    2097 was cool (and groundbreaking) for sure, and I used to listen to a lot of the music that was in all the games and bands the designers had done artwork for.

    But I love the design in wipeout 3. I know it’s not for everyone but it was the same designers as 2097, and a deliberate choice by them to try to create something minimal that would feel like a real racing league. I think they did a fantastic job. I love that there’s no logo.

    If anything, I think it holds up better today than it did at the time.

    Also touches like the birds on the first track are fantastic.

    (Btw I’m not talking about the special edition where they made the text bigger and uglified it significantly)
