#42I’m a huge fan of the Designers Republic, the studio responsible for Wipeout’s brilliant aesthetic. Being from Sheffield, they also worked closely with Warp Records on a bunch of beautiful album artwork for Aphex Twin, Autechre and others. The studio shut down in 2009 sadly, but the website popped back online a couple years ago. I hope they keep making stuff! It seems slim that there will be more Wipeout, however. So…
Yes, they were awesome: https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/61558b...

Same with discovering that the in-game advertising for RedBull was actually for a real beverage
Where in game advertising felt real and sensible. Yet was low key Then advertisers went bat shit insane
it was more like how kubrick made use of real branding in 2001 a space odyssey. it actually played a role in advancing an optimistic futurist aesthetic.

#44Such a rad game. I only got into the super league a few times. That ice planet was a slippery bastard.

I think you misunderstood the parent.
What's the non-misunderstood interpretation, because I also don't get it? If it's about Studio Liverpool, that's also wrong since Studio Liverpool was just a rename of the original developer Psygnosis after it got integrated deeper into Sony.
The original parent claimed that Designers Republic only collaborated on the design of Wipeout 3 (also known as Wip3out). The user replying countered this with proof that they collaborated on Wipeout 3.

They also did a lot of album art for the Gatecrasher Trance discs
So fresh in 1998/99

The difficulty curve on the first game was monstrous - every track was trivially easy compared to that brutal ice world.

#49Me as a kid discovering Wipeout soundtrack was truly mind-bending: Photek, Future Sound of London, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Orbital and so many other gems in one go. It was overwhelmingly cool!
My current pseudo comes directly from the game! :)

Thanks for that, never occurred to me to look for game soundtracks on Spotify until now, https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3E6gcAU0fyq74s3oUomwfo?si=...
