They say on the kickstarter page that they consider 1, 2097 and 3 to be the "pivotal versions" of the Wipeout series, but the prototype looks like the later games with it's join the dots speed pads, FOV change effect and craft physics which seem almost like Pulse in how strongly the craft is glued in position.

I'll wait until the last day of the kickstarter before I make a decision on whether or not I'll donate; hopefully by then they'll have decided what direction they want to take with the game, otherwise I'll just wait for post release reviews before parting with my money. I'm not going to optimistically throw my money at them while they themselves are still making basic design decisions.
