I don't get it, when wipeout slowed down (wipeout pure) they gave it high reviews, while when a faster game with new tracks, team(s), and new gameplay elements, they say it hasn't changed much, yet they support wipeout HD which doesn't add anything to the series but good graphics.
Is it just me, or does Hollywood need to make a movie out of this series? Not live action, mind you, that's why a lot of video game movies fail in the first place, but imagine something done by studio D-Rockets, or whoever made the Tekken movie, and so on. With some fantastic CG effects, and a solid story, we could finally get an explanation on all the technology featured in Wipeout, something that's always bothered me since Wipeout on the Playstation 1. How do these teams work? How do the ships work? What's life like in the world of Wipeout? What are the people like? Do people gamble on ship races like they do at horse races? What's this world like? I really want to know these things... Guess it's time to make it all up myself, lest some CG studio gets interested enough in these games to make a movie or at least SOMETHING out of it. An internet based collection of CG animations with a plot would be cool... As long as it was interesting, and SOLID, as well as entertaining, I would LOVE to see a Wipeout movie.
HiryuGouki It could work, yeah, but for story purposes they'd need to choose one team as the "protagonist" (maybe Feisar) and another as the villain (most likely Pirhana), while leaving all the other teams in the background. Not fair.
I think they should allow you to listen to your own music or add your music to the game. I have many songs that would go well with the game. I just wish this could be done.
This is my favorite WipEout game in the series. I've played them all and I honestly think this on is worth checking out. The only let downs is the menu variety, online lobby options, and the lack of voice chat. Everything else is amazing. I like the art direction in this one more than HD/Fury.
is gamespot using a screen recorder for this because the gameplay looks better than ign since i do not see parts of ps vita during the gameplay and only saw the gameplay footage
I heard the patch makes the loading times faster, and if you own wipeout HD and HD fury on ps3 (it was offered free as an apology after the Sony hacks) you will get the expansion pack for Wipeout 2048 free which adds 24 reimagined tracks, 12 reverse tracks, 4 zone tracks, 24 ships and the zone ship which support cross platform play and a longer campaign. Sounds good to me, I totally buying it!
always better to buy on physical media if possible. two big, full-sized games would fill up an 8GB card, at around 2-3GB each. 8 GB is fine if you're not stocking up on PSP/PSone games, 'cause the downloadable Vita games that can't be bought on physical media don't take up much space... except for Escape Plan + DLC & patches... that game's filesize is huge.
Quite surprised at the score considering the positive nature of the review, but aside from the load times.. this looks ace. Good news they're is a patch to sort the load times though.
F Zero GX has batshit crazy track design and insane speeds overall it is just lots of fun through its insanity. Wipeout is something we could see in the foreseeable future. Tracks are not as radical, it is more contemporary, and realistic. I love both though. I would have hoped they made a Wipeout for PS4. Also, Nintendo also needs to get another F Zero on the Wii U.
It looks like they recorded this off-screen and did not use a direct feed (you can see their fingers). PS Vita has no video out function. As for the intro video in the game its on UA-cam in HD so they probably borrowed it (likely with permission).
I'm getting Stardust for free from the pre-order, depending on how much I spent on that game I will decide if I should spent money on another. But the one after Stardust will be Wipeout 2048. I would like to get LBP but am hesitant on Disgaea 3 Absence of Detention.
Wasn't really expecting the 7.5, sounded more like an 8.5 throughout the video. Haven't played a wipeout game since the original. If I got a Vita i'd definitely pick this one up.
I got Wipeout HD+Fury free because of the hack, loved it. Got 2048 free because I bought the 3G version, loved it. Get the HD+Fury 2048 DLC free and I'm still loving it! And I never had to pay a penny! Also the loading times have improved dramatically.
I love the crap outta wipeout. I've loved it ever since the PS1-era. Always prefered F-Zero, in both speed, level design and soundtrack, but Wipeout is still awesome. And I always liked the weapon that makes a wave on the track. :P I would so get this if I had a Vita.
Personally I favor F-Zero. The gameplay is so fast and the turns can be so tight that you need hard skill to react in later tracks. As for Wipeout, it's still a good game on it's own, but in the end, the two are in their own worlds as F-Zero uses no weapons so it's easier to make graphical sacrifices and compensations that make it feel and play faster.
Funny I was gonna mention playing this game on the bus and how fricken hard it would be to "Concentrate" lol Watch me miss my stop so cause Im so caught up playing it lol
Good question...That's extremely hard to answer. Well if you're comparing N64 F-Zero to PS1 Wipeout 1 than...I still don't know. F-Zero feels like it has more speed to it and the tracks feel a bit bigger. WipEout has better style and it's easier lol. I guess it depends on the person.
@BigboiTy2010 and talk about the 7.0 for uncharted, The scores are Unbelievably Disappointing ! Never expected it to be like this, still i will get the VITA as i see a bright future for it.
If I get this game and get bored with it, I would just ask my bro to Cross-Play with me, he being PS3 and me being Vita. We'd each get our own screen and shit... that's awesome.
ikr? ive also heard "is that a PSPvita?" "hey is that the PS3 portable?" and more recently "what are you doing this is math class! give me that!".... then my teacher starts playing it all class period -_-
Everytime I go to watch this video there's an ad that won't load and I refreshed, gone back, closed out went back and everything, but the damn ad won't load so I can't watch the video.
Internet scoring system:
10= impossible
9= 10
8= good
7= bad
6= horrible
0-5= 0

