What some of these games came with only 8 tracks and people were happy!?
Looking forward to the full collection. 26 tracks is reasonable.

Wipeout HD and Fury were digital only releases and didn't cost anywhere near to 60 bucks.
And Wipeout never was about sheer mass of content. It was about mastering the gameplay.

Ah fair enough. For the second point though I'd argue the best games have both

Ridge Racer 1 had like 1 track with 2 variations and I played it for weeks.
Quantity =/= quality. Most racers I've played who had dozens of tracks usually had lots of forgettable garbage or copy paste between them. I'd take 8 completely unique tracks over it any day. Especially if they're crafted like the ones in Wipeout.

For me personally I'd get bored pretty quickly with such little content. Expectations have increased massively in 2017 though when the average game offers 40+ hours entertainment.
I feel the same way about barebones fighting games as opposed to those that are feature/content rich. Never really believed that mastering "gameplay" has to come at the expense of giving players vast and varied content. The best games of most genres usually have both.

A game like Wipeout is fun to play for an evening now and then. For me it doesn't need to become a grind that offers over 40 hours. Its an arcade game at heart, though developed for consoles. You can easily get those amount of hours if the netcode is good and multiplayer stays alive.
As for fighters, yeah, SFV and SCV were gimped in terms of single player content. But its not like Wipeout doesn't have anything to offer besides racing. It has lots of unique modes you won't find in other racing games in fact, such as Zone or elimination. The campaign of 2048 was fun as well.

Best birthday present ever! I hope this sales well and we will see a completely new iteration another day.
I dunno. I need to dig into Forza Horizon 4 a bit more as I'm really impressed with what I've played. I can only play it when I'm visiting family as I don't have an Xbox One, tho (and none of my friends or co-workers have one)

OMG I need this!!!
Right there with ya. Hopefully there's some older tracks too, just got Wip3out SE working on my Vita and the soundtrack is beyond god-tier. Xpander and PvD's Avenue are the shit while AG racing.
Ah damn, shame they didn't use yours! Hopefully the music in that video I've seen floating around isn't in the theme and is just background from something else. Because it was hideous.I can confirm that the dynamic theme, visually, is excellent.
My only nitpick being I would've preferred they just use the HD fury title music.
On an aside, we had started developing our own (just for fun because I'm insane and I love wipeout) that no one is gonna get to use (except me). In the process I even came up with a way to do reflection effects on the metal vehicle components. We are leaving the door open if XDEV would like to see something awesome
https://youtu.be/deX-C_UfuyU
Ugh, isn't it just? If we had that as the dynamic theme, I'd be in heaven.
I'd say possibly rights, but more likely to do with The Designers Republic than music.Why isn't wipE'out"2097 in this though?
It is the best one still imo, I wonder if it is due to a rights or music license issue.
They're releasing some new songs this year. Given how far off Fat of the Land was when Firestarter debuted in 2097, I'd say it'll be a new track making an appearance in Omega.
However, I wouldn't complain if this made an appearance.
Ooh, share! I'm going to start work on one too, I kind of miss UK big beat.

Now Shaneus, I need you to listen to me very carefully. I need you to recount, in specific and clear detail, just how the hell you managed to get WipEout 3 SE on your Vita.

So, it should have all the tracks of HD, Fury, and 2048. Good to know.
It's also good to hear a confirmation for all three career modes being there, since that wasn't clarified before, IIRC.
EDIT:
Digital art book is included in the EU PSN store.

Anyone who thinks this would have issues in follow-cam is mistaken. I've played F-Zero GX via Dolphin streamed to my GearVR and I was fine. Will some people get sick? Of course, but those same people likely can't handle Driveclub VR, regardless if its a regular car or super-fast hyper car. PSVR also has recently improved its tracking significantly, but you don't need to track detailed movement (leaning) for this game. You can defer to only using the HMD tracking for direction of camera and keep it locked behind the hovercraft. Some basic VR smoothing and Q&A to avoid glitching the camera through areas and you're good too go (not free, but not super hard to implement - I talk from experience here).
I've also played WipeOut PS2 in first-person mode with the camera locked to Oculus and it was perfectly fine. Couldn't control it all that well, but soon as I went back to follow mode it was awesome. The thought of ZONE MODE in VR is too much. It must become reality!

£30 and physical? Definitely going to get this then. Finally 2048 with 60fps. Wouldn't mind replaying HD and Fury again. At least this time I can pay for it.
Best thing to come from the horrendous PSN blackout
Check here. Just hope that your Vita hasn't been updated for a while, it won't run on anything newer than 3.60. After that, installed Retroarch and was good to go
I have 2097 on there, too! Basically all Wipeout and Lumines titles available on PSP, PS1 and Vita
YESSSSSSS
That's all I wanted to see 2048 in HD & 60 FPS
Btw is this true? Haven't found any source for this, but if there is a steelbook, oh god... take all my money

The only downside is that now we have to bring forward the deadline for the GAF Custom Soundtrack but oh well, there's still plenty of time anyway

I want to be excited about this but this is like... the 4th time I'll be buying this content?
Pure/Pulse
HD Fury
2048 DLC
And now this.
I mean, I'll definitely get it down the line because WipEout is WipEout and it's one of my favourite series ever, but I hope this leads to something new.
Weirdly enough I've been playing 2048 again lately trying to get the online campaign finished. Nearly there...

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

yep, it's true – https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/games/wipeout-omega-collection-ps4/
edit: those static themes look amazing
edit2: about digital artbook, pre-order bonuses, etc.

This is the game that is finally going to push me to buy a 4k TV, maybe even an oled :-O

Hmm, the U.S. version of that page doesn't have that section about pre-ordering. Strange that the UK page makes it sound like the ship is a PSN exclusive.
Also, I've never heard of these studios. Are they Sony-owned?

pre-ordered...
Sorry! I posted a few times about that in the original announcement thread but yeah, I should have PM'd you to make sure you didn't miss it. Really glad you're in this time too =)

If it gets a steelbook case that is true to its stylistic roots - i.e. inspired by the golden age of TDR design - ugh, man. I better not even think about it.
Driveclub's steelbook has all others beaten so far. This one, this one can take it.

Shit, I want all the themes, both static and dynamic. I suppose there's no way to get both without preordering both physical and digital :/
It would have to be true to it's roots. If not, then it won't come close to the DC steelbook (still have mine sealed).

They might sell it seperately later on the PSN store who knows

HD was $20, and Fury was $10. 12 tracks plus 4 zone-only tracks plus reverse variants for half the price of a full retail game isn't too bad.
I'd really like Omega Collection to get an expansion of its own with some new content (whether it's more remastered tracks from the PSP games or brand-new content) but I can't see it happening with the original developer being defunct.
Also definitely going physical, sucks missing out on the bonus ship but I refuse to buy digital on console if physical is an option. Hope Best Buy has active before my $5 cert expires.
Yeah I was being a bit grumpy this morning, I think Sony will deliver, I just hope the original tracks are all still there too, that would be great
Yeah...It may be time. But I don't even want it... but wipeout ps4...

Team Assegai! I got the WipEout Disciple trophy (100,000 loyalty poins) with that one. Harimau would be my second favorite.
