+ScarletFlames1 R8 Games have absolutely nothing to do with Studio Liverpool. Several of them were members of Psygnosis Leeds and worked on Wipeout 3, but there are no SL staff working there.
Those are only the ones they can confirm, the ones that are still under contracts for other companies will be joining them later on. They hinted heavily at their core team being made up of the people who developed it. And even if it's "just" of those from wip3out, it doesn't change anything from what I said.
ScarletFlames1 Though, they "hinted" that they will be joining them later on. We might never know if some of the staff from SL might join R8 and develop the game. Thats why Formula Fusion is a different game from the wipeout series. The gameplay, i looked at some of the prototypes myself, it handles simillarily to the wipeout games, but differently. I feel like its SLOWER than Phantom in HD/Fury. Though im getting off topic. The first part does effect the "hinting" part of ScarletFlame1's part.
Yeah. As awesome as the intros in all the previous Wipeout games and the Gran Turismo games are, all they do are just show off all the awesome cars you're probably gonna drive. The intro in 2048 is all about the evolution of cars themselves, celebrating all the progress we've made with them, and preparing us for the progress we're going to make with cars in the future. The song even reflects it.
@@hotarushinpei4966 it's an emotional intro for sure. DJ Fresh and Sian Evans' Louder just puts the finishing touches on what I consider one of the best intros ever made.
The earlier games had an industrial, almost dystopian, feel to them. But starting with Wipeout Pure in 2005 they began to look much cleaner and more minimalistic. The older games tended to go with a hardcore techno/rave inspired soundtrack, but latterly drum and bass is much more prevalent. I like the soundtrack from the very first video best, but imo the intro from 2048 is pretty much the best opening for any video game ever.
It very nicely fits with the story. After the big boom of AG racing in 2048, big companies wanted to hop on the hypetrain and make a huge profit by upgrading the weapons and plagued the scene with super reckless and dangerous combat racing. Until the man who created the technology stepped in, declared it sacrilege, and threw AG racing back to it's roots. To see some super fast aircraft go super fast. And maybe shoot each other.
"A ball bounces; A pin drops; A man falls. Gravity is the glue which binds us to our planet. We are about to apply the solvent which will free our species forever". Good memories of all three of the PS1 WipEout titles
I have an idea for a "levitation engine", I call it magneto inertial propulsion. If it works and I become famous, I'm probably going to say this quote when it's first demonstrated, and only wipeout fans will get it.
I remember reading that in the Wip3out manual on the car ride home from town after buying it. I remember bursting through the front door, putting the TV and PS1 straight on, and sitting on that game for hours. I still play Wip3out to this day - it never gets old.
None of these intros can compare to Wip3out's intro into the team logo scene 3:42 - 4:14. That has always been beautifully intelligent, yet haunting at the same time. Next in line maybe Pure's intro. The rest are still all great in their own right.
I like how Pure frames the themes as a bright, idealistic resurgence; not just from Fusion but from the series in general up to that point, which was pretty damn gritty all things considered.
I tear up every time I watch the 2048 intro. It's just soo beautiful. The music in sync with the evolution of motorsports in that universe with the diagrams and the vehicles morphing into what became the early competition AG ships. It's soooo good.
WipEout 3 intro is my favorite, its originality and the designs choices within it made this short clip a very memorable one not only for the WipEout series but for video games in general, in my opinion.
Gotta admit I started on Pure and loved the series ever since. It's just such a well rounded game that knows exactly what it is. The racing is fast, complex and skillful. Such a joy to master.
I recall the first Wipeout intro sequence looking so sharp due to the PlayStation ability to do FMV so well that I thought it was in realtime, the Wipeout 3 intro is definitely my favorite it just screams Designers Republic, just awesome.
I always thought it was impressive that such a small device could overpower the N64 after just 8 years and be small enough to fit in your pocket. Now even a high end PC wouldn't have that kind of leap over a console in 8 years. Moores law in effect
First wipeout game I played was the third one. I got it at my local game shop for 9 bucks and the music is what kept me playing it for so long now that I'm older and have a better grasp on games and lore as a whole I appreciate the series that much more.
My personal favourite opening is the one from the original 'WipEout'. There's just something about an AG ship being armed and fueled by robots whilst Cold Storage's music plays in the background that makes me excited.
