For those who did not preorder, is there any difference in what is included in the digital version versus the physical version?
Thanks for the reply @NotEnoughRed!
Argh! Sad news. But the good thing is I will just have to put songs in a USB folder and keep them playing rather than editing them to make them fit at the race start like i used to do on PS3.
Perfect balance is indeed a very tough thing to do in gaming. These small buffs are good news though!
What are the chances of the re-jiggery of the other ships' stats being released? ;)
i pre ordered and didnt even get the themes :(
so no, got no extras with physical :(

love seeing that as number one :D
I'm actually getting really annoyed/angry with IGN for not reviewing the game... :brickwall
Generally glowing reviews everywhere else, though! :D
There may be a lot of people annoyed next week if Sony's Days Of Play sale reduces the price. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/...uns-june-9-16/
Absolutely loving it. The way it's all integrated into HD's menu is perfect. Slick, polished, fast. Great load times. 2048 looks great and plays well on the ps4 pad.
Nailed it, guys. Nailed it.
Love, one happy WipEout fan.
How's the performance on the PS4 Slim? I'm considering getting one.
solid, from what i have seen. The game plays well and looks real sharp. Like, it really does look a lot sharper than ps3, more noticeable than i thought it would.
Online worked fine, not tried split screen yet.
I'm on the ps4 slim.
Just tried it. This game is aaaawesome!!! Been looking for something like that for ages! So happy! :)
Blergh no WipEout for me until Friday. :(
Courier companies (at least Spanish ones) have the most backwards modus operandi imaginable. It literally belongs to last century even though nowadays with web shopping we receive ten (a hundred?) times as many parcels as we used to do.
All day at home (I usually telecommute on Wednesdays) and I just leave to have lunch with my family for my father's birthday.
Obviously, when I get home a notification of attempted delivery is in the mailbox (it wasn't there when I left, I checked).
No estimated delivery time was on the tracker, no attempt to contact me slightly before or during delivery attempt. Even putting the game in the mailbox (it fits no problem) would have sufficed. Their nearest office is 100 km away so no chance for picking it up myself.
Since I'm out all day tomorrow, no other choice than to arrange delivery for Friday and miss the launch day hype. /facepalms
Just been playing for a couple of hours and wanted to say congratulations for a job well done to all the guys at Clever Beans, Epos and ExDev
At first, it was quite an odd feeling, playing a game that I designed but didnt develop - if that makes sense. But oddness soon gave way to joy, you guys have done a truly fantastic job.
It looks beautiful, and it feels wonderful, there are pretenders to the crown but nothing quite comes close to WipEout (I'm bias, but I dont care).
I hope all involved are having a well earned drink tonight.
So I've been playing the game for a solid 5 hours straight and I am deeply in love with it, its absolutely perfect. 2048 zone plays so well I got 119 zones using the FEISAR speed on empire climb (currently 9th overall, could've done better as well). I just can't stop loving the motion blur, sound design and.....well.......everything about the game ^_^
I feel really bad going online and kinda just trouncing the new pilots, but we got to show them who are the veterans around these parts :D
Too all of the developers at Clever Beans, EPOS and XDev, thank you so much. This has already become my favourite game of all time and I will have a very hard time to turn the PS4 off every time I boot it up. I'm gonna have some heated debates with my Dad over the PS4, but by far the best £30 I've ever spent on a game!
Does that mean that Fury/Zone variants of Tigron and Van Uber are planned??
I'd been about to bring that up. I'm bummed that Van Uber and Tigron are HD only and don't show up in the Fury grid. Can't be used in Zone/Zone Battle either. :'(
I had a bit of a private MP bash-about with a friend last night. I don't know what's been changed but the netcode in this feels a lot more overall solid; this is the same guy whose craft would consistently drive against the barriers on HD/Fury due to the lag, but playing with him last night his ship was actually driving where it was supposed to be!
I'm not surprised to find bugs/glitches in this, but this is still A+ top work. I played the HELL out of 2048 last night; my first time ever playing it. Having tons of fun. :D At some point I'll try online ... I'll get my butt kicked though ... lol.
Having put a few hours into the game, I have to say that this is a simply terrific remaster. Applying a modern polish is hit or miss on execution, at least in this hobby, but I am quite impressed. There are so many thoughtful touches, and the game is running brilliantly. Well done, guys.
