I'm quite confident some of you will disagree with me so feel free to let me know which HD ship you think is the best looking one in Wipeout Omega Collection? Also, is there any ship on my list that you would move up or down on the ranking? Thank you for watching!
Wouldn’t forget it for the world! I don’t know about any statistics but considering the balanced stats of the team, I kind of feel Harimau is a relatively popular pick for many different game modes.
I personally love the shapes of Auricom and Goteki 45. They are very reminiscent of their designs in Wip3out and they bring me waves of nostalgia when I take a glance at them. In other words I have copious amounts of nostalgia bias towards them...
I guess I am, kind of weird right? :) Much content about anti gravity racing is centered around time trials, world records and so on so I'm glad I can provide an approach that maybe hasn't been explored that much. Thank you for your comment!
Goteki has one of my most favourite designs in the series. They are meant to be bulky. Mechanical beasts, with no deroutes taken, the only way is through and pray you are not crossing the path of the pilot of one.
That is a great question that I'm sure many players have thought about. In the Wipeout games the main stats are presented when you select your ship. However, RUclipsr Snakenator has made a spreadsheets where he summarized all the ships "hidden stats". In short, there's not a lot of them but when it comes to Assegai And Harimau that appear to have the same handling, Harimau actually has more "ground grip" meaning that Assegai will probably drift slightly more in the corners. Which one is the better ship probably comes down to personal preference.
I totally respect that! I do something similar since I do watch the stats but I refuse to race with a ship that I don’t like the look of, even if I like the stats.
Yes, making these types of videos is definitely slightly risky. I do however love the fact that it's sort of unanimous that everybody thinks that Mirage HD is the ugliest ship in the game :)
Great picks! They did a really great job overall with the liveries in this games since they are very detailed and reminiscent of those we find on real racing vehicles.
I'm an Icaras main, and I gotta say you ranked our ship too high. I'll get fired for sayin' this, but Assegai are the best looking imo. You obviously prefer realism, and I prefer *a e s t h e t i c s*.
I see where you’re coming from but there’s just something about about the modified classic look about the HD Icaras ship that really speak to me . Assegai looks great but slightly too fragile. Thank you for your comment, I knew people wouldn’t agree with me 100% :D
I grew up with WIpeout 64, and it was one of my favorite games on the system. I really loved the design of the Auricom in that game, with the wedge shape and big spoiler, it really stood out from the other ships. I wish we got to see an updated version of that design in HD!
Yes, and instead we got this crap looking ship :) Glad you enjoyed Wipeout 64. I have actually yet to try the game but a viewer recently gifted me with several emulated games for my Steam Deck, Wipeout 64 among them so I can't wait to try the game out. Thank you for your comment and sorry for the late reply!
I am a Feisar lover. But Harimau looks better in every aspect. And the best thing, both are quite similar in handling. So I can enjoy both without losing the fun of my ship playstyle. 😊 Harimau has this classic race car feeling.
It's fun that most people seem to agree that Harimau deserves the number 1 spot :) But the Feisar HD ship really has the very classic Wipeout look as well! I also like a high handling stat so both teams feels great to play with but in my experience, Feisar feels a tad too slow on the higher difficulties.
@@AGRacingCentral Feisar is like a Rally Car, it don't need high speed. What it need is high grip and acceleration :D But yeah, when you master Icaras, it is unbeatable.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the fury ships definitely improved the looks of many of the ships in the game, I agree that Auricom Fury definitely looks really sharp!
I quite like the idea of this! 😄 I’m curious if you would also do a Fury & also a 2048 version of this topic! It’s a good idea I say! New things to discuss! PS. Harimau on top? Love ya man haha! 😂
Thanks a lot! I definitely considered what you suggested. Wanted to see how people responded to this one first but a follow-up video is entirely possible.
@@AGRacingCentral Always a good idea mate! Always good to see if the discussion would be of interest to others also, especially since that’s how discussions get created! 😁 But yeah! Definitely consider a follow up! I’d love to see it! 😄
@@AGRacingCentral '-as their company is Evil-'. Yes. let us keep it that way for that no longer existent, crazy (so far currently that I have half heard for now, Lore-wise) faction.
I wish they would allow us to use the concept ship designs that they had in wipeout pulse, mainly because the concept ship for mirage looked miles better than the base ship. I’ll admit it looked a little similar to ag systems and harimau, but the main difference being that the engine was separated from the main fuselage and connected to it by two columns. I’d much rather be the pilot of that ship than the current mirage design, cause in all honesty, you probably wouldn’t even be able to see out of jt
Yes, the Mirage ship is not a looker. Adding skins derived from concept art would have been a great thing to add to the game! We can only hope that they do it in a potential sequel...
It seems you don't like two-pronged ships, I personally dislike tree-pronged ships. I agree with you that the Harimau looks good and the Mirage looks bad, but I disagree with pretty much everything else lol.
That's the beauty of multiple ships I guess, something for every taste :) I do like some of the two pronged ships, like Tigron for example. But Mirage and Auricom, not so much :)

(04:15). ....how....coincidental of a reaction. except, this kind of realization of yours for example is towards the pir-hana faction instead, rather than that Annoying flying fish ship for me. *Eugh.

