I think I belong to the very few ones that ever played the original, developed by Psygnosis (WipeOut PSX).
I played and finished it on Master System, Amiga and Genesis. What made this game so outstanding to me back then?
Atmosphere. The music-theme was so... I can't really describe. It was mysterious, perfectly fitting to the art-style, and something I can still listen to today.
The game itself was... well, not really bad, but controls were really horrible. It had a little lag, character moved too stiff, collision detection was really bad. The "story" itself was quite interesting though but definitely lacked more info.
Still to me a videogaming gem with outstanding visuals back then and I hope this game can live up to my very high expectations.

 

Edit: A yt-vid with the original music-theme:

 

YOU GET OUT OF MY BRAIN, MAN.

I literally linked that exact same song on my profile (go check, if you want!) when I heard the announcement :)

And I agree with everything you said about the game.  Atmosphere was what made the game great; the game itself was lacking.

Just one interesting thing to point out, though - the game was published by Psygnosis, but it was actually developed by Reflections.  Who went on to make Destruction Derby on the PS1, followed by the Driver series.  They were bought out by Ubisoft a few years ago.
