This game is AWESOME...except for ONE thing 

It's almost like F-Zero! Except ya know, whoever made it clearly cares about the series they've made.

In the words of the first men to ever game "Get Gud Scrub" Nah it's a valid criticism.

on PSP this game was THE SHIT

"How many hours have you put into it? Not many actually". Well, there goes this review's credibility.

for a second i was like "oh no they better not be talking trash about my baby wipeout." but as someone whos played the originals on ps3 and ps vita... yea i can see why someone would think the difficulty can be challenging. i think overall its still a fantastic port.

WipEout isn't too hard, if you're struggling you can use pilot assist, and when playing on HD / Fury you can set the skill to Novice. 2048 on the otherhand has got more trickier levels such as the A+ 10 lap races. This game is amazing.

The best thing about Wipeout is it allows you to run custom soundtracks and even adds a tunnel effect when going through tunnels and a low treble effect when catching air. In the zone game mode the tracks reacts to your music. I used to zone out and chill for hours shaving seconds off my record. I would suck a dick just have a Wipeout for PC

You guys are one of the most underrated gaming channels in RU-vid...

The wipeout games collectively from ps1 to present day are some of the best racers ever made. I'm so glad Sony have released this collection, hopefully they will make a new instalment of it sells well.

yeah wipeout is hard.. but it suposed to be hard.. it always was! go be good in the game you have to master the airbrakes and pitchcontrol, maaaan that's alot of practicing

the difficulty does spike when you go to expert.

Liam's played Wipeout Omega Collection. A lot. He likes it a lot. But did any of you guys pick it up? Do you agree? Are the difficulty spikes too much?

Some other points I would add in regards to what was said about the WipEout series: With regards to difficulty, part of the battle is making sure you're familiar with the track layout. To that end, I'd recommend using Time Trial and Speed Lap to make sure you know precisely how to take every corner on every track. It does sound like a daunting prospect, but I'm a sucker for beating myself by a gnat's breadth. You can also use Zone Mode to this effect, and also to acclimatize yourself with the blinding speeds the series is known for (since Zone Mode is basically WipEout's take on the movie Speed - your craft auto-accelerates as you race around a track. The game ends when you blow yourself up). In terms of what's changed and progressed over the series, there are two changes in mechanic between the first batch of WipEout games (WipEout 1 to WipEout Fusion) and the second batch of WipEout games (WipEout Pure to Omega Collection). Firstly, the Pit Lane has been scrapped in favour of absorbing powerups to restore shield energy. Secondly, it's now possible to perform a barrel roll (even though it's technically an aileron roll) whenever your craft is launched into the air. Attempting one uses up 15 shield energy, but if successful, you receive a small speed boost upon landing. WipEout 2048 also forgoes giant differences between manufacturer differences for having 4 variant craft - Speed variants, which have generally good speed and acceleration but lacking in firepower and shields, Fighter variants, which have tough shields and powerful weapon systems but can't handle very well, Agility variants which have phenomenal handling but are generally very slow indeed, and Prototype variants, each based on one of the aforementioned variants but with a unique twist - such as the Feisar Prototype (Speed), which has a top speed that increases the more speed pads you hit and decreases every time you're hit with a weapon. With regards to repetitive content - this is a re-master of a re-master, effectively. Pretty much all the content from WipEout HD (and the HD Fury expansion pack) is taken from WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse for the PSP (with I think one or two tracks here and there from Wip3out for the PS1), so some of the tracks have now appeared a total of 4 times in the series. And one final note about the Quake weapon - personally I wouldn't compare it to the Blue Shell, since that only targets the leader - it's a disruption-type weapon that affects a lot of people in range, so I'd say a Mario Kart weapon that provides a more apt comparison, in my view, is the Pow Block or Lightning Bolt

What is the song in the beginning before the commentary starts?

This game sure is Aweome.

What's the name of the song used in the video?

Is there a perceptible different between proper 4K and not proper 4K? If not does it matter which one you have?

Holy shit, you guys grew so fast. I remember I came here at 18k, maybe. Shows you're doing a good goddamn job.

The types of weapons you get are determined by where you are in relation to the pack. If you are way out in front, you will get more mines and bombs. If you're at the back or very far behind, you are more likely to get quakes and plasmas. You can get any weapon at any position, but the effect is noticeable.

Which campaign are you referring to? 2048 or HD/Fury? I'm liking 2048 a lot better so I'm mostly playing that. As far as the music you could always use the in built Spotify player right?

