The original WipEout was the first game that I ever played on the PS1, and to be honest it did a really good job on convincing me why the console was worth owning back in the day.I was legitimately impressed by the visuals, framerate and the game's style. Playing WipEout for the first time really was one of those "holy shit" moments for me. It played like a cross between Super Mario Kart and the original F-Zero, but with fully polygon environments and an attempt at realistic physics (for the time) . Sure it didn't look as good as say... Daytona USA in the arcades, but on a home console it was as good as it could get upon release.It captured the essence of 1995 perfectly, and I loved the Designer Republic styling, UK techno music and gritty style. It was an awesome experience.Also, I have to post the pre-rendered WipEout pitch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix35c_8DEXk That made an appearance in the 1995 movie Hackers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATlszssL-eI
