On Amazon, yeah. I'd check elsewhere if you wanna find it for a little cheaper. That's certainly what I'll be doing ie: going to Game in the UK as I mentioned above. :)

If it has multiplayer then this might just be the reason that I get a ps4!
obviously has it...but you have to pay ps plus, aka 50 € 1 year multiplayer

I always got the impression that GAME is an absolute rip off and that amazon/tesco prices are substantially better. I haven't bought games in a while now though so I could very well be wrongQuote:

Price doesn't really bother me as sacrifices must be made for WipEout! XD
As Conzio said, EB games here in OZ has it tentatively priced at $99.95 ,which is around $20 more than a new major release like say Uncharted 4.
Sony are renown price gougers at the best of times, I've had many a heated argument at the Playstation Forums about game prices at the PStore V's Physical copies at a games store, with the results usually ending with a mod chipping in that 'It's the distributors that set the price", and me pointing out many a time, Sony has been the distributor of a game suffering a particularly bad case of price gouging.
Honestly, I'm in no hurry to get the omega pack, I'm quite happy to wait till the price drops, besides people are having problems getting 4K games to play on their TV's, as there is some sort of 4K flagging recognition issue [HDMI related] with both the PS4pro, XboneS, and several supposedly 4K disc spinners, so for all intended purposes, and for the vast majority, the Omega pack will only get played back in 1080p max.
I guess it varies, I haven't really seen much of a difference between buying from GAME and buying from Amazon once P&P is factored in (unless you don't mind waiting two weeks for Royal Mail to possibly lose it in transit and all that ¬_¬; )Quote:

And lucky for me I already pay for PS+, what with playing a lot of Destiny, the Division, etc, etc. :V
Tesco are an absolute ripoff when it comes to buying games, I've seen them charging £39.99 for Mario Kart 7 despite that game being 5yrs old. I use GAME because I seem to be one of the few people who never got screwed by them and generally have a good experience with them.
Also like Kazzy said; P&P generally makes the game price to the same level as GAME's prices so I see know point in using Amazon, especially since delivery times vary wildly with Royal Mail.
Here's to hoping for a MENA release.
Hi, everyone!
Got my preorder in for the physical disc as I'm pretty stoked to finally have the opportunity to play 2048 on a screen I don't have to squint at. Sincerely hoping that integrated custom music is an option - the USB music player just doesn't cut it in Zone mode for me and IMO it would be a backward step from HD Fury if we can't implement it in the same way (my custom playlist is basically the entire series discography ;)). Still, it's not a deal breaker as the 2048 half (yes, I said, 'half') is the big selling point for me.
Sony confirms the release date shown on their website is an error. A release date is yet to be announced.

So we’re now back to "Summer 2017".

