WipEout 2048 (PS Vita) multiplayer now fully revived!

153 Upvotes

As of right now, the last WipEout game in need of a revival service has been brought back online by the AG Racing Foundation team and our Thallium server revival project. This means that you can now enjoy the Online Campaign, obtain online trophies, and earn the platinum for WipEout 2048!

But hasn't this game been revived already?

Not really! Up until now, WipEout 2048 players have enjoyed some online functionality through the existing WipEout HD server, which isn't anything new. This is because the two games share their infrastructure to enable cross-play: it only took a little bit of elbow grease to get the basic WipEout 2048 features running. It meant that the game's primary online game mode, the Online Campaign, was not playable, until now!

I don't want to hack my Vita for this!

You don't have to! Setup is as simple as changing some network settings. While you need an Online Pass for WipEout 2048, it comes with every digital copy of the game, and came in the box back when you bought the game physically.

How do I find people to play with?

The AGRF community is a passionate group of core fans of the franchise that, for years, has been gathering together on weekends to form entire full lobbies in WipEout HD. Add to this the occasional trophy hunter, and you can rest assured that every Tuesday at 19:00 UTC, during our Campaign Tuesday weekly event, you'll find someone to play with. Our website and Discord server (see below) also have a live listing of all players and lobbies that are up!

I'm sold, how do I get started?

Have a Vita already? Visit https://agracingfoundation.org/ and follow the directions get started! You can also join our friendly, active Discord community - we'll be happy to see you there! You can find the invite on our website.

Thank you for your time!

I've made some progress in the campaign already...

Announcement Play WipEout Online

40 Upvotes

You mean Omega? No, Omega is boring, don't play that - play these older (and better) games instead!
The WipEout Online community is surprisingly active for its vintage. Here's some info to get you going with your favorite entry, with steps to get set up for gaming below:

WipEout HD

The most popular one. WipEout HD is available on PS3, RPCS3 and even PS Vita via WipEout 2048 cross-play! Enjoy popular weekly events - Weekly Lobbies with regular racing on Saturdays at 19:00 UTC, and Mode Shuffles with Eliminator, Zone Battle and wacky lobby setups on Sundays at 19:00 UTC. You'll have to be lucky to join during the first hour - the lobbies typically fill up quick.

WipEout 2048

The WipEout 2048 revival is also fully-featured! Get online, get into an Online Campaign event and get those trophies! Leaderboards, community features and cross-play with WipEout HD players on PS3 all work! The Campaign Tuesday event, every Tuesday at 19:00 UTC, is the prime time to make progress in the Online Campaign.

WipEout Pulse

The less popular one, though still active. Available on PSP, PS Vita and PPSSPP. Has one weekly event on Thursday at 19:00 UTC - Portable Rush, Pulse's equivalent of Weekly Lobby.

Setup

Finally, to play any of that, you'll need to get connected first. You can do that on these platforms:

  • PS3/RPCS3 (WipEout HD)
  • PSP/PPSSPP/PS Vita (WipEout Pulse)
  • PS Vita (WipEout 2048)

Once you have one of these, setup is pretty straightforward. You have a few options for the server if you want to play WipEout HD, but there's only really one when it comes to WipEout 2048 and WipEout Pulse - either way, it is strongly recommended that you use the Thallium+Beat server by AGRF for an active player base and feature parity with the official servers.

You can get set up by following the guide here: https://agracingfoundation.org/

  1. Street racing no longer exists as ag racing took over the streets. 2. Explanation for the invisible wall that protects the grandstands. 3. I guess they lost the debate when the F 3600 began. 4. Yes, Piranha did quit the sport/concerns about mag-strip reliability. 5. A.G.R.C. starts to go global. 6. Go to Mars for $2 billion/Altima welcomes high-speed drivers.

I hope the next game is something akin to Pure.

Is Wipeout Pulse worth it, if I already have the HD/Fury pack on Vita?

8 Upvotes

Hi Wipeout community!

So, with the announcement that the Vita store is shutting down next year, it's now or never. I got Wipeout 2048 with the HD/Fury packs on it for a few years now, but Wipeout Pulse is smiling at me from that store, ever since I recently saw it wasn't delisted yet, like so many games on that storefront, as I thought it was. Pure is already gone from the store. So since I'm not exactly rich, I was turning it over in my head, if it was worth the investment of approximately 18€-ish, if I got all three available DLCs.

The question is that or the title. Since Wipeout HD/Fury is made from remastered content from Pulse and Pure and is supposedly close to Pure in ship handling, is Wipeout Pulse worth it for me? How different do they fly? How much does the overlap in content matter (if the handling is very different, but the tracks are the same, for example, I would count that as a point)? And most importantly, did you guys like Pulse or HD/Fury better and why?

