Go to wipeouthd.com; the music is there (and has been for some time) and it’s extremely good.

179 LouVelvet:

You can play the Wipeout XL game disc as a soundtrack. Skip the first track (game track) and enjoy. There are a couple of differences between the WOXL game disc tracks vs. the WOXL cd. The game disc has The Future Sound of London’s “Landmass”. One of my favorite tracks ever.

Hope it’s like the original Wipeout, nice and tough to master :o)

Seriously, I much rather have had the Wipeout HD this week over what we’re getting…

I remember several years ago when the energy drink RedBull first started appearing on store shelves. I saw it in the convenient store cooler, and something about the name and color on the can seemed oddly familiar to me, but I knew I had never seen this beverage before so I thought nothing of it. Well, my memory has finally been refreshed – RedBull ads and billboards appear along side the racetracks in wipEoutXL, long before it’s introduction into the American market. Apparently, RedBull has been selling in Europe for quite some time now, and since the game was developed and released there first, as well as the famous/infamous can of “liquid crack,” it makes perfect sense.

And now I can finally put that eerie feeling to rest along with my suspicions that Coca-Cola had somehow subliminally preconditioned my current addiction to their energy drink. *PHEW*

I was playing wipEout and wipEoutXL on the original Playstation back in the day, and people, let me just reiterate HOW AMAZING THESE SOUNDTRACKS WERE!

In fact, I still to this day will pop the original wipEout disc into my car stereo (that’s right, you could listen to the music on the game disc on any cd player). And if I remember correctly, right before a race began you could pause, take out the game disc, and put your own music cd in, then unpause and race to it! How about that, customizable soundtrack on the original PS!

I don’t think you could listen to the wipEoutXL game disc (I had to immediately go out and buy the soundtrack), but who could complain when you were racing to the sounds of Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Fluke, Future Sounds of London, Leftfield, and Underworld! Jesus, I just shocked MYSELF!

Thank you Daimion, I’m going to float through the next week and a half!

I hope we get more games on PSN of this quality.

I also hope the release date is the same for Europe, me being from the UK.
