WipEout Omega Collection PSVR Analysis: A Zero Compromise Port?
Ойындар
Woah - this is amazing stuff! The already excellent WipEout Omega Collection comes to PlayStation VR, but on a platform with so many cutback games and compromises, does WipEout VR truly deliver a zero compromise experience?

Turn off the comfort settings then the cockpit view won't change once the race starts.

Matt Turner, I feel uncomfortable with "smooth turning" in many VR games and need to use "click turning." However, I've been pleasantly surprised that I can turn on "smooth turning" in Doom VFR and turn the blinders all the way off in Wipeout and not feel the slightest bit sick
You can turn off the blinders during cockpit view. I’m not sure why you didn’t look into the VR options before publishing this video.

@@DrPacman Comfort options were there from the beginning. I know because I had this game since it was announced it would get VR-support and I switched the settings after a few races, because of that 'claustrofobic' view. They have some tracks where you get a message and they always automaticly switch on the blinders. I don't know why they do that every time and just ask you once if you're ok with it. I hope they've updated that (haven't played it in a while now). I was surprised that with its insane speeds and such, I certainly would get nausseaus because I'm prone to it with certain type of games, I didn't get ill at all.
I don't agree too much with this analysis. A criticism was how claustrophobic the cockpit was and the need to duck to take in more view, but those are just blinders for comfort. You should go into settings and turn them off.

What an INTENSE analysis
The VR motion blinders can be removed BTW as well as adding cockpit tilt, all makes it even more like being there! :D
Man my head start banging to the soundtrack in the cockpit and I was in nirvana. Never even played a Wipeouts.
Seriously this is one of the most amazing gaming experiences I ever had. Literally a childhood dream come true! Incredible game
You can change the options to stop the cockpit view from becoming 'claustrophobic'. It's just a comfort setting for VR beginners and those who are prone to motion sickness.
Really nice upgrade for Wipeout fans. Have to say I've adored the series since it's PS1 days, especially the PSP and Vita entries. Respect for a great game.
For ppl that havent tried VR. Watching VR footage on a flat screen is like being a virgin and watching porn. You don't know what its like going inside.

So the first time you try VR is awkward, clumsy and anti-climactic?
I just bought the game a few days ago. Can confirm it is abso-fucking-lutely amazing in PS VR. This is what stores need to show people to convince them to get VR.
VR is not something that can be described accurately in videos of it. The problem is that the secondary screen is not representative of the actual in helmet visuals. This is probably the biggest barrier to entry for VR.........you can't really trust someone else's representation of it until you see it for yourself. I'll admit, I thought PSVR was going to be a joke, to be this God awful representation of VR solely for the sake of the fact that at the time, public interest in VR was at an all time high. I stand here to say as an owner of a PSVR, I was dead wrong. Be it the amazing world of Farpoint or the quaint artistry of Moss, big name multiplatform games like Doom VFR, or the incomparable Resident Evil 7 in VR, PSVR is the real deal. Add Wipeout Omega Collection and it's not a wonder why PSVR is still leading the way on the VR games front. Hats off to Sony for championing this fledgling medium, as VR is a medium that can only be consumed, not viewed. With Sony lowering the cost to access PSVR, I hope more people who are either on the fence or outright opposed to VR, give the PSVR a shot. I did, and it is a decision I do not regret.

Agreed. PSVR isn't the best hardware on the market, but Sony's support and their game centric focus is proving that they knew what they were doing with it. Still want to see a few more big games, but so far, it's been a great experience.
This offering shames other publishers who want you to buy the VR patch, or worse yet, buy the entire game again (Skyrim go home)

Yeah but the difference is that this is a playstation owned property, designed to sell playstation products. They're trying to sell VR headsets. Other publishers are under no obligation to give free vr content. They shouldn't have to because they have to pay employees to work specifically on that part which will likely have very little return on investment. Hopefully in future games, vr modes become a standard part of the project.

It's a PS4 remaster of a PS3 remaster of a PSP game. I'd hope a PS4 Pro could run it 60FPS. Heck, it should be able to run it at 90 or 120FPS without resorting to interpolation. The visuals of this title are beneath that 3rd party Wipeout clone on the Switch- which also manages to run at a locked 60fps on mobile hardware and looks far better.

I bought the game on sale after the vr update was announced. Played a few races last night and it's great!
Great analysis. I played the VR update quite a bit yesterday and it is really impressive. Easily one of the top VR experiences available at the moment.
If you own PSVR you NEED to play this game. The Wipeout VR update is fantastic, being in VR makes the game easyer to play and really makes you feel like your there flying around the track at insane speeds..... oh and the soundtrack is still banging!