Wip3out. For 1999 those effects were really outstanding. It's still a niche to see such animated graphic design. These series were beyond there time every release.
2097 was my first game. literally when i was a child that was the first game i played. Psygnosis was an extremely ambitious studio and i loved the aesthetic they gave 2097. Wish games would take note and be just as ambitious.
When I was younger, my father loved Wip3out, and each time he started the game I came to watch the intro. 10 years later, it's still one of my favourite game opening of all time, along with the game itself :)
Oh god the WipEout Fusion Intro always gave me nightmares... and the children’s laughing in the background is even worse lol It just seems extremely violent and somewhat eerie. And the gunshots tho
i am not the kind of guy favoring racings but back in my times i would play WO like there is no tomorrow.For sure a very underrated racer.RIP and thanks Studio Liverpool.
spazzdineveryway The series may be dead... But the style live on in Formula Fusion, a game that some of the developers from Liverpool are working on now! :)
Meettheslenderman shame it's PC/MAC and Linux only atm :(, but my god it looks amazing :D and some of the screenshot are in Real Time, man that'll be a day one pick up from me when it goes live on steam in September as an early access
I miss the time when video games had intro movies. Awesome ones, like WipEout's, Gran Turismo's, Tekken's or Soul Blade's / Soul Edge's I'd never ever skip.
Played all except Wipeout Fusion (because I never owned a PS2). Currently own Pulse/Pure/2048 on my PSP thru Vita, and HD/Fury on PS3 (and Vita expansion). I remember playing many of these when they first came out and being blown away. Anyone remember unlocking the Mars track in the first Wipeout? Lol that brings back memories. I really wish they did bring back a lot more tracks from the Pure/Pulse to HD/Fury.
Same here, buddy. Studio Liverpool planted a seed in my head about what the future looks like. Their artwork has a significant influence over my 3D models for that reason.
I like the eerie tone of WO3 but nothing beats the intensity and rawness of the 2097 intro, it's perfect for the game. Fusion tried to do it again and went way overboard.
Still makes me sad/mad that the PS4 was the first PlayStation console to launch without a Wipeout title. Sure, we finally got Omega, but that was just a compilation of HD/Fury/2048. R.I.P. Psygnosis
From 9:14 onward; even though it wouldn't quite be WipEout, that might actually be an interesting setting to explore. Familiar teams, familiar atmosphere, just with a different type of racing.
Personal favourite wipEout intros from worst to best Fusion: Feels far too in your face and "edgy", with the constant cuts between the animations of the drivers turning their necks 90 degrees and cuts to the same cannon firing over again. 3: The first of the good intros, Feels like a racing accident slowed down and reversed cut between footage of racing it's good for building uncertainty. and the animated team intros are really cool at the end 2097: BEEP BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ BEEP. Grating song and epileptic flashing with cuts of a tense race and setting in-between a countdown to a checkpoint with contender elimination Pure: 3d rendering of a Feisar ship getting built from the inside out with neat track. really really cool. WipEout: The built up to a race with a very 'built from your garage' feel with pounding bass that leads up to decent audio mixing as the countdown to the race starts Pulse: Rapid, smooth editing with how the computer readout rapidly shifts through babble and graphics straight into footage of ships racing with unobstructive visuals that enhance the feeling of high-speed racing with sci-fi technology. with probably the best song of the intros. 2048: Second best track, great mixing, fantastic transition between racing vehicles up to a long scene with F1 cars, finally building up to a Feisar ship suddenly whooshing in the sky
WipEout has predicted some pretty dystopian things happening in the real world, such as: The current state of F1 2015 FIFA corruption scandal Brexit Blackpink Orwellian surveillance happening in China and Bahrain Covid pandemic and how it affects spectator sports (especially motorsport)
Amazing, thank you, this game deserves a movie. I hope compact nuclear fusion will bring to this kind of races, if we don't discover antigravity or 5th force one day
Thanks for showing us the intro movies of wipeout, now I kinda have the desire to play the first wipeout on my pc. Actually my favorite intro was from Wipeout 2097 and favorite games was Wip3out from PS1.
Had the Omega Collection while it was free on the PS Plus off back in August. My favourite intro form this has to be the 2048. Just love how they show the evolution of racing.
