Of course it is. Love every Wipeout (although prefer F-Zero). Both are (for me, at least) dethroned by Redout. But every game has its charm, there are too few AG racings to be picky.
Anthony Jones
Yes!
Nathaniel Harris
Extremely. It's a straight port of HD Fury and 2048, both of which are great games in their own right. Very satisfying to learn to control the ships well, great track design, etc. I've platinumed it and I still go back to it regularly just because it's fun. Also it's easily one of the best games on PSVR too as it's a great fit for VR and is fully playable both in and out of VR and a great game either way.
IMO it's a must buy PS4 game, and if you recently got it on PS+ and that's why you're asking then absolutely yes go download it and play it.

It's basically perfect.
Wipeout is a series that killed itself because it reached perfection.
Hardcore Wipeout competitive fags broke down this game to the bone and it has such perfect balance and complex execution at higher levels you'll spend years to truly master it.
But BECAUSE it's perfect, it lost all the rough edges.
Why is wipeout 3 so loved?
Because it had tons of character, even tho it was rough and janky as fuck.
But since HD, then Fury and now this re-release, these games have reached technical perfection and absolute polish but in the process became completely aseptic.
They lost all flavor, they're this 100% polished white slab.
It's amazing, but it's also...boring.
That's why people still talk about Wipeout 3 or games like f-zero and such.
They're technically inferior, but also have characters to them, they're more gripping.
Hudson Ross
How's this?
Bentley Ward
It's the best arcade racer out there right now.
Buy ten copies so we get a proper new Wipeout by the resurrected Studio Liverpool team.
Nicholas Phillips
Yes, and fucking stunning if you have a PSVR.
Sebastian Cox
Excellent but challenging. Can't say about ps4 but the PC version has no issues I'm aware of.

How are the Fast Racing games?
I was considering buying the newest one on the switch if it is fun.
Owen Hughes
I really enjoyed it. I'm probably in the minority, but I'd put it up there with the other modern Wipeout games. Obviously Omega Collection gives you better bang for your buck if you don't already own the games being ported though. Base PS4 has some pretty bad framedrops as well.
Christopher Kelly
No. Play the classics if you want fun.
Robert Wilson
That drop on Sol really got me the first time i was playing VR
Also if any of you already have the game before this i still recommend grabbing the ps+ version since it has the Van Uber team dlc included
Colton Perez
haha janky
David Miller
I've never played a wipeout game before and I just got the omega collection off of PS+ and this shit is cash
Also van Über is my jam
Joshua White
People like the PS1 games because the handling is different
Eli Phillips
I still don't fucking understand why Sony shut down so many European studios that used to work with them back in the 90s and 2000s.
Nathaniel Wilson
How is this different from fast rmx? Is there boosting or is there drafting mechanics
David Turner
never played fast but the main gimmick here is that the antigravity stuff means you really have to anticipate corners early or you're going to go careening into a wall
Easton Roberts
I like it but I feel like the tracks are too small and cramped. My memories of the older Wipeout games are of long, open tracks with distinctive sections to them and all sorts of neat short cuts. Feels like they reduced the size of the maps for performance reasons, as I remember the graphics and frame rate being cutting edge for the original PS3.
Jose Lee
Wipeout never sold particularly well. The modern era especially.
Nathaniel Cruz
There's weapons allowing you to fuck up your opponents and you're essentially on rmx's hero mode with a shield bar that can get depleted by getting hit/ramming walls etc. If it drops to 0 you explode but you can regain shield by absorbing weapons

I just wish there was more tracks. I already played the hell out of Wipeout HD and Fury so i know those tracks like the back of my hand, the 2048 tracks are cool but there's not many of them and you can only race them in one direction.
Playing a track in first person mode on the highest speed with other people watching is fun though, especially when you can chain barrel rolls on tracks like Downtown. Its like being inside a washing machine.
Jaxson Reyes
I am disappointed that wipeout content has been recycled so much. I already owned all three games so the Omega Collection doesn't have much value to me.
David Long
It's pretty funny to think they're still using the same 12 and 14 years old tracks from Wipeout Pure and Pulse
Nathaniel Hill
I can only play this game in VR, without it I'm shit at judging distance to the wall in corners.
Benjamin Nguyen
When the fuck are they adding DLCs with all the other tracks in the series???
"Omega Collection" My ass, even though it's literally a remake of a remake of a remake, it still has less than half the tracks of Pure, less than half the tracks of Pulse, and NONE of those of W1, 2, 3 or Fusion.
I fucking want shit like Silverstream, Devilia and Paris Hair in HD!!!
Camden Ramirez
it's not funny it's disappointing
Matthew Jackson
Guess you'll have to wait for WipEOut 4.
Thomas Hall
If I ever have to race on Chenghou Project again I'm going to very politely call Sony on the phone and demand that they close the Playstation division down forever. I hated that track on the PSP and I still fucking hate it now.
Isaiah Thomas
Well, at least Ballistic NG got made. F-Zero fans should get together like that too, only way there will be a new game is if they make it themselves
Chase Cook
Correction;
"It didn't sell well by American standards"
Of course it didn't. Europe has a multitude of cultures and languages with a nuanced appreciation of art formd through philosophies and histories that separates it heavily from the US.
To justify shutting down studios that employ artists and VFX teams because they don't suck up to the economic mindset of a conglomerate giant like America is extremely unfair.

