I see this game getting consistently rated the highest among the other ones in the franchise, and I cannot figure out why.
It has by far the least amount of content (except for the very first one), while not faring particularly better than others in any particular area.
I see no reason to play this when Omega C., Pulse, Pure, and even W3 all have basically the same (or even better) quality of gameplay, but with vastly more content and better graphics.

    Omega Collection only has VR going for it, the music selection for it is not that good and the vehicle engine sounds are bad, 2048 and HD had way better sound design.

    Wipeout 2097 was the entrypoint into the wipeout series for 90% of brit boys who have been into wipeout since the PSX days
    They rate it the highest because it was their first one
    Which is respectable

      Not even that, it was on one of the demos
      That demo alone probably got alot of kids into the prodigy as well.

      Run Wipeout HD Fury in RPCS3 and Wipeout 2048 in Vita3K (just make sure to use Vulkan instead of OpenGL). You can get 60 fps with both easily (the Vita game needs a simple hex patch).

          970 is fine. It's your CPU that counts. If not, you can still try Vita3K, Wipeout 2048 has HD and Fury as DLCs, just make sure to also install the update files for the game.

      Go get BallisticNG, people have modded in every single wipeout craft and track into that game already so you can just remake what ever wiepout game you want yourself in it. It even has all three physic systems already built into the game.

        wtf pls tell me more about it
        i thought it was just the old style of wipeout and not the new one like hd and vita
        if its on workshop only then i dont care cause im a pirate at heart
        is there also the tracks fron the vita ones cause vita3k is still not perfect with framepacing and missing lightning

          The game and the dlcs are dirt cheap even when they're not on sale, and most of the mods are in the workshop but I think you can download most of them int he offical discord channel.

    I'm literally craving for some next-gen AG racing action, and I don't know what to do:
    BallisticNG looks perfect for what it's trying to do, but it's not next-gen.
    Wipeout Omega Collection is probably the best one overall right now, but It's just a partial remake of Pure and Pulse (both of which I already own), and I don't really care about the 2048 content.
    Pacer interested me because it was made by ex-Wipeout developers, but I've heard bad things about its gameplay.
    So, right now I'm set for RedOut and RedOut 2, but I'm scared that the gameplay might be too different from Wipeout... isn't there a playable demo for PS5 or Switch?

      Redout is overrated garbage

      Pacer plays essentially the same as Wipeout HD/Omega but has a moronic upgrade system

          Are you moronic? Never mind the fact that PS2 games kick ass, and still kick ass, but Ballistic is clearly trying to replicate the PS1 Wipeout aesthetics

          Why's that? Because its not smudged all over with SmegAA? Because it doesn't need two 4080tis in sli to reach silky smooth 30 fps? Because it doesn't have based raytracing FPS nuke justified by every surface being slick with oil to make shitty reflections and refractions everywhere?

    They hated him because he spoke the truth! PS1/2 wipeouts cannot compare to the raw perfection of pure and pulse

    The only bad thing about omega collection is they couldn't secure the rights to the soundtrack for hd/fury, that said Breathe is a fricking ORGASMIC song to race at 700 km/h with

        They're not entire remakes. Fury has completely new content and HD doesn't even have close to half the content in Pulse and Pure.

          If you want to be pedantic it's more like a 'greatest hits' and it was made in ps3 era before cash shops ruined all of gaming so its perfect
          Omega collection is fine too but as I mentioned earlier the music selection isn't nearly as good

            Omega collection also has a shittier version of the 2048 engine sounds added to every craft, even HD and Fury ones. Play OG HD and Fury and 2048 for decent sound.

      As a single game Omega Collection, that's for sure.
      However, the Pure+Pulse combo, with all respective DLCs included is the better choice overall.

        It is smooth and it auto centres. Think of it not unlike a steering wheel and for wipeout it is godly. Only downside is if you play a lot you will destroy your wrists.
