Yeah sorry for the inaccurate statement. For me the only games that matter are WipEout games. Sadly.

Isn't it ironic that Psygnosis which developed the Lemmings game couldn't handle how to sell games to lemming consumers ? ;)
Unfortunately the gaming industry is more or less following the steps of its media ancestors like the cinema. But just like cinema there will always be some outstanding titles that don't get attention only because the commercials wash everyone's brain. You just have to learn how to sort them out of the mass of riskless yet tasteless AAA titles that we are going to see more often every year.
I remember when I was like 7 years old my dad put me infront of the tv with a blindfold and let me hear the intro of wipeout. I had no clue what it was, tought that it was some sort of action movie. I was wrong, it was WIPEOUT! ooo ooo oo I did suck at the start of wipeout, did not wanted to learn to fly with airbrakes XD. at the just before the 2e wipeout came by i started to get good at it. With wipeout 2097 I Learned to airbrake and ooh I became good with that game. (I easly lapped my mates, not noob friendly game :P) then wipe3out came and i almost completed the entire singel player!! that is: venom, vector, rapier difucultie modes with all ships on every track! had like half of the first places on phantom mode. Loved the secred uber-start that you could do with a ship in wipe3out. normal start was hold the button. super start: put the trottle on the correct spot. and uber-start: hold the trolle on the right spot and hold the hp absorber for more speed and at the point of launch release the hp coverter for speed so that you loose 1hp but get a start that was almost two times faster then the super-start. then i skipped the ps2 and psp versions. played the psp version a few times. Then I bought my ps3 specaly for wipeout HD!! played it alot and even came at the top of the zone record of v-K got beaten by a few now..... but still 84 zones is not bad. played the singelplayer two times one to get the skins. and a second to beat all ai on elite. I wanted a platina on WIPEOUT AND I GOT IT!! to bad it will be mij last :'( Well i still play zone mode sometimes infront of my big 50" tv and sit like 1 meter infront of it, cokpit view and feel the game all the way!!!!!! To be continued... I realy hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sony you have to come with alot of good titles to make me want to buy a ps4! because wipeout hd is still the only reason why I would buy a ps3 if i see all the games out there today!
sl staff, thanks for all the hard work!
ps can you sent me the copy of the new wipeout version. so that i can finish it and play it!
Cant we do a kickstarter project to get the team back to work on the game I would glady pay alot to see that happen
PPS I'm sorry to all the people that cant read well enough to read my bad writing.
I have to agree with Medusa and vincoof on the comment above (#84)... the sheeple/ lemmings are getting robbed blind with these AAA titles.
It makes me laugh. but be careful talking about the mass media brainwashing people... you will get called an extremist buy the lemmings :lol
Wipeout is a propa game, i just hope sony don't give up on Wipeout completely if they do then Sony, microsoft will be saying "Contender Eliminated"
RIP Psygnosis. A salute to you and your amazing team. Thanks for the wonderful memories, and for inspiring me to join the industry. Good luck.
My best wishes to all the fans of the game, and this community.
Haven't been here in a while, but I had to log in when I heard this news.
This is a real shame. One of Sony's best studios, gone like that. It's safe to say that I've lost some respect for Sony today. Hopefully everyone who worked at SL got moved somewhere else and aren't out of work now.
It's been great, but all good things must end at some point I suppose.
I havent been on here in such a long time, almost criminal.
Had to come back when I read the IGN news this morning, SL closed..... Heartbroken.
Echoing my Facebook ramblings, my thoughts are with those at SL, especially :infoxicated, buddy we need to catch up cos this news sucks worse than hearing that a relative has passed away. You have all put your heart and souls into this and you should leave with your collective heads held high knowing that your work has not been in vain and will never be forgotten.
Truly a sad day and a seemingly heartless move considering that WipEout kinda made the PlayStation the icon of home entertainment.
To everyone involved, past and present, thankyou.
Was gone to running camp for 5 days with no Internet, come back and now SL is gone! This is awful news, first, we will not see another wipeout game from them. I mean someone else developing wipeout! How about some drafting, CPU assist weapons, and a touch speed for the person in behind. Also, how about tracks so wide you never hit. How about some unidentified bugs that break the game ( full track jumping, snaking, ect). How about no pitch control and glued to the track racing. NOPE! I don't want someone else without wipeout knowledge making another game. Whoever gets to make one, one name only comes to mind, " NICK BURCOMBE". Thank you Nick for this awesome series, and if it ever gets another chance, please! Oh please apply for the position. The new Wipeout game was. " radically different for the ps4 ". This scares me for sure. My guess is this game will be moved somewhere and finished. I doubt they would waste a game that far along, but I wouldnt have hope that it stays like wipeout.
Secondly, I am extremely disappointed as to what it means for 2048.
1) the made a great playing game
2) people complained about racebox,Adhoc, custom controls, and a TT grid. These were not going to be added, so after a significant amount of time of this, it seemed that they were finally working on these issues, I was getting pretty excited about racing people at A + speed on the track we chose.
3) studio shut down, now we will never be able to really play eachother, incredibly dissapointing. The A + challenges are a complete first lap luck fest getting hammered all over the place, but there are no proper A+ time trials to play.
4) Sony is mostly at fault here for sure. You let the team work on a ps4 game for 18 months, then take it away. You give the 2048 the go ahead on new content, then stop them as they are going to release new content for the game probably within a few months.
5) SL should have left the basic wipeout Stuff in the game in the first place. This removal of These features are responsible for the wipeout community not enjoying 2048 for years to come against eachother. While it seems like it was going to be fixed, now it never will be
:(
6) well, it looks like I have time to catch up on all the old games now
Why all of the best has to come to an end? :( I've never thought Sony could make such a decision to a hardened veteran studio like Studio Liverpool. I'm also feeling bad for all of the people of SL, who were on the lead of the creativity until this day.
All of us are very thankful for all of the effort you guys put in all of your projects and games you did. And also, we hope you guys find another chance to keep fulfilling any new projects you have.
On a positive note, Hellfire made Forbes magazine! You're famous Charlie! http://www.forbes.com/sites/danielny...and-psygnosis/
