Wipeout: Omega Collection Reviews
A very welcome return for Sony's classic future racer, and while it doesn't represent anything new it does show the WipEout series at its very best.
Once you taste that first sweet gold medal, it's hard to put down the controller knowing the next one is right around the corner.
The first WipEout title launched back in September of 1995 on the PlayStation One, and with the launches of all the PlayStation Consoles and handhelds over the years a new version of WipEout has made it to every single one of them. There is now a total of 10 WipEout games with some being more memorable than others. WipEout Omega Collection is the culmination of all the previous iterations and we are having an absolute blast with it. if you own a PS4 you need this on your hard drive ASAP.
WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic update that runs as smooth as a supersonic hovercraft.
Shiny and in 4K glory, this is the best WipEout has ever looked.
Wipeout Omega Collection takes three forgotten titles to the attention of the vast PS4 public, adding 4K resolution, HDR support and steady 60 fps. Maybe this won't be enough for players that have already played Pure, Pulse and 2048, but all the rest of the racing game lovers out there should consider buying it.

WipeOut at its best has always been gorgeous on the eyes and smooth on the ears with a soundtrack that matches the beat of the game. WipEout: Omega Collection is that sensation wrapped up in striking 4K visuals that helps define it as the definitive WipEout experience.
It's brilliant to see WipEout back. It looked great back in the day, but thanks to the power of PS4 it now looks incredible, and captures with style the adrenaline-pumping action that we so fondly remember.
All told, this is a content-rich collection, one that is especially worth investing in for WipEout newcomers. Longtime players might feel fatigue from tracks that have seen repeated use over the years, but even then, I'd argue the audio and visual polish present in Omega Collection makes it worthwhile -- with or without a 4K-ready setup. The dream of the '90s is alive at PlayStation.
The WipEout series is a shining example of how to keep racing exciting with many variations and an awesome visual style.
The Omega Collection, for the most part, focuses on what the series had to offer in the generation prior to the PlayStation 4, and shows us just how much these titles hold up on new hardware.
WipEout Omega Collection is a must-buy if you have any love or nostalgia at all for the series, as it looks fantastic, plays extremely smoothly and has enough content to keep you busy for months.
It’s a celebration of speed, combat, beauty, electronic music, incredible track design and so much more, and it’s all been wrapped up in one Omega 4K and 60 fps package for you to enjoy. The PlayStation 4 now finally feels complete.
Wipeout: Omega Collection is a great reminder that Wipeout series is still strong and unbelievably fun to play. Even after two decades.

There are a couple of nitpicks too many against Wipeout Omega Collection from being a flawless package, but the sheer hours of racing that you'll get from the game, how gorgeous it looks and how well the mechanics hold up earn it an easy and complete recommendation anyways.
Thanks to its stunning visuals, electrifying soundtrack and exhilarating and addictive gameplay, the Wipeout Omega Collection is one of the best racing titles this generation
The thing that sets Wipeout apart from racing games of today is that it doesn't take itself seriously during a time where some racing games are beginning to do so more regularly. Wipeout is silly, it always has been, but that's the beauty of this gravity-defying joyride. Every time Sony releases their latest console, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new Wipeout game to accompany it. Although this time it's taken a while for this iconic racer to get an update to next gen, WipEout: Omega Collection has been worth the wait.
It does not matter that it's a remaster. It's important that WipEout comes back. And it does it in an extremely successful way, offering a plethora of fun at an attractive price. Futuristic racing has come back and show the competition how to rule.
