Just mentioned this last page but it got lost in a sea of responses. Give me an "error connecting to server" response. Don't have any idea what the problem could be.
ReconPeon. And yea, I cant connect to any internet games either... its weird.OneMoreQuestion

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I think it's pretty likely that the Wipeout HD/Fury "DLC" is already present on 2048 because it's the same models and tracks that they use for CrossPlay right?

Welp, picked up the game off the PSN. Which controls are best for beginner? I went with the L/R for L/R brakes, X for accelerate, square for weapons, and O for absorb pickup?
Are the L/R brakes for making tight turns? I don't play many racing games so I'm not sure.
Also, I'll add a few PST people later so if you get a PSN request from nya_08, it's me. :x

I played the demo a few more times and the "Wipeout" control scheme makes all the difference. I have no idea why that isn't the default. But once I started using it, winning the race wasn't an issue. Whereas before I really struggled to place.
Anyway, already have a copy of 2048 and it sits there mocking me as I wait for Wednesday to arrive.

I heard the patch is out? How much improved are the load times?

Not significant, from what I've read. Instead of waiting 48 seconds you might wait 40.
Has anyone else had issues connecting online? I had success on the first day, but since then it simply doesn't work. When I select multiplayer and press on an event it loads for 10 seconds and then drops me back to the main menu.
The map system here, however, is large and enjoyable to navigate. There's no medals this time, rather, two completion grades (regular and elite). Each hex is a single event and there are branching paths that lead to events marked with trophies or new ships. It just flows really nicely. It reminds me a bit of the Explorer from Ridge Racer 6 but even better as the touch interface works really well.
You also level up and unlock new ships. Multiplayer events, which I've had issues getting to due to connection errors, are actually really neat as well, from what I can tell. There is an event grid like single player and each event has its own objectives that you have to complete each race. So even if you do not finish first, you can still finish the event and move on. It feels like a hybrid of single player and multiplayer.
Also, while the loading for a race is typically lengthy, once you're finished with an event it immediately jumps back to the menu and menu navigation is load free so the game still manages to feel polished.
This is my favorite Wipeout game thus far. As much as I loved the PSP games and HD I actually prefer the types of tracks presented here as they are longer, more dramatic, and actually play well with the scenery. That was one element of Wipeout Fusion that I enjoyed but this plays much nicer than Fusion.
It feels great to me. Wipeout Pure through HD never grabbed me in that regard. It felt like a grind especially when chunks of races were stuck together.

Sooooo good. I thought the game was too hard, but after trying again and again, Elited 2048.
I'm sure it's going to get harder for the next years.

A developer from Studio Liverpool showed up to the UK Vita launch in Wipeout cosplay.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
my eyes...
Are you stuck with Feisar for the first few races? Cant quite workout why it wont let me select others.

Yeah, you start out with just Feisar and then unlock different ones as you progress.

Secret events get unlocked when you progress further into the game, both in the campaign as well as in rank. Don't waste your time scanning the background until you receive notification that new secret events are available.
As for the AR mode, I don't know. I've never seen it and I've had the game since day one... just over a month now.
I wonder if it's even in the game. I just asked the WO2048 twitter about it, let's see if they respond.

Yes it is, but wrong thread. lol
Anyway, I didn't know we had a PSN name list in the OP. Add me, please? PSN is Revolutionary. EST
Well, you've unlocked prototype challenges have you not? Those count as secret events! lol
I think the A+ secret challenges start to pop up around rank 20-25, can't remember for sure.
The events on the bottom left are purely for speed lap purposes and competing with friends - they don't have anything to do with unlocks, as far as I know. I may be wrong though because I've barely touched them.
i only unlocked the first prototype event that is touching the wiepout 2048 logo. i'm looking for the others and nothing has popped up since. i've completed the campaign and everything ughhhhh AHHHHHHHHHH GAHHHH UGH.
maybe it is tied to your rank. mine is only 19. i'll start playing some online.
This explains the AR mode situation:
It's not in the game!...well, yet.
Good to know. It looked very cool when it was shown in some sizzle reel or trailer.

I feel like the online isn't very well thought out. Frustrating that it just dumps you in a room, doesn't say how long a race will last, just that it's ongoing. Took forever to get into that first race, then it's the combat mode (which feels blah and takes ages with just the four other people spread out all over the rather long track). Dumps you back into the lobby after the race, people slowly quit out as nobody is getting put in the lobby and there aren't enough players to start the next race...

Was a bit aggrieved with the initial controls until I found the "wipeout" option in settings and got things back to normal.
Disabled pilot assist as well, so now I'm in the "ping-pong" phase as I learn the tracks. Maybe I'm getting too old for wipeout, but I'm getting my ass kicked at the moment.
Love the way the game looks though. It's certainly an impressive launch title for the vita, and it feels like wipeout. The more "retro" aesthetic as the world is going through the AG change is nice as well, flying over normal roads (and grass!), as well as the initial steps towards the wipeout track layouts. Really nice design.

This game is so badass so far. I'm creaming all of the earlier stages but the tracks, the ost and the handling are classic wipeout. The framerate seems to be steady, it's not 60FPS which sucks but at least it runs at a solid 30FPS without drops most of the time.
