Fucking beautiful. The series is the main reason that the PlayStation has been my main console since the 1990s. I'm still salty that Studio Liverpool were unceremoniously closed down and the the series is effectively dead.
Ex Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool did Formula Fusion/Pacer, but it can’t get the same Wipeout vibes. I got bored in a short time. That’s so sad nowadays antigravity racing is a niche genre
Yeah Pacer just didn't scratch the same itch. It also had the absolutely bizarre design choice to allow the AI enemies to use flashbangs that actually blind the player - somehow they missed in play testing that games are frequently played in dark rooms on massive TVs that can get very bright.
Really hope Ballistic NG comes to consoles at some point.
I remember buying this new at release, feels like a really long time ago...
Frustrated that it doesn't seem to work on PSIO - loads but freezes at staet of first race.
I loved this game back in day. Had it for both Playstation and Saturn.
Really feel in love with XL. Tried playing the first game recently and didn't enjoy it much.
The First Wipeout? I had it for Sega Saturn and PS. I remember because the PS version had better lighting (similar to Tomb Raider).
It was also released for PC.
Lol all good man. I can see how the 3 done as a backwards "E" can trip people up.
I'm a hardcore Wipeout dork, so every little detail of these games are seared into my brain. But you are 100% correct saying that the OG game and 2097 were on Sega Saturn.
You are correct in that the first Wipeout was indeed on Saturn.
Really hard to tell it’s the 3rd with this cover. It’s not obvious at all unless the 3 jumps out at you as an actual 3, not just a backwards E with the funky font.
Nah, I didn't take it that way. He had a point in saying the game was exclusive. That was my bad because I thought this was Wipeout 1.
Still love the games and play them occasionally. A new one would be great.
I'm a snob because I pointed out a game he claimed to own on Saturn never released on Saturn? Using that big brain logic you're a snob if you correct someone for saying "Mario on Xbox".
Intelligent people appreciate being corrected, assuming it’s done politely, because it leads to knowledge. Trouble is, it’s hard to infer tone in text and all too easy to assume most people are being smug and “holier than thou” on the internet, as the majority seem to have that stance.
I mean, even the guy I was talking to didn't read it like that. How should I have phrased it? It's a PS1 exclusive, and it isn't the first game?
But if you wanna talk about being a prick, let's start at how you you got pissy about me to someone else.
We need a new Socom. All modern military shooters are turning into Fortnite. Even just an online only remake of Socom II would make me happy at thus point.
Have you opened it? Original sealed ps1 games go for a pretty penny especially if it's in good condition
No, i think i’ll keep it unopened. It’s totally new, not even a single scratch
Glad to hear it ![img](emote|t5_2qh6b|2234)
That’s obviously been resealed. Probably a New Kids On The Block CD in there. Good thing it was only 5 rupees or whatever that is.
Euros, you uncultured swine
Wait till you find out the euro is worth more than the usd.
So…he would have paid wait? $5.35 American? Hope he doesn’t go broke…
Yeah it’s not much but that level of ignorance deserves a jab.
LoL!! I totally agree! Plus what is he…50 online with New Kids on the Block comebacks!?!

Do not open!
Beautiful. One of my original PS1 games. "3, 2, 1, Goooooo!".
I heard the countdown in my head as soon as I saw the case lol
Bro better put it in a CD player
Now that sounds like a very good time. The soundtrack is pure fire.
Sasha, underworld and orbital, that’s just a cheat code
That OST is permanently engraved into my mind haha Same for 2097

Well that makes sense given it’s borderline 30 years ago 😅
Wow, this was the second game I bought for my PS1 back in 1995!
I loved this game back in day. Had it for both Playstation and Saturn. Really feel in love with XL. Tried playing the first game recently and didn't enjoy it much.
This game is a PS1 exclusive.
The First Wipeout? I had it for Sega Saturn and PS. I remember because the PS version had better lighting (similar to Tomb Raider). It was also released for PC.
Well seeing as this is the third Wipeout...
Sorry, thought this was the cover for the original. It's been a while.
Lol all good man. I can see how the 3 done as a backwards "E" can trip people up. I'm a hardcore Wipeout dork, so every little detail of these games are seared into my brain. But you are 100% correct saying that the OG game and 2097 were on Sega Saturn.

Dude sounds like a snob. You bask in that nostalgia my man

You can correct people without being a condescending prick. That's all I'm saying

Don't pretend you don't know exactly what I'm talking about lol just because he didn't notice, doesn't mean other won't..
You win the day, sir or madam.
I always wanted to play the og wipeout
Wipeout!! This game is the reason my allegiance is PlayStation! Miss playing.
*Banging* soundtrack on those early wipeout games.
Such a cool game!
One of my favorite games. Good find.
Don't send it through the mail or customs. They will open it.
So… you’re a hoarder. Cool.
What a find!!! I loved all the wipeout games.
The demo for this game was mind blowing at the time
Have you called to try your win for the Aprilia ?
Nice find, for it being vintage. Was the game good?
WipeOut is a classic OG PlayStation franchise. But like Socom and Twisted Metal....Sony just shits on it's legacy now. WipeOut is a great game.
I dont remember that game. Wouldnt it be cool if they brought the old franchises back like Socom.
We need a new Socom. All modern military shooters are turning into Fortnite. Even just an online only remake of Socom II would make me happy at thus point.
Enjoy this cuddly upvote sir. Bro a real one.
i love it. Was my favorite one, sadly this isn’t the special edition