Quality review, the others have been so poorly presented and you actually managed to mention the killer sound track. Thanks guys!
The graphics on this are phenominal. I love how great it looks even at 30 fps.
@ArturCudi I don't know about other games, but ones with log load times may have them reduced. Wipeout's patch is already out in Japan.

This review has ten times more information than igns. Great video!
this game was easily an 8.5 imo
@uncleniccius does that mean that the loading times in wipeout and probable other games will be fixed/reduced? And if so, when will this happen?
@uncleniccius wait is there really a patch for the load times? where did you hear this?
I did update the software, (and yes the patch notes did say it was gonna have faster loading times). But I didn't notice it being much faster.
This looks fantastic, makes me wish I had a Vita.
Free with PlayStation Plus right now!
is gamespot using a screen recorder for this because the gameplay looks better than ign since i do not see parts of ps vita during the gameplay and only saw the gameplay footage

Studio Liverpool fixed the load times with an update to the game. Load times are over 50% faster after the updates!
Quite surprised at the score considering the positive nature of the review, but aside from the load times.. this looks ace. Good news they're is a patch to sort the load times though.
I NEED HELP
Is it better to download Ps vita games from Ps vita or buy externally? I have an 8 gb memory stick btw
F Zero GX has batshit crazy track design and insane speeds overall it is just lots of fun through its insanity.

Can you play your playlist as its big brother (PS3) while playing wipeout ??
if you care about longevity then this is a must have.
as stated this game have two campaign modes offline and online :)
the zone mode is one of my favorite parts of the game and i find them relatively easy tbh
It looks like they recorded this off-screen and did not use a direct feed (you can see their fingers). PS Vita has no video out function. As for the intro video in the game its on UA-cam in HD so they probably borrowed it (likely with permission).
whats the first song in the review, really need to know it pleeeeease
Thanks, God bless
Played the demo of this , when i get a vita this will be one of the first on my Library
I'm getting Stardust for free from the pre-order, depending on how much I spent on that game I will decide if I should spent money on another. But the one after Stardust will be Wipeout 2048. I would like to get LBP but am hesitant on Disgaea 3 Absence of Detention.

