looks really impressive

To Dreamcast, the cause and solution of all our gaming problems

Looks like a PS1 game but smoother and with texture filtering etc. I.e. not that impressive IMO, the DC can do a lot better.

I want a new Wipeout so bad.....

Its all the more impressive when you know this isn't done with the official SDK and it was ported in a matter of weeks to a level of finesse you don't even see on current games anymore:

• The VMU has its own little Wipeout icon, for instance
• Enhanced controls
• Enhanced visuals

This is as close to an official port one can get, which is extremely impressive.

100%ed XL, 3, and HD, but never actually played the original.

I played PS1 Wipeout on my Mister Pi not long ago, and it's still a solid game even in its original form. Seeing it in 640x480 at 60fps is amazing.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Looks like how a DC port would have turned out for real. Its similar to Tony Hawk, V-Rally 2, Vigilante 8 etc.

Man... Sony should really make a new Wipeout. I gladly sacrifice Ghost of Yotei and the Wolverine game and Intergalactic for one.

They tried a few times but they always try to make it " more " than original and that messes up the feel of the originals. They were just perfect out of the gate.

 

[RCX]

Amazing.

I'm hopeful that the back-compat release of F-Zero GX with the Switch 2 might spark new interest in futuristic racers.

A man can dream

 

[yurinka]

I want a new Wipeout too, even if it's just as a Marathon secondary game mode.

 

[Drew1440]

Looks like a nice port. Always wondered if Dreamcast could have done Wipeout Fusion, or any or the PSP titles like Pure or Pulse.

For any of you that don't know the definitive way to play this is now is "Wipeout Phantom Edition" for PC (excellent on steam deck) and you can all do it right now.

Everyone loves Sega and everyone REALLY loves racing games...and everyone loves new Dreamcast games even more! (or at least I do) so what happens when a modder comes along and takes the the Wipeout source code and ports the game to Dreamcast....this!

It also has higher draw distance.

 

[YCoCg]

Meh, unlike the GTA ports this one isn't that impressive, the Saturn had a Wipeout port so duh, yeah the Dreamcast could run it.

 

[MrJangles]

Odd choice, 2097 was vastly superior.

 

[Zuzu]

It's running really smoothly

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!
