The game's primary mode is a single-player campaign that gives you a grid of events. I ended up sticking with the Feisar Speed for most of the game, but in the combat mode you'll probably need something a little tougher.

The Feisar prototype, unlockable once you reach level 10, increases its top speed every time you fly over a boost pad, potentially giving it the fastest top speed around if you can keep it from crashing into too many walls. The fourth ship for each team is a "prototype" ship that has unique features. Each team has four different ship types that unlock as you earn experience points in events, giving you access to ships balanced in favor of speed, handling, or combat.

The team list looks a lot like Wipeout XL's, so you'll unlock and control vehicles from Feisar, AG Systems, Qirex, Auricom, and Pirhana.

It's sort of a minor distinction that mostly boils down to "you will see buildings and other city-like structures along the sides of the game's 10 tracks." But this at least gives the game a centralized focus and jumping-off point, aesthetically. The upshot of all this is that the game's tracks are designed to look a little more like sectioned-off parts of a future city instead of race tracks built specifically for anti-gravity racing. It covers 2048 to 2050, but the first Wipeout game is set in 2052. But in case you haven't internalized the Wipeout timeline by this point, it'd help for you to know that this is the earliest entry in the series, fictionally speaking. Toss in a UI that's a little too slick for its own good and you end up with something a little more ho-hum than you might be expecting.Īs the name might tell you, the game opens in 2048. But it can be hard to look past the game's technical issues, which include insane pre-race load times and a frame rate that tends to rob the traditionally breakneck hover racer of its sense of speed. The action and the basic modes are mostly intact and it offers a passable number of options for the price. Wipeout 2048 brings the popular and long-running future-racing franchise to Sony's new PlayStation Vita. This is foreshadowing to the construction of Firestar, which was built on Mars in 2052.2048 is capable of producing some awesome static images.

A particular news reel in Altima explains that "Astro-tourists" have visited Mars.

Newspeak itself is a reference to the official language of Oceania in George Orwell's novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

One trackside news reel announces that "Newspeak" has become the official language of Nova State City in the year 2050, the year of Project Altima's completion.

Instead, it seems to be held somewhere in Canada, where it would later evolve into Altima VII (albeit removing its shortcuts from the map).

This is probably the only track in the entire game not to be set in Nova State City.

Another states that the Mag-Strip is suffering reliability problems and would be banned (Mag-Strip was introduced in Wipeout Pulse). One reel states that Pir-hana may leave AG racing, which justifies their absence from Wipeout and "re-introduction" in Wipeout 2097.

The trackside news reels refer to some rumors that help enforce the game's continuity to the rest of the series.

"Astro-tourists, go to Mars for $2 billion"Ĭhoose your path wisely, or else, lose.

"Newspeak becomes the official language".

"Newsflash - first human-robot marriage!".

This cuts the hairpin right you would normally negociate.

The last is in the tunnel before the finish.

There are two on the big jump: one can be done at high-speed classes with lightweight crafts, while the other one forces you to use a turbo.

It might be hard to find at first, but it's a key barrel roll jump to beat Zico.

The first one can be found after the main straight, at the left of the second corner.

Expect to go airborne for a long time as you jump off and down along the deep steep slope. Altima is one of the most difficult tracks ever built due to its mixture of switchbacks and terrains. Altima is the final track you're racing in the Campaign.
