Here's the opening cinematic from WipEout 2048, plus as an added bonus, another version featuring a developer's commentary. Don't say we never give you anything nice.

Taking us on a bit of a journey through the evolution of motorsport, the trailer goes from classic old sports cars to anti-grav racing in a blur of flashy visuals. Remember, WipEout 2048 is set before even the original game, so this alternate historical context is meaningful.

Also, just in case you missed the metaphorical depth of that leaf at the start there, another vid featuring a commentary from Game Director Graeme Ankers and Art Director Lee Carus can be found below.

And if you fancy reading a bit more about WipEout and Sony Liverpool, you can do so in our recent look at the British dev talent behind the Vita.
