GREAT NEWS.
It's just a pity that Wipeout was more of a vanity series than a big seller
A Playstation staple, but not a franchise that ever sold huge numbers Wipeout PS4... Was going to be special though.DidntKnowJack

You can't tease me like this. You can't!
Truthfact: The only game I've ever imported was a physical version of Wipeout HD/Fury.

Yeah, some guys from studio Liverpool joined Evolution Studios and some guys made their own thing.
Mensrooms Mayhem was a game by former Liverpool employees iirc.

If I was them I wouldn't even give Sony the time of day after they shut down the previous developer. Go through Kickstarter.

Looking forward to their future titles with great interest
Better late than never to make up for an awful fucking mistake. Better mean more wipeout too, quality people I hope.
How about getting some more of that 2048 DLC work finished finally (after the PS4 project).
Wipeout just needs a well-designed tutorial mode with special lighting and variable options and racing lines for people (newcomers) to actually practice the tracks. That's it (and new marketing). Maybe some more open tracks/event modes that are about faster speed with more open maps like Star Wars Racing.

If I remember correctly Wipeout HD PS3 was even 1080p.
I do not think they know how to do less.

I played Wipeout 2048... I don't want this. Make a PS4 game to use up all the PS4 power, don't try to make it compatible with far worse hardware and end up gimping both versions. 2048 looked great for a handheld game but I wasn't really a fan of playing it. PS4/Xbone is a much better multiplat situation for everyone, or PS4/PC/Xbone.

Yup.
They could work around it though, a Wipeout-like game would be good enough for true fans.
But again, that's only assuming this new company has enough of the old team to do something on that scale.
Huh? Wipeout 2048 wasn't a port...unless you mean you want something running at 60fps and think that making it multiplat will mean that won't be possible.
If we're going to use the full power of the PS4, might as well leave out xb1 too.

Sounds like just a random studio? Not even owned by Sony? :/ Make a great next-gen racing game then guys. Futuristic too.

The resolution was dynamic but still hella impressive
Right at the beginning of a new generation would be the perfect time for a new Wipeout. Can you imagine a Sol 3!?

You need to take chances dammit
Why the slogan Greatness Awaits if you can't show Greatness without heavy consequences

oh how I wish. but that sounds like a good way to kill a new studio since we all know the sales would be abysmal. unless Nintendo really went all out on marketing and supporting it...
I wish.
but I think I'd still rather a new wipeout for the ps4. wipeout HD kept me warm on those cold and lonely early ps3 nights.

Man...most Wipeout games have been the same style... to imagine some different direction...what could it be!?
AAA Story mode? WipeOut 3048? Wipeout 1948? WHAT COULD IT HAVE BEEN!

Arcade racing games studios seriously got massacred last gen.

I think it was Kenny Linder here on GAF that posted something about no tracks/open world/ships could climb buildings kind of mayhem. Just wink twice if true.

Hey, was Wipeout not successful? Or is the future of the series just not clear because of the studio disbanding? Did Liverpool always make Wipeout?
Not sure if serious
Again: if that's what contracting studios to work on games meant we wouldn't have a developer called Platinum Games around anymore.

In essence, yes they always made Wipeout. Though Studio Liverpool rose from the ashes of the old company Psygosis. Psygnosis made the original games.
I think it's highly unlikely that they'll make Wipeout again. They were closed because they were not profitable. Now that they're independent, it wouldn't make financial sense for it to happen.
I hope I'm wrong, because Wipeout is cool beans but it just doesn't make much sense to me.

Unless it was a dramatically smaller scale and budget.

We need WipeOut!!!!!!
I think it did okay, but with the emergence of shooters dominating last gen, arcade racers slowly died out with as many genres.

Didn't a lot of their talent move to XDev and Evolution? Isn't XDev still located in the Studio Liverpool building?
