I'd love it if they released Van-Über as DLC down the line. I'd prefer a physical copy and I really can't preorder both.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if anybody already posted this, but here’s a picture of that Van Uber I just stumbled upon.
Woah,that's really out of my imagination.I thought it would looks like Auricom prototype in 2048
Well, that's a bit more angular than I was expecting! Judging by the FEISAR behind it that must be the Fury variant. Wonder if there's an HD model too
Agreed, very angular. Hopefully the standard model is prettier and with more faithful colours. I was hoping for a nice HD version of this...

Dawn _Fire your attachment doesn't work.
I suspect they found that variant design to Van Uber among a bunch of other stuff we haven't seen when they were given access to the SL archive.
I think it's a pre-order bonus, far as I recall.Quote:

also van uber in omega looks different from pure... so it must be a fury variant
is it confirmed that you can use van uber on 2048? or only on HD/fury?
If that's what Van-Uber should look like as a fury model, then WOW! Those Germans know how to make ships!
Damn that Van Uber ship is sexy, love it!
Found here: https://www.gamestop.de/PS4/Games/43571
What’s Gamestop’s source?
How do you think its stats will be? HD doesn't have a ship that combines good speed and acceleration. Do you think they tried it and realised it was OP or did they just not think about it?
i believe it won't combine excellent speed and acceleration, cause it's a dual frame chassis and as far as i know Van Uber is famous for its manoeuvrebility.Quote:

Also teams sometimes change their stats, PS1 era Qirex was fast and heavy, but now it is more balanced, even though its design hasn't really changed since WO 2097.
Excuse me for getting slightly out of topic. That ship is cool. I don't think I will ever buy a PS4 (and we don't know if the ship will become available to everyone anyway) but I am excited. Too bad Van Uber is the only old team that can make a return.
Hmm I'm personally not a fan of the design as its too flat for my liking. To me it looks more like a Rebull soapbox racer rather than something that belongs in wipeout (imo). But perhaps there will be a HD variant that will retain a similar design seen in Fusion?
I'd love to hear some bits in the lore about how Van-Uber got back into AG racing!
Although the list of trophies for the Omega pack are not yet made available, according to a poster at the PStrophies site they asked at the blog and were told that there will be One Platinum, and the rest of the trophies will be made up of different achievements over the three games.
http://www.playstationtrophies.org/f...395-post1.html
I'm kind of expecting them to make the trophy list longer, with lots of easily achieved Bronze trophies, and remove what are considered the hardest ones like Zone Zeus , Beat Zico, Airbraker etc...maybe replace them with more Online orientated trophies, like get a certain amount of online Medals, or a certain group of 5 or 10 of them.....stuff like that
Bad news: the Van-Uber pick isn't there anymore. Must've been a mistake on behalf of the website as the image is now a fairly generic Sol 2 shot. :(
I hope someone saved it!!
Huh! Luckily I went by my gut feelings and backed it up :P
How could it be a mistake by the website? It looks like a stock image showing the HD Feisar next to what would then be an HD Van Über. They didn’t create it out of thin air.
these are fury ships, not HD
The Van Uber pic is still on the ShopTo site as well, so i think it's safe to say it's official. Not a fan of that particular design myself, looks nothing like Van Uber from Fusion or Pure at all really. Hopefully there's some variations and anyway i'm always ok with there been more choices in the game :)

I dunno, it looks pretty cool.
I was never really a fan of the Van Uber ship designs, they always looked a little gainly and strange compared to the other ships, much like how I despise the appearance of the Mirage ship in HD (The Fury one is pretty baller though).
But that one actually looks pretty racy and looks like it fits with the rest of the HD/Fury crew. Will be interesting to see if it's competitive though, heh.
Comparing the two versions of 2048, I think the original has better lighting. Strange, I hope we can get gameplay videos.
yes, it's official
Attachment 10667
That Van-Uber pick is of the Fury variant. It has a red afterburner trail. So that means two versions confirmed. XD
some other things thats been confirmed thats not in first post, and some unconfirmed at the moment in 1 list (i may have forgotten some)
confirmed:
Ps4 pro downsampling support for 1080p users "PS4 Pro Downsampling? Hell yes!!" - John from XDEV https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...he-soundtrack/
most or all? soundtracks from ps3 and vita is replaced by new ones (licensing issues)
Leaderboards is back in omega, and possibly online leaderboards for 2048 too. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...he-soundtrack/
You cant use 2048 ships in hd fury and vice versa. "2048 ships can only be used on 2048 tracks and vice versa for HD/Fury. The reason for this is the handling of the ships are very different and designed for the tracks specifically." https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...he-soundtrack/
Custom soundtracks from HD/Fury is removed (sony policy) http://www.dualshockers.com/2015/11/...ions-not-easy/
Fury main menu background is removed (why?!??!?!?!) https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017...he-soundtrack/
WipEout omega collection will have 1 trophy list and it will be a mix from hd/fury/2048 into one list. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/...4-on-june-6th/
2048's intro is not in omega collection. https://twitter.com/jonnymack74/stat...59542493376515
Not confirmed at the moment:
Online leveling up system/Badge system from HD/Fury
Van uber playable in 2048 tracks
Leveling system from 2048
2097/wip3out HUD from hd/fury
Online campaign mode from 2048
Also someone posted on us blog asking about 2048 racebox, and john said all modes is in the racebox(A+ time trial etc etc etc) and maybe change options with weapon restriction) http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/...4-on-june-6th/ (look at last posts in comment)
I really hope he also means weapon restriction is in racebox as well, i would turn off mines/bombs/quakes ;)
2048 online had some modes with weapon restriction but those would very rarely show up.. and they're only 1 lap :(
If they replace some then i hope online trophies is removed from it... not really a fan of them, especially bling brigade... I would like to see a fury elite trophy, and elite pass every 2048 event (including A+)Quote:

that be the 5th time i buy omega collection now... my poor wallet :(
I think there will be more online trophies than HD/FURY only because the amount of trophies from 2048 that were online orientated.Quote:

For instance- Bronze trophies might be worth 20 points, Silver 50, Gold 75, Platinum 100 [In actuality they are all probabley worth less than that] - the total trophies could be 1X Plat - 2 X Gold, 3 X Silver and 5 bronze to make up the 500 points.
Anyway my point being, since HD had so many Gold & Silver trophies, and Fury trophies were previously a separate add on trophy list, and now we have 2048's are being mixed in to make up the single Omega pack trophy list, a lot of the High value Gold trophies are going to have to go to make room for the others, which means things like Beat Zico , Zone Zeus maybe Arcade Perfect etc
As for Bling Brigade, I think if they did include it, getting it on the PS4 would be a lot easier than the mucking about needed on the PS3, if only because you can set up 'Groups ' on the PS4, one especially for BB could easily be made
@Racingfan - Thanks, I'll update the front page later on
They can always change the trophy values to bronze though. Rise of tomb raider ps4 main list has trophies 64 bronze, 1 gold and 1 platinum) it also have 50 trophies as DLC.Quote:

i think each DLC list has a minimum of 200 or 300 points
It is funny that Van-Uber ship has FX400 logo on its side, although this team never appeared in WipEout Pulse.
I remember one of Feisar ships on 2048 (at least on a cover) to have that template too. Probably just time saving thing-something had to be put there, and there was no time to design some sponsor logo that would fit, so they just easily used FX400 RL logo. Probably only enthusiasts like us recognize things like these so... It actually doesn't degrade games value, at least for normal player.
I think if they changed the value of trophies like Beat Zico, Zone Zeus etc to Bronze,or even Silver, then they would go down as the toughest Bronze/Silver trophies in any Playstation game.Quote:

Nah, would probably be in top 50 in hardest/longest bronze/silver trophies, some games like raiden iv 1 credit clear on the lower difficulties is x100 harder than zico/zeus, and its only a bronze and silver (hardest difficulty is a gold though) and any pinball games which has mostly bronze/silvers is much harder than wipEout. Zone zeus isnt really hard anymore either,and if its back, and if it works on sol in 2048, it be even easier than syncopia
yeah trophy communities dont like it being hard and may skip the whole game because of a trophy like zone zeus :(
i remember when need for speed (which has a super easy platinum) released the prestige DLC, it made the 100% hard then people started complaining at ea demanding it to be easy...its not really hard anyway its a bit easier than wipEout's difficulty imo.... they never nerfed the requirements btw.
Oh and that trophy is also a bronze :lol
trophy list will most likely show on trophy sites a week before release like most games... but it may appear a month before release as well, but thats rare
one thing i dont think xdev has confirmed is... if you can play detonator/zone battle on 2048 tracks... that would be really cool to see but doubt it ;(
haha didn't notice that :lolQuote:

Also, do you think the game will have the Syncopia glitch?
i think so. hopefully it'll 'feature' new glitches as well, like playing 2048 tracks with hd/fury ships and vice versa...Quote:

If the game can be modded someone will try it. I don't know what will happen to the leaderboards though. This might be a bad idea...
nah maybe SL planned to release those zone tracks on other modes than zone, but they scapped the idea and left it there unfinished. vita version removed the track from races, so the game will crash when loading it now from cross play.
i bet the other 3 zone tracks do exist on sl/tt but no one has found a glitch to access them... but they do have leaderboards on tt and sl, but sadly nobody is on those leaderboards
dlc idea for omega :hint:hint ;)
if they really doing dlc stuff for omega, they should focus on all the tracks from pure/pulse in the first place...
Bottom line is, Sony is still calling the shots.
For all we know there could be other tracks for 2048 already partially built in among the SL archives, if any new Wipeout content were to emerge, I imagine it would be for the 2048 craft handling.
I doubt SL were working on any other HD/FURY tracks [conversions from Pure / Pulse] as HD whole reason for being was to be the first download only game at the PStore, and as such would of had a file size limit/target imposed on it before work was begun.
If anything new were to appear, I think Sony would be wanting to do something radical with a new Wipeout, as it has tended to do so with previous releases over the years.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next new Wipeout [Inevitable now that Sony has proven that it hasn't forgotten the franchise] would be VR compatible, just to help bolster VR headset sales, which I think have stalled [I certainly don't see people on my friends list that I know have VR headsets ever using them since they first bought them], I don't know about the UK or USA, but here in Australia, I'm no longer seeing VR demonstrations being made available for people to try, it's as if the whole VR thing has already run it's course and has been relegated to history.
Steelbook is now available for pre order on game (uk)
http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/sto...xCatalogSearch
and on shopto.net http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps...elbook-edition
shop to's shipping costs 3 pounds to scandinavia... i wanted two, but they didnt offer multiple games in 1 package so i would need to pay shipping twice :(
so i ordered off game... shipping is only 2.95 to scandinavia
i also checked the shipping price for you american WO fans, its only 4.95 pounds if you order from game.co.uk so it be 34.94 pounds overall for steelbook release.
edit: shop to will take your money when the game is shipped, same with game