I miss this franchise so much. I'm not into racing games, but this was the only racing game series I would ever play. Could you imagine if someone brought it back and made it into a 4k VR game?!
Still got a soft spot for the presentation in Wipeout 3... the intro is understated but totally hype at the same time. It was the last game in the series The Designers' Republic was involved in.
The intro to Wip3out made me instinctively reach out for a gamepad... I had my DualShock 3 laying within an arm's reach, so I said "fuck it" and grabbed it.
Jack Gaul It's not really a re-make, I consider it WipEout pulse 2, it's got all the similar designs, athetics and style like within pulse, with some of pure's tracks splashed in, I actually consider pulse to be better, despite HD being seriously exiting and beautiful, pulse simply has a bigger amount of content.
Honestly I think Wipeout 2048 had the best opening, it's the only opening to Wipeout I've seen that draws more attention towards the origins of the sport. the other openings to me felt a bit like they were just doing their job and then leaving, they were like the filler episodes of intro movies (though I have to admit the intro to Wipeout Pure is pleasing to watch). I know some people will probably think I'm just choosing the newer one on account of my age and all but in all honesty I'm not bias towards new stuff, there's a bunch of new things I don't like, I just felt the old Wipeout intros were either too artsy or just kind of bland. Though I suppose they were probably more focused on the game itself.
2048 intro looks sick, but makes a lot of holes in lore. We have a ~1930 Feisar racecar prototype... but Feisar was formed due to issues with an AG team in Europe. Next we can see a ~1964 F1 car (looks a lot like Ferrari 1512) in Feisar colors. After all of that we get to see another F1 car from ~2011 in Feisar colors, but this time surrounded by other racecars in Auricom and Qirex liveries... but these teams were not formed until 2030’s!
RIP Studio Liverpool. 2048 was the last game before they declared bankruptcy, and then close down. We hope that someone will revive this great series.

The 2048 intro is symbolic, it's not meant to fit the timeline

@@hotarushinpei4966 it’s also showcasing the surfaces they evolve to drive on. Dirt to asphalt to pavement to metal and finally skyscrapers.
The 2025 one made me depressed because of the missed potential
Where is Hd fury
i found a wipeout pure psp game laying out in a mcdonalds, it was on the floor so i put it in my psp and i kept it and fell in love.
Steven Andrews yes
Steven Andrews so true
That's fate right there
U lucky basterd
Hey man, that was my copy!
Wipeout Pure's intro was so sick
6:50 I love it so much how the music keeps going higher and higher as the engine spools up.
i remember having my mind blown by the graphics, to my child eyes it so real.
The earlier games had an industrial, almost dystopian, feel to them. But starting with Wipeout Pure in 2005 they began to look much cleaner and more minimalistic.

Yeah it in my opinion celebrates the history of racing
"A ball bounces; A pin drops; A man falls. Gravity is the glue which binds us to our planet. We are about to apply the solvent which will free our species forever".
Good memories of all three of the PS1 WipEout titles
Where Is that from?

@@bignatec1000 Tell me about it :0
The intro and the work of Designers Republic in Wip3out is just fantastic. Amazing, really.
2 year late reply but honestly, TDR really killed it. the design of wipeout is really something special
None of these intros can compare to Wip3out's intro into the team logo scene 3:42 - 4:14. That has always been beautifully intelligent, yet haunting at the same time. Next in line maybe Pure's intro. The rest are still all great in their own right.
Its amazing how each team feels so different and alive from each other
Fusion for that dark underground racing feel I mean I like the ship designs they look real and early with the wires hanging out
Fusion: ya forgot that one time I made an intro and proceeds to go way darker than the first 3 games?
that Wipeout Pure opening is absolutely fantastic
I like how Pure frames the themes as a bright, idealistic resurgence; not just from Fusion but from the series in general up to that point, which was pretty damn gritty all things considered.
Flamerider pure plays 100 years after fusion and 3
Ila, we know.
I tear up every time I watch the 2048 intro. It's just soo beautiful. The music in sync with the evolution of motorsports in that universe with the diagrams and the vehicles morphing into what became the early competition AG ships. It's soooo good.

L'indécis de nature yes, it shows all teams, but pure ist awsome.
We miss you, Studio Liverpool....we truly do...👏🏻
wip3out intro was fantastic. all the team intros... still looks perfect today
2048 takes my breath away every time. so much energy...
