Wipeout Retro Review and Lap Time Challenge (

This week I'm reviewing one of my all time favourite racers (no pressure!!). This is the classic, futuristic game WipeOut from 1995 (Psygnosis) - being played on the Playstation 1 (although I subsequently discovered this version of the game was not a Sony exclusive, that came later when Sony picked up Psygnosis).
This game was an absolute dream back in the day, I loved the genre and the setting. With an amazing "grown up" soundtrack and beautiful 3D graphics, this was a defining moment in gaming history. How does it hold up today? Is the magic still there? Is it still playable?
ALSO - it just so happens that this also the monthly lap time challenge from ‪@steve36207‬so you lucky people get a lap time challenge from me (and the boy!) and a review at the same time. Enjoy!!

They have breaks 😮 Great run from both of you 😎👍

@piecesof8-bit 9 дней назад

Yeah - although how useful they are is debatable!

God damn it, beat my time 👀 GG very well played ✌️

@piecesof8-bit 2 дня назад

Hah - don't worry, I can't see it happening again... last few have been a disaster... :D - blimey though, that was close though!! If you hadn't caught the wall on that last turn you would definitely have beaten me

@@piecesof8-bit that wall is a pain, its so narrow too

So you like this game then andi buddy 😂😂 I didn't know there was breaks on here, I was using the sides to slow down 😂 ollie that was a great run bud.... but your old man smashed it out the park, outstanding run andi buddy... your not last this month 🤣👊🕹

@piecesof8-bit 9 дней назад

Hah, did it show? It is definitely up there.... Easy to miss the air brakes, but they can be more of a hinderance frankly.... TBH not fussed about winning, just not being last for once. Even if just for one month. I was proper nervous I was gonna cock this one up... but either way, love doing these. Thanks as always for setting them up!! 😃

I remember this being jaw dropping when it first came out. It was sooo hard though. Still is! It's hard right from the start which spoiled it for me. I didn't play it much. It was just too frustrating. I tried when Russell was having a go and the best I could do before the shouting began was around 1:45 😔

@piecesof8-bit 9 дней назад

Oh yeah - it is super frustrating! Certainly more difficult than most traditional racers... The newer ones I found a little easier/more forgiving - but it is very much boom or bust with any race in any version!

Such an annoying game for me mate, I never liked it, always thought it was all show and no go so to speak, looked amazing but played crap and didn't deserve the praise it got, i couldn't have been more disappointed after looking forward to it loads. No idea what a good time is but well done 👍

@piecesof8-bit 8 дней назад

I know plenty of people that feel the same. I think for me, I played more of the newer ones which I always felt were a little more forgiving. There was definitely a “skill ceiling” for many of us that persisted with it too - where in the end it just became too difficult and you inevitably got bored… and hey wouldn’t it be dull if we all loved the same stuff?
