As with previous titles, the soundtrack is composed of several mainstream-ish techno songs, some new and some remixed from older games. Sound has also played a significant role in past Wipeouts and remains as prominent as ever. Cut scenes prior to a race, replays, even the menus are done with excellent style. This game leaves nothing to be desired visually. The hovercrafts are extremely detailed with elaborate shading and texture, and touches of neon and flashing lights pull everything together. These graphics are a delight to look at with sharp, crisp edges in the background scenery. The PS Vita may not be as warmly received as Nintendo’s 3DS, but the luxurious, hi def wide screen is perfect for Wipeout 2048. Offensive weapons include the simple and inaccurate machine guns, homing missles, and the deadly plasma bolt among others, while defensive items can grant the player a shield for temporary invulnerability, drain an opponent’s energy and add it to your own, pilot the craft automatically, and more. Weaponry is divided into 2 classes, offensive and defensive. Races in Wipeout 2048 take the form of advanced hovercrafts speeding through futuristic cityscapes. A multitude of weapons and other power-ups can be used giving those of us who aren’t so great at racing a chance at a decent finish.
#WIPEOUT 2048 PS VITA GAMEPLAY SERIES#
I’m not typically a huge fan of racing games but Wipeout has always been an exceptional franchise and Wipeout 2048continues the trend.Īnyone who’s played games from this series knows that racing is only a part of gameplay. In searching for strong PSV titles, to my surprise I learned of a new Wipeout receiving positive critical attention.
#WIPEOUT 2048 PS VITA GAMEPLAY SOFTWARE#
After I had first purchased the newest Sony handheld, I had a tough time locating a decent selection of games since Sony wants to encourage downloading software instead of purchasing physical media. Although I haven’t taken the time to track down or play any of the other various Wipeout titles ( Pulse, for the PSP, is lying around somewhere, unopened…), the PS Vita did lead me to Wipeout 2048. I remember Wipeout XL from my days of renting PS1 games and a few years later was introduced to Wipeout 3 while I was out hunting for the former. Genre: Racing, Extreme Racing, Futuristic Racing
