It connects quickly and you can play with several people on Vitas or PS3s. I didn’t have any lag whatsoever when playing my friend in the same room or a random player over the Internet in some distant location. It feels great and has no detectable lag. I recommend this game type for the strict racer. The most outstanding feature about this game’s multiplayer is the Cross Play, the cross-platform online multiplayer feature. When you get eight players matched up, it really changes the dynamics and even the lesser skilled with good aim and some lucky weapons can win a few races. While a fun game type, it isn’t one to play with a small group. Now the racing as usual for the series will require you to battle while paying attention to the boosts and weapons flying in your ship’s direction. I could see this game type becoming the most popular. When being chased, go for a defensive pick-up and outsmart that noob on your tail. The game favors knowing your weapon’s strengths and playing with strategy. Granted, combat does have a short learning curve mainly the weapons, but you’ll pick it up fast. The tracks really force you to play carefully to avoid hitting walls and diminishing your ship’s health before it explodes. Wipeout is known for the tight turns and quick gameplay and in the combat mode it shines. Combat matches end so quickly that it will leave you wanting more. Kills aren’t required but they do raise your score faster and bring excitement to the game. To score points you have to get pick-ups and hit other ships with various weapons. Of the two game types, combat is probably going to get more players due to it being a fast paced arcade mode. This significantly offers replay value for those that crave 100% completion or love a good challenge. The challenges when completed open up other tracks of increasing difficulty and some reward you with winner’s cups. Occasionally, you get hit with a score or placing objective. The goals usually are to complete the race or to hit a racer with a weapon. This leads to an interesting dynamic and opens up choice for different play styles. To keep things interesting, players are given challenges to complete while trying to win. Obviously, the defensive weapons help you protect your position and the offensive weapons allow you to gain positions in the race. The tilting motion controls feel clumsy and the novelty isn’t going to help you win. Tracks are now equipped with defensive weapon pick-ups and offensive weapon pick-ups. To survive and have a shot at winning, you’ll want to stick to the manual controls. In combat the objective is to destroy other racer’s ships and avoid hitting the walls and destroying your car until you get a kill. The tracks in the game are just as unforgiving as Wipeout players have come to expect and you will need to have your finger close to the air brake. The online multiplayer campaign is a combination of two things it involves races and combat. Is it still as fun as it always has been? Wipeout 2048 was one of a handful of launch titles to ship with multiplayer ready to go on the Play Station Vita. If you are a racing fan, you will probably be picking up Wipeout 2048, or at the very least, thinking about it. This is the ninth installment in the Wipeout series.
