    Compilation of 2048 from the PS Vita and the HD games from the PS3, Omega doesn't add anything new to the series but it's catnip to Wipeout fans. For me the franchise peaked with Pulse on the PSP, but this is the best home console version of the game available.

    As a longtime fan of the Wipeout series, I was beyond overjoyed when Omega Collection was announced. I've only now been able to play it at length, and it's just as good as the originals.

I've only now been able to play it at length, and it's just as good as the originals.
    Its biggest strength is definitely the graphical updates. The game looks like how I remember it on the PS3 and PS Vita, which is always a plus. The gameplay is still the same excellence I spent so many hours learning, improving and mastering. I never played 2048 online so there's some ships that I never got to use, such as the Auricom Speed, and using them now that the online campaign has been removed is extremely fun. The biggest downsides, and what keeps this game from being perfect, are the bad soundtrack, the lack of new content, and poor online mechanics. I'm fine with playing my own music, so that's not as bad an issue, but no new content?? Tigron and Van-Uber are great additions for longtime fans, but it's not enough. Lastly, the online play is not good due to the reliance on individual hosting, and in 2022 the online will probably rely on external communication such as Discord to set up a session. Overall, Wipeout Omega Collection is a great way to replay these games, or an even better way to play them for the first time, but if you're looking for something more once it's over, unfortunately you'll have to look elsewhere.    … Expand

    Este foi um dos melhores jogos remasterizados que já joguei na minha vida. Os gráficos são excelentes, roda a 60fps até mesmo no PS4 base, a jogabilidade é prazerosa, é um jogo que eu recomendaria não somente para os fãs da série WipEout, mas para qualquer usuário de PS4.

    The first thing you will notice when you boot up this game is that it looks incredible. From the ship designs themselves to the fully-realized environments, this game looks astonishing. Further, it also runs at a silky smooth 60 frames per second with no dips, even during the most chaotic moments. In a nutshell, this game’s presentation and performance is rock-solid from start-to-finish.

    The better presentation works hand-in-hand to significantly improve the gameplay of all the games in this collection. The improved frame rate and graphics allow you to not only be more precise with your movements, but to always know what’s going on, even at the highest of speeds. This propels the gameplay to a new caliber of fun for all audiences. My only complaint would be a somewhat steep learning curve, due to the lack of a proper tutorial on various tricks, and rather opts for a myriad of loading screen tips, which do help. However, the game is fairly forgiving for newer players at first, allowing to slowly build their skill for the higher speed classes. That’s not to say that this game is for beginners, as there are some tough challenges to be conquered, such as earning gold medals in the HD and Fury campaigns on the hardest difficulty, earning the best ranks in the 2048 campaign, and some rock-hard time trials.

    This game’s content is vastly greater than the price you’re charged to get it, and as such, is a game you should not miss if you enjoy racing games. With beautiful graphics, shockingly smooth performance, and incredibly fast and fun gameplay, WipEout: Omega Collection not only sets a new bar for WipEout, but for racing games in general, which is an astonishing achievement.    … Expand

    Yes it's just a remaster and a collection of older stages but it's almost flawless. It looks really great regardless and plays like a dream. OST update is pretty good as well. I often hear how zero gravity racers are dead, but that's only because since Omage perfection was achieved, you don't need to look further.

    WipeOut: Omega Collection is amazing on PSVR. I was a bit worried for getting motion sick since other racing games has had that effect on me. However on WipeOut I feel no motion sickness at all, even with the motion sickness reduction set to off (except for align to track). Excellent game!

    This game is awesome. I have owned parts of it on the PS3 - and the speed and thrill is still the same. Game is packed with content and is relatively cheap.

    However, if you do not own a PSVR headset, you are really missing out. I cannot go back. The flat version is great - but the VR version is just insane. It is better to control due to the depth perception, and it is just crazy.    This game is awesome. I have owned parts of it on the PS3 - and the speed and thrill is still the same.

    Should not be played by VR beginners due to motion sickness. But if you have your VR legs - this is the best thing since sliced future racing bread.

    A fast-paced futuristic racer that not only looks amazing, but also sports a perfect frame rate. Many of the same tracks I've played on previous games are here and are a treat to play again with the updated visuals. Wipeout: OC is a godlike collection/remaster and a must-have for any owner of a PS4. I love my gaming PC and all, but I'll gladly put it aside for some Wipeout done right!

