Wipeout comes to the real world with Omega Collection model

WipEout Omega Collection | Real Life Anti-Grav | PS4
To celebrate Wipeout Omega collection officially going gold, Sony has created a super-special edition of the game — details of which have yet to be revealed — which comes with a model of the Tigron FX350 racer. Better yet, that model uses a clever magnet system to hover much like the anti-gravity ships do in the various Wipeout games.

The Wipeout Omega Collection (stylized as wipE’out) brings together the gravity-defying racing gameplay you loved from Wipeout HD, Wipeout HD Fury and Wipeout 2048, in a new and enhanced version designed for the PS4 Pro. It features improved graphics with HDR and dynamic 4K support, as well as smoother frame rates. And now a fancy ship model to celebrate that.

The ship comes with a matte black paint job, potentially letting owners paint it how they want themselves. However, whether you do so or not, the Tigron FX350 will rotate slowly atop its ‘anti-gravity’ platform thanks to some clever magnets and a discrete power source.

The base it hovers above is mirrored and features some tasteful LED lighting to really bring your little ship model to life.

Sony has announced a few different versions of the Omega Collection to help celebrate its release. There’s the standard digital version, which comes with a digital artbook and a new Van Uber ship along with four racing team avatars. There’s also a steelbook physical edition of the game. The ship doesn’t seem to come with either of those, so it’s possible that what we see in the video is another special edition of the game.

For now though all we can do is wait to see what Sony says about it. It suggests we keep an eye on its blog, so that’s what we’ll do. We’ll update this story when we learn more about it.

Wipeout Omega Collection is set for release on June 7, exclusively on PS4 and PS4 Pro.

These God of War Ragnarok settings made my playthrough much better
Kratos and Atreus sail on water in God of War Ragnarok.

There are a lot of reasons to be excited about God of War Ragnarok, which launches on PS4 and PS5 today. The action-adventure sequel is another high-quality first-party game for PlayStation owners, following up 2018’s hit God of War reboot with a bigger (though relatively equal) experience. Some fans may be eager to see Kratos' story continue, while others just might be itching to swing the ever-so-satisfying Leviathan Ax again.

What was I most excited to see and do when I booted it up? Open the settings menu.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is also coming to PS4 and PS5

Team Cherry confirmed that the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong will be on two more platforms at launch: PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The official PlayStation Twitter account revealed the news this morning, adding PS4 and PS5 to a list of Hollow Knight: Silksong platforms that include PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a sequel to Hollow Knight, one of the most critically acclaimed Metroidvania games of the past decade. Hollow Knight: Silksong follows Hornet, a character from the first game, as she explores the unfamiliar world of Pharloom. When Team Cherry announced the indie in February 2019, it only confirmed that the game was in development for PC, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch.
The game went MIA after an appearance at E3 2019, only for it to triumphantly reemerge as one of the first announcements of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022. Although we know that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available through Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox platforms, it's good to know that those who prefer to try the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation will still have access to the game on day one. 
Unfortunately, this PlayStation announcement did not come alongside a new trailer or release date confirmation, so Hollow Knight fans are still left eagerly awaiting its follow-up. Microsoft did claim that every game in its June showcase was "targeted to launch in the next 12 months," though, so it's very possible that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released for PC, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in the first half of 2023.