Bigbad Crawford The resolution difference is massive though with Sony's first-party games like Horizon Zero Dawn, GT Sport and now the upcoming God of War plus all the extra graphical effects. 60 fps on Shadow of the Colossus was also nice upgrade. On 4K TV with standard PS4, the 3 out of 4 pixels of the image is upscaled by the TV which is really bad for image quality while games I mentioned are either 1800p or checkboard up to 4K. That's why Sony made the Pro because more and more people were getting 4k TV's. I mean the console is only $100 more than the standard PS4. What did you expect? 4 times the resolution plus 60 fps on every game? That's not how it works.

Ah, first thing I did with cockpit view is >>> go to options >>> turn off the blinders. Because the claustrophobic view is automatically put on unless you turn it off. I'm not a motion sickness prone person so turning off the blinders helped expand my field of view while in the cockpit. It is BEAUTIFUL!
You can remove the cockpit shielding so you can see more
Been playing it in VR for a few hours now! It’s amazing!!
You know.. I like what you did here. Referencing the use of a term or phrase repeatedly does make said repetition feel ok and even funny. Good on ya! have you guys ever considered doing a UHD physical disc release of the full reviews or DF retro vid's for us to buy?

Man take 3 seconds to look in the menu and you will see you can turn off the blinders so you can see everything while racing and theres plenty of adjustments you can make to increase your comfort to cut down on motion sickness...or make it more intense if you wish. With half a million subscribers you owe it to give proper facts.
The best option for Wipeout Omega Collection VR is: on board these gliders with full VR option enabled, so no restrictions for the viewing angle and cam constrained to the pilots head! This is to do this game for the full effect yesss! :D
I bought this game yesterday, wanting to get down with the PSVR mode. I should have bought it months ago, it’s great! What a blast and so beautiful running on my 4K TV.
I think this was Richard at his finest. Very well done. I've never thought of Richard as a lazy person, but there was a level of sophistication in the diction and delivery that I haven't heard from him before. After all this time, he's still improving.
Thanks for the breakdown.
will be playing this for days..
Was looking forward to this analysis, the VR community has been having about how good it is. Looking forward to trying it after work today.
This is the first Digital Foundry video I've seen where you guys missed the view options. Did you you have a early build that didn't have them? In the video you have the view blinders set to full. You can dial them back half way or turn them off. I need comfort settings in a few games but was surprised I could turn this all the way off and feel fine. You can also lock the camera's tilting to cockpit (used here), track, or pilot. The pilot setting leans the view to every bank and turn
Played this for three hours tonight. It's incredible
Wow, this game exceeded expectations when it released and now it's doing it again in VR.
Absolutely amazing experience playing this in VR. It was already a great game but holy shit, this upgrade takes it over the top!

E Magid completely agree possibly the best VR game and it's a free update.
What VR can offer? When we sit. Camera.pos = CC.pos. Camera.rot = CC.rot + Headset.relativeRot. When we stand. Camera.pos = CC.pos + Headset.relativePos. Camera.rot = Headset.rot. * Camera: your view in the game. * CC: Character controller. In most games, it's just a capsule. * rot: rotation. * pos: position. All current VR games are pretty much limited to this physical limitation. When we sit... our neck structure won't allow us to turn 720 degree nonstop. And when we stand... we will hit the wall eventually, unless the system can "bring us back to the origin" automatically or you'd have to walk back manually. That is why current gen VR games are either arcade style rail shooter or racer (racer... in a way... is also an on-rail typpa game). Floor moves & you don't move typpa control scheme. The Haptic Chair and Treadmill will work but those are not practical solutions for majority household. It's for amusement parks. How about Arcade? You'd needa hire someone to stand next to the machine, to care, to hand hygiene mask over to customers.
Great video!
Great analysis!Wait until Zone of enders PSVR comes out, that game is gonna be amazing as well.