Gotta admit I started on Pure and loved the series ever since. It's just such a well rounded game that knows exactly what it is. The racing is fast, complex and skillful. Such a joy to master.
Did you play Wipeout 2097? If not go and do so now!
I started on fury
I recall the first Wipeout intro sequence looking so sharp due to the PlayStation ability to do FMV so well that I thought it was in realtime, the Wipeout 3 intro is definitely my favorite it just screams Designers Republic, just awesome.
5:41 that intro note/tone. Reminds me of launch PSP and mind blowing experience of that kind of sound/graphics on a portable.
that's what I was thinking
I always thought it was impressive that such a small device could overpower the N64 after just 8 years and be small enough to fit in your pocket. Now even a high end PC wouldn't have that kind of leap over a console in 8 years. Moores law in effect
Funny how it went from looking Abe's Oddysee grungy to Ratchet & Clank clean as the years go by.
Ratchet and clank used to be the same grunge haha
First wipeout game I played was the third one. I got it at my local game shop for 9 bucks and the music is what kept me playing it for so long now that I'm older and have a better grasp on games and lore as a whole I appreciate the series that much more.
is it just me or do you also hope they would make a game using the cars that are shown before the hoverships in the last trailer for 2048
david gutierrez i love them too
they actually thought about doing that.
Rollcage
(Or GRIP)
Rollcage Stage 2 was amazing. The rerelease on PC called Grip, not so much.
@@brucelombardo GRIP isn't a re-release. It's a spiritual successor of the Rollcage series.

My personal favourite opening is the one from the original 'WipEout'. There's just something about an AG ship being armed and fueled by robots whilst Cold Storage's music plays in the background that makes me excited.
That last part when you say you asked for permission for all those videos, man, you're such a Good Guy Greg.
Bigs ups to The Designers Republic for creating the incredible WipEout graphic style.
this studio is such an artistic inspiration !! the level of artistic creativity is AMAZING !!!! RIP studio psygnosis\studio liverpool
Wipeout 3 is my favourite, if only for the minimalist art vignettes with each team.
half the reason I love wip3out so much is the design LOL
Wip3out. For 1999 those effects were really outstanding. It's still a niche to see such animated graphic design. These series were beyond there time every release.

Easily one of my favourite franchises. most time spent in XL. started with the original. So much artistic design. Rest in peace Studio Liverpool.
It would be interesting to play a racing game with the cars just before the Wipeout style craft. With the AG tires.
William Nichols the wall-riders.
a game like Midnight Club but with those A-G tires would sell hard
Technically, that would be Rollcage. Or atleast now, it would be GRIP.
William Nichols the Magnetic Ball-wheel tires.
With the Michelin tires on Feisar and other cars. And Pirelli on Piranha (Pir-Hana) and other cars. With any sponsored car brand signs.
When I was younger, my father loved Wip3out, and each time he started the game I came to watch the intro. 10 years later, it's still one of my favourite game opening of all time, along with the game itself :)
Pulse was my introduction to the series, Love that intro music.
After 12 years this is still legendary!
Loved 2048 and loved the intro for it too the whole "evolution of racing" theme was cool to watch
Oh god the WipEout Fusion Intro always gave me nightmares... and the children’s laughing in the background is even worse lol
It just seems extremely violent and somewhat eerie. And the gunshots tho
i am not the kind of guy favoring racings but back in my times i would play WO like there is no tomorrow.For sure a very underrated racer.RIP and thanks Studio Liverpool.
Best futuristic racing game series in existence!
F-Zero
Martin Pizarro It's even better than F-Zero!
I only played Pure and Pulse on the PSP back in the day, but it's been great watching the intros again. And the last one is awesome as well.
Truth be told, its real weird to have a PS4 and there is no WipEout
spazzdineveryway welcome in the future after 2 years
Omega Collection is good tho.
Yeah. And now with the ps5 it feels lacking. Maybe a new wipeout game would fill the "game void" that the console is experiencing right now
@@px1_ the wipeout devs is gone sadly
@@thundermincz i know, but maybe the studio behind the omega collection or even polyphony could step in, though both of those are highly unlikely
So next year this game will be 20 years old, and it's a damn shame that in the presence of the PS4 we'll not see a new one.

