Wipeout: Omega Collection Reviews
It’s a celebration of speed, combat, beauty, electronic music, incredible track design and so much more, and it’s all been wrapped up in one Omega 4K and 60 fps package for you to enjoy. The PlayStation 4 now finally feels complete.
WipEout Omega Collection is a must-buy if you have any love or nostalgia at all for the series, as it looks fantastic, plays extremely smoothly and has enough content to keep you busy for months.
The Omega Collection, for the most part, focuses on what the series had to offer in the generation prior to the PlayStation 4, and shows us just how much these titles hold up on new hardware.
The first WipEout title launched back in September of 1995 on the PlayStation One, and with the launches of all the PlayStation Consoles and handhelds over the years a new version of WipEout has made it to every single one of them. There is now a total of 10 WipEout games with some being more memorable than others. WipEout Omega Collection is the culmination of all the previous iterations and we are having an absolute blast with it. if you own a PS4 you need this on your hard drive ASAP.
This isn’t a game everybody would appreciate, especially those who aren’t racing game fans, even I myself, wasn’t really a fan of the franchise before but after spending hours of playing the game, I got to see the game’s imperfections but I was just happy that I got to play the franchise again and seeing all the slick visual and gameplay improvisions, with or without the 4k setup, it sure made my experience worthwhile.
Whether you want to play this game with mates, or just pump up the jams and solo the campaign at your own pace, Wipeout is beyond fun for both fans of the franchise and newcomers alike. If you pick up one racing game over the next few months make it this one, there will be no regrets I can assure you.
The definitive 4K experience and hands down the best racer.
Wipeout Omega Collection is a great entry point if you've never played through a game in the franchise before. Wipeout 2048 is the true standout from the collection, with HD and Fury definitely showing a bit of their age. It's sad that nothing new was included in this package, as fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting what's coming next. However, those looking for a true Wipeout experience need look no further. While not as impressive as a brand new title would be using all of today's technology, this is still a great collection to own nonetheless.
Was für eine Rückkehr! Das zeitlose Konzept sowie die äußerst gute Arbeit katapultieren WipEout zurück in die Spielerherzen. Wer auf schnelle und erbarmungslose Action steht, ist hier bestens bedient.

If you're a veteran airship racer then you'll have no qualms with this collection. It's decently priced, it looks bloody amazing, and it plays like a dream. If you're a newbie coming in fresh as a daisy, take the time to learn WipEout's intricacies and style before you resign it to the bin. What you're getting is effectively three great games at one great price. They're a little old, and at times their clunky, but it's a decent release no less.
Weiterführend muss jedoch gesagt werden, dass sich die kleinen technischen Schwierigkeiten komplett auf den Online-Modus beschränken und das Spiel sonst einwandfrei läuft. Jedoch vermisste ich einen gewissen Charakter während meiner Zeit in den Kampagnen, denn obwohl die Events großteils kurzweiligen Spaß bieten und im Verlauf auch fordern, fehlte mir persönlich die Langzeitmotivation. Zwar erwarte ich bei so einem Spiel nicht unbedingt einen Story-Modus, aber ein wenig Hintergrund hätte auf jeden Fall geholfen. So fühlte sich das ganze etwas zu mechanisch und gefühlslos an. Generell ist die Omega Collection jedoch ein gelungenes Comeback von Wipeout. An dieser Stelle darf auch gehofft werden, dass das Spiel Sonys erwartete Verkaufszahlen erfüllt und wir womöglich in absehbarer Zukunft einen "echten" neuen Ableger der Wipeout-Serie bekommen.

wipEout remains the most renowned of futuristic racers, delivering AAA-tier visuals and similar gameplay. Yet time will tell how much pedigree alone will suffice in the stead of innovation.
PlayStation fans will love it, racing fans will love it, gamers will love it
WipEout Omega Collection is a turbo boost down memory lane for long time fans in which we get to play 3 of the best games in the series in their best possible light.
The WipEout series is a shining example of how to keep racing exciting with many variations and an awesome visual style.
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.
A fast and exciting racer with a style of its own, and a great release even if the content isn't new.

Wipeout: Omega Collection is a great reminder that Wipeout series is still strong and unbelievably fun to play. Even after two decades.

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.

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.
