The three main game modes, Race, Battle and Zones all return and are largely unchanged from the main PS3 game. Yes, there are new tracks and a brand new UI but few substantial changes have been made. Unfortunately, WipEout 2048 does suffer from one glaring issue - it's basically just a handheld version of WipEout HD. However, the game still plays nicely on the Vita, and it's easy to race for long periods of time without hand cramps. Players can opt to switch the controls to a more traditional button layout if they so prefer, though sadly the options for custom controls are absent. In the PS3 game 'X' was used to accelerate, yet in 2048 it's the right shoulder button. Surprisingly, the game's default controls are very different from WipEout HD. When restarting a race the load times are significantly decreased - so don't worry about messing up and then having to stare at another loading screen. Thankfully, once the race has loaded it runs smooth as butter.

A patch was released shortly after launch to decrease the wait times, but unfortunately they do still exist. While selecting a race is very easy and intuitive, WipEout 2048 does suffer from some lengthy load times. Players can zoom in and out of the race selection screen by "pinching" the Vita's touch screen - much like a browser on any smartphone. There are very few menus to navigate and races are always just a touch or two away.
Races appear against a backdrop of white hexagons and players use the touch screen to select the one they want to partake in.
Unfortunately, while the game is fun, it does have one major problem: a lack of innovation.įrom the moment players boot up the game they'll notice that WipEout 2048's UI has been tailored to suit the mobile platform. The futuristic racer has always been synonymous with the PlayStation brand, and now Studio Liverpool hopes to continue the trend with WipEout 2048. Game Rant's Anthony Mole reviews WipEout 2048Īccompanying the launch of the PS Vita are some of Sony's most beloved IP's - one of the most prominent being the WipEout franchise.
