Getting that one too, for sure.
It's just like the 90s except everything not games sucks!
I just played through the first two cells of the HD section. That's the fantastic racer I remember! I got gold on all of them except for one of the last races in the Warped cell (silver isn't so bad!). I'll always have trouble on certain corners, not slowing down in time and flat out ramming head-on into them, though with some practice I'm sure it won't be as damaging, haha.
It looks insanely good, I'm playing on the Pro in 1080p and it looks crazy! That music, though... so perfect.

So hyped for this, HD was a revelation back on the PS3, I think it was my first digital game there.

That thread title lmao
never been that big of a Wipeout guy but I've dabbled in it since Fusion on the PS2, and later with the PSP/PS3 games. I like futuristic racers but I never got good at Wipeout like I did with F-Zero.
had just enough sitting in my PSN wallet to buy this, so why not. Definitely feel like a racing game right about now. Maybe this time it'll really click with me, who knows!

Be patient with yourself. Wipeout doesn't have much in the way of training wheels, so get a feel for it on the lower difficulty levels first, where the time requirements for passing are more forgiving. This is one of those old school games where you feel like you've hit a brick wall for a while and then, one day, it unexpectedly all comes together, and you're taking turns properly, boosting when you want to and the elegance of the came makes itself known, but it can be a brutal road to that.

Great OT. Going to pick this up on my lunch break tomorrow. I've been playing a bit of Pure over the weekend to get in the zone (ha!) and I can't wait.
Wait, did the Cool Beans team close down or are you referring to Studio Liverpool?
Amped to play the 2048 tracks in glorious 60fps. It just felt a bit off on the Vita at 30fps, shame as they were great tracks.
Love the track listing in the OP. I bought and played Pure, HD Fury and 2048, but honestly I've forgotten the PSP one - it was HD Fury and 2048 that I loved.
So does anyone have a list of which tracks in HD Fury are from which PSP game? Were the PSP games even any good?
I was torn on picking this up as I've played the old ones to death but at only 35 euros I think that's low enough to make it a must purchase. The idea of seeing that super-clean art style in 4k on my PS4 Pro doesn't hurt - HD Fury was fucking drop-dead gorgeous for it's time.

It is Wipeout on home console.
It is remaster of older games.
Are you serious with this concern?

This is great to hear, glad you are enjoying it. With comments like this and the reviews I simply had to put in my pre-order. Can't wait to dig into it!

If there's any mid-race dynamic res changes, I can honestly say I haven't noticed them viewing normally on my 4K TV. Super solid frame rate and no tearing.
However, with motion blur enabled you get sharp native 4K with no, or barely effective anti-aliasing. With motion blur disabled, you get native 4K with a very strong helping of MSAA/EQAA.
Playing both ways, I've found I greatly prefer the AA'd image with motion blur off.

Still mad about no VR support. Zone mode in VR would be amazing.
Due to this grievous omission, I'm holding off on buying WOC.

I get where you're coming from, but I think it's fair to say that you're guaranteed to never see another Wipeout, let alone a VR one, if this doesn't do too hot. If you're interested in what's there, it's a good buy.

Didn't say I'm not buying it. Will eventually get it.
However, after having played F-Zero GX and WipeOut Fusion or whatever it was called in VR via emulator, I NEED TO EXPERIENCE ZONE MODE LIKE THIS.

I think this game would make me vomit in VR....However I'd still like to try it out, but not for serious piloting sessions....
Ah yes, I understand why SL was closed down but it seemed like they were set up to fail a bit with a digital only Wipeout at the time followed by the Vita release. They needed a bombastic release like this to hype people up and it didn't happen.
Hopefully this does well and the series gets handed over to a good developer, or at least this game gets more support down the line (However likely or unlikely that may be).

Click through the track names and it lists which PSP game it was updated from:
http://wipeout.wikia.com/wiki/Wipeout_HD#Tracks
The PSP games looked fantastic for the portable hardware but 30fps with dips for most of the tracks, nub analog control and longer loadtimes limited the playability compared to WipEout HD.
Followed! Thanks - are there any other definitive playlists out there?
Sorry, that bit can be a bit confusing and maybe you thought that Omega collection has a brand new campaign for Fury; I just meant that Fury adds an additional campaign different from the one in Wipeout HD
Yep I forgot to include that picture, just added it. Thanks!

Dude... Literally every track in HD Fury was from the PSP games (Pure and Pulse). The PSP games were awesome.

We could have had Clinton back but people voted NO! so we got a defective clone of Ronald Reagan instead. So now the 80s AND 90s are back simultaneously!

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Well I got the Game pre order because someone said GAME posted that the steelbooks would come with the classic sleeve too and ShopTo has never had stock unless you preordered the steelbook beforehand.
I'm just hoping that it just means you can't order it now and all preorders are atleast steelbooks.
Especially considering everywhere else is cheaper.
I have have them for false advertising if I don't get a steelbook Wednesday lol.

No problem, just my wishful thinking getting the better of me.
Any more impressions from people with early copies or you guys too busy setting track times for us to beat?
Nice work, followed.
So hyped for this, gotta wait that extra day though. The next 25 hours are going to drag in so badly.
Dynamic resolution. The game aims to render at native 3840x2160, but the resolution will drop at times in order to maintain the 60fps framerate.
Wipeout HD/Fury on PS3 did the same thing but it was aiming for 1920x1080 instead of 3840x2160.

Digital pre-order done. HD Fury was one of my favorite games on the PS3 and tbh it still looked great when I played it earlier this year. Not expecting a big visual leap but I'm stoked for the tracks from 2047 and to finally maybe grasp the Phantom class.

I bought 2048 and the dlc so not much new content for me here other than the soundtrack but I haven't really played anything that's showed what my 4k tv can do yet and if this means there's more than a 0.1 percent chance of an original installment it's my duty to get this.
