Wipeout 2097 and Wipeout 3 were multi-platform follow-ups, while Wipeout 64 touched down on the Nintendo 64.
Off the back of its success, Psygnosis churned out the sequels. Wipeout was a commercial triumph, climbing to the top of software charts the world over. PSOne consoles running the game were set up in nightclubs to support Wipeout's launch, and a range of branded clubwear found its way on to the market. The most notable absentee was CoLD SToRAGE, who contributed more to the game than any other artist. Tim Wright, under the alias CoLD SToRAGE, composed the remainder of the in-game music.Īn official soundtrack CD was released separately to promote the game, though its tracklisting deviated from the music that actually appeared in the title. An exceptional soundtrack that included tunes by artists such as Leftfield and The Chemical Brothers did its cause no harm. Graphics firm The Designers Republic was drafted in to help market Wipeout towards trendy club-goers with a passion for music.
Psygnosis's magnum opus was geared towards a new breed of gamer.
