WipEout Omega Collection is a remaster that any fan is going to go loopy over, and there's a high possibility it'll find a new audience, too. A very slick and well-designed update.

You can regret that this is not a new WipEout for PS4. But you can't blame this compilation fr being what it is. Because it is indeed a great way to meet again with the series and its beautiful and intoxicating races, with a lot of challenges and fun offered offline and online.

The WipEout Omega Collection is a great bundle of racing games that still hold up quite well today. Returning fans of the franchise will find that the racing is as good as it ever was, but may be disappointed with the lack of extras included. Newcomers who are interested in giving the series a shot will find WipEout to be unlike any other racing game currently on the market, which is oddly refreshing for a collection of old games. All in all, the WipEout Omega Collection does its job as a remaster bundle even if it does feel sparse with bonus content.

WipeOut at its best has always been gorgeous on the eyes and smooth on the ears with a soundtrack that matches the beat of the game. WipEout: Omega Collection is that sensation wrapped up in striking 4K visuals that helps define it as the definitive WipEout experience.

The WipEout Omega Collection is all the WipEout goodness a fan could want. You've basically got the most modern rendition of a PlayStation classic in UHD and HDR, at a blistering frame rate and with an accompanying booming soundtrack. Yet for those of us who played these three games to death, this collection will serve as a painful reminder that we haven't seen new WipEout material on a home console in a long time. Regardless, given all the content on offer for a sub-$40 asking price, the WipEout Omega Collection is a no-brainer purchase for gamers of all kinds.

It does not matter that it's a remaster. It's important that WipEout comes back. And it does it in an extremely successful way, offering a plethora of fun at an attractive price. Futuristic racing has come back and show the competition how to rule.

Wipeout persists as a utopian phantom consumed with aesthetic elegance and driven to exhibit a vivid sensation of speed. The nature of this package's identity—Wipeout Omega Collection is three different but very similar experiences—may nudge against a wall of homogeneity, but it's easy to overlook when you're going too fast to focus on anything in the periphery.

It's brutally old school and will push your hand-eye to the limit, but Wipeout Omega Collection represents style, substance and value for money in equal measure. This is a glorious homecoming of a flagship PlayStation title, an unmissable synaesthetic treat for your ear and eye holes that earns its light-seizure warnings. Your Star Wars prequel memes are mistaken. THIS is pod racing.

There are a couple of nitpicks too many against Wipeout Omega Collection from being a flawless package, but the sheer hours of racing that you'll get from the game, how gorgeous it looks and how well the mechanics hold up earn it an easy and complete recommendation anyways.

The thing that sets Wipeout apart from racing games of today is that it doesn't take itself seriously during a time where some racing games are beginning to do so more regularly. Wipeout is silly, it always has been, but that's the beauty of this gravity-defying joyride. Every time Sony releases their latest console, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new Wipeout game to accompany it. Although this time it's taken a while for this iconic racer to get an update to next gen, WipEout: Omega Collection has been worth the wait.

Wipeout Omega Collection takes three forgotten titles to the attention of the vast PS4 public, adding 4K resolution, HDR support and steady 60 fps. Maybe this won't be enough for players that have already played Pure, Pulse and 2048, but all the rest of the racing game lovers out there should consider buying it.

Omega Collection is the definitive version of three games within a genre that, unfortunately, doesn't get a lot of new games. Wipeout is about controlling your ship in unbelievable speeds and, today, there are few games that can give you that thrill for speed which such excellency.

A fast and exciting racer with a style of its own, and a great release even if the content isn't new.

Could you argue that not enough of this game is new for fans of the series - especially when Sony has the VR headset now and a speedy racer would be such a great thing for it? Probably. You probably could argue that. But this is still a package of three of the best twitch racers out there, and given that we need to wait for Sony to find a new home for the WipeOut series, this will keep us going just fine in the meantime, you'd think.