    I've somehow never played a Wipeout game before, but I'm certainly glad I took the plunge with this 4K remaster. The gameplay is legitimately ridiculously fast & colourful, and the soundtrack mirrors it all perfectly. Whilst there isn't exactly great depth to the career mode(s), the races are entertaining enough to keep you motivated throughout.

    Its technically flawless and in my opinion one of the best racing games as well as one of the best PS4 games alltogether.

    On top of that it has a great difficulty progression which is fair to new players, gets challenging quickly and enormously hard towards the end.

    I was a fan of Wipeout when the series had it's prime on PSone. The first Wipeout was a milestone in gaming. The last one i played was Wipeout 3, so I never played any of the game in this collection which made it quite attractive to me. Over the years I played all other anti gravity racers like Extreme G1-3 and several F-Zeros though. Anyway:

    - Graphics on ps4 pro +s 4k hdr tv are incredible. This is an example how to do a remaster.
    - Controls are very good and responsive
    - 3 games...3 times the tracks
    - Online gaming for all 3 games.
    - Fast paced futuristic action racer with weapons

    Negative:
    - The music is 80% trash. what is going on with techno music nowadays? Do yourself a favor and use spotify and choose a trance radio. Wipeout should use fast and energizing trance music.
    - If you completed all 3 career modes and had some fun hours online it get's stale. But always good for a quick ride.
    - these zone modes are not my thing...they should have done more tracks instead (back then)

    In the end it's probably one of, if not the best action racing game on PS4 right now and I can recommend this blindly to any PS4 owner.    … Expand

    If the mad beats and the fast-racing are not enough to let you get lost in this game then I don't know what will. The game is as beautiful as is thrilling, performing slick moves and constant change in racing environments makes the experience even more joyful. Buy this game, get racing, and "let the beat control your body."

    Wipeout Omega Collection is a collection of 3 wipeout games, remade and put together for what feels like 1 giant arcade racing game
    The collection includes a campaign for wipeout 2048, wipeout hd, and wipeout furry..
    And while this collection makes each campaign feel like it takes place in the same game... each game has its own flavor and style to it, so it standout from the others..
    My personal favorite is 2048...
    Sadly this is the smallest campaign in the game
    2048 has a great balance of speed and combat…
    This campaign only features 4 modes… and 2 of the 4 are based on racing ai or the clock, and the other 2 modes are about not crashing into the walls or being the first to do 100 damage to your opponents..
    There are different classes with different stats so you can race with the best vehicle for the job…
    Wipeout HD and Wipeout Furry hare vehicles and are much longer campaigns than 2048...
    Wipeout HD is more focused on time trials and racing as it features no combat modes... and wipeout furry is heavily combat focused and hardly features racing at and.. and is in turn my least favorite campaign in the game…
    Wipeout is a very fast paced racer… there’s no breaking here…
    its let off of the gas or nudge yourself left or right… it’s so fast that it’s almost impossible to play with bumper cam
    And there are speed boosts around the tracks as well as pickups to sabotage racers, take them out as there is a damage system here, or pick up a shield or speed boost to help you further come out on top..
    There’s heart pumping music, some of the greatest track design in arcade racing history…
    As they all feel unique and varied, they’re memorable...
    However I feel like there are far too tracks for how long these campaigns are…
    these tracks are definitely good enough to be played over and over…
    just not over and over and over and over..
    Eventually I got bored with them…
    And the focus of the HD and furry campaigns didn’t help with this boredom…
    A lack of combat in hd and a lack of just straight up racing in furry made them feel liked they lacked variety…
    This causes the game to start to feel stale…
    Don’t get me wrong... its still thrilling and challenging taking down the much better enemies as you go
    And seeing combat return in the form of eliminator was nice…
    But future Wiepout games need to look back at 2048, for the perfect balance that is…
    I was sad when that campaign was over while I was desperately waiting for the others to end
    You can of course play these games split screen and online as well, though online seems to be a ghost town…
    If youre a fan of arcade racing… despite the game lacking variety the deeper you get..
    Wipeout Omega Collection is a must play game
    And you can always just move back and forth between the 2 campaigns to get more of a 2048 feel
    And I almost recommend that
    I give Wipeout Omega Collection