ShawnSandiego GT intros i never skip them .
8:21 that's Brooklins motor museum back when it was a race track. I was there today and rode a vintage hot rod on the banks!
2048 intro brings tears to my eyes. Perfectly melding their love of Formula 1 with their work on wip3out
Pure has my favorite intro. It's the only one that looks like it could be a TV spot for a real-life racing league.
Wip3out, wipeout 2097 and einhander my greatest ever video games
gary price I really hope Wipeout3 4k with original soundtrack
I love this. It takes me back to when I was born, in 2005, and the games I grew up with. :)
Takes me back out of lockdown just reading this comment lol
You made it through lockdown lil guy! ☺️
Wip3out was developed at the Leeds Studio, which was closed down in 2001. Nicky Westcott created both the intros for 2097 and Wip3out.
Wipeout 2097 and Fusion intro were really fit the dystopian world of the sport, gritty, dark, violence, and horror.
One of the few game series that has style AND substance.
Excelente recuperación de datos de la carrera
Es nostálgico ver estos videos a pesar de que ya han pasado muchos años
Nothing beats the Pure Intro 7:22
Played all except Wipeout Fusion (because I never owned a PS2). Currently own Pulse/Pure/2048 on my PSP thru Vita, and HD/Fury on PS3 (and Vita expansion).

WIPEOUT O-FRICKIN'-MEGA!!! Somebody tell Hellire to get back in here, he's got some work to do!
The first Wipeout (nostalgia) blew me away... In terms of music, Wipeout Pure for the PSP.
yeah I loved the sounds in pure's intro
Pulse is awesome but the 2048 intro is the one that gives me chills.
Same here, buddy. Studio Liverpool planted a seed in my head about what the future looks like. Their artwork has a significant influence over my 3D models for that reason.
I blame Wipeout for my love for electronic music 🎧💙
wipeout will always be ahead. forever.
WipEout Pure and Pulse intros were my fav.
The intro of wipeout 2097 or XL with the song of the future sound of london was EPIC!!!
2048 easily had the best intro!
I agree!
TopHat and pure
Pure and 2048 are sick af
Pure is by far the best ._.
Nah 2048 this show evolution of racing
I like the eerie tone of WO3 but nothing beats the intensity and rawness of the 2097 intro, it's perfect for the game. Fusion tried to do it again and went way overboard.
My fav was 2048. It's much less seizure inducing
L00PdeL00P's Channel nah pure was better
Still makes me sad/mad that the PS4 was the first PlayStation console to launch without a Wipeout title. Sure, we finally got Omega, but that was just a compilation of HD/Fury/2048. R.I.P. Psygnosis
Those intros bring me back, nostalgia
From 9:14 onward; even though it wouldn't quite be WipEout, that might actually be an interesting setting to explore. Familiar teams, familiar atmosphere, just with a different type of racing.
Wipeout 2048's Intro looks the best
Personal favourite wipEout intros from worst to best
Fusion: Feels far too in your face and "edgy", with the constant cuts between the animations of the drivers turning their necks 90 degrees and cuts to the same cannon firing over again.
3: The first of the good intros, Feels like a racing accident slowed down and reversed cut between footage of racing it's good for building uncertainty. and the animated team intros are really cool at the end
2097: BEEP BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ BEEP. Grating song and epileptic flashing with cuts of a tense race and setting in-between a countdown to a checkpoint with contender elimination
Pure: 3d rendering of a Feisar ship getting built from the inside out with neat track. really really cool.
WipEout: The built up to a race with a very 'built from your garage' feel with pounding bass that leads up to decent audio mixing as the countdown to the race starts
Pulse: Rapid, smooth editing with how the computer readout rapidly shifts through babble and graphics straight into footage of ships racing with unobstructive visuals that enhance the feeling of high-speed racing with sci-fi technology. with probably the best song of the intros.
2048: Second best track, great mixing, fantastic transition between racing vehicles up to a long scene with F1 cars, finally building up to a Feisar ship suddenly whooshing in the sky
The4 ship being built in Pure was the AG-Systems.
As I've seen Wip3out for the first time, it was a) 3 steps ahead of mario kart and b) my stomach went crazy on the drop before the tunnel
2048's intro is just amazing
So...many...memory..from playing on the psp as a kid in 2005 to reliving exam stress in 2011 XD
2048 is the best game they made and the by far the best intro!! Someone needs to revive this series!
