Wipeout: Omega Collection

The Wipeout Omega Collection is a must for anyone who has either loved the Wipeout franchise or heard about it, but never had a chance to see what the fuss was about. With three games included, there’s a lot of content here and all of it is fantastic. It’s a bit of a shame there isn’t content here beyond the games – like a museum or jukebox area, but it’s no big deal. Everything that needed to be put in here was, and small improvements in theory – like the driving assist – really do make it a more fun experience. It plays wonderfully, looks gorgeous, and sounds incredible. Anyone hoping for a return for the franchise should pick it up.

As sad as it is to think there may never be another new WipEout title ever, I'm still satisfied that Sony at least went through the trouble to remaster some of the better WipEout games for the PS4. But who knows… the series could have some life left in it, and hopefully long-time fans and those new to the Anti-Grav experience will at least get a chance to appreciate it at its best in WipEout Omega Collection.

Equal parts style and substance. But a brutal old school nature means low accessibility for newbies. Worth persevering with, however. This is PS royalty. [August 2017, p79]

Wipeout Omega Collection is the triumphant return of an icon. Its blistering speed, slick visuals, and thumping soundtrack are everything you’d ever want from a Wipeout game, even if – upgrades aside – it is everything you’ve already had in a Wipeout game.

Wipeout Omega Collection offers that rare blend of arcade fun and serious racer. Fans of both can enjoy this game and there's plenty of options to make sure no one feels left out.

Wipeout Omega Collection is an excellent remaster, the best way to play the most recent games of the franchise. It offers us great graphics, terrific soundtrack and a gameplay that remind us why Wipeout is the king of futuristic racing games and deserve to continue with more entries to the series in the near future.

A complete collection with great graphics, a neat soundtrack, and the fast and furious (pun intended) gameplay the franchise is known for. Now, about that new iteration...

The thing that sets Wipeout apart from racing games of today is that it doesn’t take itself seriously during a time where some racing games are beginning to do so more regularly. Wipeout is silly, it always has been, but that’s the beauty of this gravity-defying joyride. Every time Sony releases their latest console, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new Wipeout game to accompany it. Although this time it’s taken a while for this iconic racer to get an update to next gen, WipEout: Omega Collection has been worth the wait.

While each of the three games exude style and stimulation in their own distinct ways, they collectively showcase the best elements of franchise's engrossing racing and silky smooth visuals. And even though it doesn't completely scratch the itch that only a completely new PS4 sequel can offer, this collection is easily the next best thing.

Although the original developer Psygnosis does not exist anymore, Wipeout is better than ever - and we sincerely hope that Wipeout Omega Collection is not the last entry in the series.

After all this time, we still miss you everyday, Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool. An amazing pack for those who didn't play these games. But Sony, what we want is a new WipEout! And we don't understand where WipEout 2048's online campaign went.

Wipeout is back, better than ever. This MUST be your next game if you love racing games and iconic PlayStation titles.

WipEout is a religion, the air brakes are its ministers, and speed is its only temple. Omega Collection is the celebration of its creed, the three chapters of the saga gathered in one, thrilling experience. If you love speed, you can't possibly want to miss it.

The WipEout Omega Collection is all the WipEout goodness a fan could want. You’ve basically got the most modern rendition of a PlayStation classic in UHD and HDR, at a blistering frame rate and with an accompanying booming soundtrack. Yet for those of us who played these three games to death, this collection will serve as a painful reminder that we haven’t seen new WipEout material on a home console in a long time.

Wipeout Omega Collection pulls together some of the series’ most recent highlights and uses the power of the PlayStation 4 Pro to keep the franchise on the technological bleeding edge – and it does so in spectacular fashion. This feels like far more than a tentative step towards a fully-fledged new entry, proving that as long as there’s PlayStation, there should be Wipeout.

It's great to see this series on the PlayStation 4, and you'd be daft not to give it a go. Fantastic track design, a stunning soundtrack, and plenty of game modes makes this one of the best racers out there.

With breakneck racing thrills and impeccable presentation, this ranks up there with The Last Of Us Remastered as the best redux on PS4.

The WipEout series is a shining example of how to keep racing exciting with many variations and an awesome visual style. The classic gameplay holds up beautifully so if you're craving some fast-paced races then Omega Collection is more than enough to satisfy.

WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic update that runs as smooth as a supersonic hovercraft.

WipEout is back in all its glory on the PS4. The classic E racer is amped for 4K and consistent 60FPS. With three games remastered on a single disk, it’s a must-buy for old-school players and newcomers alike who enjoy fast arcade racing games of old.

WipEout: Omega Collection offers a lot of substance for fans of the series, with an almost over-whelming number of ships, race teams, courses, and modes to unlock. For those with the PS4 Pro and appropriate 4K TV, this is the best looking WipEout game you’ll get the pleasure of seeing. This is made all the more heart-breaking with the likelihood this could be the last WipEout game we’ll see considering the original studio who created the franchise are no longer around.

