I love how the different style of Wipeout Fusion is perfectly contextualized in the lore

For a game with stellar design and amazing gameplay, I always felt that what made Wipeout special was the story background, and the way players got attached to their favourite teams. It always felt like a real world sport.

Geez! I didn't think the lore would be this detailed! This should honestly be turned into a movie franchise because WOW! This would be incredible. I always loved AG-Systems as I loved how fast and well-handling the ships were, but now that there's an underdog & pure engineering side to the story, I love them even more. But I must say Assegai and Harimau are my new favorites. In a world where the AGRC is reality, I would love to be involved with those two teams. Assegai because I'm an African who's passionate about promoting motorsport in my continent, and Harimau because I'm also a hypocrite tree-hugger. SAVE THE TIGERS!!

Lol, I love how the style of the video's kind of "immersed in the universe" instead of looking in from outside... but I love hearing lines like "way back in 2048". It's impossible not to imagine them out of context. It's curious how so *many* of the teams get consistent high-place finishes...

Well, not even Triakis can get away with cheating at the end of the FX300 because of their reverse-inertia deceleration system, which was illegal. So much for everyone trying to catch the strongest-shielded ship which suddenly became so fast and agile. Literally “chasing the rabbit”.

@wieldylattice3015

Жыл бұрын

Worst part is that it wasn’t even initially illegal. There was no rule against it. Triakis just thought: hey this tech could be useful in AG racing. Instead of encouraging other teams to experiment with similar technology, the league outright decided to make the tech illegal out of the blue, robbing Triakis of what I see as a pretty legitimate victory for a first timer

34:26 I like how the background music and when the ship drops they synced well!

You've done it. Now "PETROL" is the Tigron Theme for me. Suits them perfectly :) Imagine that you're Auricom pilot confidently leading the race and then looking behind for a brief moment only to see that out of nowhere the brand new black K-SVR closing in on you quickly. And this track kicks in. WipEout could be a great movie) Something in vein of the brilliant "Rush" would be nice.

The sold top-speed coupled with good acceleration secures a good mid-field position at the beginning of a race, the handling allows them to tackle even highly technical tracks with no real issues and the heavy weight together with effective shielding makes it very difficult to stop a Quirex ship in its advance.

With the Omega Collection heading to PS4 and the return of Van Uber, you might have to add in their re-emergence to the FX350. Always love watching this video!

The good thing is, unlike Tigron and G-Tech who were completely wiped out by the fall of the F9000, Van-Uber's disappearance was much more ambiguous. The idea of the company folding was simply because there was no official explanation, leaves plenty of room for speculation :)

never heard of wipeout and only got the game after that period of time when the psn went down and they offered hd/hdfury for free. I am so glad I got a chance to play that amazing game. after besting hd I went ahead and bought pure and pulse on my psp. Later I got a vita and 2048 was my #1 game I wanted above all else. When I learned the fate of Liverpool I was furious. I keep hoping that one day we will get another game. thank you 4 the video hard to believe there's so much history in such a simple game.

Excellent work man! great music, cool back stories, great visuals. and solid delivery. If I were one of the people working on the games at SL i'd be as proud as hell to see something like this, not to mention impressed.

I've been looking for a video like this. Amazing work!

When it's about Wipeout, I tend to take things a bit too seriously. ;) This video you've made, my goodness, I've spent so many nights thinking the teams' backgrounds up. I only learned about the series in 2008 but I've played all entries from Wipeout to Wipeout Pulse. To this day I still didn't get a chance to have a go with HD, Fury and 2048. But I've never let go of the inspiration that Wipeout brings to me. Only those truly in love with the spirit of racing can make a game series like that.

man, you deserve a gold medal from wipeout team for doing this outstanding video. GOOD JOB.

