![]() It's exhilarating stuff, and the track design here is more often than not excellent, the 14 circuits on offer serving up a neat balance of flow and friction. ![]() Take Hyderabad's stomach-churning rollercoaster of a ride, dipping quickly from the bronzed heavens down into subterranean street markets. ![]() This is a scuzzier, downbeat view of the future, more in keeping with the likes of WipEout 2048 than the more pristine earlier entries. There's a nice little nod there, if you're of an age to feel a rush of nostalgia when listening to Autechre, to the F1 feeder class that used to pound the streets of Birmingham through the late 80s, and the SuperPrix circuit feels like it'd slot nicely into Pacer somewhere. You're running ship to ship at speeds in excess of 1000kph, working up to the near-impossible-to-handle elite class from the starting ranks of the F3000 class. So yes, Pacer feels familiar, which is no bad thing at all. Pacer leans into the golden age of Sony's series, recruiting The Designers Republic and Warp Records, two names as synonymous with the bleep scene of the 90s as WipEout itself. As it has every right to, seeing as some of the original team behind its development, back when it was still known as Formula Fusion before its 2019 rebranding, worked on WipEout 3.
