Wipeout 2048 mods series#

While IвЂ™m not a big fan of pairing off with random people online, the multiplayer is no different than playing a single-player stage. One thing that really impressed me, though, is 2048вЂs online mode implementation. Other variations of modes include single lap sprints, time trials and modifications of existing modes, such as Combat maps where you can only use mines, or races where only one class of vehicle is allowed. During Zone, your vehicle is automatically in constant acceleration while the player is simply asked to steer and survive for as long as possible, with every wall collision reducing your vehicleвЂ™s health.

Probably the most interesting and challenging mode is Zone mode. In Combat mode, the goal is to attack other races, which gives you varying points depending on what weapon was used to land a hit. The weapons themselves are nicely varied, ranging from normal rockets, missiles and cannon fire to weapons like the Leech Beam, which saps your opponentвЂ™s health while recovering your own as long as you both stay in range of each other and have noВ obstructions. While the biggest brunt of the game is spent in normal races, these often allow weapons to be used in the middle of races for added tactical advantage (think high-speed F-Zero with Mario KartвЂs item use.). Needless to say, after some time with 2048, IвЂ™m starting to wonder if I didnвЂ™t pass on WipEout HD too soon.ДЄs someone who isnвЂ™t used to the racing genre, the variety of playable modes in WipEout is nice to see. After trying out the demo for it though, the controls seemed to click with me in a way the console version didnвЂ™t, so I gave it a shot. My first real venture was as a result of WipEout HDвЂs PSN giveaway, when despite being one of the best looking games IвЂ™d seen, I mostly struggled with the game and didnвЂ™t think much of it.Дў048, part of the PS VitaвЂ™s launch lineup, didnвЂ™t seem like something IвЂ™d pick up either.

Often labeled as вЂњwhat F-Zero would look like in HDвЂќ, the WipEout series is one of which IвЂ™ve never really been a big fan.