At 3:14 it reads "Dynamic 4K", yet you guys kept talking about Native 4K, or proper 4K as you put it. :thinking: If it keeps swapping the ingame resolution up and down in order to stay at 60FPS it's not really "proper 4K" now is it?

OMG I loved Wipeout Pulse growing up! I used to play it with my cousin on PSP. And I was a beast! 😆😝😁

Ok this unrelated but I'm a fairly new subscriber maybe about a month but your content is great watched all the videos from the beginning until now keep up the good work

Shall i get wipe out omega collection or crash n sane i have played them both on older console's and love them both

whats the game they talk about half way through?

does this have the repulsive sides like in 2097, for me that was one of its amazing features of the early game. if you pulled up HARD on some corners you could save your self but you lost some time. a good trade off. the issues i had with the wipeout i played briefly on the PS2 i think didn't have that and It felt clunky and not really like I was floating on magnets

Oh boo hoo, wipeout is too hard! Git gud scrub.

The term you are looking for is "native 4k" (or "native 4k resolution" if you want to be more accurate). It means that the game is rendering directly at 3840x2160 pixels (rather than, for instance, rendering to a 1440p buffer and then upscaling for the 4k display).

I picked this game up immediately! I used to be third in the world score back in the PS2 days and I have been playing WipeOut since the PS1 release. This game requires three fundamental things to master: 1) Memorize the tracks until you don't even have to think when and how to turn. It has to become second nature. 2) Memorize the speed up pods position until you are so sure that you can even anticipate where to go before they are in view. 3) Learn how to be tactical in your weapons choice and usage. If you don't do that, which makes the game a little repetitive by the way (Hey! It's a racer, what did you expect? :D ), you will have hard times. Fun times but hard! ;-)

Correct me if im wrong but isn't the HD games on ps3 one of the hardest to platinum?

I am glad you mentioned the difficulty spike as I was thinking about grabbing this, but as I am rubbish at racing games at the best of times.... Going to avoid this until it's on mega sale, thanks guys

why are you crashing so much lag?

You should really let us know when a new video is a podcast excerpt in the video title or thumbnail

Spoiler: the "ONE thing" is the best thing about the series and kinda the point of the game, being very hard to master.

theres native 4k and upscaled 4k difference is one is the entire screen rendered in 4k while upscaled is 4k being displayed in a small image and is stretched to fit the corners of the screen

Us Wipeout good in 1080p as well?

practice, practice, practice. key skills to learn are airbrake control and barrel rolling. the joy of having three campaigns to choose from though is you can always skip to the next one when the first gets too fast for you, then return to the first once you've picked up a few tricks.

The game is a lot more fluid now and you don't catch yourself on the side of the track anymore now you sort of scrape along it which feels better than coming to a dead stop like it used to, It's probably the the best antigravity racer out there up there with fzero

Came out on ps1 originally

Wipeout endgame has always been excruciatingly hard. It requires no mistakes. I can't tell you how many PS1 controllers I twisted and broke back in the day. However, as with MarioKart this game is the funnest with friends. FYI, quake disruptor is a little different than the blue shell from Mario kart in that quake disruptor hits every racer ahead of you in the race.

Favourite gaming channel by far 👍🏻 keep it up guys ✌🏻

ived been liseting to this chanel for a year now and i love them

There's a game like this on the Switch called Fast Racing Neo RMX. It's pretty tight.

I've not played wipe out since ps1 and OT had that same difficulty curve back then. From achievable to rock hard in one race.

Used to play Wipeout games all the time and yeah, the difficulty spike has always been brutal. I also used to play Gran Turismo games and enjoyed Endurance Races. But Wipeout has always been 1 game i could never fully beat. It gets quite brutal.

That throat clearing moment lol. Love you guys.

I also have just one problem I don't have money to buy games.

I remember when the first Wipeout came out. The soundtrack was so awesome.

Takes a bit of practice to learn how to handle the turns, but once you've got it, it's tons of fun! Oh also, they kind of did the cohesive package thing on Vita as well, HD and Fury DLC merging nicely into the game menus. Also, the graphics programmer in me is triggered by the "checkerboarding is a cheap trick" thing as if it's a bad thing. It's actually remarkably good at replicating the actual 4k image, also, pretty much all of what you see in a game is a "cheap trick", very little is actually accurate.

