#WIPEOUT 2048 ONLINE UPDATE#
The historic stables of the series are also present in this new episode.ĭespite the shortcomings mentioned above, however, this is new WipEout 2048 remains extremely enjoyable, also showing some peaks of excellence that bode well for any future updates (remember in fact that Fury is an update of WipEout HD for PS3). It must be said that thanks with this choice the team was able to create a visually impressive game. To this we add rather long loading times (we are also talking about 30 seconds before each race) and the return to 30 fps after playing for months at 60 fps with WipEout HD and Fury on PlayStation 3.
If initially this choice may also seem interesting and arouse a certain curiosity in the players, a few races are enough to realize that the new stylistic approach does not hold up to comparison with those of the past, hitting a vital point in WipEout’s DNA.
This choice has influenced not only the overall design of the game but above all that of the tracks, often set in dark urban settings that make us regret the neon atmospheres that have always characterized the series over the years.

In this portable version, however, we are in our hands a sort of prequel, which shows the first examples of the very fast races between anti-gravity vehicles that we have come to love so much in so many years of loyalty to this historic saga. Over the years the WipEout saga has accustomed its fans to a truly exquisite stylistic sophistication, generally aimed at representing a minimalist and extremely clean version of the future of motor racing. In the making of this excellent chapter for PlayStation Vita, however, not everything went the right way, given that the guys from the Liverpool studio made some decisions that were not exactly optimal for the quality of the final experience.Īs you can see for yourself, the settings are generally darker than those of the previous chapters. Without detracting from the various Ridge Racer, Asphalt and so on, over the years this legendary saga has been able to involve millions of players, leading more than one person to fracture of the fingers and the loss of oculomotor coordination.Īfter literally stripping WipEout HD and Fury for PlayStation 3, seeing a technically almost identical version of it running on a portable device leaves you speechless, giving you a foretaste of intense toilet sessions based on speed and techno-surreal melodies. Don’t have nightmares.The launch of the PlayStation Vita was accompanied by several driving games, among which the intriguing and psychedelic stands out.

Head to Head, Speed Lap, Zone Mode, Time Trial and Combat events – every one of them with its own online leaderboard so you can fight for position against your friends and even the rest of the world. ZOMBIE mode won’t be in WipEout 2048, but we’ve still got loads of great game modes sprinkled in amongst our awesome Races. That said, like a real-life Zombie, ZOMBIE mode is dead, but it’s not completely dead. In the final reckoning, we made the call to put Zombie mode on the back burner. Our prototypes showed that it was a lot of fun to flee from a horde of terrifying Zombie ships, but ZOMBIE was just one of a number of cool modes in prototype. As time goes by, more and more Zombie ships appear, becoming more and more aggressive, until you are surrounded by a swarm of carbon-clad deliverers of Armageddon, and that’s before a Zombie Mother-ship even shows up…shudder! You can pick up Cannons and the occasional (but very rare) Quake to defend yourself, but it’s only going to delay the inevitable – you will die. Then they’re on you, ramming you, destroying themselves if need be, but they’re taking you with them.

They start to show up on your Zombie radar, a handful at first in hot pursuit and full of ominous darkness. Then you hear them in the distance, the digital scream of their engines filling you with dread. You start in darkness, alone on the track.
The rules of ZOMBIE were simple enough – survive the horror for as long as possible by avoiding or taking out the Zombie ships. These are 1000mph steel and carbon fibre machines of menacing evil, and they want you dead… Now, this is WipEout, so our zombies were never going to be the sluggish, lumbering, flesh-eaters you’re familiar with. Earlier this year we prototyped a new (hidden) game mode called ZOMBIE. But almost every game has at least one cool feature that sadly finds its way to the cutting room floor, and WipEout 2048 is no exception L. The new WipEout game is our biggest and most adventurous ever, with loads of awesome new stuff for you to get your hands on come February 22nd. Hi Everyone, this is Karl Jones (Lead Designer) and Stuart Tilley (Game Director) of WipEout 2048 for PS Vita.