I'm spreading the word on this game as much as I can. I think that having a solid game that can easily compete with its younger contemporaries, coupled with the nostalgia factor that Sony is obviously driving home, this is as good a shot at increasing interest in the series as there can be. The market is definitely warm to the appreciation of older IPs, and this is an A+ attempt to cash in on that trend. Regardless of how it turns out, though, a great game is a great game. XDEV, Clever Beans, you've outdone yourselves.
I played almost all of the day. It's kinda nothing new, but regardless an amazing game! Reviews look all so well, new people join, old ones return and we just have fun that there is at least a minor lifesign from our franchise.
Also had some laps with Snake today, jeez he's fast, or I am slow xD
If Sony were to make such a big move, it would almost be more of a message/statement/agenda to get PS4 titles to benefit from it. Clever Beans would just have to reintroduce that function from HD/Fury with a patch.
But there’s not a chance this will happen, so even just considering it is false hope.
So does this game have the option to resume long music files from where they stopped on the previous race? PS3 version had this, it's great for listening to long DJ mixes alongside gameplay.
Can't test this myself as I don't have a PS4, but I'll be picking one up soon to play this.
@Pico de Goroh, no, this option was removed.
But you know, the music flow feels a little bit different here, it's hard to explain, it's like it never stops (there is a crossfade between the tracks), even during loading screen, so you don't think about resuming anything (although I used this option on PS3 cause races felt fast and short and tracks were too long to enjoy them in their entirety). Maybe because the music tracks are shorter this time, IDK.
I was mainly talking about music off USB (or hard drive when I played on PS3). I would listen to 3+ hour long DJ mixes in the game, so this feature was super useful for those.
Chris, any chance we'll see this added back to Omega? Given the deep roots this game has with DJ culture, I feel this should definitely be included.
When you play your music from USB or Spotify on PS4 it won't be influenced by WipEout at all, cause there are no custom soundtracks this time around. So your music will keep playing in the background disregarding of what's happening in the game.
Yep, I really need to echo the sentiments here. Being able to play 2048 on the big screen is one thing, but having it look so damn good in the process is another thing altogether. You've all done an amazing job and should be really proud of yourselves :)
I've just had a full day of playing the game splitscreen with a friend and man, playing splitscreen at 60fps is really quite the thing. We were comparing 2048 to the original on the Vita as well and the amount of color that has been jam packed into it is incredible, really outstanding work! On the visual end too I love the updated WOHD track textures, the use of parallax mapping is insane, the fury track surfaces legit look completely 3D!
Congrats to everyone involved with the remaster, astounding work, spent about 12 hours yesterday playing after taking the day off for it!
So good, 2048 is a revelation on the big screen and HD was amazing as well.
So happy with it.
Oh boy i should be able to get the game tomorrow, i can't wait.
The Van-Uber ship is available only for people who pre-ordered online? Or it is a redeemable code inside each physical copy as well?
Both, pre-order is only for Europe, and the code is only for US.
Hi everyone, i made a bit of a series of videos going through the entire series (yes, even wipeout 2D) leading up to the release of Omega Collection, check it out if you're feeling nostalgic. I'm not a pro, at racing or making videos, but i love these games and wanted to give it a go, so give them a look if you like. (The last video is me just gushing over this release! haha!)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsK...v5dZcRg/videos
also, if anyone wants the 4 static theme's here is a spare code: DD5T-EHNH-TQ82
whoever is the fastest, well done! :)
Oh wow, thanks for the themes!!! They look awesome. Will check out your vids when i get home. :D
Also yup, amazing job on the game. Played all day yesterday with a huge smile on my face :)
Thoroughly enjoying playing Omega Collection so far. As someone who only spent a few hours HD & Fury and never played 2048 at all, it's like having three new games. Blown away by the visuals and I like most of the soundtrack too, although it's not in the same league as Pulse's track list for me. The whole game so far is excellent, and I haven't even tried online yet!
Just a small point, though: either I'm missing something obvious, or I haven't received the four static themes. I assumed there would be a code in the box, but no joy. I did consider installing the physical release on my PS4 just to see if that activated the themes, but it would have removed the download version (and thus the Van-Uber ship) so that ain't happening.
