WipEout Omega Collection releasing on June 6

Well there's no reason to keep great games on end of life platform they won't makes successor for if they can give them second chance. And if we go by gravity rush example there might be PS4 game already in production.
 
Can confirm, I've had them on my Vita for years now, they work great! Don't be concerned if the game seems to freeze for ~10s in the initial loading screen and loading a new track, it's just the system accessing the new data.

On the note of Pure and Pulse on Vita, does anyone else notice that they seem to run smoother? Performance wise, I think the framerate is a lot steadier and the OLED does wonders for the picture, too. Basically keep my Vita as my portable WipEout machine.

Thanks for the tip. Do you remember the steps you took to actually transfer the downloaded files onto your Vita?

The download wasn't working last night so I couldn't try it but I've just done it now, however I've no idea what to do next other than unzip the file. Is it a simple content manager job or something more complicated?

Yep, follow the method outlined on the first page of this WipeoutZone thread.The thread covers any issues you might have, too.


Also it looks like US won't be getting the steelbook preorder bonus.
 
Ridge Racer next.

I like your avatar.
 
So what is the situation with the steelbook edition? Want to pre-order but retailers only list standard edition. (EU)
 
Sony is bringing 2048 to PS4? They must really want to erase Vita bad. What will they take next I wonder :P

All kidding aside, the PS4 really does lack great arcade racers. Seeing this happen is great. I for one hope Activision brings over Blur one day. The IP deserves a second chance at life.

So does Bizarre Creations. :'(

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Blur will, unfortunately, never return :/

This hurts me profoundly, but I figured as much for a long time now.

On a more positive note, I'm super excited for the Omega Collection. I just wish I could order one version (physical or digital) and get all the preorder bonuses. As it is, I'm severely tempted to grab both versions because I need more Wipeout themes in my life and Sony seems to have a track record of not selling preorder themes after a game has been released. I get giving it away to people who preorder, but why not sell it for some extra cash money afterwards? Preorder people got a freebie and the rest of us can pay up for the digital trinkets.
 
Ridge Racer next.
Seems they are remastering PSP games like Parappa, Loco Roco, Patapon. And releasing this Wipeout collection that is basically remasters of a Vita game and 2 remakes of PSP games.

Just ask them to merge the 2 Ridge Racer games into a PS4 remaster collection, that were a compilation with the best (most content, RR7 & later never existed) of the series.

Regarding Parappa I know it's a PS1 game, but considering it's being ported by the same guys who are porting the other PSP games and basically has the same improvements, I bet they are porting the PSP version to PS4.

Gimme a Lumines pack with 1, 2, the skins from Live! and Electronic Symphony and I'll be in heaven.

So does Bizarre Creations. :'(
:(
 
I wonder why this isn't up for preorder yet on Best Buy. Just says coming soon.

Yeah, really hoping they get it up soon. I want to use my $5 in rewards on it that expires this month.

Getting the feeling this is probably going to be a relatively limited physical release.
 
So, I pre-ordered the digital version yesterday, but I can't find the theme anywhere in the theme settings, library, or PSN store.

Hopefully the game won't disappoint on release when it comes to the inclusion of supersampling.

Yeah, I'm not taking any chances and I'll just grab the digital copy with my April Promo bonus to have the game immediately playable from my HDD (I like having games, especially racers, immediately​accessible) and preorder a physical copy for the steelbook in whichever region gets it. Xdev Twitter told me Australia would get steelbook but I've asked about and there's been no word so idk...

I'd LOVE a Lumines collection! Suppose licencing would be the main thing holding any such collection back.

If you don't live in NA, you probably won't get the theme until release. Every other region has to wait, USA gets it asap after preordering :/ it shits me, honestly. I'd be running that dynamic theme already otherwise, but now I have to wait months instead.

I'm in Europe, so that explains it. Pretty shitty thing to withhold it from customers outside of NA.

If you find out, let me know. I bet it'll be EB or JB though :/

At least the price on EB's website seems reasonable, assuming they charge the same for both.

Fake edit: Shit, Looks like it is! Sucks they don't actually say whether you'll get one or not, just that it's available "while stocks last".

Also, is this the first look we get of the steelbook?

That's a thing of beauty. I could frame it and put it on my wall.

Pretty sure it is. Damn, that's one good looking steelbook. Not better than DC, but damn close. Clearly inspired by OG WipEout and 2097 covers - grey, purple and yellow and ships flying towards the viewer, one point perspective. Had the ships been drawn as wireframes... man, would be perfection.

I like, I really like it. And now I need it. Fuck.

This be 'Straya, but I'd assume it's EU as well. Not sure on US.

I thought the same thing about my DC one, but it lies, still shrinkwrapped, packed away somewhere from when I moved house 6 months ago.
still sexy as hell, though

Yeah, same. Will probably do like what I did with DC, buy the steelbook but also get it digitally so I don't need to change discs to play it.

Here's hoping they don't do anything to stuff up the handling/feel given it's not (as far as I know) the original staff working on this.

Yoooo, that looked incredible. Gonna head in to preorder now! :D I went into EB after steelbook was announced but they didn't know anything about it, these things take time I guess.

Is the steel book for EU region only?

I think Xdev confirmed on Twitter that it was just EU; Australia included apparently.

Preorder online! I did, for pickup on release day. $10 deposit and it's locked in that I get a steelbook.
 
Does anyone know if it's possible to preorder the EU steelbook from NA? I desperately want this, but I don't know if it's possible to get the retailers selling it to ship internationally

Try it. I linked to the Australian EB site a handful of posts up.

I don't believe AU EB Games ship internationally...

However, JB Hi-Fi do... WipEout Omega Collection

International Orders

For international orders, please allow 2-4 weeks for air mail delivery (on rare occasions, international delivery can take up to 6 weeks). International customers will be responsible for any import duties, taxes or any other import related costs. For orders delivered with Australia, no import duties will apply.

Whilst some of the AU Stores are first to put up the info, I would suspect you might be able to find a cheaper option when all the Europe sites are updated.

JB-HIFI should work if you US fans can't find a cheaper price from EU, although the codes for the static PS4 themes mightn't work due to regional bs (same with EU though).
 
Is Wipeout 2048 the same thing as Wipeout XL in North America?

I enjoyed Wipeout XL for the PSX, but overall I prefer my high-speed futuristic racers to focus on racing. Save the weapons for the kart racers.

Wipeout 2048 was a Vita launch game set before all the other Wipeout games, and is not the same as Wipeout XL/2097, the PS1 game you speak of.
 
Still can't believe this is coming out on my birthday. Couldn't be more appropriate. At least I've got my present to myself figured out.....as I know my wife won't get me this lol.
 
Alrighty; pre-ordered! Now to wait until I get my $15 April Promo credit to get my digital copy (and sweet dynamic theme). Not going to take the chance that it won't be available afterwards, and I like having games immediately accessible on HDD.

hory shit
 
You know, I think I honestly prefer having the four static themes than the dynamic one. Only way I'd prefer a dynamic theme is if they had the Fury menu background (and music).

Yeah the Fury menu's BGM and FX were so awesome. Would often boot it up just to hear it purr 😁 would be cool if that music and theme are present in some capacity. But this dynamic one is arguably the next best thing (OG WipEout HD menu), so I'm happy anyway. Still going to get both static and dynamic with physical/digital anyway (I'm a sucker, I know :P)
