It's a wonderful coincidence that my first post for Ediedo falls exactly on the 20th anniversary of the UK launch of PlayStation 1. More poignant for me is that launch title wipEout was the first game I released. Little did that amazing creative team realise the significance the game or PlayStation would have towards both games and popular culture.
We had no constraints as the rules had not been defined, whether that was in the technical approach, music licensing or graphic design. It's a freedom that I recognise again in many of the tech and games companies I work with and meet.
So today in celebration I'll share the story of WipEout as told by Eurogamer. It was my starting point on this wonderful industry I continue to love and in this blog I intend to share the next chapter.
