G-Police was fantastic - it was somewhat hamstrung on PS1 by the technical limitations, but the story was absolutely phenomenal. I need to go back and play it - and eventually play Weapons of Justice too.
In fairness, they had some graphics options in where you could manually set the draw distance - and thus, the tradeoff for frame rate - on a slider. Fortunately, the targeting button worked even when the draw distance was set super close and enemies were culled by the engine, so with a change of play style one could enjoy the game at a sensible pace.
I still remember mission 9 though - collecting the bombs and dropping them safely elsewhere. That was infuriating.

Fingers crossed for this game.
I only ever played it on PC. I can imagine how it might be scaled back for the PS1 hardware. Hopefully I can try that out some day!

Do people really associate Psygnosis mostly with the PS1?? Gross.
Amiga baby. I’m ancient.
Is there HOTAS support?
Article doesn’t make this clear, but there’s a next fest demo you can check out right now if you want
The demo really impressed me too. Not super polished, but very good bones. Very pretty, very good vibes.
