It's easy to miss the many shortcuts hidden throughout the track. Not only is it the best-looking Wipeout game so far, it's also the busiest. The amount of visual information to take in is a bit overwhelming. Imagine a roller-coaster ride off the Empire State Building that goes through Times Square, and you'll have an idea of what this race felt like. The New York City level had me racing down the side of a skyscraper, with the city abuzz in the background. Because 2048 takes place in the near-future, things appear a bit grittier than they did in previous games. The art goes a long way in providing a visceral experience that's unique to 2048. (It was an easy comparison to make, especially when they were side-by-side, playing the same track.)īut it's not just the Vita's hardware that makes Wipeout 2048 look so good. In fact, I'd argue that 2048 was better looking than PS3's Wipeout HD. I also got to play a Wipeout HD level against another racer playing on the PS3.ĭETAILS: PlayStation Vita has a beautiful screen, and Wipeout 2048 did an excellent job of showcasing the colors produced by Sony's beautiful high-resolution OLED display. This is the earliest game in the Wipeout timeline, meaning you'll be racing through cities that look closer in appearance to something you'd see in real life today. The new track takes place in 2048's new near-future setting. Although there are new "casual" controls being developed for the game, as a veteran of the Wipeout franchise, I stuck to the default standard control scheme. THE DEMO: I got to try two tracks: one brand new track for Wipeout 2048, and a classic track from Wipeout HD. With beautiful graphics, new near-future track designs, and planned connectivity with PS3, Wipeout 2048 has the potential to be the best Wipeout yet. Sony is hoping to strike gold again with Wipeout for PlayStation Vita. QUICKTAKE: Wipeout Pure was not only one of the best launch games for the PSP, it remained one of the finest games on the platform altogether.