@tastypancakez It was announced by the guy making it, and is already out in Japan. Reduces the loading times by 15 seconds apparently.
@pk511 use the opera browser it has a youtube ad blocker icon
dunno if I'm right but it looks like the steering is similar to the one in fusion
I got Wipeout HD+Fury free because of the hack, loved it. Got 2048 free because I bought the 3G version, loved it. Get the HD+Fury 2048 DLC free and I'm still loving it! And I never had to pay a penny! Also the loading times have improved dramatically.
I love the crap outta wipeout. I've loved it ever since the PS1-era.
Always prefered F-Zero, in both speed, level design and soundtrack, but Wipeout is still awesome. And I always liked the weapon that makes a wave on the track. :P
I would so get this if I had a Vita.
Yes, it's free, same as the adblock plugin for Google Chrome. Just google it with one of the 2 browsers and install within a few seconds.
Anyone else wondering how they did screen capture?
I cant wait to hear what's in the soundtrack!
Ok I had another look, the loading percentage now skips to full after 50%.
So loading times have been halved.
Is the ad block free?
This looks gorgeous. Still miss F-Zero though.
should i buy this game or gravity rush?
Its the reason I got a Vita, no regrets, I'd even be happy with only this game.
Played the demo and loved it! Great game. The load time sucks though
why is this content restricted?
Ikr I can't watch it even though I'm a fucking adult and I have an adult profile
- Can you change the control scheme?
- Can you import your own music?
Thanks.
Nice visuals! I'd say it deserves a 8.5
I actually found out you can do it with the music on the vita. I was just doing it wrong the first time. =]
It can be done with any game on the vita
Personally I favor F-Zero. The gameplay is so fast and the turns can be so tight that you need hard skill to react in later tracks. As for Wipeout, it's still a good game on it's own, but in the end, the two are in their own worlds as F-Zero uses no weapons so it's easier to make graphical sacrifices and compensations that make it feel and play faster.
This game looks beutiful, pretty damn impressive for running at a steady framerate, very sharp
Funny I was gonna mention playing this game on the bus and how fricken hard it would be to "Concentrate" lol Watch me miss my stop so cause Im so caught up playing it lol
turn the volume off and listen to your ipod, mp3 etc?
@hxcmarc I'm pretty certain you don't know what that word means. 2048 isn't a remake.
my favorite racing game series
Good question...That's extremely hard to answer. Well if you're comparing N64 F-Zero to PS1 Wipeout 1 than...I still don't know. F-Zero feels like it has more speed to it and the tracks feel a bit bigger. WipEout has better style and it's easier lol. I guess it depends on the person.
@BigboiTy2010 and talk about the 7.0 for uncharted, The scores are Unbelievably Disappointing ! Never expected it to be like this, still i will get the VITA as i see a bright future for it.
better externally because remember u need room for updates as well
The load times are about HALF as long once the software is updated.
so do people play this online still?
im getting this, mvc 3, mk, the stardust game, and may buy some psp games, and gonna import my ps1 games (mgs 1 and RE 2) :D
I don't think it's necessarily Miyamotos fault
it seems that its Iwata calling the shots and games like f zero arent currently on his agenda
One of the main reasons I got this game was because Deadmau5 was in it :D
I prefer the Concepts in F-Zero, but wipEout has Weapons and HD Graphics and didn't die until recently, so...
Anyone played XGRA for the Xbox? This game reminds me so much of it and this looks like so much fun.
Where is my Assegai Sony? Its like giving me to go from being a Liverpool fan my whole life to suddenly having to wear an Arsenal shirt all day
I hope they sort out the load times. 40 seconds is unbelievably long for each event.
Solid review, thanks!
A lots of friends are cancling their pre orders for Unchated GA and getting Wipeout 2048
This will be fucking awwesome on the psvita!
I do not know how they have managed to make it look better than it already is !
Oh and first :)
If I get this game and get bored with it, I would just ask my bro to Cross-Play with me, he being PS3 and me being Vita. We'd each get our own screen and shit... that's awesome.
1:32
@Osranu me too
SONG AT THE VERY START?- CAPSLOCK ME THE SONG. CHEERS.
ikr? ive also heard "is that a PSPvita?" "hey is that the PS3 portable?" and more recently "what are you doing this is math class! give me that!".... then my teacher starts playing it all class period -_-
Damn, there must be a lot of games in that series XD
@StudioHizu ???
I really like this game. before i only played racing games with my friend but because of this i kinda like racing games :D
oops i mean you do screen capture. excuse my english. I meant a direct video feed. lol
This game looks like it plays awesome....I however would not want to spend a shit ton to get the vita though.
@Mon3teR101 Its A VITA! Holy fuck. I play my vita in school and kids are like "is that a psp? Im like NOOOOO!"
Well apparently Miyamoto no longer cares about F-Zero at all. If only Sony/Liverpool would buy it. Then they could have a crossover.
its annoying how a 2 minute ad never bufferes, but the video does
you could argue that F-zero was better up until Wipeout 2048 came out, then wipeout changed the game to make it faster and more exciting.
@YouGotxPwnd oops sorry i dunno what happenned it didnt load any of the views or comments
But i did kinda think it was odd no body had watched it :)
some chords deadmau5 4:30
getting my vita on sunday. cant fuckin wait. i wish i culd sleep til then
@dajam9035 i mean add on not icon
I like every WipEout. I first thought it was spelled WipeOut. But... xD. i still play mine on PS2
its so fast... i love it so much
O.o is that really a portable game? Looks just like wipeout on my ps3
this game is the reason i want a vita
Great review, but confusing score. The review was so lighthearted but it got a 7.0?
Whatever it's the guy reviewing that counts.
Everytime I go to watch this video there's an ad that won't load and I refreshed, gone back, closed out went back and everything, but the damn ad won't load so I can't watch the video.
Wow this reminds me so much of F-Zero from the gamecube.
is 2048 reffering to the year? If thats so then we have alot to acomplish if we want to reach these high expectations in only 36 years!
@constantin23454 I would pre-order Mortal Kombat for the vita, but that's just my opinion.
@dailymail666 it is so easy to say that knowing that it is a new games and you cant be super good at it in your first few plays
well is already free no? i have it... probably u have another store, the best part is that they give the online pass for free too
So guys who's going to be glued to the tv in 36 years? ;)
