- Pacer review - enjoyable WipEout revival that can't quite distinguish itself - 12 March 2021
I was recently idly wondering whether we'd ever see another true WipEout again when I decided to download the Omega Collection via backwards compatibility on PlayStation 5. This loving compilation of Studio Liverpool's last three entries in one of PlayStation's most iconic series might be showing its age - you can trace the roots here back to the series' PSP outings, and at times they certainly show - but that doesn't stop it from being as sublime to play today as it's ever been, especially in all the Omega Collection's 4K/60fps glory. It's pretty much as good as futuristic racers get. Apologies for starting a review of one game while talking about another, but there's no other way when it comes to Pacer really; this is a futuristic anti-grav racer that goes out of its way to evoke memories of WipEout.

- PACER launch delay - 14 September 2020
Hi Steam community Release date "Development on PACER for PC, PS4 and Xbox One (with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X enhancements) is complete! However, whilst the Steam version of PACER is ready and revving to go, both the Xbox One and PS4 versions are currently heading into final submission with our final Gold candidates and therefore will regrettably miss the originally planned September 17th release date.
