I seem to have lost whatever Wipeout skills I had.
dpad, basically. But there is, well, some cheating to some degree using
another/homebrew controller. Anyhow, dpad is fine, usually.
I've heard that http://www.wipeoutrankings.com/ will be updated for Omega.
SC is perhaps the most beloved track by almost all pro racers that I have met.
So there might be some correlations.

I like Sebenco Climb
Thought the remastered version of it was great!
So do I. I love the 'straightaway' at the end before the hairpin turn & goal. Great fun at the end of that track specifically.

I dpad only. But pitching doesnt help me get those rolls on the uphill sections. Its insainly hard (in a good sense).
Sebenco Climb is an amazing track. Check some vids on youtube to see its potential. Its fast af with lots of air time.

I love Sebenco Climb, but then again, I love rally racers and the track layout seems to be inspired by some northern rally courses, full of elevation changes and complex varying-camber turn sequences.

I have read why people like it but I too hate it. I hate that I can't seem to get a good pace on it no matter how many times I do it, don't mind the art tho.

Pitching helps in this track. Its a master level track though, imo.
Those who still strugle with zico hd: You can pitch down then up and boost your way through the starting line with an extra barrel roll. I tried it after watching feisar_2097 vid, but couldn't do it at all. Then I looked closer and managed to do it. Hope it helps.

Question:
While I enjoyed the Wipeout games, I never liked the criminally short selection of stages, with most campaign modes making you go through the same stage again and again. This looks like a good opportunity to put together the stages of 3 games in the series.
Does the game put the stages together?
Or you simply choose and get locked on one of the 3 games upon booting and there is no mix & matching?

I keep going in and don't see any WipEout stuff at all. Frustrating since they pimped it in the blog.
Edit: I see they're in the UK store but not NA. Then don't put the ad in the US blog. Thanks, Sony.
Been so long since I've played wipeout with a full size controller/not on a portable. Feels exquisite.
Campaign wise, the short answer is no. No mixing and matching. Not sure what options you have for racebox or online.

Traded some stuff in for PSN credit to pick this up (missed out on my chance for the good physical stuff). So excited to see it in 4K HDR
You don´t get locked on a single game, but the campaigns are separated and feature only tracks from the corresponding game. You can easily juggle between each different campaign though.

Didn't know so many other people preferred AG Systems.
They've always been my main team.
It's not likely, but I'd love it if they planned DLC for this and ported over those classic DLC levels from WipEout Pure. I miss playing pre-PSP levels.
But I'm sure most of this game's Dev process was just a port job, and Sony either isn't interested, or no longer has the people available, to make such content.

The optional A+ challenges maybe, but for the main campaign you can gold everything with just feisar speed, quirex fighter,and an agility ship for zone!

There's a special place in Hell reserved for people online who think Phantom class races on Sol 2 reverse are fun.

Played the game I couple of hours yesterday. Lovely looking title and a super smooth experience thanks to the tight framerate.
However I still can't really get into 2048 that well. It just feels a little off for me compared to HD/Fury. I find the open tracks confusing in cockpit view too. It's just something about the tighter, more traditional WipEout tracks in HD/Fury that works perfectly with the cockpit tilting, while I find confusing in 2048. I'm resulting to the outside camera angle like I did on the Vita, which was even more confusing thanks to the tiny screen and tons of details in the environments.
The only downside after playing extensively HD/Fury on PS3 and 2048 on Vita (plus the HD/Fury DLC again) is that the campaign in this game is a little lacklustre and checkbox sheet standard. It gets boring quick. I'm also one of those who just prefer the races, not the other modes I'm forced to play sadly.

I think Sebenco Climb's one of the most gorgeous and polished makeovers in Omega Collection. I also enjoy racing the track with its twisty sections and huge flying boost straight.
I almost prefer the original. The lighting is 10x better and makes the track look more authentic. The second looks so flat.
Wat? There is a lot more going on in the second pic lighting-wise. You can see in the first pic that the lights lining the walls of the track aren't even illuminating anything, and there's a lot more complexity to the way sunlight reflects off of the ice in the environment in the second pic.

If this does well I hope they finally bring over some of the tracks from Pure and Pulse that were left behind in HD Fury. Like Sagarmatha and Porta Kora.

OK just bought a Pro and this may or may not have been a major reason why...
Just bought a new 4KTV the other day as well. Time to live on rice and water for a bit!

Sebenco on reverse is amazing. You can see the twists so much more clearly.

Awesome game so far. Still was able to clock zone 54 in my first run in years. Also looks like they changed the colors in the zones and something just feels different..
I just wish so bad they would redo WipEout 2097. To me, this was and still is the best WipEout game. So much love for Gare d'Europa track

Used to think the same (well, Wipeout 3: Special Edition was my fave), but I've really warmed up to the handling from Pure onwards over the years. 60fps helps so, so much.
The structure/modes of the later campaigns also pummels the earlier entries into the ground.
I do kind of miss 2097's cyberpunk aesthetic compared to the utopian feel of HD, but 2048/Fury thankfully add a bit of grittiness back in (Amphesium/Subway/Sol looking at you).

I miss the absolute brutality of the 64 version, where hitting a wall nearly stopped you.
Still love it though. Finding 2048 to be far more enjoyable. Has a good challenge.

Looks amazing!
Does anyone know if the gold trophy for the Elite campaing is for HD alone or also for Fury is alot harder with those zone battles in Elite...
It's worth it.

Not a fan of the 2048 tracks . Shortcuts are hard to see as are boost pads .

They've really taken some artistic license with this track. I prefer the original.

Did Spotify looses the rights to host the track now? Suck especially now that everyone wants to hear it on custom soundtracks.

Metro Park A+ challenge is insane!
What a hectic and action packed race.
Not exactly my best racing, but it was mad fun:

This was a good introduction. Thanks for posting. I guess the same guy is working on a 2048 video now.
I do have a question about one thing he said, about turning the analog sensitivity for acceleration all the way down (effectively making it digital). Is that what most of you do? I guess it makes sense because the general consensus is that you always want to be full go.
Yeah, it's best to make it digital imo. The DS4 doesn't have analog face buttons though, so the option is probably gone in this version.

Ps4 analog sticks are just too long. If you have to perform multiple barrel rolls in quick succession whilst also steering in the air thats pretty much impossible with the sticks.
They might suffice early in the game, but I would recommend to start with the d-pad right away.
And put the air breaks on L1/R1 instead of L2/R2, because the latter are also to slow if you want to perform these side shifts quickly.

Ah, forgot about the DS4 face buttons being digital. Thank you both for the feedback. Got this waiting at home for me, can't wait to tear into it when I'm off work.
