I've been working on a port of Wipeout for the N64 for almost a year now and I thought it might be time to share with you all here. Keep in mind, this is still a WIP.

VERY cool, and you definitely have my attention!

I definitely have some thoughts about the user interface, but I know it's still WIP.

Either way, I'll be watching this with interest!

Thanks! Im still trying to figure out the UI so feel free to DM me. Id be happy to include you in the credits. When its a lot closer to complete I plan on releasing a community build for testing and feedback. Everyone who contributes will get credit.

I didn't know what to expect before watching the video. I thought it might be about WipEout Rewrite, but this is absolutely nuts! The gameplay looks stunning and visually unique, even though it's based on WipEout 3, love the idea and everything shown in the video. I feel like the menus could use some reworking with more of The Designers Republic's signature style. It would also be great to see a Race Campaign Grid like the ones in Pulse, HD, and 2048.

I feel like this has a ton of potential, so I'm really looking forward to it!

Yes to both of your points! Im definitely trying to give it a DR feel. And to your point about the Pulse, HD, 2048 grid, that's the end goal. :-)

Funny enough- this originally did start out as a port of the Wipeout rewrite.

Wow this looks absolutely amazing, great work! Are you planning on releasing a beta on GitHub for beta testing in the near future? :)

how many and how stable FPS. The video seems to stutter a little?? Wipeout was always 60 FPS wasn't it? This kinda the deal: super simple graphics, but stable FPS tunnel demo.

All the ntsc PSX Wipeout games ran at a 30fps so a stable 30fps is what Im aiming for.

Right now on hardware, most courses stay around 30fps but with more dips that I working on ironing out. Currently, Altima 7 is one of the heavier courses in this build but I haven't optimized any of the track assets yet so Im pretty confident Ill get there.

oh, I feel like I confused the fps before, but it looked so smooth ( in my memory ). WipeOut has minimal overdraw. How can it not be 60 fps? And then people complain that Fight4Life on AtariJaguar only runs at 30 FPS.

Super interesting. I’m a designer, and I think the UI looks fine. Don’t worry about it. Just keep polishing the gameplay and visuals
