To be successful on each track you’ll have to learn how to use your airbrakes to navigate the many turns that are on each track. You will have to learn the ins and outs each track, and adjust your control accordingly. If I have one complaint about the game’s events, it would be that you’ll find yourself repeating various events more then you wish. You get quick summary of the event and you can then enter that event should you wish to.
You only need to press the specific hexagon you wish to see. Interestingly, this is one area where the Vita’s touchscreen is used. These events are represented on screen by a hexagon, and as more events open up, more hexagons show up on screen. Tracks are spread out through various locales in New York, so you’ll find your self racing through parks, streets, tunnels, and even up high around the tops of the various skyscrapers.Īs you beat various races, more open up. Given that the time period of the game is so early, in WipEout terms, dedicated tracks have not been built and the game takes place in a futuristic New York City. It takes place at a time when Anti-Gravity Racing is just starting to get a foothold in the racing market. WipEout 2048 is actually a prequel to all the other games that have been released in the series. As the game has progressed over the years, it has only gotten better and better and with some pretty insane tracks resulting in some amazing races in incredible locales. You’ll also find speed boost pads scattered throughout each track and these can be key in keeping up with the other racers. Thrown into the mix are offensive and defensive weapons, and the ability to destroy your opponents, but you too can also be destroyed. For anyone who has not played any of the WipEout games in the past, they are about racing in hovering vehicles on wildly designed tracks with insane amounts of speed.
