Wipeout
- September 29, 1995
- Psygnosis
Psygnosis created a roller-coaster ride of a futuristic anti-gravity racing game, which ascended above other September 1995 launch titles as an early technical showcase of the graphical horsepower of the PSone. WipEout peaked even higher with a sense of sci-fi style and clubbing chic through graphic design by The Designers Republic and in-house musical compositions by CoLD SToRAGE, which easily ride high alongside well-known dance acts. The only dips setting it in decline are an inescapable ageing process, and the lack of multiplayer. The six main tracks are boosted by a faster, tougher Rapier class difficulty setting and a secret FireStar venue. There is purity in this game, bolstered by attention to detail, so it built a dependable track structure on which further additions in the series could climb.