Agree with you on that, loved the first couple hours of the game but when that difficulty spike hits.. So I'd go onto the next campaign,.. Its great but you lose interest when you can't keep up with the difficulty

has anyone played the split screen? so happy a racing game with split screen has finally been released

I remember playing this game on my ps3 as a demo. mad fun

Native 4k on playstation? I had no idea it could do that

getting to the moon was the space race of 1969 but playing wipeout at 4k 60fps is the space race of 2017.

Only games on PC that 4K seems to make a difference to me are the ones that come with special HD DLC, or seem to have them built in like Witcher 3. All the others when I run in 4K they seem to be just some sort of up-scaling because I see no difference in them between 1080p and 4K on my 43" screen that I use on my PC. I also play on PS4 Pro, hooked up to same screen as my PC, and a few of it's 4K games make a difference where the rest can't tell a difference much like I feel on the games on PC. This is from my first hand experience anyways with both systems. Either way the difference really isn't worth the extra $400 I spent on PS4 Pro or the extra $500 I spent on upgrading my PC hardware.

Having played HD Fury and 2048, I'll probably be picking this up as well :3

The real problem with this game is that if you didn't preorder the digital edition or get it from Game in the UK you won't be getting the exclusive Van Über ship. I imported the UK edition to North America because of the price and exclusive slipcase. The North American edition includes the Van Über ship no matter which edition you buy. Hopefully they'll release it for free later on but I won't hold my breath.

5:10 is worrying, font used for "final lap" looks slightly like another phrase.

Wipeout 2097 was so fast that it could only be played with energy drink reflex enhancement plus the gliders had air brakes to smoooth scratch around the curves instead of rapidly being braked down whenever they slightly touch a wall. It was just pure perfection no other Wipeout could achieve. No longer being able to scratch along the walls was what I hated on all newer Wipeouts, no more air brakes to smoooooothly scratch along the walls in sharp turns (there was air brakes but they worked somehow different). But Omega will surely be a superb game and I will buy it for VR. Psygnosis should also release G-Police on the PS Pro.

I played Wipeout 2048 when it came out. I could do every race, except the last one. It felt like that game wouldn't let me win.

Hey guys, did you forget you made another video before this?

could you imagine if there was a Fast RMX and Wipeout Crossover?! or even better.. an F-Zero and Wipeout Crossover!! That'd be amazing.. it'll never happen though but one can dream ;.;

On Nintendo, they have the Fast Racing games that look very similar, and I think they're great. One thing I like about them is they DON'T have weapons. What a crazy concept! A Racing game that is just racing and not combat and/or randomly getting screwed. They are very hard though.

All wipeout events are quite easy on the hardest difficulty. all you have to do is practise the stage without enemies and after like 15-30min after you hit every speed pad and don't hit any walls, go to the event and you can beat it after a couple of tries..

The HD/Fury part of the game is fine, you can set AI difficulty yourself and it's quite fair. The 2048 part does have a ridiculous spike between A class and A+ class races where the AI is just much better. It shouldn't stop you from clearing the three 2048 campaigns though, but some of the special races are quite hard. Other than that, this is crazy value for the 40 EUR I paid for it, having a lot of fun.

I'm absolutely not a console gamer, last Wipeout i played was Wipeout 64 about like 17 years ago i guess, so glad this franchise survived and younger generation played it.

This game is an absolute blast!! Currently swapping between this and Nex Machina.

Gotta pick the right Rig to race.

Now thats what I call Pod Racing!

The person playing in the video is really bad. He misses all the speed arrows, doesn´t use the aerobrakes or the double-break. Tbh if you can´t play well you may as well not bother doing a review. It´s hard but at the same time it´s well-balanced and rewarding. Nobody forces you to play in hiigher difficulties. Even though you play the same 35 tracks (?) over and over thay are totally different depending on the speed you are playing on. So your review is also flawed there. I played wipeout hd back in the ps3 for more than 30 hours, and there are two more games apart from this one, so you think that 50 hours is not enough for a game at discounted price???

Now we've got WipeOut back where's my F-Zero?

PS4 pro does not run at 4k. It has a Nasty little trick called anti aliasing or whatever it's called. This makes it so the edges of objects and scenes look sharper.

Thanks for the review I haven't played wipe out since Nintendo 64 and I loved it but was sceptical about buying omega

I grew up playing F-Zero, so brutal difficulty and me are very familiar with each other

That's how the game was originally, you had to know the maps blindfolded, the original WipeOut on the PS, was brutal after the beginning lvl

I just recently bought and started playing the Nathan drake collection. I played the first one for like an hour, got stuck on something and let it just sit there. Been over a week now.

