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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
It would be interesting to play a racing game with the cars just before the Wipeout style craft. With the AG tires.

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.
Pulse is awesome but the 2048 intro is the one that gives me chills.
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 :)

WipEout Pure and Pulse intros were my fav.
The ONLY racing game that gave me real adrenaline rush, even in the PSX era. Racing games before that was more, dunno dull?, some had complex tracks with lots of turns, so you had to have some reflexes, but thats it. Wipeout was the very first racing game i've played that really gave me adrenaline rushes and a sens of extreme speed, its a sensation that i never had before and never will have outside a Wipeout game. Plus at the time the Techno/trance tracks where on point, and it was relevant with the times, since it was then that the Thunderdome albums and Hardcore/trance genres was the most populars. I would play all day on Wipeout 2097 with only Firestarter as the soundtrack...

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.
2048's intro is just amazing
Wipeout Original, humble start of futiristic races Wipeout 2097, Industrial Feeling Wip3out, Assembling the Teams of futuristic AG-Racing Wipeout Fusion, Dystopian AG-Racing Era Wipeout Pure & Pulse, The Revival pf AG-Racing Wipeout 2048, It's Prequel of AG-Racing, but such a beautiful letter for future of racing...
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.
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 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!

Neill Blomkamp is looking into making a Wipeout film if I'm not mistaken
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.
wipeout will always be ahead. forever.
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.

True story: back when we all (except for the Master Racers) needed to decide which console to get, I decided to get the ole 'Bone just because I was so, SO disappointed and sad that Sony disbanded Studio Liverpool. Yeah, it's childish, I know, but wipE'out'' has been a part of my silly little life since it first came out and it combined everything I loved as a child. It still does and I still love the series. I thought it was one of the most creative game series out there, it had its own vision, style, it was fresh and daring. Of course this kind of fades a little in a time frame of 20 years, but HD and Fury still felt absolutely great. I still don't get why Sony cut SL loose. It was obviously a very capable team and had a long tradition with Sony. They could have let them do other games, if they thought WO wasn't profitable enough (which I still find difficult to believe), but yeah. Fuck it. Curly says GO!
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!!
