![]() A cool feature that’s included is the ability to basically put on bumper rails for races, keeping you from slamming into the side of walls. The racing controls have a good mix of classic arcade and skill to keep up with the ludicrous speed harder difficulties and other modes provide. Rocking at a steady 60fps without a single dip even in some of the heavier action parts of the Eliminator mode makes it so every moment racing at those break neck speeds is exhilarating. Having a large amount of content is all well and good, but what really matters is how it plays, and I’m glad to say that it plays flawlessly. All together WipEout Omega Collection packs in 26 unique tracks, 46 unique ship models, 28 licensed soundtracks, 3 campaigns, split-screen and online multiplayer, racebox (Create a Track) and a photo mode. Fury also included a brand new 80-event campaign mode, a redesigned menu interface, several new trophies and six new songs. The last piece of content is actually a major expansion to WipEout HD. WipEout HD Fury consists of 8 new tracks, 13 new ship models, and three new game modes: Eliminator, Zone Battle and Detonator. While these games were already remastered in 1080p and 60fps for PS3, the PS4 version and most notably the Pro version makes it shine brighter. ![]() Originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2008 it was a remaster of WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse. WipEout HD is the next game in the collection. It’s set in the year 2048 and acts as a prequel to the first WipEout game. The first game happens to be the most recently released game, WipEout 2048, originally released as a launch title for the PlayStation Vita. WipEout Omega Collection comes with 2 full games and an expansion pack fully remastered for PS4 and PS4 Pro to sink your teeth into, and there is a ton of content to do so with. WipEout is a series of futuristic anti-gravity racing games that are known for their fast-paced gameplay, 3D visual design, a bumping electronica song list and a strong graphical design. With three fully revamped games for the PS4 and PS4 Pro for only $40, I feel like I came away with the steal of the century getting to experience them at their best for the first time. But I came away extremely impressed and baffled as to why I never played them through the years. With only having played WipEout64 way back in the late 90’s, and Nintendo Switch Fast RMX -another futuristic anti-gravity racer which WTMG fully recommends and reviewed– I wasn’t sure what to expect from this collection. It’s a great package for returning fans and newcomers who have heard about WipEout (like myself), but never dove in for whatever reason. In this revealing technical interview, the developer provided three of its finest to answer our questions: game director Tony Buckley, WipEout HD graphics engine lead Chris Roberts, and finally WipEout HD: Fury lead programmer Stephen Taylor.Īnd while we had access to these gentlemen, we thought we'd get some of the most popular WipEout HD FAQs out of the way first.WipEout Omega Collection stands tall as a shining example of how to deliver a spectacular collection of games with a fresh coat of paint for a new generation console. We talked about the game's dynamic 1080p resolution back when the original launched, and Sony itself discussed the technique in more depth at its recent Develop presentation, but we wanted to know more the implementation and some of the other technologies Studio Liverpool used to create this superb game. Studio Liverpool made 'full HD' the target resolution, making it one of the few developers to make good on the 1080p dream, coming up with brand new PS3 rendering technologies in order to create a game that runs as close to a sustained 60FPS as possible. Of course, from a technical perspective, WipEout HD and its furious pseudo-sequel are of prime interest to Digital Foundry not just because they are beautiful-looking, technically adept games. The game scored an immense 9/10 on Eurogamer this week, meaning it is utterly unmissable. However, describing it as a mere add-on is something of a disservice: the £7.99 download offers almost as much new content as there was in the original game, and while the core gameplay is initially very familiar, the execution of the new game modes really is WipEout as you've never played it before. It's one of the crown jewels of the PlayStation Store, and last week SCEE updated the brilliant WipEout HD with a brand new Fury expansion pack.