I'm gonna be honest, the Fury ships are way too overdesigned and I dont think I like a single one of them as much as their base game equivalents. I definitely prefer the more basic smoother looking normal ships. Assegai is probably my favourite in HD. looking light, sleek and more aerodynamically efficient than most of the other crafts. It's more fragile appearance is pretty fitting though as its typically the least durable ship in most of its appearances. If I was gonna pick my favourite ships in the whole series, aesthetically speaking, I'd probably pick the F9000 FEISAR in fusion, specifically at its third tier design with the more forward-facing wings. It has that Classic FEISAR look but with a little bit of a bite to it, which I suppose kinda fits the craft's performance too. The F9000 FEISAR was their most competitive model in lore, and had more powerful engines than any of its predecessors! One thing I'll point out though, the Wipeout HD AG-S craft's cockpit looks awfully difficult to see out of unless you pitch nose-down. It's a very pretty ship but... unless they've got some really fancy camera setup in there, I can't imagine it's the easiest ship to see out of!
The Fury ships was definitely a bold new direction from a design perspective. I think they generally look cool at the same time as they lost a bit of their nostalgic touch, just like you sort of mentioned in your comment. Thanks a lot for checking out the video and for writing down your own assessment on the topic! :)
Love this series and I love how Harimau is getting some deserved recognition. The Van Uber ship for me is a close second but I can’t unlock it cause my code expired and I did digitally download it🥲
Yes, van Uber was a pre-order bonus if I remember correctly. Too bad you forgot to redeem your code but it's what happens :) Plenty of more fun ships to chose from. Glad to meet another Harimau fan!
I'm quite confident some of you will disagree with me so feel free to let me know which HD ship you think is the best looking one in Wipeout Omega Collection? Also, is there any ship on my list that you would move up or down on the ranking? Thank you for watching!
As a Harimau main, it always feels good when people actually remember their ships actually exist
Wouldn’t forget it for the world! I don’t know about any statistics but considering the balanced stats of the team, I kind of feel Harimau is a relatively popular pick for many different game modes.
Harimau is S tier ship when it comes to stats
Harimau for life.
Harimau and mirage are my two favourite ships for pure racing
Best ship in HD
I personally love the shapes of Auricom and Goteki 45. They are very reminiscent of their designs in Wip3out and they bring me waves of nostalgia when I take a glance at them.
In other words I have copious amounts of nostalgia bias towards them...
I see, nostalgia is very hard to beat. Then my ranking might be explained by me playing Wipeout 2 much more than 3.
You are probably the first person to ever discuss individual WipEout ship designs, and to some extent, aerodynamics, in RUclips.
I guess I am, kind of weird right? :) Much content about anti gravity racing is centered around time trials, world records and so on so I'm glad I can provide an approach that maybe hasn't been explored that much. Thank you for your comment!
Yes.... [quietly rolled eyes]
'-in youtube.'. Unfortunately, still.
....
Goteki has one of my most favourite designs in the series. They are meant to be bulky. Mechanical beasts, with no deroutes taken, the only way is through and pray you are not crossing the path of the pilot of one.
I see what you mean. If I took all original paint jobs into more consideration, Goteki 45 would definitely be ranked higher!
Those ships have a very exotic color scheme
Are you planning to make one for HD Fury ships?
At first I didn't because I think they are much more equally cool but I've actually changed my mind so it's definitely coming :) Thanks for the tip!
You can never go wrong with a tried and tested variation of FEISAR's LS model,
It's a classic ship for sure :)
Nice video. My personal favourite ship design is probably AG-Systems, but Harimau is very good too.
Thanks! Apparently, we have the same taste when it comes to looks of futuristic racing ships :)
on a mildly unrelated note
so the Assegai is pretty much a Harimau with more acceleration? like,it's simply _better_ ? no twists or anything?
That is a great question that I'm sure many players have thought about. In the Wipeout games the main stats are presented when you select your ship. However, RUclipsr Snakenator has made a spreadsheets where he summarized all the ships "hidden stats".

I don't even look at the stats when picking a ship. I just pick the coolest one.
I totally respect that! I do something similar since I do watch the stats but I refuse to race with a ship that I don’t like the look of, even if I like the stats.
Before the video gets to the ranking, "Oh my god listing ugly vehicles is a bad idea by itself." Then, "Oh that first one is so ugly."
Yes, making these types of videos is definitely slightly risky. I do however love the fact that it's sort of unanimous that everybody thinks that Mirage HD is the ugliest ship in the game :)
My favs are AG Systems, Tigron and Feisar because of the cute smiley on the paintjob >^^
Great picks! They did a really great job overall with the liveries in this games since they are very detailed and reminiscent of those we find on real racing vehicles.

@@AGRacingCentral Like you said at the start, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
@@AGRacingCentral Assegai feels as lightweight as it looks, so I'd say they got that part right
@@parrotsticks Good point! Not sure if that is part of the game's hidden stats or not.
For me, AG systems #2 and Feisar #3 for their attention to detail, but Tigron #1 overall
Decent picks for sure, I really like how so many people agree with at least my general placements of the teams on my list. Thanks a lot for watching!
@ApteryxTheRainWing Thx a lot for the feedback! The opinions about Mirage's look seem to be universal :)

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the fury ships definitely improved the looks of many of the ships in the game, I agree that Auricom Fury definitely looks really sharp!
I wish there was a way to look at them without the paint job for a more balanced way to pick.
That's a great idea! I could always use that metal looking neutral skin that you unlock for all craft when the campaign is complete :)
@@AGRacingCentral I did not know that...
Finally, you uploaded again.
I did :) Will try to upload more frequently but I also have the intention to throw more live streams and Shorts into the mix.

I guess so :) It's a really cool looking ship that imo!
Hi, are you ever gonna make a video about game AG DRIVE? It is one of my favorite games ever
I haven't really delved all that deep into mobile games but I might look into it. Thanks for the tip!
“In fourth place,we have Tigron”
[every team disliked that]
I guess so but this is my totally objective judgement of how they all look, not taking prior illegal actions into consideration :)
Mostly agree, would put piranha and goteki 45 higher, egx lower
Really cool that we agree that much!