Excellent video. As far as I know, this if the first time someone has compiled all of this information in one place, and I'm glad that you did it so skillfully. Well done.

thank you for posting this(i know its an old video) sadly due to not having a playstation since the playstation 2 its been hard to keep track but since i am getting a playstation 4 soon and Wipeout Omega looking this up has been interesting and helpful

I always thought harimau was one of the badasses of the teams, knowing they are kind of outsiders makes me love them even more XD

Thanks for making this! I've been looking for something like this for a while :)

Great video, really cool to understand relations between the teams and their backstories

Just a quick note, sure Omaar Kumala was offered a bonus for aggression on the track and destroying auricom ships in F9000, but wasn't his manager saying that he get's his own diamond farm if he manages to make "Daniel Johnson lose his stupid smile." Just referring from the original manual. Otherwise, really nice history lesson, helped me fill a few gaps I couldn't explain on my own.

@HellfireWZ

It's the other way round. Direct from the manual: "Omarr Khumala's aggression bonus should be in his account by Thursday. Further money will be coming if he can wipe the smirk off Daniel Johnson's face and we'll buy him his own diamond farm if he puts Auricom out of business for good."

First of all, amazing video man, good work! As a massive fan of all of the wipeout games, I thought this video was brilliant, and I’ve watched through quite a few times now. Great to have the story put together like this and it really gets the imagination going. I just really wish wipeout could continue on to the ps5. I have loved the games ever since the original on the playstation 1. I have always thought a film or series animated or live would be amazing, or even a graphic novel or comic book series. I’m surprised someone hasn’t already done it something like this even as fan art. I’m currently playing wipeout omega collection vr, which is what brought me to this video in 2021, and the vr is one of the best be experiences I’ve had yet and definitely does justice for the game.

I've only just discovered you, and I've subscribed already due to your efforts in keeping the WipEout community alive. I want to thank you personally for that. WipEout is a fantastic racing series, and it would be a shame to see it disappear off the planet. In other news, I personally prefer Assegai Dev. Glorious antigravitational Africans, eheh.

Can't wait for the beginning of Anti-Grav racing. :P

Great video. I'd never bothered researching Wipeout's mythology because of the websites and manuals being scattered about-- it all seemed a little overwhelming. Thanks for bringing all that great backstory together and in one place.

This was an awesome video man well done, i wish the game itself presented this kind of history and importance as it would make such a difference in the gameplay in my opinion. Instead of just ship skins essentially, each team/company has weight behind your allegiance. Love It.

The stories finish off with essentially the predictions for the future, based on statements from each team which will obviously be biased. Flaubert and McQueen both worked for AG Systems and were dismissed at the same time, but it was always Flaubert's intention to start her own AG team when she left whereas McQueen only did it in response to her after finding Qirex Industries were willing to accommodate him. That took a long time. Their rivalry manifests in the teams they left behind.

The only one I ever played was Pure, but that didn't mean I didn't have a ton of fun playing. P.S. Feisar for life

You read that like a sports commentator, making it all the more enjoyable to listen to. Very informative and thorough.

A big thankyou for your research. I always wanted to know this stuff.

Its typical F1 drama style stories ;p

Was wondering if you would update this video series with the recent Omega Collection ships from Van Uber and Tigron. Also do a parallel story on the BallisticNG teams :)

Oh man this brings back memories. I wish I had been in a tournament back then. Im unbeaten to this day. As for this video you made, it is a jewel of backround info. Nice job !

Lets just take a moment of realization, Pier Bell mando founded AG-Systems(best team :D) in 2017, and according to this video he died around the time of the F9000 which is in like 2160!!!!

Man, they should have released a paid DLC with at least two old tracks and Gtech making a return under a new leadership instead of making Wipeout Rush.

As someone whom likes a story in any given videogame, I gota say, thanks for this video since it clears quite a lot of things up far as trying to figure out the histories of each teams. In my opinion, it's darn near professional, and at least for me, both inspiring and motivating to say the least. it's also given me one more reason to find more of an interest in Wipeout...maybe I'll be able to finally buy a game or two from this series :), again, nice videos.

The Icaras / Pir-hana rivalry was always bittersweet for me. I ran Pirhana in F9K exlusively, but when the F7200 league came around I had to jump ship to Icaras. I still looked fondly back at the red crafts as I passed them, though.

feels that icaras was a bit of a joke with the game writers poking fun at GB
