The port is as immaculate as you could hope for, and it's faithful enough to make the Vita version of WipEout arguably the most comprehensive installment of the series to date. So for anyone left pining for a more traditional WipEout fix on the Vita, this is a perfect solution, with each and every event from the PlayStation 3's HD and Fury moving across to the handheld. Technically it showed what the Vita was capable of, but the heady heights that WipEout's racing is capable of weren't quite prevalent enough. The near-future aesthetic was a welcome rethink, but some of the resultant tracks were left feeling cluttered and cumbersome, while an eager fistful of on-track visual effects only added to the confusion. There are too many tracks added in the new pack to list here, but Sol 2 and Chenghou Project emerge looking more handsome than most. Lost in the noise, though, was some of the purity of purpose that had always marked out WipEout as a racer of class and distinction, the newfound focus on combat making for a game that some - myself included - felt fell some way short of the excellence for which WipEout is renowned. WipEout 2048 was always going to be a technical showcase for Sony's new handheld at the time of its birth, and the prequel of sorts to the long-running futuristic series certainly ticked that box well enough, hurling no small amount of colourful chaos onto that glorious OLED screen. The developer's spell on the Vita is displaying a similar spirit, although admittedly the foundations aren't quite as strong this time round.

And if you have a Bluetooth headset, it’s pretty painless to get it to work on the PSN if you want to chat.Studio Liverpool's had a history of generosity, whether that's in how it managed to hand over 1080p 60fps racing at a cut-down price with the original WipEout HD or how it followed up that incredible game with a full-blown sequel in little over six months. If a race is in progress, you’ll have to spectate until the next race, but the races are short and few games make for spectating as sexy as Wipeout HD. Go to “Online”, then “Join Game”, then check the races on the list to find the one hosted by “tomchick”. Then I’ll host races limited to friends only. Just add tomchick to your friends list on the Playstation Network before the starting time on Wednesday. The races will begin on Wednesday, October 5th at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern and will last for at least two hours. Consider enabling the pilot assist mode to help you from hitting walls, which is the exact thing you don’t want to do in this game. Wipeout is a game about maglev hovercraft thingies, after all. The controls might feel weirdly floaty depending on which ship you take. There are only ten, and you’ll want to get a sense for what each one does before jumping into a race. While you’re there, look over the icons for the different pick-ups. I’ll briefly explain the modes from the lobby, but the guide you can access from the main screen features a description in the “Race Types” section. Eliminator is scored based on damage and kills against other ships and Zone Battle is a trippy cyberrific risk/reward calculation about who can build up the most speed while dropping barricades on the field to mess up the other races. We’ll play some regular races on the more forgiving speed classes, but we’ll also try Fury’s Eliminator and Zone Battle modes. But there are Mario Kart style power-ups that help level the playing field. In multiplayer, it basically comes down to who knows the track best. Wipeout in general, and HD’s Fury add-on in specific, is some of the most thrilling sexysleek sci-fi combat racing you will ever do. You did get your copy of Wipeout HD and the Fury add-on, didn’t you?

This week, we’re revisiting a Playstation 3 exclusive that was made available free as part of Sony’s apology for the Playstation Network being closed for so long. Thanks to our continuing grant from the National Foundation for the Preservation of Old Videogames, our “Help Wanted” program is now in its second week.
