PS1-era Sony nearly fell out with one of its most legendary studios because the "traitors" put Wipeout on Nintendo 64: "What the f*** was Psygnosis doing on the N64?"

PlayStation eventually killed Wipeout developer Psygnosis despite it helping define the PS1 era, but the companies nearly fell out years earlier over Wipeout 64: "What the f*** was Psygnosis doing on the N64?"

You can't tell the story of PlayStation without acknowledging Psygnosis. Sony acquired the British studio in the early '90s ahead of the launch of the PS1, and games like Wipeout, Colony Wars, and its Formula 1 series would help define the console's identity, especially in Europe. You might be confused, then, about why Psygnosis went and made a Nintendo 64 version of Wipeout at the height of the console war. As it turns out, so was Sony.