ooooooooohhhh this is nice. Too bad i don't have ps4... not sure i'll buy one for this remix
I can't decide between a PS4 for wipeout Omega and a gaming PC for Formula Fusion :( Honestly i'm more interested in Formula Fusion, because i'm curious to see the new work from those guys...but a gaming pc is too expensive, even if online play will be free!
formula fusion can use ps4 and also xbox1 too!
stevie 😀
I think that will be a way off before Formula Fusion appears on consoles, they need to get a publisher first to do that.
Current role out plan is PC - Steam only at first.
I honestly don't know how FF would fair if released on the PS4 at the same time as the Omega Pack, since Wipeout has pretty much only been a Playstation title, I imagine sales would be relatively good, and die hard AG racers are going to want to play 2048 competitively, which means putting in long hours playing it [assuming they change the way 2048's online play works so it's the same as HD/FURY - if not, maybe people will drop it fast]
If that's the case, I can't imagine people putting in the required amount of hours into FF at the same time, it will be the case of one game or the other, and since most Wipeout players already know each other and have a lot of other Wipeout players on their friends lists, I could see the Omega pack winning out, and FF gathering dust, if many sales at all.....this is just if scenario were to play out, and only related to the PS4....they would probably end up selling better on the Xbone, if only for the lack of a competitor in a AG racer on that platform.
R8 are better severed to wait till the novelty of the Omega pack dies down, then release FF on the PS4.
Formula Fusion is far too different to Wipeout in what R8 have planned for it, they want it to be far more about online play in teams and other various play modes, where Wipeout HD/FURY and hopefully if Racebox is added to 2048, the main emphasis has historically been the challenge playing solo of getting great leader board times doing TT or SL.......Not that FF doesn't have that, but that's not what it's main design brief is.
Well, that sucks - might even have to wait until August or beyond :(
I really want to try out FF (and GRiP, for that matter), but there's a problem - I'm a bit wary of Early Access and the general consensus on Steam is that it's a bit strapped for content right now. I'd rather drop the £15 when it's complete than risk the possibility of the novelty wearing off long before then.
Also, I'm kind of hoping that Omega is a proper amalgamation of the two games. Racebox is a glaring omission from 2048, especially on a handheld system and I certainly don't know all the campaign nodes off by heart. Just let me pick a track and a ship and job's a good'un. I don't want to have to fumble through a load of hexagons just to find the Zone circuit I want (quite like Zone :)).
Finally, this is probably pie-in-the-sky stuff, but down the line I'd love to see some form of retro-flavoured DLC (tracks, ships, music packs, etc) kind of like what we saw with Pure, but I'm not holding my breath.
Well Formula Fusion has 7 tracks finished, or at least very close to being finished, and each of those tracks can be played in reverse, and the option to play the day time or nigh time version of each of those tracks, so initial content should be enough for most people, plus there are going to be 5 speed classes, of which we have only tested 3 to date.
We on the test pilot program had a build back in Nov last year that had around a dozen new tracks in bare bones form to test and give our opinions on, at least two of those tracks I have seen in a recent video, have made it to full rendering stage.
Actually I'm expecting some form of new test build to appear shortly, as it's been nearly 3 months since the last one...... hopefully the weapon systems would have had a lot of work done on them, as they sorely need it, as they are pretty much ineffectual in the last build.
Some of the FF tracks are quite a bit longer than your usual Wipeout tracks, think similar to the length of the 3rd version of the tracks in Wipeout Fusion, I reported at the FF forum that I thought these tracks were a bit boring, and got a response that R8 intend these long tracks to be sort of learners tracks, and/or, used as testing tracks for craft upgrades, which can speed up a standard craft to incredible speeds [way faster than super phantom ].
I've hardly touch FF since December, as I've found I've lost interest in gaming generally over the last few months, hopefully the next update might shake me out of it.
And to be honest, being part of the testing process has taken the edge off the game for me, it's been like playing with a broken toy that's constantly being fixed by your parents, so if your anything like me, I'd wait for the full release rather that early access, rather than risk dampening your enjoyment on what should eventually turn out to be a fine game, by playing it before it's finished.
As for the Omega pack, well I can't stand playing Wipeout on a handheld, it drives me to distraction.
I've got Pure & Pulse plus all the DLC on both a PSPGO! using video out to a TV, using a PS3 controller, then more recently got a Vita TV unit with the same games, plus 2048 [via a hack] running the same way, but using a PS4 controller.
The only problem with 2048 played that way is getting through the menus, as 2048 used all the VITA controls for menu navigation, including the rear one, which isn't duplicated on the PS4 controller, so it will be nice to not have to deal with that any more one the Omega pack is released.
It looks ok for a handheld game, even if blown up to a ridiculous 2.2m across as I did via my projector......should look a damm sight better via a PS4 though
Attachment 10632
I have never seen such a great 2048:eek :)
unfortunately I do not have a PC to try FF and was hoping to find it on PS4, to give meaning to the purchase of Ps4 Omega is a sop. FF should definitely make the choice that pays off his work.
@blackwiggle: Now THAT is a setup! :D
Funnily enough, I managed to get the PSTV whitelist patch up and running just on Saturday there. Granted, the touchpad emulation is a bit of a faff as you say, but I haven't had so much fun with my Vita games since I bought them ages ago. 2048 has barely been off my TV since then. It does have a habit of crashing every so often, particularly on race restarts, but it's a small price to pay to conserve my already naff eyesight :P
With the current trend, purchase wise being towards higher resolution [4k], bargains can be found on Ebay regarding getting a gaming projection system up and running, as those with a penchant for home Theater, tend to be early adoptees, and upgrade their projectors relatively early, so a lot of suitable PJ's are coming on the market as their owners upgrade to 4k, you just need to know which projectors are the ones to get.
To be honest any PJ made for HT duties made from around 2007 onwards will make a good gaming PJ, it's the latency that can be a issue, and usually this only is a problem with the high end PJ's, as these were designed to just play movies basically, so input lag was not a priority in their design brief, as it's not needed when used purely for movies .....you can tweak some PJ's to respond better, but that involves getting into the service menu, and that's getting a bit beyond the scope of this post.
