Split screen multiplayer works and looks just as flawlessly as playing solo, and it’s fantastic to see more locally playable games on modern consoles. Online, the game performs just as flawlessly as it looks, and I found matches fairly easily and stayed in them with minimum issues. "If I had to pick out something that seemed lacking about Omega, I would have to say I was disappointed about the omission of Playstation VR support." Post processing effects like added shadows and completely new global illumination give even Wipeout HD tracks a completely new lease on life. While there are still a very few examples of strangely simple geometry on background pieces, particularly on 2048 tracks, the updates they did especially with points you’ll see during a race goes beyond a simple level of detail bump.
The textures from the Vita have all been completely redone, and given bump mapping effects to feel in line with modern console standards. Omega hits a rock solid, true 4K at 60FPS, regardless of what’s going on, even in multiplayer. I won’t fault the work that they did pour into the ports to say they should have come up with a more universal UI, because the conversion they put into the visual department is second to none. The UI is the single part of the experience that was even a little jarring, as HD and Fury use a different one from the far cleaner looking 2048 and they each place critical information in different places on the screen, such as ship health or your current weapon. The controls and handling work nearly one to one, especially with vehicles that cross over, making darting back and forth between games if a certain event isn’t working out for you super easy. That’s not to say that there are no differences between the two styles, that would have been unavoidable. " Omega hits a rock solid, true 4K at 60FPS, regardless of what’s going on, even in multiplayer." While both ask you to progress in slightly different ways, such as earning EXP and following a career path in 2048 or earning enough gold medals to advance in HD, Smartly sticking to the two immediately previous incarnations of the series means that they largely play identically, and the package is more cohesive than any compilation before as a result. If you’re the gamer who likes to get a lot of gameplay content per dollar, the value here can’t be overstated. All three titles are well known for having a lot to do within each, on top of mastering its systems and multiplayer racing. Omega finally frees 2048 from the confines of the long dead Playstation Vita, and packages it together with the complete Wipeout HD and its Fury expansion all within a singular universal front end menu. Let’s be real, nobody is going to look for that. I was forced to intuit some of the stranger events such as Zones, which asked me to maintain an automatically accelerating vehicle as it continually sped up for as long as I could, or dive into the digital manual. Most of the modes are self explanatory and universal, some are game specific but a universal factor is that they aren’t explained within the game. The game slowly asks you to master the distinct maneuvering through a wide variety of events, from straight races, to time trials and speed laps and combat centric brawls. " Omega finally frees 2048 from the confines of the long dead Playstation Vita, and packages it together with the complete Wipeout HD and its Fury expansion all within a singular universal front end menu." You don’t so much drive your vehicle as gently aim it around the twisting, sometimes sideways or upside down tracks, ricocheting like a pinball against a wall and having to maintain your vehicle integrity. It’s a very different feeling from something like a Forza or a Mario Kart, as Wipeout’s vehicles hover just above the ground and don’t play by your petty physics. I couldn’t blame anyone for being new to anti-gravity racing, since the two major names in the genre have been long dormant. The end result of that effort is a fantastic introduction to the series, and the single best showcase I’ve seen for PS4 Pro. Omega is hardly a cohesive collection of the entire history of the series, rather collecting the best of modern wipeout and giving it one hell of a spit shine. Studio Liverpool may be long gone by now, but thankfully their legacy has officially outlived them with Wipeout Omega Collection.
