An illustrated history of cult video game franchise Wipeout ¿ a unique fusion of cutting-edge graphic design, architectural futurism, electronic music and high-speed racing that has sold over 1.5 million copies to date. Ever since its debut in 1995, Wipeout has meant more than just hip, hyperspeed racing. As a vehicle for art, the franchise was defined by cutting-edge ¿club land¿ branding and typography from cult Sheffield agency The Designers Republic. Emblematic of PlayStation, Wipeout was futuristic and inclusive, moving games into a cultural fast lane. This book chronicles Wipeout¿s vision, struggles and achievements from first conception to future plans, in a unique union of groundbreaking graphic design and artwork. The extraordinary concept art created for the game imagines the planets and cities of a zero-G-racing-fuelled society, while the era-defining graphics and typography by The Designers Republic present an alternative design future, rich with sci-fi iconography.
