3D Acceleration Comparison Ep12: Wipeout on the ATI 3D Rage
263Wipeout developed and published by Psygnosis in 1995 for the Playstation and MS-DOS (later released on the Sega Saturn as well). The ATI Rage version was part of an exclusive bundle with the ATI Xpression and Xpression+ cards released in April and October of 1996. Music in the video is from the CD audio track.
Please note that English is not my native language and this was a test episode with the narration.
The ATI Rage version is a Windows port of the game while the normal retail version is MS-DOS native. The MS-DOS version got its share of criticism as it was considered an inferior version compared to the Playstation and having no SVGA resolution option. The ATI version offers higher resolution, 16bit color and texture filtering, but it didn't run very well on the first version of the ATI Rage chip, especially with texture filtering enabled.
The other ATI Rage exclusive game is Assault Rigs, seen in a previous episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZna8WXC4ds
