A Psygnosis Tribute made by Psygnosis in 1996

As you all probably know, a few months ago, Sony officially shut down Sony:Liverpool, previously known as Psygnosis

well, while youtubing for some of the studio's games I came across a pitch video created by Psygnosis to show the current Psygnosis heritage to various key people in Sony

enjoy

its a shame, they were honestly a huge force in the background of SCE.

When you read bout how much they influenced the PS1,2 and to a lesser extent the PS3, some of the of the success sony had can be attributed to them.

They pretty much designed the dev kit that was standard for PS1 developement which i'd say is a pretty big part of the PS1 and to an extent it sucess that it was built with chepa and comparable PC hardware with the PS1 in mind.

Colony wars,G-Police,Roll cage,Destruction Derby 1 and 2,Shadow of the beast,Overboard,Discworld,Kingsleys adventure and a ton more to boot were developed by these guys.

But nope sony done what MS done to rare and ripped the soul out, yet nobody seems to care bout Psygnosis unless your old enough to remember some of those games.

Wipeout, G-Police, Colony Wars, Destruction Derby Were the tip of the iceberg for them. The stuff they did on the Amiga like Shadow of the Beast, Menace and Awesome that were groundbreaking at the time. There would be no GTA without them.

And with the fall of Sony Liverpool, the futuristic/sci-fi racer died. :(nintendoboy16

DMA designed and developed Lemmings (strangely another IP sony are sitting on), which made them mountains of cash and they were ambitious.Still a core element of Rockstar north to this day be ambitios as possible and it shows.

Psygnosis were immense and a powerhouse,then sony came at their peak and by 2000 they were the formula 1 team.....despite the rich history.

Yeah it did...because it was better than all of those.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] From my understanding, Wipeout got more recognition than other futuristic/sci-fi racers, more so than Nintendo's F-Zero, Acclaim's Extreme G, and Lucasarts' Star Wars Pod Racing.nintendoboy16

you have to understand, he's a sony fanboy, so obviously he has to say wipeout is better then the competition, but he also has to say that the studio sucks because Sony closed it down :P

it is a shame such a talented studio was shut down.. am sure Sony should have kept such studio and invest in their creativity in creating new IPs

[QUOTE="Obviously_Right"]

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] That's subjective. Personally, I like F-Zero more than Wipeout and Star Wars Pod Racing (never played Extreme-G though).nintendoboy16

Wipeout 2097 rapier class.....now you cant say that was never ballbustingly hard.

oh or phantom class.

YAWN. I'd moved onto way more powerful PC games by then.

for their era those games were top quality games......and strangely wipeout/2097 were on PC.

funny they finished off that video with Formula 1, that's the series they spent way too much time working on in later years, at the expense of their other classic games they never got to make follow ups tolamprey263

blameth the sony for such hijinks.

Wipeout XL. That was it. I had Wipeout XL for the PSX in late 1996. I remembered racing games being my favorite on consoles at the time. Wave Race 64 on the N64 and Wipeout XL on the PSX. I recall liking the soundtrack for Wipeout XL although I can't remember any of it now.
