SilverStream looks plain awesome... maybe Sebenco Climb took it as it’s inspiration?
It’s also notoriously hard as well. Better keep up and take the riskier path or you will not see the other opponent ships for the rest of the race, or worse, fail to qualify.
i never noticed before watching your longplay that the background music is the same as in Destruction Derby.
This should have been a virtual reality racing game. Would be hell of an upkeep though
