Futuristic Racers (Wipeout, Extreme G, F-Zero)

[Advanced Dark]

What the hell happened to these games? I loved the Wipeout series especially Wipeout XL, and the XBOX Extreme G game was awesome. I miss these racers and I would play them for hours. Just think how wild they could get with the tracks and environments on the next-gen systems.

Any news on any of these games for the 360??? F-Zero is probably the least exciting franchise of the bunch. Hopefully they'll make a cool Speed Racer game to go along with the film next year.

Wipeout is being developed for the PS3. That is a Sony franchise and is exclusive to that system and the PSP. Theres a thread for it in htat forum

F Zero is a Nintendo franchise so its never going to hit the 360. Better get a Wii for that one if they decide to resurrect it

^ Really? I don't want to buy a damn PS3 but if the game is good I probably will. I liked Extreme G's tracks alot better because they were faster and more insane but wipeout had the smoother racing and the great music.

Sony aquired Psygnosis, who develops the Wipeout series back in 1999 and its now called Sony Studio Liverpool. Heres a link from last year revealing that the game is in development

The last JM game was released in 1999. Dont know why Icognito hasnt developed another one. They are currently working on Warhawk, but that would be a good franchise for Sony to bring back

What happened to that hover racer that was coming to the PS3 and 360? That's still around somewhere isn't it? Had a bit of a star wars race scene feel to it. Not strictly a futuristic racer in the same was as Wipeout et al but a similar feel at least.

Quantum Redshift.

I was thinking Fatal Intertia, which just resurfaced over at IGN. Still looks a bit crap.

I miss Extreme G. Too bad Acclaim fell through.

No. Well actually I tested it a bit but never bought it. I want Wipeout and I don't want to buy a PS3 damnit!

I wish this would come out for the 360.
