The F9000 was insane. It was like militarized, the insanely destructive shit they had, you could even tell by the way the final craft upgrades all had military sort of paint jobs. Some people didn't like Fusion but it really does all fit together.

(ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง The Super Missile is what caused the 2164 Temtesh Bay disaster y’know. It was F.E.I.S.A.R. that took responsibility for it and that the weapon rocked the entire underground mining area, and with the huge explosions combined, six racers died in the process.

Fusion was my introduction to the series and still remains my favorite. I've played some of the others since, and I still miss the campaign structure. Playing through the ones included in Omega, I'm always a bit frustrated needing to play various game modes that aren't my favorite. They leave me wishing for the days where the campaign was just tournament after tournament with alternate modes like zone being a fun side thing when I occasionally felt like it. I also miss the way you would earn money from the campaign and use it to upgrade your ship.

Interesting thing about the Quake in Wipeout3 - sometimes at the end of the quake cycle, you could get a vertical wall for a split second. If you ended up hitting that wall you were eliminated instantly.

Some things you may have not noticed: Missile: In 2048, Fighter ships tend to lock-on with Missiles faster than other ships. In 2097, 64 and 3, the missile will circle around shielded opponents before hitting them. Rockets: In WipEout 3, it is possible for all two rockets to hit a craft at point-blank range. Plasma: In 2048, it has a slight homing effect allowing for more successful hits. Quake: In Pulse, you can still fire the quake backwards when turning around. Also, in Pure, it can actually damage ships that are protected by a Shield. Mines: In 2048, Agility ships drop four mines and Speed ships drop three mines. Autopilot: In WipEout 3, the autopilot actually makes you slower. Shield: In Pure, Shields will not protect you from Quakes. Electro-Bolt: The weapon actually produces minor damage. Cloak: You can still take damage from walls while using the cloak. Shuriken: The weapon becomes ineffective on mag-strips. Repulsor: Repulsors don't always guarantee successful hits within its radius, likely due to the framerate. Machine gun cheat from 2097: The weapon has the same icon as F.E.I.S.A.R.’s Mini-Gun superweapon from 64, has unlimited ammo, but will slow you down if used constantly. You will also be unable to pick up anything else when the cheat is active. Added bonus: Tigron’s Nitro Rocket is similar to AG Systems’ Shield Raider, both of which are extreme weapons of mass destruction that can eliminate an opponent by simply ramming them after aiming them directly to the opponent, and both are just like missiles. The only difference is that with the Shield Raider, the opponent has no more shield energy remaining while the Nitro Rocket crystallizes the chassis of the opponent with their shield energy intact before any collision/weapon impacts and that its effect is not permanent.

The autopilot also slows you down in 2097, but curiously it doesn't seem to do it in Special Edition. The cloak does protect you from wall impacts in the original Wipeout 3, but not in Special Edition. Also, I think that in Fusion the plasma doesn't have any slowing effects

another minor little detail about the autopilot thats changed between 2097 and 3 - in 2097, the autopilot would always take you through the pit lane, making it pretty handy to get fixed up without losing as much time, but in 3 it would take you along the normal route instead of automatically going through the pit

Nice vid Hellfire! One of my favourite things about Quake is how it cleans up track garbage. Gets rid of Mines and Bombs on the track ahead of you. Very handy when you know your opp has trapped the next corner... - Task

Wipeout Fusion had such cool weapon designs.

I can't tell you how much these videos have been a godsend to me; I'm currently in the process of writing a spec screenplay for a Wipeout film, and being able to definitively sift through the nuances of each games' weapons is helping me immensely. Thank you for this!

honestly, considering the backstory that Hellfire had compiled and uploaded five days after this video, I would feel that a series (animated or live-action, but animated sounds easier to pull off) would be more appropriate, because there is no way a 2-3 (or even 4) hour film will come close to really covering a notable segment of the series in general.

Very interesting, especially since I don´t play the ps1 games, 64 and Fusion that much. Listening to this while playing the Omega Collection, Wipeout will never truly die!

Something I found out when playing the omega collection version of 2048 is the amount of mines dropped is reduced to 3 for Speed Ships while Agility Ships drop 4 instead of 5 like in HD.

Liking all your videos on Wipeout - learnt loads and seen versions of the game I hadn't before since I never bought a PSVita or PS1. My main comment is on the Thunder Bomb from 2097. I really wish they'd bring this back. It had such a satisfying THUNK on launch and it cleared mines too. Anyway, I've only just bought a PS4 PRO and got the latest Wipeout bundle. I have lots of work to do...

i still get good memories of the times when i used to play wipeout pulse on my old psp before it broke and i couldn't use it anymore

If you have a Vita you can get Pulse and Pure on the PlayStation Store for about £8 each. A bargain for the full games in my opinion.

Could you imagine if Fusion had online multiplayer and Global Drain was available? The amount of salt it would produce is enough to replenish all the salt mines in the world.

I was going to say that. I assumed it was the same thing. Never realised it only worked forward.

Thank you for reminding me of "we have explosive". S'been ages since I listened to this track.

The odd interaction of turbos and speed pads in Pure is likely a quirk of the game's programming, and not intended behavior. It seems like ships can only have one speed boost effect active at a time, and the speed pad happens to take priority over both the turbo and the barrel roll.

I wish wipeout was more popular. Hellfire deserve so many more subs

God I forgot how good all these games looked..

Still amazes me that PS2 controller could detect how hard you're pressing the button but no one knew about it lol

37:05 One of my favourite things about the Penetrator was that it had several uses - it could be used to headhunt a player ahead of you, tail them relentlessly with a threat if they fell behind if the AI didn't catch up, or to dumb-fire boost along a straight - which, if done right, gave you a steerable explosive ship for a few seconds after the speed slowly wore off. Works best on a course like Florion 3, the loop section of Cubiss Float 3 or the invert section of Katmoda 12 3, but there's quite a few places dumbfired Penetrator is actually kinda powerful.

very nice video, i had no idea how much the weapons changed in the Wipeout series before i watched this

Absolutely great video!

