What I’d do for a Wipeout Omega Collection PC port…
This is super cool, though
It’s not Wipeout, but BallisticNG might still be interesting for you.
Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto… man, those were the days!
I’ve been aware of it for a while but never got around to playing it, thanks for the reminder!
How do you actually play it without smashing into the walls?
You’ve gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners
Never got used to the handling of the ships in Wipeout as a kid. Enjoyed F-Zero X a lot more. Didn’t really care for the combat aspects either.
I wish there was a good anti gravity racer for the PC with extensive ship customization and lots of unlockables though (as in playing to unlock, not paying). There’s pretty much just small indie titles and most of them aren’t even particularly good.
The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

Can’t get any closer to Wipeout than that.Redout feels more like F-Zero imo. GRiP isn’t anti gravity racer. Maybe more comparable to Extreme G. Reminds me of my old RC car though.
What the tech for running it in browser? WebAssembly? On mobile so couldn’t inspect the website . (Also kinda lazy)
It is indeed Wasm, it’s become the standard for games on the browser unless the game is made in javascript (which would run poorly)
If it is in rust, then probably yes
It’s good old C.
I whish games would recognize that some lanugages keyboards have the Y and Z keys swapped.
I wish some languages would realize their keyboards are wrong
Or that some people use non-“standard” layouts like Dvorak and Colemak. It’s not hard to just use the key code instead of relying on the key label.
This brings back some memories
