Me 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!

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.

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

All those links are to the first game, not Wipeout 3.
It's interesting. I downloaded, then renamed the Windows files from CPP to C so that I could easily compare the PSX to Win98 source version. You are struck at how small the project is compared to modern games. When you compare the source it becomes both a view into mid nineties game programming and how the game was ported from the Playstation to the PC. They really used a kind of emulation layer to ease the port to P…

What sticks in my brain was the fact that mines, caltrops, etc. would persist throughout the game unless somebody actually hit them. This meant that jumping out to first immediately wasn't always a good strategy as somebody behind you could drop a bunch of stuff in a pattern at a corner and a lap later the person in first would be the person to hit all the stuff.
The rocket-powered explosive skateboard was also amusing as if a couple people dropped them all at the same time you could effectively close down all but a small width of the track when they came flying around.
I wish I could remember what it was.

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

Or, perhaps it was the sweet spot. A few years earlier a 7up advert was the game¹, although to be fair it isn't that bad for a 90s platformer. ¹ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Spot
