    Graphics: the Visuals are Stunning, though its only a Racing Game, its one of best looking on the ps4 as of right now. (Others come to mine include Driveclub, made by another First Party Sony Studio that is now closed). every second i just want to pause the game and use the inbuilt Camera Mode just to show off every aspect of the game. on the PS3 version it was blurry textures even though it was 1080p 60Fps as well. On 2048 for the Vita, with its small screen you could still tell how beautiful it was but was drowned out by the Resolution, in the Collection lets you see what everyone was thinking, 2048 on a bigger screen and it holds out. every second you see the texture on the roads/tracks and the logos/text on the ships, some things that you wouldn't have seen on the small screen of the Vita. There is added lens flares, and some bloom and glow from the lights around the track that make it even more beautiful than it was before. everything they have done is a plus in this department.

    Sound: with the Audio, its different situation from the original 2, the wines of the engines in 2048 that sounded like Star Wars Pod-racers (or Formula 1 cars) are now nearly non existent, the sounds are the exact same with HD/FURY and have No difference even when the years between the 2 are pretty far Apart. the Machine guns & mines Sound more like Pea Shooters than machine guns and the Bombs do not sound like they should, they sound more like the mines than a Sonic/thermal imploder from Star Wars (another Star Wars reference). that said, the sound will grow on me but would have preferred the more futuristic sounds from the originals.

    Music: The Music is just like other WipEout games but still could be improved, lucky though they include several tracks from the others which hits the spot. there is no custom music unless you use a USB Drive or Spotify, with this unlike WipEout 2048/HD it doesn't interact with the boosts and getting hit by things, but that doesn't matter because i normally turn that feature off anyway. there is 2 options that they have added where you can choose from the 2 types of music they have in the game.

    Campaign: the campaign i don't need to say anything if you already have played HD and 2048, as both are 1000% the same.

    Racebox: I'm So glad with this Racebox, not only its 100% identical to HD/FURY, it adds 2048 as well, unlike the original which only had the Campaign and Online which could only let you race pre-made races and events making it impossible to set a track, speed class and AI difficulty of your choice. but one thing i don't like is that you cant choose 2048 ships and use HD/FURY Tracks, which i knew wouldn't happen but would have been great using them on the other tracks than the default. (this goes for online as well. and i don't mean using 2048 ships against HD/Fury ships because that requires balancing and they said they didn't want to change the gameplay)

    Online: with Online the last game type, its also identical to HD/FURY which is a good thing, but you can now choose which game you want to create, be it 2048 or HD/FURY, each option lets you choose from the game modes from that game, and choose the ships from it as well, so you don't need to switch to a different game, if you are host you can switch in the settings for that lobby. this is also disappointing that Multiplayer doesn't have challenges like 2048 did, but also relieving that you don't need to choose a map and game mode from 2 randomly generated options.

    Ships: the ships in this are the same ones you have in HD/FURY and 2048, but they add extra liveries for 2048 and add 2 extra companies for HD/FURY (Tigron & Van Uber which are only available in HD/FURY), the detail on these ships are amazing, you can now zoom in as close as you want and you will see no pixels or blurry textures. when picking a ship you can turn the ship upside down etc to just admire them.

    Tracks: the tracks have been remaster perfectly, they look so good, and they play the same just like normal. the floors are pixel free and you will just drop your jaw in aw looking at the scenery.

    MISC: the controls are exactly the same but even better on a PS4 controller. photo mode is great and you just need to open the share menu to save instead of hiding the UI making it quicker than ever.

    Pros: great tracks
    great ships
    great campaign, racebox & online
    amazing replaybility
    stunning visuals
    spot on controls
    easy to learn
    Photo mode is useful

    Mix: music is great but could be better
    Sounds have change not for the good or worst

    Cons: cant mix tracks and ships

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Three amazing campaigns to follow, 2048's with 3 seasons.
    Fantastic handling of the ship.
    The amazing online.

    Good sales and good reviews, let's hope another one gets made.

    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:

    - 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

Rock solid 60fps, clean and completely remapped textures, great post processing effects, and a complete lighting overhaul. While it's evident that 2048 has its roots on the Vita, the amount of effort put into bringing it up to the same level as the HD/Fury remasters is to be commended. I would genuinely love to see how this looks on a quality 4K HDR tv on a PS4 Pro.

    Even if you've never played the series before, if a futuristic combat racer looks appealing, you can't go wrong with this, especially at the $39.99 (or less) price point.

    I do knock it down a point because I find the soundtrack a bit lacking, too many low key entries that lack the typical oomph of Wipeout soundtracks of the past. Also, online play is very hit-or-miss as it relies on individual hosting of races/tournaments and can sometimes be completely barren of activities.    … Expand

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!

    Amazing visuals for a remaster, specially after having to play 2048 on such a small screen, If you have a Pro you can run this game easily at 4K 60fps;
    3 big main campaigns that have plenty to do.
    Classic, great controls, very responsive;
    Plenty of options to play besides the main campaigns, from a normal race with or without weapons to tournaments and Zone;
    Only 3 difficulties but very well done, if you're a novice the easiest will be fine but still give you a challenge, if you're a veteran, the hardest surely will give you a challenge;
    Great sense of speed if you're playing on higher speed levels;
    Online multiplayer is amazing, quick servers and as of this review, lobbies are full of people.
    A huge library of content, tons of ships and circuits to play from.

    Cons:
    Soundtrack is meh, some classic soundtracks, but the new ones are meh, no way to import your own music either.
    Cars/Ship sounds are very generic and they're all the same for 2048/HD/Fury, when in the original games they were all diferent, not only from one game to another, but each team had different sounds. This was mainly because a new team did the sounds;    … Expand

Nobody's forcing you to complete everything there is on top difficulty setting to get through the game, and on Novice (which I am) everything seems to be pretty easy for now. In fact, in many races I got results sufficient to beat Gold on Elite on first try. Yes, I already see that it's gonna be tough if I'm gonna go for the platinum, you bet. But that's kinda how the platinum is supposed to be, right? Anyway, the gameplay is responsive, fluid, fun, rewarding and very fast. The graphics are nothing out of this world, but very sharp and miles better then what you can find in DiRT 4. And from the artistic standpoint the ships, the tracks, the menus - everything is gorgeous. This sci-fi futuristic style with it's bright colors and lights, sharp corners and clean lines is never gonna get old. The soundtrack is awesome too, especially if you like techno/electro. I sure do.

    In short, I'm in love with this game and can't recommend it enough. If you like racing games at all and you've never played WipEout before, you owe it to yourself to get this package. Simply put, this is THE racer to get for PS4, not DriveClub. It's THAT good.    … 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.
