Ok just making sure, didn't even realize you could control it until now lol.
Also if I'm running this on a base ps4 on a 1080p tv and a 720p tv sometimes should I enable or disable motion blur? I usually hate motion blur but I feel like it makes sense for racing games so I'm conflicted.
Edit: Also I've asked before but what does changing the airbrake sensitivity actually do?

I'd leave it on; I don't think there's any disadvantage for leaving it on on the base PS4. Unless you don't like the effect, of course.
Thanks for the link, you just sold my friend on the game.
Awesome story and amazing that NeoGAF brought together these two players!
This was my experience also. 2097 reminds me of staying up late and watching AmpTV on MTV, and scoping out my Tower Records for techno cd's and imports with exclusive remixes. I remember buying the OST CD the minute I found it.
Also, CoLD SToRAGE's 'SlipStream Volumes 1 & 2 will be available from iTunes, Spotify, Google App Store and other digital vendors as of 15th June'. This means all of Tim's classic, remastered WipEout tracks will be available to stream while playing Omega Collection
Oh shit!
Edit: I don't see the June 15th date on his site

I'm so bad. Struggled elite passing the first Capital Reach time trial and only got to zone 53 on my first go at the Unity Square zone event. Feel like I'm starting from scratch even though I elite passed everything on Vita including the all the A+ challenges.
Not sure I agree that 2048 looks better either. From a technical standpoint they seem fairly similar but HD's art puts it ahead easily for me. 2048's texture work feels like a step down in comparison.

experimenting with airbrakes on the bumpers now, figured it'd be less fun but since they "recover" faster it'll probably make shifting easier
A part of me is enjoying the interviews and the look into the history of the franchise, but to be honest a part of me is a big salty about a company calling these games iconic (they are fwiw) and gushing about its history and importance to the platform having not long ago axed the great studio that made them. I still think it was a terribly short sighted decision, especially as they never even got a chance at making a proper console wipeout since the PS2 days. Basically they took the fall for Sony's cock ups in the handheld world.
A wipeout game made from the ground up for PS4 would blow minds, I really hope something happens if this collection is a success.

Maybe their plan was to work with a team they didn't own to make new ones? As talented as Liverpool was, let's face it, they had a terrible output and the only ip they worked on after losing the F1 license was WipEout. Wasn't worth keeping a studio that could only produce four WipEout games in almost ten years(one being a remake).

I think they were a pretty small team though? I know they had a pitch that wasn't picked up (probably several).

how exactly does zone scoring work?
also am I right in thinking that energy doesn't recharge in zone so not to use barrel rolls?

Hitting speedpads, completing laps (perfect and otherwise) scores you points. Completing a perfect lap (and/or 'zone') gives you some energy back. Do notbarrel roll, it doesn't give points but DOES take energy off you.
Yeah, it is annoying how the mode is based on 'score' and not purely which 'Zone' number you made it up to!

How are the pro enhancements in this game?
A lot of developers have seen their output decline significantly during that time, the amount of releases you've alluded to there is pretty typical of how a studio typically works these days, I can't think of many developers dropping quality titles continuously. in that time they also had to deal with uncertainty regarding both Sony consoles and handhelds. The real issue I feel was Sony not giving them a chance on consoles where there games actually had the chance to sell, and not being able to get the most out of what were quality, consistent, releases. How can you grow your franchise if you keep releasing on unpopular platforms? It's a cumulative thing which leaves the franchise in a place of increasing irrelevance.
Even though the PSP sold a tonne the software did not, the Vita was obviously a disaster so 2048 was sent out to die.(playing it now for the first time it deserved way better) Sony banked on handhelds, Sony Liverpool supported the handhelds really well but took the fall for Sony's lack of success in that area. I know life certainly isn't fair for developers, but this closure seemed particularly unfair on the Liverpool studio, especially considering their history with playstation and the fact that they were one of the OG PS1 developers who helped propel the platform and the medium in general.
Anyway, I'll leave it there. I'm going to go play some more and enjoy the great games they made.

I was weak and just ordered it. Spent a fortune on the mountain bike lately and was trying to be frugal.

I've been buying way to many games and I just bought this too bout 5 mins ago
Same. Downloading it now actually. Was trying to at least hold off for a sale myself to cut back spending. Reading GAF got me to pull the trigger against my better judgment.

How the fuck people have 30 seconds or even 1 minute race time with 4 laps on sebenco climb on leaderboards?

I ordered from Amazon.com in the US, and these are exactly the same bonuses that I received.
Yes, see above. It should be selectable along with the other ships.
It means they were using one of the Fury ships. The Fury DLC for Wipeout HD on PS3 included some redesigned vehicles for each team, all of which had slightly upgraded stats compared to the teams' original vehicles.

That's annoying then because all original ships are basically useless even if some of them look cooler eh
Imo new ships should either just be cosmetic or be side grades instead of a clear upgrade.

2048 in particular is/was choc-full of awesome little details, particularly on Empire Climb. Shame they (afaik) got rid of the live-action 'commercials' that appear on the screens in 2048, they were amusing.
Yeah I miss those too, they were pretty cool

2048 is kicking my ass compared to the others
I feel like the speed is faster, the tracks have a ton more obstacles and are overall harder to read, the ai much better and the speedpads harder to see (especially when they're also on a blue surface :/ )
oh and I feel like there are a loooooooot more speed pads

LMAO. I didn't notice this before. Excellent screencap. This is hilarious.
Trying to Beat Zico and got to 30.88...damn it. Another round later today.

a patch to let us adjust the color/opacity of pads would be a game-changer, although I'm sure it'll get slightly better when I know the tracks more

Yeah, doesn't really make much sense. Got 120+ in on first go Zone - Empire Climb, but still can't touch HD's Zico which remains a bitch. Hope Hellfire makes a new 'How To' video
