WipEout Pure (2007)
WipEout Pure is a 2007 racing video game made by Sony Studio Liverpool.
WipEout Pure brought the series to the PSP in 2005 with the same cool precision that defined the franchise on PlayStation. Anti-gravity craft from competing teams race across new circuits at speeds that compress reaction time to instinct, while weapons like plasma bolts and shields turn each race into controlled chaos. The soundtrack, curated from electronic artists, is as much a design element as the HUD. Downloadable content extended the game post-launch with extra tracks, craft, and skins.

A few thoughts on WipEout Pure
The WipEout aesthetic, speed plus electronic music plus aggressive competition, shows up most clearly in Burnout Paradise, which channels the same anything-can-happen energy at ground level. Mario Kart 8 is the friendlier cousin for the weapons-and-racing format.