WipEout is back for one last collection. It has three of the best WipEout games, a lot of tracks, ships and a bombshell of a soundtrack. And, it is totally overhauled to today's standards. If you have a PlayStation 4, you must own this.

Well-done remaster collection with timelessly good glider gameplay and great content.

This is a content-rich collection, one that is especially worth investing in for WipEout newcomers. Longtime players might feel fatigue from tracks that have seen repeated use over the years, but even then, I'd argue the audio and visual polish present in Omega Collection makes it worthwhile -- with or without a 4K-ready setup. The dream of the '90s is alive at PlayStation.

It's brilliant to see WipEout back. It looked great back in the day, but thanks to the power of PS4 it now looks incredible, and captures with style the adrenaline-pumping action that we so fondly remember.

Wipeout Omega Collection takes three forgotten titles to the attention of the vast PS4 public, adding 4K resolution, HDR support and steady 60 fps. Maybe this won't be enough for players that have already played Pure, Pulse and 2048, but all the rest of the racing game lovers out there should consider buying it.

WipEout Omega Collection won’t hold your hand; if you’re not at the peak of perfection, you’ll find yourself trailing behind the pack. It’s as much a celebration of old-school difficulty as it is WipEout itself. Full of crisp, vibrant and detailed tracks, ridiculous speeds and an overall feeling of bad-assery, it’s hard to go wrong with the bundle.

WipeOut at its best has always been gorgeous on the eyes and smooth on the ears with a soundtrack that matches the beat of the game. WipEout: Omega Collection is that sensation wrapped up in striking 4K visuals that helps define it as the definitive WipEout experience.

This is the biggest and most spectacular version of Wipeout. Tons of content, amazing visuals and even some additions that remind us that it's time for a new episode in this series.

Wipeout is back again with a triple-charged pack full of great tracks, awesome graphics, incredible OST and frantic playability.

Exciting, challenging and rich in content, WipEout Omega Collection is an excellent debut for the series on PlayStation 4.

WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic game for both new gamers and seasoned racers alike, offering something for everyone.

It is not a new WipEout game, but we highly doubt we will ever get something better than the WipEout Omega Collection. This bundle offers three classics that are truly timeless. Excellent.

It's still sad that Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool is no more, but if Omega Collection proves a test-run for the new developers to handle a brand new, original WipEout, then the franchise looks to be in good hands.

Some dated ideas are masked by the visual makeover, but WipEout still plays and looks like nothing else. If you have the patience, The Omega Collection will reel you back in. [Aug 2017, p.91]

What disappointed me in Omega Collection was the music – barely adequate at best, boring at worst. Other than that Wipeout is back with its unmatched sensation of speed. [08/2017, p.67]

Quotation forthcoming.

Wipeout persists as a utopian phantom consumed with aesthetic elegance and driven to exhibit a vivid sensation of speed. The nature of this package’s identity—Wipeout Omega Collection is three different but very similar experiences—may nudge against a wall of homogeneity, but it’s easy to overlook when you’re going too fast to focus on anything in the periphery.

WipEout Omega Collection is a great collection of games for those already familiar with the series, but also for the players who’ve yet to experience futuristic racing.

A nice remake that only makes what's strictly necessary to accomplish its goals. A missed opportunity and a great game at the same time.

XDev has brought back an adrenaline-pumping, game with WipEout Omega Collection. A really well-done remaster that only makes us yearn for a new entry in the franchise.

Quotation forthcoming.

Wipeout is back with all its extreme speed and catchy electronic tunes. The Omega Collection is a great reminder of what makes this franchise so good... But also leaves us desperately wanting a proper new game.

WipEout Omega Collections is full of tracks, vehichles and style. But there's nothing really new and the game isn't as fresh as it used to be.

A very welcome return for Sony’s classic future racer, and while it doesn’t represent anything new it does show the WipEout series at its very best.

You can regret that this is not a new WipEout for PS4. But you can't blame this compilation fr being what it is. Because it is indeed a great way to meet again with the series and its beautiful and intoxicating races, with a lot of challenges and fun offered offline and online.

A package of three of the best twitch racers out there, and given that we need to wait for Sony to find a new home for the WipeOut series, this will keep us going just fine in the meantime, you’d think.

WipEout Omega Collection is a remaster that any fan is going to go loopy over, and there’s a high possibility it'll find a new audience, too. A very slick and well-designed update.

WipEout Omega Collection is filled with amazing content, but we do basically know all of it already. Especially as some WipEout-games even repeat certain tracks. Other than that it is an awesome collection.

WipEout Omega Collection is a great return for the arcade racing videogames. Thanks to its colorful circuits, variety of vehicles and amazing soundtrack, this game delivers a unique experience.

The gameplay is still smooth and quick, the music will make you want to dance, and the racetracks look better than ever.
