WIPEOUT OMEGA COLLECTION
For the first of two racing games featured this month, WipEout Omega Collection is the assemblage of three titles in the WipEout sci-fi racing series. These include WipEout HD first released in 2008, WipEout HD Fury an expansion for the first game released in 2009, and WipEout 2048 from 2012. These three are the most recent releases in the WipEout series, with seven others dating all the way back to 1995.
The Omega Collection takes these titles and enhances them for both the PS4 and PS4 Pro. This remaster improves the frame-rate to 60 FPS, fixes minor technical aspects, remasters sounds, and offers dynamic 4K with HDR support on PS4 Pro.
Each game has its own career mode, with split-screen local multiplayer and online races with up to 12 others in tournaments, single races, time trials, or WipEout’s speical zone mode. In zone mode, one player controls a ship incapable of slowing down, with speed increasing every ten seconds. The goal is to last as long as possible without destroying your ship, with this getting exceedingly harder as the speed increases.
The WipEout Omega Collection is a PS4 exclusive, and released on June 7.
