Likewise, few of the unlockable extras from those titles (such as new HUD skins) are to be found. None of the music from HD or HD Fury is included, which is a missed opportunity to refresh 2048's playlist. Not everything from the games on which this DLC is based comes with the download, though. It's a welcome addition, but getting into matches is still a little cumbersome. The Cross-Play mode, in which you can take on PlayStation 3 owners in online multiplayer, now has more tracks than before. Zone Battle also places you back on the stylised stark neon Zone Mode courses, but this time you're up against competitors in a battle to increase your speed category beyond theirs, achieving a specific number of Zones before they do. Detonator for example showcases the increased emphasis on combat, as you whip around tracks at increasing speed shooting stationary targets for high scores. New modes further expand on the standard races, time trials and ultra fast Zone Mode of 2048. If you're finding the earlier, much slower races a bore then you can jump straight into the eye-bleedingly fast upper tiers, returning to mop up the rest later. To counterbalance this spike in dif all of the leagues are unlocked from the off. The difficulty appears to be tweaked more towards the hardcore WipEout crowd, with competitors aggressively jostling for position within the pack, and podium places separated by a couple of seconds at most. These HD and Fury tracks are notably tighter than the contingent from 2048.Ĭonsequently, the racing is busier, wilder, and (especially on the Fury tracks) a lot more violent. However, it's also worth bearing in mind that the course designs in WipEout 2048 and the PlayStation 3 outings are markedly different in focus. And, actually, the majority of them were re-imaginings of tracks from WipEout Pure and Pulse anyway. Though this content is new to Vita owners, the tracks have all been seen before on the PlayStation 3 as part of WipEout HD and its expansion WipEout HD Fury. Now Studio Liverpool is offering another 24 standard tracks and four Zone Mode courses, plus additional craft, two full-length campaigns, and access to an expanded Cross-Play experience. It was a bold new vision for the futuristic fictional motorsport, with loads of tracks, gorgeous design, and racing that was among the most thrilling to be found on any portable. WipEout 2048 is currently the premier racer on Vita, nabbing an impressive Silver Award when it was released at launch.
