Thing about Wipeout is that there hasn't been a completely new iteration on consoles since 2097, on the PS2, which was pretty bad. HD/Fury content is all adopted from the PSP versions of the game, which are in themselves, fine, but unambitious.
I feel that a Wipeout built from the ground up, for PS4 or PS3, would have been a lot more appealing than 2048 or HD/Fury have been.
With that said, I still prefer HD Fury to F-Zero. I like that Wipeout tracks are insanely windey, and complex. F-Zero certainly has moments of technical challenge but many of the tracks are pretty simple. When playing on Phantom, just getting around the track is a challenge on Wipeout, I find that really fun.
I also find the weapons and shield management system more interesting. There's a good deal of depth to the execution to performing barrel rolls within minute portions of airtime. Perfecting your driving line, and pitch of the ship so that you catch those moments, then executing them, there's a lot to it that most players will never appreciate.
I think you mean Wipeout Fusion and not 2097. And isn't Wipeout on Vita all-new content though? And Omega includes all of its tracks, so that's sweet.
