![]() ![]() Those hoping for ranked matchmaking are also in luck, and you rank up as you progress through the online multiplayer. The online portion of the game is fairly comprehensive, and you can make plenty of changes to the set-up of online races, and form your own lobby using all of the collection’s 26 tracks. Using the vastly superior DualShock 4 also makes a big difference here, and though you may know these tracks, you’ve never been given the best tools with which to tame the until now. Moving from the cramped controls and ditching the short analogue sticks of Sony’s under-supported handheld is transformative, and the tracks gain a new sense of scale and space from being displayed on a larger screen. We’ve played much of HD and Fury before – three times by my count – but really, it’s all about getting your hands on 2048, and playing it shorn of the PS Vita’s constraints. HD and Fury feel much tighter than 2048, and though it makes sense given that they’re different games set in different eras, it can be tough to transition between the two – at least for the first lap or two. Perhaps more unsettling for players will be the difference in handling between the Vita game title and those from the PS3. As the more modern release, it’s no surprise that 2048 looks the more attractive, and thanks to the earlier setting its track design is much more characterful. There is a clear visual difference between the 2048 portion of the game and HD and Fury, though it’s much less jarring if you’re set on a particular version rather than jumping back and forth. Sure, it’s a shame we’re not getting a brand new Wipeout that really pushes the PS4’s capabilities, but this isn’t a bad substitute by any stretch. The only way to play 2048 on a TV screen before now was with a hacked PSTV, and it’s safe to say that this is much less faff and looks much more impressive. On top of that, you get lovely HDR as wel, and the series’ trademark 60fps action is delivered more or less flawlessly, with only the odd stutter during the pre-race passover. If you’ve got the 4K HDR TV to suit, Wipeout Omega Collection will display at either a native 4K if you turn the motion blur effect off or a checkboarded 2160p with it enabled. That doesn’t seem to matter much when they’re hurtling by at eye-bleeding speeds on a 55” 4K TV. While these tracks have never looked better, there’s the possibility that you’ve been racing around them for the best part of twelve years. The PS Vita’s Wipeout 2048 is joined by Wipeout HD and Fury, which also appeared as DLC for the handheld title, having originated on the PS3, and which were themselves HD versions of the PSP’s Wipeout Pulse and Pure. Without a dedicated studio to create a new Wipeout game though, PS4 owners will have to make do with up-rezzed versions of the last few titles. ![]()
