Cause Mario Kart exists and is the main cartoony racer game, making something gay like your OP just doesn't sell enough to be worth it.
How does the two relate? Stupid homosexual
>racing games
>warzone is the same thing as arma just because they're both fps
The only thing Mario Kart is good for is split screen fricking around

Even the people who play these games are sub-consciously aware they're shit and rely entirely on nostalgia for appeal.
Only true Chads can comprehend the Wipeout lore.
You play on original hardware.
The saddest part about the lore is that we already flunked the timeline. In '97 2020 seemed so far away, and yet we are here now and there are zero advancements in AG technology.
But there is Brexit at least.
>botched remaster of a botched remaster
You know nothing about Wipeout
Explain?
Omega Collection is a shitty remaster of HD and 2048, it fricks up the track readability, sound effects and music of both games.
HD is a misconceived attempt at remastering both Pulse and Pure, two games with drastically different handling models, using a single unified handling model (ie. Pulse's) and not modifying the design of the Pure tracks to account for that. The result is that half the tracks in HD feel terrible to race on because they were designed for an entirely different handling model. HD also contains less content than either Pure or Pulse, as it only took a handful of tracks from either game. There is no reason to play it besides muh grafix.
Ah I see ty for actually explaining your position.
HD's physics are somewhere between Pulse and Pure, closer to Pulse but not quite. Pulse is the stiffest and springiest of the Wipeouts. It's not just Pure tracks that don't work, Pulse's don't either because HD is floatier.
What's the best way to play them all then?
Ignore HD Fury either in its original version or in the Omega Collection. Instead play Pure and Pulse on the PSP.
Omega Collection is fine for playing 2048 if you can't get a Vita. The original release of 2048 is fine too.
what's the best wipeout game to emulate? HD Fury on PS3?
Pulse for PSP
Wipeout 3 for classic style, Pulse or Pure for modern style, BallisticNG for classic style but also it's an actual new game
guess it's time to dust off the ol' PSP.
The thing is that nothing really competes with Wipeout, not any more than Dirt competes with F1 20xx or NBA Jam competes with Madden. Modern Wipeout, oldschool Wipeout/BNG, Redout, F-Zero, FAST, even GRIP's fliers are all different flavours of AG racing that are arguably further from each other than car games can be.

Mario Kart 8 and Ballistic NG are both better iterations on gameplay concepts used in Wipeout. MK is better as a combat racer and BNG is a better antigrav racer.
>MK is better as a combat racer
MK is too one-dimensional, and 8DX's double items just turn everything into item spam. Modern Wipeout's system is more interconnected and complex- you got energy and powerups, energy is spent on getting hit or on going faster with rolls, powerups are spent to make others use energy and go slow or on recovering energy to get hit or go fast more. A lot more strategy involved in keeping yourself healthy and fast and others slow.

A lot more strategy involved in keeping yourself healthy and fast and others slow.
This is the problem with game though - the health system is too punishing and creates a compound setback dynamic which ensures that the main pack continue to drag eachother down while the guy in first place disappears into the distance. The series has never found a good solution to this - the pit lane system from the early games was out of place in a game where the races are so short, and the item absorbing of later games is even more punishing because it deprives you of tools needed to get back in the race if you get targeted. The right answer would have been F-Zero style healing strips on the main track, but the Wipeout devs probably didn't want to copy that. Ultimately, being slowed down when hit by a weapon is enough of a impediment, the additional punishment of having to then restore missing health by sacrificing either items or speed is just too much.
The easy solution to this issue is to reduce energy recovery from absorbtion from offensive powerups the further forward you are, down to zero if you are in first place and have a gap. If you want to get health, you'll have to both luck out and get a turbo and choose to not use it as a turbo, so that rules out barrell rolling since turbo would be more efficient for speed.
So literally skill issue? The trade offs its one of my favorite things about it since it can go both ways. You where able to pull some amazing recoveries into pole positions if you know what you doing and where. Both in single player and multiplayer. It's hard but that what i like about since its more engaging to me as a racer. Also most people know this but the art style and design of the game is STILL unmatch to this day. Music was constantly bangers with the exception of OC. The series got a lot of people into electronic music.
Mostly people who play racing games are chicken shit players that throw a tantrum when they are not in or near first place and just restart if in single player or quite in Multiplayer.
Wipeout could of still be a thing if Sony where not a bunch of idiots. There was already another game into a year in development when they decided to close SCE Studio Liverpool. Also 2048 was a rushed job too.
Also the drives up the fricking wall when people compare Wipeout to F-Zero. They feel, play, and look completely different. And yes most, Fzero fans are mouth breathers
BallisticNG does have a mode (2280) where it mimics the handling, physics, and mechanics of modern Wipeout. Its pretty fun! Sadly all the tracks where made with the older style in mind so it doesn't mesh all that well. And there are very few custom tracks that are made specially for it (there is only like 2??? i played). The devs did say they will address this in update 1.5, but that's the last expected update. And at this rate it will be years away.
F-Zero X/GX > Wipeout
Truth
For me its Hydro Thunder.
Both F-Zero and Extreme-G were pretty good but the sad, cold, hard truth is that these kinds of racers are dead and nobody plays them, so nobody tries to make new ones and the last good ones are hella old
"nobody" plays them because the majority now are braindead normalgays with the intelligence of a vegetable
I've played the PS1 games, the PS3 game and the Vita game, are any of the others worth playing? Which ones?
Redout was neat
loved the soundtrack
shame the sequel sucks
>bought this game physically new and sealed
>includes a DLC code that expired like a year ago
god I hate sony
I really like the handling in Wipeout and how the progression curve feels infinite, it's the kind of game where you get better and better constantly and you can feel it. The driving also feels awesome. And you can tell professional designers worked on the series, other futuristic racing games aren't as cool as old Wipeout.
I liked Fusion even if pilots were cringe, but I couldn't get into 2048, I really hate the tracks and how they look.
I like most futuristic racing games, in fact they're the only kind of racing games I play, but I have to say, Rollcage Stage 2 is my all time favorite (ps1 version of course, because of the superior soundtrack)
>I couldn't get into 2048, I really hate the tracks and how they look
2048 has some rough art direction and questionable track design. There's so much visual clutter and shit all over the tracks (especially any with glass surfaces) which just doesn't mesh well with high speed racing.
>moving in slight curves genre
i don't see the appeal
