IGN - This October, less than six months since the release of the original game on Kinect, Wipeout 2 drops on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. With a host of lessons learned from the first game, the development team has aimed the sequel to its core audience: families and children. To this end, the development team have altered the difficulty, and implemented numerous minor changes. The short turn-around time means no drastic, game-changing modifications have occurred in hopes of delivering fans of the first a cleaner, more enjoyable family game.
Want to enjoy all the crazy fun of the Wipeout television show on your iOS device? Activision is making it happen again with Wipeout 2, which comes with ten new seasons, or 90 new levels, and even more obstacles. Your goal is to run, jump, and dive through the challenges presented to you, as you play as one of ten different characters. According to the game developer, these include a zombie, a pirate, and a pop star. If you are looking to complete more levels, we suggest you to check out the following Wipeout 2 cheats, tips and tricks, as they can help you through the challenges.
Eurogamer:
"Every Sunday, we bring you an article from our archive - and this week, to celebrate the original PlayStation's 20th birthday, we present the story of the studio behind one of the console's most iconic games.
In Hackers, the 1995 cult teen cyber thriller, a young Angelina Jolie and an American-accented Jonny Lee Miller play WipEout in a club. Established hacker Angelina is pretty good at the game, and has the top score. But then upstart hacker genius Jonny smashes it to bits. They hate each other. They love each other."
One of the crown jewels of Sony's first party lineup before Shuhei foolishly shut the studio down.
Just think how great it would have been to have a Wipeout game from PlayStation's premier racing developer for the launch of the PS4. Instead the whole studio was shut down and priority was given to Evolution Studios, which brought us that mess called DriveClub over a year late.
RIP Studio Liverpool. Hands-down some of the best talent that Sony had, putting out a stunningly gorgeous high-speed racer at 1080p/60fps only a couple of years into the PS3 lifecycle.
Do agree it seemed a ridiculous decision to shut studio Liverpool they never released a bad game however I disagree with you about evolution studio. Evolution have also a good pedigree, driveclub is solid and will be built upon it is trying to do something different, the net code was the problem. If we are not careful there will be no studio Liverpool or evolution.
Im pretty sure i read somewhere that some of the liverpool staff was taken on by evo... we may yet see another wipeout.
We really need another Wipeout, it's one of the best IP's Sony has :(
What about Psygnosis? I want another Colony Wars! Its the perfect timing too because space shooters and sci fi is so back in again and the graphics would be incredible!
EDIT: Oh wait, is Psygnosis and Studio Liverpool the same thing?? Just saw Psygnosis in the intro of the video. They made amazing games! I loved G-Police adn they had an F-1 racer at some point too
They were foolish to shut them down, as now most of them have formed their own studio and are making a game very similar to Wipeout that will be multiplatform. Sony lost a jewel of an exclusive with that stunt.
Actually just bought Wipeout 2048 for Vita at Gamestop for like $7 the other day.
I like it a lot so far.
Just bought the HD+Fury 24 track Bundle DLC as well so I still need to experience all those tracks.
Only other Wipeout game I played was Pure for PSP which was amazing, so I'm hoping some of the HD+Fury tracks are close to those.
* They are making a new Wipeout type of game though so there is a spiritual successor on the way I think for 2015 on PC or maybe other platforms. Looks cool, but I forgot the name of the game.
Anyways, solid series, hope to see it continue via this other franchise.
@hiredhelp and @Whyowhy
Here's a link I've just found about some of their old games. Some I didn't even realise were theirs. Maybe they were just the publisher for some of them.

Wish I had more bubbles to reminisce about the old gaming days :-)
WP - "Wipeout 2 is Activision and The Future Games of London's latest release for the iOS, Android and Kindle Fire platforms. Being based off of the TV show, the plot is of course predictable, but as expected for a TV show that is essentially the real-life version of Super Mario 64, the game version is an insanely tough and challenging platformer with a nearly endless amount of levels."
Sigh
The first one sucks too.
