R8 Games – a team consisting of former Psygnosis members – has released a teaser trailer for its upcoming spiritual successor to WipeOut, Formula Fusion. Formula Fusion will be coming first on the PC, and this teaser trailer gives us a glimpse at the visual and gameplay treatment for it. Now while this is – most obviously – gameplay from a pre-alpha version of the game, I do have to say that I was expecting more from the team responsible of WipeOut. Enjoy the trailer after the jump!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I think it looks good, it gives off that wipeout feel
I did quite enjoy the WipeOut games, Glad this game is coming to PC!
Wow. I’m a HUGE Wipeout fan. This is great news.
Don’t be fooled by the seemingly slow pace of the ships – in Wipeout the speed is increased as you medal up and increase your ranking. In the beginning it’s real slow. Eventually the levels will fly by in a blur (assuming they’re keeping that same progression model here).
F*CKN Awesome 😀
I told You about Psygnosis 😀 They Back -> Finally, now im waiting for some RPG like Perihelion The Prophecy 😀

If only consoles weren’t holding it back. Wait…………………….
As long as they include bots to play against this might be ok to invest in, because come on people we all know how MP only games die in a few months.
I’m really interested in who off the wipeout team was involved? I pretty much know what everyone i used to work on wipeout 1 and wipeout 2097 with is doing. I guess it could be someone from the Leeds office and wipeout3? Unless you see a wipeout style game from ourselves Playrise or the team at Firesprite, I’d be worried about any “spiritual successor” matching expectations.
