Item Condition

Wipeout 3 for the original PlayStation is factory sealed in its original shrink wrap — untouched, unopened, and exactly as it left the production line. This is as complete and pristine as any physical copy of a game can be, representing a genuine piece of gaming history that has never been cracked open. Factory sealed PlayStation 1 games are increasingly rare to find in this state, and owning one means preserving that experience exactly as it was intended. Please refer to the provided photos for the exact details of the item's condition.

Item Description

"A believable future" was the brief. Instead of toxic orange skies and ten moons, lead artist Nicky Westcott wanted Wipeout 3's anti-gravity league to look like a city you could almost visit, so Psygnosis brought in The Designers Republic, the Sheffield studio famous for underground techno album covers, to design the game's icons, billboards, color schemes and custom typefaces. The result is the cleanest, most stylish Wipeout on the original PlayStation, and one of the console's few games to run in a high-resolution mode with a 16:9 widescreen option.

On the track, it is the series' formula honed to a razor edge. Eight racing corporations, eight circuits, and craft that live or die by their energy shields: take too much damage and you are out, so you dive into the pit lane to recharge, knowing every second there costs you shield or position. Hyperthrust buys raw speed by draining that same shield, airbrakes carve the tightest corners, and weapon grids hand out rockets, missiles, mines and defensive tools, including new weapons alongside the returning favorites. Six modes include the points-based Eliminator and a multi-race Tournament, plus two-player split-screen. It was also the first Wipeout built for analog sticks, and North American players got an extra kick: because the game was tuned for European 25-frame PAL timing, the NTSC version runs noticeably faster.

The soundtrack is a statement. For the first time, Psygnosis handed the music to a single director, the Welsh DJ Sasha, who contributed his own tracks and curated a cohesive set featuring The Chemical Brothers, Orbital and the Propellerheads. The disc is a Mixed Mode CD, so those tracks also play in a standard CD player.

Critics loved it (it sits at 89 on Metacritic, and GamePro called it the best futuristic racer ever on the PlayStation), yet it was not a commercial hit, and it became the last Wipeout on the original console before Wipeout Fusion moved to PS2. Wipeout 3 is a time capsule of late-'90s club culture, graphic design and speed, the PS1 era's final word on anti-gravity racing.
