I'd do anything for a Wipeout Collection port to PC. Really missed these games.

il kill someone to get omega on steam

[–] nek0d3r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Literally the best title on the platform and my introduction to the Wipeout series.

2048 was the best wipeout. Omega brings it up to perfection IMO.

Vita version can't do analogue airbraking and runs at 30 fps or even lower at times.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They really need to make a Wipeout title for the VR2

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sony shut down Studio Liverpool.

Omega was the last hurrah, and though it's well made, it too was made using recycled content from previous games.

[–] helimopp@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

it broke my 12 year old heart when i found out. people made fun of me for liking 2048 becuase it was studio liverpools "death note"

i think it was an inside job

Sony doesn't want diversity anymore.

They no longer do medium titles with medium costs and medium return.

It has to be Uncharted or God of War level universally popular or they won't fund it anymore.

It's sad, and makes no sense. You need diversity in your game genres. Nintendo is making the same mistake, pushing all their franchises to be like BotW, shoving open world elements into all of their franchises whether it's needed or not.

twin what if WE (yes we) went to sony hq and lowkey just blew it up arasaka hq style. and then after we will record a video on a shitty camcorder saying "WE (yes we) blew up sony hq because they canned wipeout and then we post the video to youtube and get loads of views and ad revenue

id be so happy if they bought the omega collection to steam. id love to play it on steam deck

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You should check out BallisticNG on Steam. It even has VR support and it’s only $10 USD right now on sale https://store.steampowered.com/app/473770/BallisticNG/

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh nice. Unfortunately I don't have particularly gaming-capable PC: MS Surface Pro 9.

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Your Surface Pro actually might be able to run it. I’ve been playing on the Steam Deck and it works great. The requirements are super low spec for PC.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

But I don't have a min. spec GPU for Steam VR or PSVR2 PC link. I have plenty of Wipeout I can play on my PS5 without the VR.

[–] helimopp@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

ive had it since 2021. i only had a few hours in it until a years ago because the fanbase around the game was just toxic and were making fun of wipeout as if ballisticng would have existed without wipeout and also the devs where transphobic. i put all those aside when i got my steam deck and on a holiday to chicago i played it. its good but i havent played much since.

I bought a Vita with my own money two days after launch. I had saved up since its announcement, just to play 2048, and got the rest of the money I needed for christmas. I still remember having dad take me to the local big tech store that had a 24/7 kiosk to pick my Vita up in the middle of the night on christmas.

Gravity Rush might take the cake though as my top game on the system. 2048 is amazing, but it plays better on PS4.

Gravity Rush was truly made for the Vita. It's one of a kind, and nothing (except maybe emulating it on a SteamDeck) can replicate or improve upon the experience of playing it on the Vita.

You could literally just hit the first five main notes from the theme on a piano, and I would tear up.

Killing Studio Japan is another crime I can't forgive Sony for. I never got to properly play GR2 because by the time I got to it, they'd shut down the online services.

[–] helimopp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in my opinion, i love the psvita version of 2048 better than on ps4. when they bought the game over to the ps4 they got rid of the feel of 2048, that filter make the game look unique in my opinion instead of just some other hdr title. it has a feel, you know?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You're going to have to elaborate.

I miss the music, but most of the sounds and physics are the same in omega. And the controls and visibility are straight up better.

The giant lens flares on opponents are there in the Vita version because you can't make out opponents on the tiny screen without them. 2048 was criticized for grey tracks with grey sides since the start, because especially on the tiny screen, it made the tracks harder to see. That is a non-issue in Omega.

I tried emulating, but it still can't go past 30fps, and the airbrakes still aren't analogue. And the opponent engine flares actually OBSCURE the screen once you play the Vita version on a bigger screen.

At the level I play, 2048 on the actual Vita is unplayable to me.

I simply can't play with the level of precision I've become accoustomed to on PC and PS4.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Vita and played 2048 to very nearly 100% back in the day, but the reason I eventually gave up on 100% is that it just doesn't run and control well enough for top level play.

[–] helimopp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its hard to explain but the psvita version has a yellowish filter applied to the game that makes the game more unique in my opinion.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't say I prefer that.

The oversaturation and bloom in the Vita version also doesn't help clarity.

In that picture the Omega version has much more contrast between the craft and the track.

Omega looks damn near perfect IMO, I have screenshots from it in my wallpaper rotation (and I use one for my profile banner here on lemmy):

[–] helimopp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

yk what, both versions are good
