GAMEPLAY: If you’ve never played any entry into the WipEout series, then you are to be pitied. Turn it up loud and you will be fully immersed in what you are doing, with the explosions, whooshing of vehicles and the superb tunes throughout. With thumping futuristic beats from the likes of Kraftwerk, Orbital and The Future Sound of London, this is a game to be savoured with a nice pair of headphones. SOUND: Throughout the series, WipEout has never let its fans down when it comes to music, and yet again Studio Liverpool have knocked it out of the park.
In a similar manner to the PlayStation 3’s “HD” edition, the focus is very much on clear white menus and ease of navigation, but nonetheless, 2048 really does look the business. The power of the PS Vita is showcased magnificently, with gorgeous colour bursting out of the screen at the player, with a (mostly) firm frame-rate throughout every race too. GRAPHICS: As you’d expect, the visuals for 2048 are nothing short of mind blowing.

Throughout various incarnations, the series was brought screaming into the HD era with WipEout HD, and expanded upon with the Fury add-on yet another excellent addition to the series.īringing the series to a handheld device is nothing new for Studio Liverpool though, with two excellent PSP titles under their belt, surely with the power of the PlayStation Vita, WipEout 2048 will be stunning? Starting way back in 1995 when Sony’s Studio Liverpool were called Pysgnosis (a well respected developer even then) the series started with aplomb, garnering universal praise for its gameplay and style, especially when it came to the music. Once upon a time, PlayStation and WipEout were inseparable.