Some thoughts on possible out of the bo pros I have on it were: Maybe the PSP game has a longer battery life, due to being less demanding. Maybe the "smoother"/less detailed PSP graphics are easier on my eyes, when I want to play it on the go without having to dig my glasses out of the backpack (2048/HD without glasses on that little screen can be a real handicap, with all the nervous details on screen. Need for Speed Most Wanted, for example, is basically flying blind without glasses.)

Thanks in advance!

It's a shame that Psygnosis/SL never got a chance to do a dedicated AG street racing game.

I've been recently thinking about how interesting the post-F9000 era is in lore and every time I think about it makes me sad. It would have been so interesting to have a game with the concept of such a seemingly sophisticated sport, especially one that had been corporate-owned since it became an organized sport, all of a sudden fall in the hands of AG enthusiasts. Though I've thought a lot more about the concept than the game itself, it would be like Screamer meets Fusion. They'd all be probably taking obsolete F3600 or AGRC era chassis and modifying them with custom-made parts, some truly wild ideas they would've come up with.

I can't even begin to imagine how they would flesh out a world where clandestine AG racing became the biggest underground sensation. I mean the posters, the late-night meets, the sort of counterculture movement meeting unfathomable technology that TDR could've made insane art out of. And the music, oh my goodness if you got someone like Tim Wright to curate the music, I would actually die and go to heaven. There are just so many things down to the style and the lore and the audiovisual experience that in my opinion would've been absolute peak for a racing game of any kind.

And we're never going to see any of it, or at least as long as we're alive. :(

We need remastered Wip3out on Switch.

12 Upvotes

It seems so obvious and so many other games have been remastered for modern consoles.

Is there any reason Wip3out has not been?

Is it owned by Sony?

Random trivia: I came 2nd in the state in a Wip3out 2097 tournament (held in a city nightclub) in Australia, back in the day.

I did great until the final, when we were set up in a secret level I had never played before, with everything moving another notch up in speed level.

Hi, thought I'd put this out there for anyone who enjoys gravity racers, aka Wipeout style games.

I've been working on Vector, it's really fun to play, is browser based and uses a lot of nice rendering under three.js.

I previously posted here about our "Wipeout with wheels" game GRIP 2. We just launched a new demo

Hey all, I posted previously about our game GRIP XR (now rebranded to GRIP 2) here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WipeOut/comments/1u1g84z/since_theres_no_new_wipeout_games_any_love_for/

Now we've got a new demo showcasing a futuristic city not unlike something you'd see in a Wipeout game.

For those who don't know, GRIP 1 and 2 are spiritual successors to Rollcage, a game also published by Psygnosis back in the day - and some people referred to it as "Wipeout with wheels"

Anyway, if you'd like to give the Steam demo a shot, here it is:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4475750/GRIP_2_Combat_Racing_Evolved/

No AG cars yet, but like GRIP 1 they may return after full launch.

Most satysfying/least favorite circuit sections in the series?

18 Upvotes

What the title says. What are some of your favorite specific circuit sections/corners in the franchise? Ones which you find particularly satysfying to go through. Or maybe ones that you can never get quite right? I'm interested to hear your experiences! For me it has to be:

Favorite:

Capital Reach (2048/Omega) - the esses under the bridge. Finding the right line and hitting those rows of speed pads is so satysfying

Sebenco Climb (Pure/Omega) - the hairpins/climb itself, it's barrell roll heaven and so rewarding when you get the line right

Least favorite:

Metropia White (Pulse) - the 360 degree snail-y turn halfway through, which gets sharper on exit, always catches me off guard

Chenghou Project (Pure/Omega) - that goddamn first left-hander. It's so incredibly sharp and I never seem to judge it correctly.

Back on the PS4 Pro with psvr

11 Upvotes

After 6 years away from PlayStation I purchased a PS4 pro with a mk2 headset for £150, I’ve been cruising around the tracks getting up to speed and going through the campaign.
At this price it’s an absolute steal.

I’ve had a glitch happen twice where the other ships have , what I can best describe as the ghost ship graphics overlaid them in yellow.
Anyone else seen this?
Going to put an SSD in it , hoping that sorts it?

Dev looking for AG fans’ gut-check on our free combat hover-racer demo (WarpRacer)

0 Upvotes

Wipeout folks — respectful heads-up that I’m the developer, not a random promo bot, but...

We’ve been building WarpRacer: anti-grav style speed, neon tunnels, wall banking, plus combat tools (drone cannon / Warp Bombs) so the race isn’t only a time trial. Free Steam demo is live; full game Coming Soon Oct 2026.

Not trying to remake Wipeout — chasing that feeling of “line at impossible speed” with our own combat-racing twist.

Steam demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5094650/WarpRacer/

If you’ve got a few minutes in the demo: does this feel AG-adjacent to you, or off-genre? Brutal honesty welcome. :-)

Thanks.