Knee-oh Ni sounds like ne in japanese. The concept of the title is that it is based on a movie script (vaguely now) that was never finished by a famous japanese film maker and the script was for a movie called Oni. O-ni flipped around = Ni-o, ie Ni-oh/Nioh

6:50 Let the beat control your body

This series has stayed good because they found a formula early on that worked. The fact that it got hard so fast was a welcome change and just a little bit of practice makes those later stages with higher speeds so much more rewarding and fun. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Nowadays I dont play games because how much these new supposed features and gameplay elements change the original game. With Wipeout being a straight remaster its a breath of fresh air, for me at least, to know what I liked and enjoyed is still there.

Redout has the exact same problem. Very similar style of game. Get half way through the campaign and then bam the difficulty skyrockets

Quake is not like the blue shell. The thing is that it has a max range and its a AoE attack.

For those who don't know, the guys behind this series (since Studio Liverpool was dropped by Sony) have been working hard on an independent game called Formula Fusion, which as far as I can tell is the same thing. The art design in all games so far, I believe, is headed by The Designer's Republic.

Hi guys keep up the good work, re paradox interactive they have put their prices up across the whole rang inc games from 2012

I played and beat all 3 of these games when they first came out on each system and I love them to death but yeah, the later races suffer from major difficulty spikes. If you want to place decently let alone first you gotta play damn near flawlessly in the later races, one fuck up and you might as well quit and try again. Wich would be fine if the difficulty curve was more gradual rather than the sudden jumps it has.

I played this game on that psp around 6 years ago

IMO Wipeout 2048 is completely different to Wipeout HD/Fury. They're 2 seperate games you'll have to master in the collection. Also the latter half of the difficulty is proper Wipeout! it's difficult! but manageable. The speed gets capped at Phantom/A+ races which is relatively slow if you spend your time mastering Zone races.

I played 2048 back on PS1 to the point where I had memorised every track, although tricky it was achievable, but have to admit when Wipeout 3 came out the challenge was substantial, bordering on punishing. A great series however

I could never get into Wipeout with F-Zero existing. Expect to hear about a new F-Zero for the Switch next year.

I can understand why the difficulty would be a complaint. As someone's who's played the original, 2097, Wip3out, and HD/Fury, the WipEout games are difficult. They are easy in regards to understanding basic mechanics, or at least one can come to grips with them and understand some basic things. But beyond that, one needs to learn various ins and outs less they be punished heavily. HD/Fury in particular with it's later end single player campagins are to put it mildly; brutal. You need to bring your S+++ Rank game unless you get your guts handed back to you. It is a fun and frustrating game. But I love it. I simply wish I had more time for it among others. I also wish Sony had put 2048 on the PS3 and maybe Studio Liverpool would still be around but then again it's the 'AAA' industry, and Studio Liverpool did the best they could under Sony's feet. I'm still not over their closing, or Evolution Studios, among others.

Did anyone ever play g-racers or g-surfer (cent remember what it's called) but it was on the PS2 and pretty similar to wipeout. Such a sick game.

The sound track is to small, i dont know why they didnt add all the songs from all 3 games

i loved wipeout XL and the soundtrack

playing on elite difficulty, having problems at like the third grid in HD

Will someone PLEASE make a neGcon controller for this game!? That was the best way to play the Wipeout games on your Playstations' 1 & 2.

Advert of this game came up as I pressed to watch this video :-)

AWEOME, eh? Typoitis strikes again! Just this one thing! Though, now that I've watched the video/excerpt, I definitely understand the bit about 4k. Really feel like 'checkerboard 4k' should be called exactly what it is. Partially upscaled to a 4k output.

You have to unlock the better ships or else you'll never beat the game. I played every wipeout on the ps, ps2 and ps3 and there's a definite pattern to these games. You never get to hold 1st place until the last lap, meaning you have to pass 3 or 4 ships each lap. Then you kinda have to grind out 1st for all the lower events to unlock the better ships. Once you get those you can move up in the difficulty. Eventually it's all pretty easy.

Woah! Wipeout looks good now!!!

No mention of the PSP versions? i had two wipeout games on the PSP.... they got me through my hour long bus ride to school in my last years of high school. i still mentally enamor the one "prototype" white craft.

I agree with the difficutly but that shouldn't put you off from playing the game. It is very accessible and a lot of fun. Just play it on a difficulty that suits you. Also, customize the soundtrack and just play "Juno Reactor". That is the theme that plays in the highway chase scene in Matrix Reloaded. Best matching soundtrack ever. And you can listen to it for hours with this game. ;)
