Just bought it. Where's that theme? PS4 menu system is not as good as the PS3 XMB was, honestly.
Digital or Physical, Digital or Physical! Oh, dilemma!
PSN offers dynamic theme which looks awesome (save music, which is a little bit too much for a background music), a bonus ship (wonder what's that) and AND a digital art book!
Digital Art Book, guys! Something that WipEout's been missing all this time has a digital release now. And what if a hardcopy is on the way?! What a joy!
"Each game has its own career mode, plus there’s a racebox mode which lets you tweak and customise your own races..."
YELL HES!
According to description of PS store... theres 26 reversiable tracks
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-...PEOUTPREORDPSN
According to Amazon US's description there will be a bonus ship and its van-uber from fusion/pure
"Gravity ends as the race begins! The Futuristic anti-gravity combat racer returns! Rip through the air at breakneck speeds in adrenalin fueled races that are won or lost in the blink of an eye. Wipeout Omega Collection includes: Remastered Game; NEW Van Uber racing ship; 4 PS4 Avatars (Feisar, Quirex, Auricom, AG-Sys)."
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XY6L858...=wipeout+omega
by 26 reversiable tracks i hope this will be zone tracks too... corridon 12... in reverse... 100+?! :dizzy
maybe we can finally play races on the zone tracks too? ;)
edit: according to EU ps blog there will be a online time trial mode "Play with your friends, either with split screen local multiplayer, or race online* for up to eight Anti Gravity Racing league pilots. Race in tournaments, single races, time trial or in the famous zone mode."
or is it a mistake and its supposed to be elimination? hd/2048 never had a time trial online
EDIT2: Online racebox confirmed for 2048... BYE BYE COMBAT :D::D:D:D:D:

EDIT3: Steelbook release confirmed
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/ga...ollection-ps4/
Finally!
Some more NEWS! :D :D
And a Van-Uber!
Look, I don't know what to say about this release.
I just watched the latest videos of the gameplay, and it looks like 2048 still has massive screen tearing problems [or it's screen drawing problem] anyway, the track coming towards you looks like you are traveling through a heat haze, the track in front of you looks hazy and out of focus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C65gPYUVgC0
It got away with it when played on the VITA as the screen was so small it wasn't that noticeable, but I can tell yo, it is very noticeable when played on a big screen.
It doesn't happen all the way through the game, it's just when things get hectic, and you are traveling at Max or close to Max speed, I thought this originally might of been caused by the limited processing power of the VITA engine, but looking at the video above I seen that isn't true, it's actually coded that way.....Go Figure.
Never pre-ordered a game in my life.
Wipeout Omega comes out on my birthday.
Just take my money 8)
Loving the old school split screen. It's just not a thing any more. If it's online too that would be class.
That is THE feature we all wanted!Quote:

June is much earlier than I was expecting which is fantastic. I was predicting some sort of release date announcement around E3, not the actual game!
Not long now then guys and gals. :)
"By buying the digital pre-order edition version of WipEout Omega Collection, you’ll also get exclusive avatars, a Van Uber ship and a digital artbook."
What a shame this doesn't mean what, for a moment, I thought it did :D
My shopping list:
Digital download (already paid)
Steelbook edition
Standard PAL release
Standard US release
Standard JP release
Gotta catch em all!
Edit:
A Van-Uber ship! That's interesting. I wonder if they made an HD-version of it themselves or if it was found in SL:s old archives? We'll never know, but we'll take good care of it. :beer
A VAN-ÜBER!?
BOI I'LL GET A PS4.
This is really making me considering to change my plans...
Van-uber returning?!?!
Well looks like the wipeout lore after pure is now gonna be in need of a small rewrite if this becomes canon :P
It's likely just a poorly written description.
They'd make a little bit more of a fuss about pre-ordering the game if you got extra content. The email confirming it's now available mentions nothing of it.
Don't get your hopes up now.
No no. It's real.
https://twitter.com/SonyXDevEurope/s...48689460248577
In that case then, boys and girls, now you can get excited!!!! :P:+
CONFIRMED that custom soundtracks ingame is not supported
Important questions:
1) Is the custom soundtrack feature from HD still in?
2) Is the Racebox also available for 2048?

Hi Shiff
1: Unfortunately not, but you can play your own music via Spotify or your HD. We think you will love our new soundtrack though, it’s proper awesome!
2: Yes yes and ….yes!
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...he-soundtrack/
EDIT: i asked this
Hi mack and o connor. just two questions. in the blog it states that you can play time trial online
“Play with your friends, either with split screen local multiplayer, or race online* for up to eight Anti Gravity Racing league pilots. Race in tournaments, single races, time trial or in the famous zone mode.”
Is this a error and its meant to be elimination? time trial online was never in HD/2048. Or is it a New game mode? A confirmation please
In the description in store it states you can play forward and reverse on 26 tracks… does this mean you can play reverse on 2048 tracks and the Zone exclusive tracks in HD? (Pro tozo, mallavol, corridon 12, syncopia) And can you play those zone tracks on other game modes now? (time trial, speed lap, single races etc)
i got this as a reply:
I think what it means is that your TT are posted online.
Online game modes are: Single Race, Eliminat0r, Zone Battle, Tournament for HD/Fury and Single Race, Combat and Tournament for 2048
In terms of tracks there are 10 2048 tracks, 12 tracks in HD/Fury and 4 Zone tracks
The 12 tracks in HD fury can be reversed.
All HD/Fury/2048 tracks can be played in zone mode
The Fury background is not in the Omega Collection
so thats really disappoining... the mindblowing fury background is not in omega and 2048 tracks aint reverse after all? ;(
lets hope they patch in the fury background after release tho :) its so beautiful :D
Disappointing they nixed the custom soundtrack feature. Why would they do that?!
I'll still buy, of course. But if we get a new entry, custom soundtracks is something we should be demanding.
Still excited, though.
EDIT: The Amazon link seems to show a standard box. How can I ensure I get the steelbook release?
that's it, I'm done with the franchise lolQuote:

Ive been more interested in Formula Fusion. Leon Switch doing the OST is great, tDR is back on board and ALOT of new AG racing features that we havent seen before. Its shaping up REALLY nice and its all NEW. The PS4 and Xbox1 wont see it until late this year but thats fine as the Omega hype will die down after people get their 2048 fix on a TV. and it will be fine tuned PC side first. Aside from 2048 on a big screen i cant really see an incentive to rebuy, wohd looks phenomenal on ps3, custom soundtracks are there too. New songs...meh, Van Uber...meh. "Dynamic 4k" BIG meh, that just means it doesnt support true native 4k so its being upscaled.
In any case, any of the OGs still hang around here other than Hellfire?
That is unfortunate. Zone was so good with custom soundtrack since the equalizer synchronized with them. Let us hope that they can update the game with it.Quote:

Red out is also coming out later this year, and that looks pretty decent, so we will be getting three futuristic racers in the same year. I'd like to see ballistic NG on it as well :) , or at least on the ps1/ps2. I still haven't been able to play the new version of it, just not enough money to get a computer.
You can still use media player in ps4 so its better than nothing ;)Quote:

Just found out about this Omega Collection today thanks to Cat (aka the stinkiest of the stinkers, stinkleroy :P ) I'm beyond stoked. So, in anticipation of the release, I wanted to pop in and say hi. Looking to catch up with old acquaintances and reminisce about the good ole days of Wipeout HD, ha ha. Met so many awesome folks through this game.
i'm back in ;) :DQuote:

I will organise the last European WipEout Convention this year in Amsterdam. I hope it will attract many old and new pilots.

A Playstation without Wipeout is like bacon without egg; decent but could be so much better.
Fingers crossed if this sells well it'll be the start of something new.
I eat bacon without egg ;)
hope so! i'll be pre ordering 2 EU disc Versions (1 to play 1 Sealed) 1 US Version, 1 asia ver if they do that, and steelbook... plus i pre ordered digital Version for dynamic theme ;)
Haven't dropped in here for a while now, but wanted to say I'm stoked about this game! I suspect Sony will be looking closely at sales numbers to determine whether there's enough interest to warrant a new game in the future, so we all have to do our part! ;)
EDIT: People who expect other Pure/Pulse DLC tracks will be disappointed; this game is mostly a port/remaster and they wouldn't have the budget to remake old tracks.
@RacingFan Apart from actually pre-ordering, how did u get the dynamic theme. Was it an automatic download?
Hi, i pre ordered it from the US store on ps4 to play it a day early ;) after payment was complete it gave me the option to download the theme... if u exit the screen without downloading it you cant download it again (it doesnt show in libary or anything) im sure sony will fix this soon
i seen some posts from people who bought the EU version and they didnt get the option to download it at all after payment was complete even tho it says you get the theme now in description
if you dislike the music that is being used in the theme then go to settings > sound & screen > turn off system music
@UnleashSonic
hopefully this game does well and they do some dlc track remakes... i would love to see gemini dam or some other hard tracks from pulse :)
Just got a Twitter reply asking Sony XDev about the Steelbook for the US version of the WipEout Omega Collection. Looks like the USA is getting screwed again... :brickwall
Looking like we'll only get the standard release here... He'll confirm later if the discs will be region free.
If so, anyone want to help me preorder an EU copy? (I can pay, of course. I'd assume I'd be sending money via PayPal?)
Thanks in advance!
I asked customer support about it and it is only in US that you get the theme directly. We in Europe will get the theme when the game gets released.Quote:

Just need to import it now...
It's a bit vague, but the theme thing has happened with other games. Destiny is one i know of first hand, the theme will unlock for you when the game releases. It was exactly the same as this, advertised as been available after pre-order and then clarified a while later that only the U.S. get it immediately. kinda sucks if it's supposed to be an incentive to pre-order now and you don't get it! But that's that i suppose!
From what i can tell there are 4 versions of the game:
1. digital pre-order (comes with dynamic theme and van uber ship)
2. Steelbook edition (no idea what comes with this)
3. standard physical ps4 release
4. standard physical ps4 release pre-order with 4 bonus static themes.
In the UK, at least:
GAME is advertising the physical pre order with the 4 themes.
Amazon makes no mention of any pre order bonus.
ShopTo makes no mention of any pre order bonus.
*EDIT ShopTo have updated their page to include the four static theme pre-order bonus
@Hybrid
Playstation games has been region free since PSP but if you want to use DLC on it then you must download it from the region the game came from
sucks that you don't get the theme till release in eu if u pre ordered it... glad i pre ordered it off us store. i love mine :D
hopefully steelbook is not gamestop exclusive in my country... easily the worst retailer, and they they don't ship :( so i might import it as well ;)
1. Available for all regions.Quote:

That's the info so far at least. If theme and Van-Uber ship can be bought separately after release, no clue.
Edit:
For all that wants the steelbook and don't have a EU PSN account:
The game will be playable but there might be problems if there are extra contents released from the PSN store so best is to go digital or standard released and import the steelbook only for collection purpose.
Gutted to read split screen isn't online. That is almost unheard of with modern games.
I was looking forward to that 1/100 time that my brother might actually beat me. I'd have flown across the room and knock the sofa over to stop him :D