Hugo Stiglitz - as the other person said - 5.50 came out officially about 4-6 weeks ago now :) but the option for SS is only there on the Pro - but if you have it on and try and run this game in VR, it just hangs at the loading screen. If you turn it off then it works fine. Basically, the in-game supersampling conflicts with the system-wide one - which is a bit of a pain.
Great video and content
I enjoy Wipeout but was never going to get this one. Until I heard about the VR, now I'm definitely getting it!
I mainly game on my one x but also love my pro and VR. Can't wait to play this later.
You were playing with the blinders on Richard, it's a comfort setting you can remove.
Superb on PS4, Pro, AND VR. What a gem. Major kudos to the devs.
There are options to turn off the cockpit.
always great to see Richard Leadbetter.His reviews in mean machines lead me to buy many a Megadrive or Super Famicom game.
This is a rock solid VR experience, I have been playing so many hours multiplayer in VR with this game now, my favourite PSVR game next to Dirt Rally :)
Blinders can be turned off in the game's options. Forget the exact option to turn it off, cause the options aren't named super well, but you can definitely do it and it's a blast to play that way!
You can get the full view in cockpit by disabling the comfort feature. I found it much better personally and removes that clostaphobic feeling
Did you get the skins permanently once you plugged the vr, to play off the vr as well or you can only have those skins in the vr. Those skins look really nice and I wish I can have them. At first I thought it was a loyalty xp on teams but my piranha is max loyalty and I didn't get it so I'm kind of stuck therr

I recently acquired a playstation VR, since the price it's super accessible in this very moment, and quite frankly, Wipeout Omega collection it's the definitive game for the PSVR! The graphics looks amazingly rendered, the music its explosive and on par with the fast and furious gameplay, and it's super immersive, to the point , that the more you play it using the PSVR visor, you become a better driver since the 3d audio and the sharp graphics help you out to take corners more aggressively and adapt the usage of the weaponry system (either offensive or defensively, according to your needs). But the most important part: it's so fun and quite a blast to play! I'm a believer now, I didn't pay much attention to VR games in the past, but the Wipeout omega collection have attracted my interest nowadays to invest more time on other titles.
For anyone that’s curious DOOM with the PRO 4K patch looks fucking sick.
these devs r great
Turn the blinders off and lock to pilot. Those with weak stomachs, bring a bucket. This game is great.
I'd be puking the moment you started moving. I love VR, but for me, I can't even dream of playing something like this unless I get a sea sickness patch from my doctor.
For those on PC Redout is a similar game that works great in VR. BallisticNG looks like it's coming in VR too.
Such a brilliant port.
Can you play this game with a steering wheel? Or hotas for flight sims at least?
I get motion sick real quick. Cant play rigs at all without feeling ill . I played this solid for hours and no motion sickness at all. So if any of u suffer dont let this put u iff. I was really surprised. My best vr experience yet.
Turn the enclosed cockpit off in the options. Played this for 2 hours last night's. It's amazing!!!
Just got this game for free wasn't sure how I would like it. But I fired it up and holy shit it is fun as hell!!! Any excuse to jump into the VR world I'm up for it!! It still doesnt beat the experience you get with Ace Combat despite only having 3 missions 😡😡😡!! That game is by far my favorite VR experience of any Playstation game yet!! Hoping they release some more content for it!! But anyway this game is a very pleasant surprise!!
DooM has a "4K" patch on PS4 Pro. Please do some pixel peeping to see if it is anywhere close to 2160p. (My guess is a dynamic scale between 1440p - 1620p; maybe 1800p staring at walls)
I love PSVR! worth every penny
FINALLY SOME PSVR LOVE IN DF!!!!!!! I thought you only cared about Xonex and PUBG now.
Put it in pilot perspective and get rid of the blinders for the best experience.
watching that dude playing reminds me of something from tim and eric.
I love how they didn't take a lazy approach to this update. It really feels like the game was released with VR in the first place, and it's an incredible experience! Edit: I lot of PSVR games appear very fuzzy, even on PS4 Pros. But even with my standard console, it looks much clearer than any game that comes to mind (maybe Sparc?) When comparing captured videos from Wipeout to, for example, Skyrim, the difference is night and day. Hopefully we'll see more Wipeout-tier VR titles in the future.
Richie why all the hissing on the Mic MC:-))
I have a PS4 base system and might get this game even though i have Wipeout HD for PS3.

So far the best vr title. For the best action in the cockpit view, turn that comfort setting off.

How barrel roll function in VR?
this is everything you want in a vr game. it's incredible. wait till you hit your first downhill. take the blinders off the cockpit so you can out the sides and the front of your ship. better race experience.
I wish they would make more VR games that use the 3rd person view like this so you can see the character in front of you rather than only 1st person
Why is this video capped at 720p60?
The Doom update came out on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, can you guys check it out? I'm most curious about the Xbox One X version.
Disappointing that the reviewer stuck with the default comfort settings for the in-cockpit view. You can remove the blinds completely and if you “Lock camera to pilot”, you get the full sensation of the craft banking, barrel-rolling, etc. For bonus experience, turn the bizarrely named “Field of View” on to make the craft lurch forward authentically when travelling over a speed arrow.
