Spotify dedicated playlist ready from months.

Just release the damn game.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Pre-order ready!

Figured I'd get in on the spend £50 get £10 back offer.

Wipeout is releasing on June 6th? Then I will also be releasing on June 6th.

Was that meant to sound dirty? Haha.

Also I only have one trophy left to get on WipEout HD (Fuck you Zico), and it looks like I won't ever go back to get it at this rate. I did try for one afternoon a few years ago to get it, but it's just a little bit beyond my abilities Am I right in thinking that SL patched the game and inadvertently made Beat Zico a bit harder to achieve? Is it even possible now? haha

That trophy took me 5 years to get (on and off other games). My tip is that optimal racing line is important. Also, watch YouTube for those points to spin boost.

Looking forward to challenging this trophy again.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

OMEGA Collection? I love it!

And 60 fps too? *drools*

 

[J-Skee]

It doesn't implement custom soundtracks into the race tracks like the PS3 used to do, does it?

You have to barrel roll in certain spots to get the boost needed to get the time. Problem is that the game has spotty input detection for the barrel roll, I really didn't mind the trophy itself but actually getting the barrel roll to come out was the most frustrating thing out if that trophy list. Beating the game on Elite against unfair cheating AI had an exploit, zone Zeus was easy and fun, but suddenly barrel rolls to beat zico didn't work and a year of my life was shaven off.

Can't you already playing your music in every game on PS4?

In any case, obviously physical day one for me. 2048 at 1080p/60 fps? Can't wait for it.

 

[JamboGT]

Can! Not! Wait!

Double dipping in this one for sure.

 

[ty_hot]

40 is way too much, wasnt the PS3 wipeout only 20?

this one is a optimization of the optimization (yes, more content, but still another optimization)...

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Looks perfect, can't wait. My only wipeout experience was on Vita so 60fps will be so good

 

[NewDust]

Can't you already playing your music in every game on PS4?

Yes, but just as an overlay... PS3 used to incorporate the audio design even for the custom soundtrack, with dynamic equalizing on your on track actions. Taking your ship in the air and returning back on track resulted in thinning out the audio and then a literal drop in the music.

Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty desperate to get that last trophy.

Yeah I always felt that barrel rolls were a bit of a pain in the ass to pull off sometimes. Didn't have any problems Elite AI surprisingly; it was one of the things where you give it a go and get your ass handed to you, then later on try it on a whim once you're more familiar with the game and you're able to begin crush the challenges. A number of races did require a half dozen retries, but I revelled in that challenge. Beat Zico? Now that's just given me the shits for almost a decade lmao. Willing to give it another go on PS3 once I get my mojo back on Omega Collection though.

To be fair, it has a new soundtrack, and is a complete remaster of 2 games and 1 big content pack. It's clearly an expression of interest by Sony to see if there's still interest in the series or not. So regardless I'd buy it, but I'm very happy with the price personally.

Oh man I almost forgot about this! Audio equalizing based on the in-game environment, even on your own custom soundtrack, was INCREDIBLE! Would be so cool if they could figure out a way to do that in this remaster, though I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Miniature Kaiju]

It would be awesome if this game just became a platform. For example, they could put out an expansion pack that is just all the tracks from the PSP games and they could put out dlc that is just the soundtracks from those games. Then if Wipeout Fusion ever comes to PS4 owning that game would unlock a Wipeout Fusion track pack in this collection. Basically, I would love this to just become EVERY Wipeout game.

WipEout would be a good foundation to go the DC route, in my opinion. A base game with yearly seasons, each season adding a bunch of stuff, tracks, ships, skins, soundtracks, modes. weapons etc.

It was the absolute best. If they at least allow that with the USB MP3 feature, I'll be all over it.

That would be the awesome. Hopefully the game sells well enough.

June is like the 90's all over again, Wipeout, Crash, Tekken.

Can't wait!

 

[Chronology]

HD came out at $20 bucks, but this also has the Fury expansion, which is almost the size of a full game and retailed for (I believe) $20, and 2048, which actually is a full game that retailed for $40. It's pretty good value imo

DC would be a good game to go the original outlined DC route and offer the game as a service, however it would seem that Sony have dropped DC to the side never to be heard from again. Shame as one of the best racers this generation and I'm still having loads of fun with DCVR

I don't disagree, my friend, I don't disagree at all :/

 

[JamboGT]

Have to say the trailer would be more impressive if they showed a hot lap from someone quick in phantom class, all looked a little slow!

 

[Community Forum]

So happy this is getting a physical release. Had it in my head that it would be digital only.

Yeah they usually don't advertise the speed aspect of WipEout as much as you'd expect. It's toned down for the broader appeal I guess.

Yeah I'm stoked about the possibility of a steelbook too.

Best Buy site still won't let orders in for the U.S. Lol. Man, that itchy trigger finger.

THX GOD

It's a dream come true.

 

[NotSmartEnough]

You should get a notification for it, I found mine there.

I tried to preorder yesterday but got an error. Today I got a purchase confirmation email and it shows as preordered in the store.

I've got no email or PSN notification about the theme. Did people get a notification with a code to redeem or what?

 

[Lettuce]

Please let there be DLC, tracks from Wipeout 1,2,3 and Fusion would be great!!

 

[Son.Ralph.Funk]

Haha no.

Based on the video, Fast RMX does look better. Wuite a bit actually.

Just look inside your themes settings. It should be in there to download.

I really want Loops of Fury. Does PS4 have a means of custom soundtracks that isn't Spotify?

 

[Reckless Abandon]

This is going to be my first WipeOut game. I'm excited.

Me, too. I've never owned a PS but have played WipeOut (and similar games like F Zero and Extreme G) and can't wait to get back into this style of racing game. I'll be getting it for sure.

I'd like to know this as well. I want to have the entire Wipeout XL OST in the game somehow if possible.

Old video but I guess there is this. I assume it still works, I've never tried it though.

Yep, a shame. Wish more could do it. They could have pumped out stuff for years with DC I felt.

 

[Crayon]

I think I'm in for this. Im going to need a bigger HDD for this ps4.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Awesome! Never played this series before. Can't wait!

 

[SolidusDave]

As someone who bought HD and Fury each at release (for 20 and 10?) and who doesn't feel Omega has a lot of new content or graphical upgrades (HDR though!), this feels kinda pricey.

At least give it PS+ preorder discount like a lot of other games have currently.


But I realize this is the only way I get to play Wipeout on PS4 so I'll shut up and buy it...

 

[eyeball_kid]

1997 is shaping up to be a great year!

I do wish XL was included in some form though. It's hard to call this an "Omega" Collection without it.

IMO HD and Fury are just icing on the cake that is a 2048 remaster. Will be great having that on a home console in HD and 60 FPS, instead of the tiny Vita screen and 30 FPS.

Is it weird that I feel I'm getting more just because I have a 4k tv? It's literally the same. But 4k60HDR. It's going to be beautiful as I bounce off the walls.

It is a bit annoying there's no pre-order discount, but I assume Sony's using this to gauge interest and see if there's still a market for WipEout at that price point. I'm going to do my part not to disappoint them.

My problems are multiples :

I have HUNDRED of hours logged into HD, Fury and 2048.

So I don't feel like I really need HD and Fury again. 2048 remaster is THE added value and worth the look.

Then : I want the physical edition because of course I want a WipEout box (I missed the HD Fury EU physical release and second hand is too pricey now) but it's a game, like Rez, that is more convenient to have on the HDD to boot whenever.

So, just like Rez Infinite, I think I'll buy day one the physical release and down the line the digital licence when in sale.

 

[Rezbit]

Damn, so tempted to dip again.
