Just went on ShopTo and the steelbook + sleeve had changed to 'buy' instead of 'notify me'. Pressed the button and got a warning saying they're not taking any pre-orders. Refreshed the page and it worked.
Keep trying!

uh? looks in stock to me?
I've never used shopto before but going to for this - looks great.

Damn I want that PS1 styled cardboard. None of the stores in my country are offering it for pre-order (and I'm very opposed to buying from stores in other countries) so I'll have to wait and hope to get lucky for it to show up somewhere. Or will it be available for all copies of the game in the EU??
Steelbook edition is out of stock currently. The standard edition is in stock.

The steelbook's been on and off all morning. If people are desperate for it, they should keep the page open and refresh throughout.

Same. My guess is they had some people buying the Steelbook case only thinking it included a game disc. Not going to bother cancelling my bundle either.
Use PayPal.
I need to create an account and it's not letting me choose PayPal as an option to verify the account. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I feel you, though I think it would have been a pretty massive undertaking to remake 2097 versus simply remastering HD/2048, which fidelty-wise are way closer to what's expected out of a modern release.

It's much more likely that they'd do 2097 ships and tracks as Omega Collection DLC (using HD Fury engine) than a complete remake, at this point.
I'd buy that shit pronto, by the way. Would love to fly down Phenitia Park again.

At least hoping for something like this!!

I'd buy that as well. Though there was also something about the movement and collision in 2097/XL which they changed in HD.

From what I read about it some time ago, the older games used a pretty simple model for motion, anti-gravity etc (basically, hookean linear-elastic deformation), while the newer ones seem to take many more things into account, like mass, inertia etc.
It does feel different and less... obvious, in way.

I'd think it would be more of an undertaking remaking any PS1 era tracks, even the PSP one's (some of which are obviously in this Collection), because it would require a full on remake instead. Maybe somewhere down the track, but I don't see it happening for this game unfortunately.

Nah, just port the PS1/PSP tracks in exactly as low poly and low texture texture as they are and just put the modern looking vehicles on it.
I'd love that!

Just in case people dont know, the GAME exclusive tin will probably be like the Bioshock pack tin, ie: not a real game box, just a commissioned tin that comes separate (but can hold 1 disc) and not a true limited edition version of the game.
tldr, they just send you an extra tin for being daft enough to pre order at full price, its not a real special edition.

I'd love that too, would be really endearing. Kind of like how the new Wolfenstein and DOOM games have their retro levels
Unfortunately, I don't think it'd be as simple as drag-n-drop'ing the tracks; there's probably a bunch of physics problems etc. Plus to the average gamer, they mightn't be as impressed with the low-poly aesthetic.Not entirely sure what you mean; while you're right in that it isn't a different edition of the game per se, it is an official, quality, 'SteelBook®' as far as we know...

I mean you will get the standard wipeout game in the standard box, and you will also get a steel tin which is entirely separate. It's not a steelbook edition, it's a bonus, separate, tin.
Its a crap trinket to get you to pay full price, not a collectors edition version of the game.

Reading this thread it's confusing what you get with the physical edition. From what I gather the US edition is a standard PS4 case and artwork. Might just buy digital and get some themes. It's the kind of game I'm always going to want to play so digital is probably a good idea. Just not sure what bonuses come with which edition.
Yeah it's an awful policy

Uhh, okay, you seem to have a somewhat bizarre bone to pick here that I'm not entirely grasping. Most games have a steelbook 'edition', the difference here is that you aren't paying extra to get it, you're just pre-ordering. It isn't like this is a full priced game anyway, so I don't see why you're so upset. It's pretty reasonably priced and comes with a fantastic bunch of extras. I'd agree if it was something tacky, but a steelbook is great because you're already getting the disc, but now just in a better, sleaker casing.

it looks like you dont comprehend what im saying.
The Bioshock collection came with a tin. Not in a tin, with a tin, which was even shipped separately. It's possible this will be the same. I'm just giving the information, hopefully its a real steelbook, but it may not be. Honestly, being sarcastic yet you didnt understand yourself.
found some old videos related to WipEout 2048 on PlayStation Access channel:

Watched these the other day actually, they're pretty cool. I'd imagine creating a cinematic using this kind of film tech wouldn't break the bank, so it'd be cool to see more at some point. And yeah I posted about the fan project Deceit a few pages ago I think, still blown away by the amount of passion that clearly went into it.

Although as much as I love it, you could have made an image with 1995 and 2008 with a PS1 and a PS3 and it would have been largely the same thing
Yea I was gonna say it's not like it's a true PS4 wipeout
Wipeout HD was my first game outside of the bundle that I bought on PS3.
Now I have already bought 12 games for my new PS4 this month but this is totally getting bought. Looks as amazing as it shpuld do and I can't wait to play it.

Gimme 2097 ships, tracks and music as DLC. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Oh shit that's awesome! I was just saying (above I think) that they should do more live-action style promos. Amazing ad! Reminds me of the one they did for Fusion which I have framed (despite Fusion being meh):
It is; we just get it when it is released, not before. Same thing happened with the dynamic theme for LocoRoco Remastered
Also if anyone didn't see in the other thread, they're unveiling the new soundtrack on Wednesday:

The '

Uh-huh. I mean, they kinda look like one of the types of ships from No Man's Sky. Maybe they're meant to be in-universe commercial vehicles? But there's too few of them to suggest it's any kind of traffic airspace? Idk lol it just looks really weird to me.

Didn't think the themes would be available in Australia!

Of course they are, EB has offered them since preorders were up.

Any footage or info about the menu? Do you select between each game or is it all mashed up into one?
A shame Liverpool didn't do more with this franchise. One game on PS2 and a remake of portables on PS3, no proper installment even. I can settle for this though. Hope it does well enough to green light an original game.

It's separate games selected from a menu, apparently