🙃
It's probably because it was my first wipeout game, but that intro music in pure is just something special.
God i love how dystopian this series is
WipEout has predicted some pretty dystopian things happening in the real world, such as:
The current state of F1
2015 FIFA corruption scandal
Brexit
Blackpink
Orwellian surveillance happening in China and Bahrain
Covid pandemic and how it affects spectator sports (especially motorsport)
wipout fusion was alway my fav! ps2 I loved the music and i thought the intro tune rocked! i always want a longer version of that into!!
Amazing, thank you, this game deserves a movie. I hope compact nuclear fusion will bring to this kind of races, if we don't discover antigravity or 5th force one day
We’re closer to discovering that than we think
Neill Blomkamp is looking into making a Wipeout film if I'm not mistaken
Okay by far my favorites out of all of these would be the opening for wipeout pure and 3
Big WipEout fan here! Loved the video! Thanks for the upload!
Thanks for showing us the intro movies of wipeout, now I kinda have the desire to play the first wipeout on my pc. Actually my favorite intro was from Wipeout 2097 and favorite games was Wip3out from PS1.
i would love to race with the cars before the flying ones,like the black and orange one
i thought the car was a bit more white than orange
OMG i barely noticed the orange trims on the black vehicle
RiP Wipeout and F-Zero
Had the Omega Collection while it was free on the PS Plus off back in August. My favourite intro form this has to be the 2048. Just love how they show the evolution of racing.
I miss this franchise so much. I'm not into racing games, but this was the only racing game series I would ever play. Could you imagine if someone brought it back and made it into a 4k VR game?!
Still got a soft spot for the presentation in Wipeout 3... the intro is understated but totally hype at the same time. It was the last game in the series The Designers' Republic was involved in.
UGH I wanted a cockpit mode in Wipeout HD so bad. Thats the only view I had it in, in Wip3out.
PSVR mode in Wipeout: The Omega Collection is coming out soon. That might solve you’re problem.
wipeout pure has always been the favourite intro and game alike
@tecstories1I agree. If Studio Liverpool ever makes a Fusion remake, I will be making the intro for them.
The intro to Wip3out made me instinctively reach out for a gamepad... I had my DualShock 3 laying within an arm's reach, so I said "fuck it" and grabbed it.
Wipeout hd does not have a intro,because its a hd remake of pulse and pure.
Jack Gaul It's not really a re-make, I consider it WipEout pulse 2, it's got all the similar designs, athetics and style like within pulse, with some of pure's tracks splashed in, I actually consider pulse to be better, despite HD being seriously exiting and beautiful, pulse simply has a bigger amount of content.
i like pure the most
Spyrelle Phea it’s a prequel set 1 year before Pulse.
Honestly I think Wipeout 2048 had the best opening, it's the only opening to Wipeout I've seen that draws more attention towards the origins of the sport. the other openings to me felt a bit like they were just doing their job and then leaving, they were like the filler episodes of intro movies (though I have to admit the intro to Wipeout Pure is pleasing to watch). I know some people will probably think I'm just choosing the newer one on account of my age and all but in all honesty I'm not bias towards new stuff, there's a bunch of new things I don't like, I just felt the old Wipeout intros were either too artsy or just kind of bland. Though I suppose they were probably more focused on the game itself.
man when i was kid, i skip few times school to play first Wipeout at Mall:-)
Thanks HellfireWZ !
nicely done !
Too bad that this studio is gone nowadays...
Greatest racing series ever, in my very humble opinion...
The PS brand wouldn't be what it is today without this series...
Why can I imagine Pulse and 2048 being TV openings for live coverage of the races in-universe. They work so well.
2048 intro looks sick, but makes a lot of holes in lore. We have a ~1930 Feisar racecar prototype... but Feisar was formed due to issues with an AG team in Europe. Next we can see a ~1964 F1 car (looks a lot like Ferrari 1512) in Feisar colors. After all of that we get to see another F1 car from ~2011 in Feisar colors, but this time surrounded by other racecars in Auricom and Qirex liveries... but these teams were not formed until 2030’s!
The 2048 intro is meant to be symbolic, it's not part of the lore
