Wipeout (commonly stylised as wipEout) is a series of futuristic anti-gravity racing video games developed by Sony Studio Liverpool, formerly known as Psygnosis. The series is known for its fast-paced gameplay and 3D visual design running on the full resolution of the console the game belongs to; its association with electronic dance music (mainly techno and trance) as well as its continuous collaboration with electronica artists (The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, CoLD SToRAGE, Kraftwerk, Orbital, DJ Fresh and others). The series identified itself with a strong graphical design, mostly provided by The Designers Republic.
The concept of Wipeout was first discussed during a pub conversation, when one member of Psygnosis' staff envisioned an idea of creating a futuristic racing game which featured anti-gravity ships. Some elements of the game were inspired by Matrix Marauders, an Amiga game released by the Liverpudlian studio in 1994. A beta version of Wipeout appeared in the cult film Hackers, in which the game was being played by the protagonists in a nightclub. The game's appearance in the film led to Sony purchasing the studio in the following months after its release. The Wipeout franchise has been well received by critics, with Wipeout 2097 in particular being listed as among the PlayStation's best games. Wipeout 2048 was the last game to be developed by Studio Liverpool prior to their closure in August 2012. The series was later revived, with Wipeout: Omega Collection to be released in 2017.
