Great interview and interesting to hear Jon's journey since the mid 2000's to now. I bought Sociable Soccer on Steam on its first release in 2015. My initial reaction, which hasn't changed, is that the field is too small. You kick or pass the ball 3 times and you are already at the goal. It is much smaller than Sensible Soccer. Hopefully the new game coming out has a larger field.
The only Wipeout game missing from these rankings is the 2d top down version that featured in Playstation Home. It isn't really worth mentioning though. Arguably Wipeout Merge wasn't worth mentioning either.
These rankings are spot on. Wipeout 2097 with the analog NeGcon was amazing. The lighting in 2097 has not been surpassed in the series. The intro gave us a glimpse of what games would look like in the future.
