Released by Psygnosis in 2000 exclusively for the PlayStation in Europe, Wipeout 3: Special Edition is the definitive release of the iconic futuristic anti-gravity racing franchise. Building upon the sleek aesthetics and high-speed gameplay of Wipeout 3, this expanded edition features 16 tracksโincluding eight remastered circuits from previous gamesโalongside refined physics, craft handling tweaks, and intense weapon combat set to a pounding electronic soundtrack.
How to Play
Pilot your chosen anti-gravity craft through futuristic tracks at blistering speeds, collecting weapon and shield power-ups from energy pads scattered across the track. Complete races in single-race or championship modes while managing shield energy to avoid total craft destruction. Browser controls for the PS1 emulator are mapped as follows:
- Arrow Keys (D-Pad): Steering and pitch control
- X Key (Cross Button): Accelerate
- Z Key (Square Button): Airbrake left / Secondary control
- C Key (Circle Button): Use equipped weapon / Hyper-boost
- S Key (Triangle Button): Change camera view
- Q / E Keys (L1 / R1 Buttons): Left and right airbrakes for tight cornering
- Enter (Start): Pause / Options menu
Tips & Strategy
- Master the Airbrakes: Use the L1 and R1 airbrakes (or Q/E keys) in combination with steering to drift through hairpin turns without slamming into track walls or losing speed.
- Manage Shield & Boost Energy: Hyper-boosting drains your ship’s shield energy. Absorb unnecessary weapons in pit lanes or budget your boost carefully to prevent exploding on the track.
