I've never played any of these games, what's the best PS1 entry in the series?

>> No.9909396

3 is easily the best and renders the previous two as being unworthy of your time.

>> No.9909398

>>9909396
damn, for real? Main reason I'm asking is because I saw someone selling wipeout XL for cheap and I was curious if it was any good. I'd imagine these games are like F-Zero X for the playstation crowd, but I might be wrong.

>>9909398
I’m over exaggerating to a degree but 2 isn’t so bad, just 3 has the best graphics, gameplay, aesthetics (by far), tracks and music. It’s better in every way, basically. 1 is really archaic in comparison, even to 2. If you had to get only one then I’d pick 3 by a long shot.

>> No.9909421

3 looks the best but 2097 has better items and not faggy boost system.

I'd say Wipeout XL if you're emulating or live in the NTSC region. If you live in the PAL region and you're playing on hardware go with Wipeout 3 Special Edition. I could never get into the PS2 games, probably something to do with the switchover from 50hz to 60hz TVs at the time.

There was only one and the handling was very different from the rest of the franchise. Kind of a black sheep game.

Pulse (the second PSP game) was also ported to PS2, but its handling is also different from the PS1 games, albeit not as drastically as Fusion's.
Fusion makes more sense if you consider it a spin-off.

Don't listen to him. Wipeout XL (2097 in PAL) is better than 3 and 3 Special Edition. But the internet jerks off to 3 because it is Wipeout's Ridge Racer Type 4 where it has pretty aesthetics and play time is extremely padded out. If you want a good game, stick to Wipeout XL and Rage Racer. Absolutely buy the shit out of it if it's cheap.

PS2 had two Wipeout games. Fusion and Pulse which the latter was a PSP game initially. Has some very minor changes but never got PSP's DLC and custom livery function.

Is it CIB? Black label? $20 might be okay considering the shitty never ending retro game bubble we're in, but that depends on how much you like the series and if you have money you want to waste on this slippery slope.

2097 for the soundtrack and the racing is excellent too. I highly recommend gtsurfers for the ps2 as well

Wipeout 3 sadly only has 4 good tracks, whereas the predecessor ones where mostly bangers.
The retro tracks on SE are a visual downgrade too

They could have saved the front triangles by going pointy and the back sides could be angled backwards. It's also not just the model that's shitty, the textures are garbage too.
