Wipeout Omega Collection announced for PS4! - Release date 7th June 2017

Your attachment doesn't work.

I thought the track might have been Vineta K, but then thought not.

[Snakenator1]

Well, as it's now emerged that the K-VSR came first, was it Triakis who copied Tigron?

Ooooooooooh snap

Well actually now that I've properly looked at the pictures from XDev's twitter, the K-VSR bares striking resemblance to the Triakis concept ship from pulse. I mean they share a similar length and somewhat tightly compact, stout design. The frame work also looks very similar along the three hulls, it just shouts Triakis concept ship to me.

Hmmmmm I wonder if XDev saw the Tigron and Van-uber billboards from HD/Fury and thought that these two teams were the most logical to resurrect as they're still referenced to in the games somewhat.

I compared two tracks and they look almost the same.

[blackwiggle]

I have to laugh, I just saw that Xtriko [if there was a madder Wipeout fanatic in Portugal I doubt it] is closed Beta testing some new Grand Turismo game, while DINGDONGDANG is testing the Omega pack.....man if they could only swap games

33 days left, the wait is killing me. See you on the track 😀

Of course, I forgot that Sebenco was on snow cover mountain track......that Tigron shot had we wondering if they had remastered one of the tracks from wipeout FUSION, which is where Tigron originated, I can't remember the name of it off hand, but it went underwater for for a good percentage of the long version of that track, and there was another ICE based Fusion track as well, that for some illogical reason had the Antigravity craft slipping on the track, even Colin Berry who worked on Fusion said it didn't make sense to him either

[dmcclusky1234]

Wow, This is unexpected! I never thought Tigron would be resurrected from the Series.

[blackwiggle]

I've just got back from work and see I got a message back from my Omega Pack beta testing mate from the questions asked him last night, he said he couldn't remember that much about HD/FURY/2048 to comment about what's new/ different about the Omega pack, which is sort of the situation I thought he would be in.....BUT, he also said he will tell me anything I want to know about the pack over the weekend, starting from when he finishes work tonight, SO hopefully I can get pretty much all the info about the game that is up until now, not known.

He said he never played the games much online either [no surprise there], so I might ask him to send me screen shots of the online board, 2048 HUD and anything else you guys & girls want me to ask him about the game.
Personally I want him to find out if Online in game chat is working / available or removed, and if the online player identity tags over the craft are working as well, which were both working for the first few days of HD back in 2008, but died in the butt shortly afterwards.
I also want to know if HD/FURY is still playable in 3D, it works on the PS3, but it's pushing the PS3 to the max, on the PS4 it should be a lot better, that's if it's still a option.

I guess I should also ask if any air brake sensitivity changes made in HD/FURY carry across to 2048, which might or might not be the case, as what works for the HD/FURY craft might not work for the 2048 craft, this will also have a effect with online play if the games are loaded from the same lobby and one minute you are playing HD/FURY games, then the host changes to 2048...do air brake changes change automatically with game change, the big unknown?

Any other specifics you lot want to know about the game, just post your questions and I'll ask if I think he will know the answer [remember, he's not a wipeout tragic like we are]

Actually, I'm sending him a huge request list questionnaire via the Playstation Forum PM system, saves a whole load of annoying PSN messages.
I asked him to print out the PM, it has all the track /weapon/ modes/ craft/ lists for each game for him to easily cross reference to, anything missing/ gone from the old will be immediately obvious to him....likewise anything NEW.

Hi wiggle

after i saw the tigron reveal i have to say that i dislike the motion blur

can you ask him for me if you can turn that off? thanks

i forgot to say in last post about racebox... in 2048's racebox can you turn off specific weapons and use whatever you want? like turbo only etc.
in 2048's campaign mode there was some times where you had to only use cannon etc etc, mp was the same, it had cannon + mines only race and a turbo/autopilot/leech beam/shield race

also forgot to ask this one

is a+ speed class (super phantom) still in 2048? and can you play that speed class on hd/fury tracks now?

[blackwiggle]

Mate I just womped him with a big PM at the Beta testers forum.
Here's what I have asked of him in a PM sent around 10 minutes ago ....he's online ATM testing this stuff.....as he is not a Wipeout nutter like the rest of us, I have had to supply info for him to check against

] OK First, can you check to see if there is now the ability to change air brake sensitivity in 2048, like there is in HD/FURY....if there is, it answers one potential problem, but begs the question about another possible one.....or is there one GLOBAL air brake adjustment/setting that effects your controller on all three games?