Also, the different between 1080i /1080p and 4k isn't huge, resolution wise, actually most people would be hard pressed to notice the differences unless they were pointed out to them, and a lot depends on viewing distance from the screen if it is noticeable at all.
Where 4k wins is with the expanded colour gamut, it makes gradients much smoother, where large expanses of graduated colours can look pixilated on the lower resolution screens.......I'm still not convinced I need to upgrade to 4k just yet, as unlike most people, I also have my own video calibration gear [I've been a HiFi nut since the mid 70's- and became a videophile over the last 20 years], so my aging Sony PJ is still looking better than most peoples new 4K PJ's, well at least in colour accuracy.
Look on Ebay for Sony PJ's VPL HS51a as they were called in the USA, or VPL HS60 as they were called here in OZ, and I think in the UK, they are 1080i units [Playstations auto detect & output to the display resolution-so no stuffing about needed changing settings], you should be able to pick one up for around Aus$ 350 -£220 [A LOT cheaper than when I bought my unit new for Aus $3500 ]...I see replacement lamps are around £80-90.....that will give you around 3000 hours of game play.....great gaming PJ's....try playing Wipeout HD/Fury/2048 in 1st person cockpit view on one of these.
My original HS60 died on me just as I replaced the lamp...... I left it for a while, thinking it would cost me a arm and a leg to get Sony to repair it, and I might be better served saving the money towards a new 4K PJ.......but curiosity go the better of me, and one day a few months ago I found another used unit on Ebay, complete with spare Lamp [that in itself is over Aus$500 here] It didn't sell at first, then it got re posted, so I cheekily sent the seller a message saying I'd pay the buy it now price of Aus$350 if they dropped the postage costs, they said yes....turned out that it had come straight from a Sony service centre here in OZ and had been recently reconditioned by them, but the owner never turned up to pay for it......you never now your luck until you test it.:lol
Here's a random thought, will we get a new set of trophies to unlock or will they just reuse the old ones??
I know not everybody who plays HD or 2048 are fussed about them but they do make for some interesting challenges.
As a admitted Trophy hunter , although not as bad as some.
I hope both the Omega pack, and Formula Fusion have 'Realistically Achievable' Trophies.
I'm sort of dreading having to sort out online meetings again to Re-Achieve "Bling Brigade"....I think I wouldn't be the only person dreading this one.:brickwall
The differences between a 2009 PS3 user interface, and a 2017 PS4 user interface, 'Should' make getting this trophy again a lot easier.....emphasis on the 'Should'...doesn't mean it will be.
EDIT: Actually, with the latest PS4 system update, there is a OMEGA PACK user/fan group? one can join....Also some sort of petition towards Sony to get a NEW Wipeout game made.
Totally remiss of me to have not posted about this anywhere at the forum.
I'll do so eventually when I know 'Exactly' what is going on with this situation.....easy for current PS4 owners to checkout themselves....it's staring you in the face. :eek
I remember reading somewhere that SL were indeed working on a new game for the PS4 and that progress was already around a year or so deep when they were shuttered. I would hope that the release of Omega is perhaps Sony "testing the water", so to speak, and that we might see an all new game in the future if Omega does well. It may also be a response to all of the "spiritual successors" showing up on places like Steam and the like, such as FF, Redout (not a bad effort in itself), hell, even the FAST games fall into that equation. There is clearly still a market for these types of games and IMO it makes total sense for Sony to show up and say, "hey, remember us?"
As an aside, in the event of Omega's success, I wonder if we'll be seeing an F-Zero Switch further down the line ...
I think it was pretty much confirmed by the studio doing the Omega pack, that the 'Full Console' game SL were working on was actually a version of 2048, as it's this code they are using as a basis.
Now if SL were going to include 'Racebox' in the full console version, I guess we shall never know, but surely after all these years since it's release, and the huge outpouring of disappointment at various gaming forum at the time about how dumb a idea it was to not include it, one would hope that the remastering will sort this out.
I remember at the time that Colin Berry had posted here that Sony had told SL that there was to be no more Wipeouts for the foreseeable future, as it felt that 'Racing Games' were not selling, and it was only because of the release of the VITA, that SL got a hurried brief to build a Wipeout game for it's launch, I think that need for speed to build 2048 might be the main reason 'Racebox' was left out.
OMG :D:D:D:D:D i hope they add racebox to 2048!
Racebox would be nice. Considering it's being packaged with the HD remake it'd be a bit silly to not throw the 2048 stuff into that menu.
On the subject of trophies; don't be surprised if they just throw all of the HD/Fury and 2048 trophies in together ... though that would probably be too many for the game. So what do people think the most likely way of dealing with trophies is? Just sticking all the existing HD/Fury and 2048 trophies in without changing any, cherry-picking the best/most relevant trophies from the two games, or do you think they'll actually go ahead and design completely new trophies to provide the veterans with something new?
... I'm unfortunately of the boat that they'll probably just copy/paste most of the existing trophies, really. :/ But it's a genuine thing to think about. :)
Still lukewarm to WO Omega.
Just imagine if they had announed a whole new WipEout, with new graphics, new ships, new tracks, new modes... WipEout 2099, or whatever it would be called, would have our hearts going so ****ing fast.
rise of the tomb raider on ps4 had 125 trophies at release, but they had to add like 50 of them to act as dlc trophies due to trophy limits by sonyQuote:

That's why I think it's important that the Omega Collection should have a decently sized player base for Sony to see that a new title has potential. Clever Beans have said this too, and they would likely be the ones behind a new one if the Omega Collection is successful.Quote:

I've made a little video for those outside of this forum about what we have discussed here.
Hopefully more people will see it and get on the Omega Collection band-wagon.

Good job. You’re right, we need to talk about this game.
The problem with Sony and Clever Beans is that they’re pinning the hopes of a future WO game on the success of something that’s not even a re-hash. It’s just a re-edition.
"We’re going to give you nothing new and if you buy it, then we’ll make something really new."
Great.
Make some sick zone gifs and share it on reddit/fb/twitter etc ;)Quote:
