Beloved PS1 launch game WipeOut is now playable for free in your web browser

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation when it launched back in 1995. The anti-gravity racing game was phenomenal. Now it’s abandoned. So one dedicated programmer took it upon himself to excavate the game’s leaked source code and make it playable for free in any web browser.

“Either let it be, or shut this thing down and get a real remaster going,” he told Sony…

    While the variety, quality and especially scope isn’t great, I wouldn’t call it abandoned. Especially BeamNG BallisticNG has been one of the more successful ones and Redout 1 was also fairly well received. There generally hasn’t been a big presence for this genre on the PC unfortunately.

        Damn that’s a very good deal. From the price I suspected that it was just another grey market key seller, but from all that I can find it’s actually legit. Thanks for sharing!

          Nah Fanatical is legit, they’ve got good sales and bundles now and then, I get alerts about them from IsThereAnyDeal.

      Wait we’re talking about the same BeamNG right? Like BeamNG Drive? Last I checked that game is not in the same genre as Redout and WipeOut.

        Pretty sure they mean BallisticNG, which actually a Wipeout-alike

          That’s what happens when you write comments at the end of a day. I blame their names to be too similar. lol