Great video. Brought back some fond memories :)

This is an amazing video!! My only correction I'd offer (just having come from completing Wipeout 64) is that the Piranha stealth super weapon also does damage to other craft when you are in the same space as them, it doesn't just allow you to pass through.

I've been playing the omega collection recently, but i have noticed as well that the leech beam will actually drain opponent's energy faster the closer you are to them. It is more noticeable in combat events as you gain points faster, therefore hitting them and draining faster.

Another great video, HellfireWZ! Gratz!

DAMN you make some of the most in depth, and instructive, CLEAN videos on KZread. Not to mention your accent is as sexy as Alucard.

I should wait a bit longer to speak, but I will say, as always, an impressive video, and since I don't have a Vita yet, finally got to see a bit of the Qirex prototype in action. That and I'm also looking forward to seeing more 2048 videos, and wipeout videos in general. That and, among other things hoping to put fan art out soon enough...time will tell. Once again, very impressive, Bravo.

its sad that the no longer make wipout games but at least i have them all and will never forgot the hours of fun rage and just plain destruction just to come in first

I'm with you, my friend. Anything I can do to help. Great video!

The wipeout 64 weapons make my head hurt, just trying to process what the heck they did. This video helps my brain to not dissolve when I play the game. Thanky. 👍🙂👍

another awesome video!

So great video.

Oh man this is fantastic.

If weapons for anti gravity racing exist in real life, i'd imagine the FIA possibly rectify that due to safety concerns

Interesting stories on these weapons in Wipeout. It was indeed a sad day when I heard that Studio Liverpool was closed down. It's too bad that we won't see a sequel to the series. But I will continue to play the games thanks to the game's soundtrack.

When it got to the 24 mines, the video ended and shortened it's length to nine minutes and one second. I had to refresh to restore the video, but KZread will probably do it again because of the programming teams lack of competence.

I actually got to use to the ECM-Pod and Revcon in a special program that would emulate two Playstations hooked together via serial cable, one looks like a yellow shockwave and the other is pink if I remember correctly

They're sorted now, I had to go to work right after uploading

You're thinking of the Thunder Bomb, which was a totally different weapon. it's in the "Other weapons" section.

Only in Eliminator

Awesome sir keep it up

u did a realy good job :)

No, they're two very different weapons. The Thunder Bomb is a heavy damage dealer and is able to hit every visible craft in front of you. The Gravity Bomb is designed to disrupt only, dealing minimal damage and having a limited blast radius.

Cool vid!

Another excellent video. Thanks a lot. On a side note, everyone should buy Table Top Racing for iOS, if you can. It's made by Playrise Digital. Playrise's CEO is Nick Burcombe, co-creator of Wipe out, formerly of Psygnosis. They've gone on record as saying they'd love to create a Wipeout-esque mobile racer, if the initial project is successful. As much as I've loved the progression of the series, XL (2097) is still my favorite, so news of former Psygnosisians (?) pushing forward is great.

I think the best autopilot was used in 2097 and Wip3out. It could be very unforgiving, and drive you straight through a line of mines. But used well, it could save your race. Even if you're eliminated, the autopilot, if engaged, would keep your craft racing until it either exploded, or fell to the ground. There were several times I was on the last part of the race, with critical energy. Hearing a missile warning let me know to engage the autopilot. Usually it would be enough to get you past the finish line, while eliminated, which still counted as a win.

Damn sad to hear about the sad news about all the wipeout crews and studio liverpool.. I hope they made enough to last em a lifetime and I hope they do well enough and are also successful enough or at least to their wishes in their future endeavours... peace and thank you Hellfire for this great video and your continued support..

You missed a difference about the leech beam in HD that wasn't in pulse. In WipEout HD, they added a change to where the closer you are to an opponent, the faster the leech beam will Siphon energy from your opponent.

I'm pretty sure during Eliminator in Pulse, the Leech Beam would do continuous damage to the opponent unless you were hit by another weapon, were too far away or someone shielded

Also, about the cloak in Wip3out. Isn't it true that in the regular version of Wip3out, hitting a wall whilst the cloak was active, the respective craft would not get damaged, while in the Special Edition version, craft would suffer damage from wall hits either way?

Mines,that weapon maybe not the strongest,but it scattered around so that can be a bit brutal

I remember in 64 the mines were blue and yellow diamonds that were huge if flown by close enough and were incredibly loud if you or your opponent were to hit them. So the bombs give off splash damage then. Can the quake set off mines and bombs when it travels down the track ?

That...was VERY instructive! Thanks so much! I mean, I knew that the wipEout franchise had some crazy Arcade-style Weapons, but now I really KNOW! Very helpful to my research into the Genre. Thank you again and condolences on the loss of your Favorite Series in such a niche Genre. And I mean that. I really wanted my game to face off against the latest wipEout installment when it comes out...

Can you please do some more through the ages, your favourite tracks maybe?

i have 2048 but my vita randomly decided to stop working recently, i loved playing it and the rest of the wipeout games, though, =D

I loved Eliminator events

rapier response rate, mate! the dynamic of deploying - small delay (i.e. while the grav curved up, the thunder dropped back) - multiple surrounding craft hits was more my track of thought unique to these weapons, but i concede your point about damage effects

Enjoyed this you should do a video on the announcer voices

and here i thought you'd mention the 'cheat / unlock' weapons XD

Which came first X-GRA or Wipeout Fusion? Because they definitely echo inspiration

Here you can see Mr. Hellfire actually using the Autopilot ;)
