When you do pull off a win, it feels amazing, and somehow also almost like a fluke. While the Vita’s tiny buttons and analog stick hold up well, you’ll still be hard-pressed to stay on the track and keep up the speed needed to properly finish the race in a ranking position. Just like in the other Wipeout titles, you’ll pilot an anti-gravity craft through some of the most bendy, twisty courses ever devised. You’ll have to get used to wall collisions early, as they are the norm for this game - easily the floatiest one yet. This is a brutal and unforgiving racer, even with all the optional assists switched on. The game is set in a time slightly before the other series installments in a sort of prequel, so you’d notice some not-so-futuristic backdrop set pieces if you weren’t smashing into walls or other racers at a bazillion miles an hour.

For emphasis: Wipeout 2048 is a beautiful game.Īlso to be emphasized: Wipeout 2048 is a bitch. The shiny crafts and the futuristic backdrops seem to pop right off the screen, and outside the occasional dip in frame rate from heavy action, it moves so smoothly that you’ll wonder how the Vita isn’t overheating. This game is as fast and flashy as its predecessors, and it really impresses on the Vita’s high-res screen. Studio Liverpool brings its super-fast hovercraft racer to the PlayStation Vita, and they didn’t leave out a bit of speed in the move from console to portable. Suddenly you’re sweating, heart pounding, gritting your teeth into turns, and wondering what you signed up for. That’s not to mention the tight turns, gut-dropping dips, and the heat-seeking missiles on your tail. But then you’re quickly hit with a lack of road resistance, too-fast movement, and the slight sense of motion sickness from all the swerving.
