looking for similar game to wipeout

[Rhyth]

For some reason I loved wipeout on the PS2 and I got to thinking today how I'd love to have a copy on my laptop for a quick blast when needed. Or a newer game with a similar setup.

So are there any similar but newer games available for PC that anyone could reccommend please?

Cheers, Rhyth.

If you liked wipeout you'd probably like Rollcage 1 and 2. Old games, mind you.

There's a good chance you'd like trackmania as well.

You could always emulate the ps1 or n64 wipeout on your lappy, or:

Wipeout 2097 PC version

The original Wipeout, PC version again.

You really havent got too much choice in this genre, but hope this helps

Thanks chaps. Strange how there isnt more space racing games out there....I guess it's all cars.

Maybe I should move to fully fledged flying games?

Ah yes I think I remember Rollcage, definatly another potentialy fun laptop game for a quick blast!

There's a few out there..most have already been mentioned though..i would personally emulate a ps1 etc to play the wipeout games again...they are still my fave racing games.

I got it!

Just had a blast and....I don't remember the graphics being quite that bad lol I've also come to the conclusion I'm either VERY out of practise or at the ripe old age of 26 my reflexes just arnt what they used to be

Wipeout was a game where you had to use the force, at the top levels it required knowing the track and flying on instinct.

Thinking wasn't something you could do while playing Wipeout.

Ah i remember playing WipeOut Fusion.. god damn that game was hard - i think i played it so long that when i shut my eyes before going to sleep i swear to god i could see tracks inside my head

F-Zero?

As previously suggested, the only thing anything like as fast on pc that i can think of is trackmania. Which is pretty awesome, although maybe not exactly what youre looking for.

I'm pretty sure i bought ballistics after playing the demo... good fun although you are confined to a 'tunnel' which you cruise down, rather than the slightly-more-open track that you get with wipeout... gve the demo a try

Dethkarz? Xtreme Air Racer? Re-Volt? All are quite old now, though.

not really the same... but get one of the trackmania series. its great fun
