About Wipeout 3 in brief
Wipeout 3 is a futuristic racing video game developed by Psygnosis and published by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for PlayStation. The title is the fourth game in the Wipeout series, and was released in Europe and North America in September 1999. Players control extremely fast anti-gravity ships and use weapons to force other contenders out of the race. The game is one of the few PlayStation titles to run in high-resolution mode, offering crisper graphics and visuals. The soundtrack is composed of electronica tracks selected by DJ Sasha and features contributions by Orbital and The Chemical Brothers. It was positively received on release: critics lauded the graphics, music, and minimalist design elements. The high level of difficulty, perceived lack of new content and courses, and paucity of new game features were seen as the game’s primary faults. Despite generally good press, the game was a financial disappointment. Wipe out 3 was the last title in the series to appear on the PlayStation; the next entry, Wipe Out Fusion, was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 platform in 2002.
Wipingout 3: Special Edition released exclusively in Europe on July 14, 2000, was a special edition of the game that contained additional tracks and content. In addition to shields, each racing craft contains airbrakes for navigating tight corners, as well as a \”Hyperthrust\” option. The single race mode awards medals to the top three finishing hovercraft, with points being awarded for placement in each race. Winning consecutive gold medals unlocks new tracks and crafts. In the \”Eliminator\” mode, players gain points for destroying competitors and finishing laps. Players can engage in two-player racing via a split-screen option. Players can activate Hyperthrust to increase their speed, but using hyperthrust drains energy from the shields, making the craft more vulnerable.
