20 years of PlayStation: the Ridge Racer revolution – Digital Foundry revisits the PS1 game
Eurogamer:
"December 3rd, 1994 – Sony launches the original PlayStation in Japan, bringing with it seismic shift in the nature of console gaming. The 2D era of sprites and bitmap art was coming to an end, with polygon-driven 3D the new standard in state-of-the-art visuals. The Sega Saturn launched a couple of weeks ahead of Sony's debut console, but it was the PlayStation that set the standard for technological innovation in this new era. Namco's Ridge Racer launched alongside the new hardware – and it was a revelation."