Depending on answer, this might be one BIGGY to post at the Beta testing site....could be some big Online Only problems, and huge disgruntled player base.

2] Can the HUD display be changed to previous Wipeout game HUD's on 2048, like it can in HD/FURY ?

This wasn't available in the original 2048.

If not, what are available...possible screen shots sent via PSM ?

3] What craft are immediately available to use in HD/FURY and in 2048?

Any of the OLD craft been deleated? original line up was- Feisar, Quirex, Piranha, AG Systems, Triakis, Goteki 45, EG-X, Assegai, Mirage, Harimau, Auricom, Icaras.

Are the new [well from Wipeout FUSION actually] Tigron & Van Uber craft avaiable in both games, or only one?, if so which game?

4] RACEBOX -This is why 2048 died, it didn't have Racebox like HD/FURY where you could practise the tracks.

Could you please list all the tracks available to be raced on in RACEBOX. from all three games.

Could you also please list the different modes that the tracks can be raced on? [some might only be ZONE tracks etc] some might be yet unkown 2048 Zone tracks...... [I never got into 2048 myself until I bought a PSTV and hacked it so I could play 2048 and both the old PURE & PULSE + all DLC PSP Wipeouts on a Big Screen with a PS4 controller]....works well, even through my Sony PJ at 2.2m screen width. LOL

5] Please tell me HD/Fury is still 3D compatiable ....does the 3D option still come up when you start the game?

Is 2048 NOW 3D Compatiable?

6] We are back online again....I looked at you Trophy list and saw that you downloaded WO HD the day it was released as well as I did....remember on the first week or so that when playing online, VOICE CHAT actually worked, it didn't after that frist week, same situation for the little idendity tags over craft when playing online.

Could you please see if either or both options are still available, and if so, how well they are working?

I guess a quick look at the controller configuration options will tell you, if they arn't there, I guess not.

But then again, if they are there, do they work when playing 2048 Online, which was something that was never available?

7] Track differences [use Racebox to check easily agianst what track are available] - more of a check list to see if any new tracks added [sort of doubt it -at least until Sony announce some VR DLC for this title, sort of enevitable really, Sony have always used Wipeout to push any new Tech/gimmick they want to sell ]

Original HD/FURY tracks are: Vineta K, Anulpha Pass, Moa Therma, Chenghou Project, Metropia, Sebenco Climb, Ubermall, Sol 2, Talons Junction, The Amphesium, Modesto Heights, Tech De Ra..... .all in reverse as well.

Zone tracks are: Pro Tozo, Mallavol, Corridon 12, Syncopia

2048 tracks are:Unity Square, Metro Park, Queens Mall, Capital Reach, Empire Climb, Rockway Stadium, Downtown, Subway, SOL, Altima

Just PSM message me when you have or don't have the answers to any of these questions......if a detailed response, please let me know.

[stin]

[blackwiggle]

[blackwiggle]

INCOMING

Quote RE Air brake question: Reply from Omega tester :Air brake is GLOBAL and does effect 2048 but only available at main menu.

Tigron available from start....Van Uber needs to be unlocked......looks like I'm in for a long night.

RE :HUD ...Quote...There is only one HD style HUD style option in the main menu, but it seems [from his perspective ] can't be changed, [He mentions that it doesn't mean that it can't be unlocked ]... Put that down in the 'Maybe' section.

[Racingfan]

Wow so you can change airbrake settings in 2048?!

keep the updates coming

thanks again wiggle

[Mooney]

Can i remind anyone with BETA access that there were terms you agreed to by downloading it. Be careful what you talk about!

[blackwiggle]

Is it Mooney or Money who has made it's [no sex divulged ] presence made with it's one and only post?

Nobody at this forum has Beta access testing.

People that know people, do have that knowledge ....SUE THEM .....that sort of crap doesn't work well online....if Sony want to boost sales....GO AWAY!

[Mooney]

Its mooney, thats my name.

[blackwiggle]

You come across as my old Nemesis.... XTC .....Moony Moony Face.
