So just to be clear on preorders:
- Retail gets 4 static themes (at least at Amazon)
- PSN gets an exclusive dynamic theme, 4 PSN avatars, plus an exclusive new ship?
I'm irritated at this trend of PSN getting exclusive items. I get that Sony wants us all on digital, but locking an exclusive ship behind it? Ugh. I guess I know which version I'm buying.

So far in WipEout I suck eventually when I hit a certain difficulty speed and can't progress (there are 5 speed tiers, right? I think I start sucking at 4), but it's just so much fun until that point at least!
I don't think I've really played a WipEout since one of the PSP ones (got it free from Sony as an apology for when they got hacked or something like that) and I really loved it. Got the Vita one free with PS+ and liked it, but didn't play much of it. Since I skipped the PS3 one, this collection is going to be amazing for me.
I almost bought Fast Racing RMX, but I've played enough racing games to know just from videos whether I'll like a game or not, and I was getting a lot of warning signals that I wouldn't like it. I can wait another 2 months for a great racing game, its been a LONG time since I played a racing game I really loved.

Now did they fix those impossible trophies?
I hope this sells well so they can make new wipeout games again.

where do you see this about a new ship?

edit: I guess "bonus ship" is included in retail version too.
and it seems, the only pre-order bonus in UK Store is dynamic theme

Yup, pretty irritating. I cancelled my Amazon pre-order of Gravity Rush 2 and pre-ordered on PSN instead for the avatars.
Anyway, can't wait for this. Loved HD Fury but never played 2048, so I'm excited!

Well shit, I wonder what it could be.

I'm going digital. Bit disappointed at the PSVR support omission; after Dirt Rally VR I'm sure it could have worked, but would probably need a lot more work than a remaster. I'll have to live with dynamic <4k 60 FPS on a 55" HDR TV. Guess I'll live!
I've​ bought and loved every Wipeout game (Fusion was a stretch, but even that), except for 2048. I couldn't justify a Vita, so this is going to be 1/3 new to me.
Not too bothered about the included music as I'll probably Spotify. There's an official Sony Wipeout playlist and I might recreate my PS3 custom playlist. Always needs to have PETROL by Orbital as it reminds me of playing the original, many years ago.

Instantly pre-ordered. Will try for the Platinum again too provided the online trophies aren't total crap (ex. Bling Brigade in HD, All Gold Medals for the 200+ online "events" in 2048)
The dynamic skin looks great (applied it immediately), although I agree that something more like Fury HD's main menu would make for much more badass skin.

How dynamic is the 4k?

Should be $30 for those who already own it on PS3.

Yes, they will. And to 1080p(PS4)/4K(Pro) HDR too.

The US PSN store says:
That wording has me pretty sure the ship is a PSN exclusive. It's not listed on Amazon, nor is the dynamic theme.

They might have because of music licencing but I'm sure the new music will be great too, most Wipeout soundtracks are normally good.

Thanks; I didn't realise it was up for pre-order already! Will definitely buy this next month when I have my £10 credit from spending £50 this month. I've missed Wipeout do damn much!
Good answer but I think you're cut down 15% of your speed.

They've said it's separate, unfortunately
I do hope there is some kind of weird cross game playlist (be it online or whatever)
Doubt you'll find that out until DF test it.
Day 1 for me. Strongly prefer physical although for this game I like the idea of digital for always available. I'll probably end up double-dipping (triple? since this already the second time buying these games) when whichever version of the game I didn't buy goes on sale...

Okay, maybe I was wrong. Either I missed this on the Amazon page or they updated it:
So it looks like both PSN and retail include the new ship and the PS4 avatars. The difference is the PSN version has the dynamic theme as a preorder, whiel Amazon's preorder includes 4 static themes.

Does the retail version include art book, like the digital does? That, and the convenience sways me towards digital. If I'll be playing this as much as the PS3 version, it's better without having to use a disc every time.

Oh YO the preorder ship is VanUber? That's so cool, they haven't had that team in a game in ages

Funny story: this was me when I got the first Wipeout in 1996. The only reason I didn't quit was because I just had this and Ridge Racer to play on my PS1, so at some point it was either git gud or only play Ridge Racer for god knows how long. It took a while to crack that first corner, and way longer to finally win the full championship, but by that point I was hooked.
I wonder sometimes if I would love Wipeout as much as I do now if I'd found it much later in life, when time is at a premium and I have so many games at my disposal.

Not sure but this got me wondering does this include the Wipeout HD Fury DLC pack

So it sounds like there's a race box mode for each game even 2048 (which did not have originally.) That's cool!

I wish they would add all the Wipeout Pure tracks (including all the DLC tracks), too.
They were so cool back in the day.

The PS4 system supports this feature at a base level. You can listen to spotify in basically any game as far as I'm aware and I believe this also goes for music on hard drives, etc.
8 in wipeout HD + 8 in Fury (4 only in zone mode) + 10 in 2048

Great! Thank you for answering my question.
I hope this game does well enough for Sony to develop a real deal sequel. Imagine a game built from the ground up for the PS4? Shit I think eyeballs might skip the melting process and just straight up pop. Turn on HDR and your soul is gonna burn.

I don't see anything about an art book on Amazon, though I don't see an art book mentioned on the PSN page (U.S.) either.

Love the work you guys put into your own, it looks and sounds fabulous!
Oh man, you're so right. But I could say that about most of the songs in the games! I want my Steady Rush, Aerodynamic, Just Hiss, Le Night Dominator etc!
No lies detected. If this menu music is not in the game in say way or form, I will not be getting rid of my PS3. I'll boot that bastard up and listen to that bass all day.
Especially with the renowned status the games have for their soundtracks. Seems like a perfect opportunity to follow up one of the first games to have their soundtrack released on vinyl (WipEout 2097) with a new compilation.
I'd love to see a DLC pack down the road with more remastered tracks! Pure had godlike DLC support (at least in EU), I would be over the moon being able to experience those again.
So excited to pick this up and revel in WipEout again, finally! Thanks for throwing us a bone Sony, I'll buy it digital for the theme and extras and also physical because I love this series so much. Hope it gets enough interest to warrant a potential new title! That'd be my dream come true.
