Why though? You can bet it won't be made by any of the original folks. Even in the HD and Fury instalments - decent though they were - WipEout had long since lost its soul and cutting edge feel.
I'm a massive WipEout fan, but I am well past shelling out yet again for games I already own.

Why are NA bros complain'?
I mean....NA bros used to like the Wipeout series but the Wipeout series truly prosper in Europe....the Wipeout XL/2097 days in UK is kinda crazy...LMAO.

I'm missing detailed information on this collection?
From what I read:
It's remastered HD, Fury and 2048 and on top a menu where I can choose wich game to play? So 3 seperate games, and seperate campaigns, also multiplayer?
Some beta-players here who can say a word to gameplay mechanic and the difference from game to game?
Since the track list has more than the tracks of the games combined, what is new?
I hope they added some new trophies and not the same "beat zico"-stuff again ;-)
Any other addtions?
Can't wait ...

My order has been updated to include the "classic sleeve".
It's wonderful.
That is just cruel, considering we're never going to get remasters of the games that design is taken from

Then you're in luck my friend.
I haven't participated in the beta, but one thing that's seemingly been confirmed is that air-break sensitivity can be adjusted in just in HD/FURY, but also 2048 now. Otherwise, everything seems pretty faithful. Regarding tracks, are you sure you're also counting the
'reverse' tracks? Afaik, trophies are largely taken from the original lists.

Regret going digital now. This is a thousand times better than the steelbook. It's gorgeous.
Don't agree with that at all, HD in particular absolutely nailed it.

Uhh maybe because there are still some of us that really like the Wipeout series and arent happy that we are getting shafted from the EU goodies?

Where did you get this? Where can I get this? I've pre ordered the steel book but I NEED this

Can someone give me a rundown on where I can get the steelbook/box sleeve options? Seems there's multiple preorder exclusives or something, and some things aren't available in the US?
I was referencing this exact thing, but it doesn't ship to the US?

I need to buy this game now.
Although it really makes me sad we will never get a remaster of the original and 2097.
So with HD and Fury having 12 ships each (so 24, with 2 per team) and 2048 having 20 (5 teams with 4 ships each), that means the original games had 44 ships in total.
As the product pages says 46 ships, does that mean VanUber and Tigron will be the only new Teams and they won't get fury variants?
It's still awesome that they add new stuff.

You talking about this game or the originals?, Wipeout 1 came out in the UK a good 2 -3 months before the US
The sleeve wouldn't work for a US release anyways, as the US PSX cases were just generic cd cases where as the UK cases were a original design and form factor made just for the PAL PSX market and quite iconic
So let me make sure I'm understanding all this correctly.
EU has:
and NA has:
Is that about right? I've already preordered both the NA digital PSN release and the EU steelbook, so I should have all the themes covered, but it seems I won't be getting the artbook or the sleeve. Does that sum it up? I really can't justify ordering a third copy of this game just for the sleeve, but... I mean... come on Sony, have a heart.
EU has:
- Steelbook
- Cardboard(?) sleeve for standard edition
- Digital art book with PSN preorder

HD Fury is the best the series' been since 2097. And I've played all of them at release.
What were you going to get previously... the steelbook? I have a steelbook on preorder, I wonder if mine will change to that classic one too.My order has been updated to include the "classic sleeve".

This one. I didn't know that about the first one, as I bought it after 2097. Given the history, it's even more perplexing that the Omega Collection will be released a day later in Europe. It's an annoying trend, especially with a franchise that's so deeply routed in Europe.
OfTheOverflow

I know it's more just the principle, but a single day really isn't that big of a deal.
Melchiah

Yeah, it's more about a principle. What makes it more annoying is that during the past years most games were released simultaneously on both regions, but now things have seemingly reverted back to how they were, with games like Horizon and Mass Effect being released later in Europe. I actually passed on buying Dying Light at full price, because it was released over a month later here.
The later releases also apply to DLCs on PSN store. To my recollection, the EU store used to be updated on tuesdays on the PS3, so we actually got them a day earlier than now. It would be enough, if at least the games made in Europe would be released earlier here than in the US, instead of most games being released there earlier.
ShopTo have confirmed that the classic sleeve will be added to Steelbook edition preorders.
I just switched my preorder to them as they seem to be the only confirmed retailer at the moment to include all physical bonuses (steelbook, classic sleeve, 4x themes).
Amazon is cheaper for the steelbook but I can't find any mention of whether they include the classic sleeve and themes.
Edit: Just noticed the steelbook edition is showing sold out on ShopTo - must only be recent as I was able to order a few hours ago. Hopefully they get some more stock in.

God damn I hope that's universal. EB Games AU had better not let me down.

Oh shit, if that's the case then I need to cancel my ozgameshop order! Will give them a call. EDIT: Don't need to do that immediately, forgot that my order there won't ship until June 😊
Give? ;P
I've tweeted at them, once last night and once this morning once ShopTo announced they'll be throwing in the sleeve, still waiting for a reply. They were pretty quick getting back to me when I asked if they were getting a steelbook (a few weeks ago) so we'll see what happens now.

Got an email from Amazon.co.uk telling me that I'd just ordered the steelbook, not the game + steelbook, and did I mean to do this because if not I should place a new order, but if that's what I want then okay.
Which is good news, I think? It means I actually CAN just buy a steelbook, and it's not just an Amazon glitch that they'll fix! Though now that ShopTo is sending out the classic sleeve as well as a steelbook, suddenly I might be okay with getting the game as well. Decisions...

EU gets something NA doesn't?
UNACCEPTABLE.
Someone is getting an email about this.
Nah, good for you EU bros. I'm ok with just getting the game.

More and more I regret my digital pre-order.
We don't even get the theme until launch, there's no reason to charge immediately.

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

I don't think we have any idea if that project was far enough along to have much in the way of assets developed. I'd love to see any though

Haha true, especially with the fact that's the PS3-era 'PlayStation 3D TV' if I'm not mistaken. Odd if true, afaik Omega Collection doesn't support 3D.

Official split-screen footage on both HD/Fury and 2048 tracks! Courtesy of Deimo5 the other thread.
I think the 2048 track they played looks really quite fantastic. I know there was reworked textures done, but it's pretty stunning just what a resolution and frame rate bump can do!

Honestly, even if all they had done was remaster 2097/XL, I'd be way more excited for it than with what we're getting. If that's an official Sony photo, they're really rubbing salt in the wound that XL is not part of the so-called Omega Collection. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely getting it, but I can't help but feel a bit bitter about the lack of the title which made Wipeout what it is.

I'm sure there was no salt in the wound rubbing intended by contrasting the first game in the series with the most recent one either way. Who wouldn't want to play Silverstream again in HD...On second thought, screw that track.
