Wipeout 3 is a speed racing game released exclusively for the PlayStation by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1999. The game has a difference from the games Other racing, players will control a ship using zero gravity technology instead of a conventional car. Set in the future of racing, players will control the anti-gravity ships owned by the corporations manufacturing these ships. The game offers a variety of ships, each with its own velocity and shape. However, they have one thing in common that is equipped with a shield. This shield works to absorb the damage of a ship on a collision course. If the shield is lost, the anti-gravity ship will probably be thrown off the track. This means that players will be eliminated from the race and ranked in the final position. Players can also recreate this shield by going into a special lane and separate from the main race track. These lanes are scattered along the main road. Players will enter here for a certain period of time. The shield generated depends on the time the player is in the pit lane. The more shields will be created the longer the ship stays in the track.
In addition to the shield, each ship is also equipped with two other objects that are Airbrakes and Hyperthrust. Airbrakes are useful for navigating tight corners to get around the corner most precisely. Hyperthrust is used to increase the speed of the racing boat and the player can adjust the amount of Hyperthrust that they want to use. However, one thing to keep in mind when using Hyperthrust. Hyperthrust will drain the amount of the racing guard shield. This means that the shield will reduce coverage when the player uses Hyperthrust and make the ship more vulnerable.
At the main racetrack, there will be items or weapons that give strength to Racing boats are scattered on it. Some weapons will be used to defend the racing ship. For example, the shield will protect the racing vessel from being immune to collisions and damage for a limited period of time. Weapons of attack include rockets, multi-beam missiles, mines … to attack competitors. Unlike its predecessors, the game offers an autopilot function. In this mode, it will help your racing ship safer through difficult bends.
