I really wish XDev could collaborate with some of the old blood at Firesprite to add an expansion similar to Fury, an "Omega" expansion if you will. Sony has collaborated with the folks at Firesprite before.

Who knows what the future holds; we can dream!
Would be cool if they could improve on the photomode a bit like display a
realtime defocus and trying to display the bounds of the DOF to better adjust
for what will be in focus and what not before rendering a high quality one.
Similar to
where the red and blue lines "bound" the DOF and with the green one in focus.

This is finally available on Bestbuy, for any other GCU users.

The Xdev Twitter account keeps asking people to figure it out themselves basically, but it's confirmed to be unavailable in the US.

I love thumper but that is a rhythm game through and through rather than having anything to do with racing. Doesn't mean people shouldn't get up on it but it doesn't have very much to do with wipeout.
Ah yes I always forget PS3 had a few photo mode enabled games but nothing at the OS level so you have to manually export games to the desktop. motor storm pacific rift
GT5 and wipeout HD were the games I recall getting some heavy useage on my system.How is it possible that Xdev themeselves don't know much about it and how are people supposed to find it out? Basically I can't pre-order the game right now because I want the steelbook edition. I haven't seen any UK/EU store offering one yet.

There are indeed some nice deals for UK/EU but they don't mention anything about steelbook. Only AUS retailers.

So excited for this. Tried Redout demo on PC and RMX on Switch and they just didn't do anything for me.
Guess it's time to post "WipEout through the ages" again.

WipEout the Teams is also a great watch.

Yep, the intro's one is super exhilarating
The 2048 intro is the best but 2097 is the most quintessentially Wipeout to me, in terms of the aesthetic etc.
I used to watch that intro almost every time I played the game - which was a lot - and used to envisage how amazing the game would be once it looked as good as that intro movie. Now we are hilariously past that.

You're right, it's not a racer, and they are different games. I am talking about the feelings it gives you and the skills required. I get into a total zen with Thumper in a way I haven't done since WipEout. And it's thrilling and stylish in the way WipEout is.

This, I could not agree with more
As I recall, it was actually a pretty impressive accomplishment on the Saturn - something about it doing true transparencies which was a big deal for the Saturn at the time. Still not up to the PS version, but it was great to have it there.
I dunno about the first one, but 2097 is clunky and slow, and it has no Firestarter.
The initial announcement describing the content & features didn't mentioned HD and Fury campaigns being included (whereas explicitly saying 2048 campaign being).
I found it strange because HD and Fury DLCs for WipEout2048 on Vita included both campaign.
Do we know if that situation has changed, or does the "collection" only have the content (tracks, ships and modes).

I had no idea 2097 was on the Saturn. Wow.

Dont think the Saturn version had transparency effects, i think it used dithering for the shield effect. I think the only improvement the Saturn version had was the handling of the ships, they handled more like Wipeout 2097
Yeah, it was released as Wipeout XL on PC/Saturn.

Which german retailer sells the steelbook edition? Just wanna be sure to preorder

Agreed. I think the campaign structure is really bad generally.
Couldn't find it yet either...

I thought i was the only one (since most people seem to love the racebox thing). You can spend something nuts like 20 hours with the game and still have to do venom events! Honestly I think one speed class like F-Zero or just a final extra one unlocked at the very end would be better for everyone. I feel most players (not even first timers, i still do it!) overcompensate on the slower speeds, slamming into walls which gives the wrong impression of the game's difficulty. A lot like how I am with rhythm games too.

Yeah, Saturn had horrible cross hatching instead of those lovely PS transparencies.
This. Please. With the physics exactly the same, added four player split screen, modern graphics but with that 90s flavour... Oh my
I would die.
I was so excited when I unlocked the
Wipeout 2097 HUD

When we got GR remaster it was followed by GR2 - so I have hope that this collection is a way to rebuild brand a bit before making new part.

But who would develop the Wipeout sequel since the original devs are gone

Yeah this is the big question for the franchise moving forward. At first, it seemed like Firesprite would do it, but they've since moved on to their new fps horror IP The Persistence so as a studio they're trying to do something fresh and simply not be know as former Studio Liverpool folks.
It seems like folks at Sony are passionate about the property, but the question is who would be bean suited to assemble and build a new entry from scratch. I wonder if it would be possible to use the canned Wipeout PS4 game as a launching pad of sorts since some amount of prelim work was done on that.

What about Sumo Digital, they did a great job with Outrun?

Sumo would be ace since I personally loved the Sega arcade racers they made a few years ago. Just don't know if it may be feasible at the moment since they have four projects going on. But that is a damn fine suggestion though.

They also worked on Forza 6, Horizon 2 & 3 or Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing games, and with Sony in different LBP titles. Now that Snake Pass is out they only have Crackdown 3 and Dead Island 2 in the works.
Let's hope after that they have free people to work in a new Wipeout, but I smell they are also working in Forza 7. They would be a great choice.
Sumo need to work on an arcade racing franchise again. They knocked it out of the park with Outrun 2/C2C and Transformed.
