WipEout 2048 Bringing the Birth of Anti-grav Racing to PS Vita

+ Posted by James Gallagher

wipeout_FEATURED

The WipEout series is synonymous with PlayStation hardware launches and so there’s a warm feeling of familiarity to knowing that WipEout 2048 is coming to PlayStation Vita during the launch window.

The game focuses on the birth of Anti-grav racing and the Liverpool Studio team is keen to focus on how the architecture of the futuristic city shapes both look and gameplay. I caught up with Graeme Ankers and Stuart Tilley out in the sunshine between presentations.

It’s fantastic to see a new WipEout game on its way, particularly one that is looking to take the series in a new direction. We already know that it will support cross platform play allowing Vita and PS3 players to go head-to-head online and I’ve just learned that the soundtrack – a vital ingredient in the WipEout DNA – features new remixes of Underworld and Leftfield tracks from the original game, as well as a new track from Deadmau5.

Wipeout Your PS3 Opponents On NGP

+ Posted by Rey Gutierrez

wipeout

As a fan of arcade racers and an evangelist for all things fast, my face melted off with a recent build of Wipeout (working title) specifically built from the ground up for NGP.

Game director, Stu Tilley promises the biggest Wipeout experience to date; with ten brand new tracks, 20 brand new ships, new game modes and weapons. My favorite feature and new to PlayStation, is cross-platform-gaming. Load up your copy of Wipeout HD on your PS3 and you’ll be able to race up against seven NGP opponents in online multiplayer sessions. Mix and match the variety of PS3s and NGPs racers however you like, bringing the world of Wipeout seamlessly together with the power PSN.

Learn more details in the video above, which also showcases how Tilley and his team took advantage of NGP’s touch technology, dual cameras and built-in gyros.
