In that video it sounds like the engine sounds/effects for the HD/Fury craft were changed. They seem to sound more like the 2048 craft.

Is it just me or is that correct, now? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all. I'm more just curious than anything.

That video is also hella sweet. Sure those guys aren't the best at the game but dear god those visuals. <3

I'm hearing the WipEout 1 announcer countdown there, that's awesome. That alone is cool, but if we can now select a HUD and a countdown voice from the old games, that is incredible. Wip3out 'curly says go' would be nice!

In fact have the classic HUD's been confirmed? I used to play with the 2097 HUD.

[scalliano]

Can we still unlock the Wip3out HUD? Can't play HD without it

[blackwiggle]

Yes in HD/FURY, it's exactly the same as the PS3 version, opens after certain Loyalty points milestones gained when playing Campaign , first 2097 HUD, then WO3 HUD at 10,000 points

Hello everyone! Been a long time lurker on here and thought it was time to be a bit more active.

So excited for this! Pre ordered both digital and physical copies. The wait is killing me.

Does anyone know if Orbital's P.E.T.R.O.L (final drop mix) is included in the soundtrack?

Cheers :-)

[blackwiggle]

I can't tell, when in AUDIO section, under the Track List - It's saying 'Playlist Contains no playable tracks'.
When racing around the tracks I have seen the occasional Artist -song title pop up [sorry I can't remember where ] but at least in the menus at the moment, that information is unavailable, maybe it hasn't been finalized yet?

I know that the pedantic among some of you are going to be wondering, if when racing the PS4 version of HD/FURY, are my times possibly going to be quicker than my PS3 HD/FURY times.
Well I thought I'd test that and lay that to rest ASAP.
I had both my PS3 & PS4 both with HD/FURY fired up, both going into the same TV, both using the same HDMI socket .....at first I did think that the Omega pack version was a tad quicker, but then realized that it was probably due to the difference in music and sound effects just making it seem that way, so I turned all effects and music off on both consoles and tested again....No difference that I could tell, the picture looked smoother on the PS4, but not by as much as you might think [I was surprised just how well the PS3 held it's own].....by the way, my PS4 is a standard 1TB model....if any difference would occur if using a PS4 Pro, I don't know, I really doubt it.

2048 looks gorgeous and plays brilliantly, and having Racebox for it is a God send.
I bought a PSTV to play 2048, but never got around to opening all the tracks, so a few of them were new to me, so was A+ speed class which I decided to try for the first time on a track it turned out I had never raced on before....that was interesting.....talk about getting thrown in the deep end, surprisingly I ended up with a pretty good time actually, suppose it was because I had just finished the whole of HD campaign in one sitting, I was well warmed up

16 No 1 SL & TT times to beat Hellfire....By the way, Happy Birthday

Great news. Thanks.

Thanks Blackwiggle!

Got my 4k 43" TV and Playstation 4 pro recently, so I'm all set!

wait a moment, you already have the omega collection? or do you have access to the beta somehow?

[blackwiggle]

The latter.
I used to be a Beta Tester under another PSNID, but gave it up for various reasons.....rubbish games to test basically.
I used to pass codes on, so I called in a favor and got one back for this beta....I probably got sent one to my old email address, but I haven't used that in 8 or 9 years, can't even remember what it was come to think about it.

There are a few members at this forum that have the Omega Beta code, looking at my friends list it's around 6 or 7 including myself, most rarely post here unfortunately....Hellfire got given one [hey, I'm not giving you up ASSA did a week ago at the Omega Community ]

I've only had my code for around 24 hours, and thrashed it to death testing stuff, unfortunately the only online server testing is at the ungodly hour of 4.30am for me, I thought it was last night but it wasn't, so I'm either staying up late again, or waking up early so I catch it this time....90 minutes online testing....better be worth it.

[JFthebestJan]

thx 4 the quick reply
all in all it sounds like we'll get what we demanded with the addition of racebox for 2048 cannot wait to get my hands on it...

one additional question: the leaderboards are completely empty, or do they contain any records from the original game?

[blackwiggle]

No old records.
It's a totally new server, so no surprise there, I would expect the old HD/FURY and 2048 VITA records to go the way of the DoDo pretty soon TBH.

We are testing online tonight, tomorrow and Monday, only the top 100 online records are being saved ATM, I expect a clean sweep once the game has officially been released.

Have you joined the Omega Pack Community? if not shoot me a friends request, 'it's the place to be man' The Clever Beans guys are members, pretty much the OLD crew I sent invites to o Friday....basically all the Top Ten record holders are in already.

Except Yelder....wtf

[marcingru]

Cant wait for 2048 racebox and proper multiplayer races, tnx for sharing info

[mdhay]

Careful, Blackwiggle: Loose lips sink ships!

Hey Blackwiggle,

Good to hear you've got into the Beta - can I just politely remind you that you are under NDA and not to talk about the game publically. Please don't confirm things / features / modes that are not announced through official channels, (i.e from Sony's Twitter accounts or blog sites) - this may seem minor, however we have a very thoroughly planned news & marketing calendar worked out for this game.

If you have any comments or concerns about the beta, you will have a feedback form you can fill in which (ironically) comes straight to me. There have been several members of this forum who have actually used this process and we've fixed their concerns or implemented new features. (These aren't in the Beta!)

May I also remind you that the BETA trial isn't the final game, we're still working on it. Everything you're currently experiencing is subject to change. Hope to see you online at some point during the Beta! Would be good to whup you at 2048.

Cheers

I wonder the same thing. That mix fits a lot better

Happy Birthday Hellfire!

[Racingfan]

Orbital hasn't been confirmed yet, but i hope they add it... PETROL is so good

[bigsnake]

@NotEnoughRed

Hey! I just wanted to pop into this thread to ask if there is any possibility of getting Super Phantom for racebox in HD/Fury since 2048 has A+ class? It would be really cool to go faster outside of Zone.

I've had omega collection pre-ordered for a while now, super excited about the release!
Thanks

[Racingfan]

i would love to see super phantom class, or even zen... back when 2048 was released, SL buffed the airbrakes in HD/fury making phantom easier
