Get ready WipEout pre-order pilot...

TH3 T1M3 H45 C0M3! We have in our clutches a finished copy of WipEout: Futurism – a riot of tDR(emixed) iconography, fax-era design documents, interview-rich videogame history and countless fluro and metallic inks... it’s a thing of B34UTY.

A glimpse at our production prototype

Attention WipEout pre-order pilot!

In November 2023, Read-Only Memory asked whether you’d be interested in owning a copy of a book about the creation and legacy of the WipEout series. You clearly not only said ‘Yes’ but did so pretty sharpish, since the entire Special Edition run of just one thousand copies was reserved within days.

This is a big one personally for Nicky and I. We met whilst working on WipEout, Nicky on the WipEout art team at Psygnosis in Liverpool, myself at tDR™ in Sheffield. I think it is fairly safe to say that we were not thinking then that the game would have such a big impact on so many people. I have lost count of the amount of times that when speaking to people about WipEout, they go all misty-eyed and share stories of playing it all night after clubs and nights out, and of being obsessed with shaving that 100th of a second off their best time.