Europe is a PC dominated market, no console company really gives a fuck about European habits.
It sold poorly by everyone's standards and millionaire/billionaire executives don't give a care.
Sony was developing some of the best racers with Motorstorm, WipeOut, ModNation, GT. Obviously the gamble to build reputation on racing games ultimately failed. GT is the only brand they have left and it's the only one that makes a dent in European markets, so for a continent that supposedly "appreciates art" they sure like a game where the focus is on boring realism and praising real-life car brands as they jerk off to a Tesla or BMW.
Luis Smith
wow user, what a lazy excuse.

how long would i have to play for before i can get this good?
Luis Reed
Until a new F-Zero gets made this is the best alternative
Zachary Ward
wipeout and fzero are complementary
John Hughes
If you can beat one of the A+ challenges in 2048 on gold then you've got the required amount of mechanical skill to get as good as that. You need to polish the fuck out of your racing lines in time trial mode and pick a ship and stick with it then.
Carson Stewart
wipeout plays nothing like f-zero
David Rivera
thanks user
what ship is he using in that video? it looks really cool but i don't think i've unlocked it yet
Julian Collins
AG-Systems speed.
You probably have unlocked it, that guy's using the mirror-finish livery you get for beating the game.
Jonathan Foster
Of course!
I used to play this game on my PSP when i was Younger, i aways loved this game
Logan Turner
Compared to what? Fucking Super Mario Bros.? It's about the closest analogue we have.
Nathan Parker
There are plenty of great futuristic racing games and they all have pretty different handling models. Fast RMX, Redout, Star Wars Ep 1 Racer are other great examples for starters. The fact is that none of them handle very similarly to each other at all. Hell nu-wipeout doesn't even feel much like ps1 wipeout.
David Garcia
No it isn't. Mario Kart would be the better fit. Wipeout uses items on shortcourses with constant turns. Just like Mario Kart.
Adam Turner
It's ok, gets boring pretty quickly
Easton Clark
Hot tips: Turn the motion blur off on PS4 Pro for native 4k. Crank your HDR contrast to maximum before playing Zone mode.
Kevin Barnes
is there any way to turn off the fucking bloom?

Ryan Baker
Wipeout tracks were always very narrow compared to AG racers, if anything tons of tracks in Omega are actually wider than anything you'd find in the classics. You probably remember the low speed classes only instead of rapier/phantom stuff
Camden Bell
That final barrel roll into the turn. He landed it, holyshit!
Nathaniel White
>using turbos to force a take off so you can barrel roll off it
Holy shit
Mason Gray
The Sol drop is fucking amazing, makes me lose my footing and drop every time.
Carter King
Yes but only on PS4
Please, PC now
Adam Rogers
You HAVE gotten all gold medals on hard mode, right Yea Forums?
Jaxon Myers
It's like the sole time i have ever gotten nauseous in VR, pretty crazy
Samuel Lopez
I only played wipeout fusion, which apparently wasn't well liked, but I really enjoyed the open tracks. They were definitely longer than in HD.
Aaron Gonzalez
>Redout
>Pacer/Formula Fusion
>BallisticNG
NONE of them compare to wipeout sadley, I hope one day to get the pc vr version
Carson Parker
Ballistic is literally wipeout though
Andrew Long
Imagine owning a Piss4 but not the best game for it
Jaxson Sanders
I thought Redout was great actually.
Asher Murphy
Ballistic is a little bit better than Wipeout
Joseph Torres
>the best game on ps4 is a vita port
lol?
Levi Mitchell
Redout does its own thing, I dont like it much but its not like Formula Fusion which is just a mediocre Wipeout. BallisticNG is near perfect though, better than actual Wipeout games.
Joshua Edwards
Fusion is the odd one in the series. Track design and handling are so unlike anything else in the series that I'd sooner compare it to Podracer.
Robert Brooks
Redout isn't so much anti-grav racing than steering a speeding bullet. As much as I love Wipeout, I think I enjoy Redout more.
Andrew Lee
>Until a new F-Zero gets made
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
Jace Phillips
Not a fan of most of the tracks but it was a phenomenal moment for the controls to start making sense on my 3rd race, only for "invaders must die" to kick in full blast.
Henry Bailey
How the fuck do I unlock ships in 2048?
Also is it just me or is the ship selection in 2048 really limited compared to hd?
(Never played before omega)
Hunter Ortiz
It's fine, it's a collection but it updates all of them to use the newest engine and physics and stuff, so it's kind of awkward if you played the older games and were used to their quirks. Not exactly a bad thing though.
