These online issues greatly detract from my ability to recommend an otherwise solid package.
Then, after finally being able to connect again, I somehow had my entire multiplayer campaign progress erased. Most commonly, when attempting to access it, I will be booted back to the main menu without any explanation. Sadly, I’ve had continuous issues with the multiplayer campaign that prevent the game from realizing its potential. There’s definitely a bit of lag, and the HD tracks seem strangely low-res on the Vita, but it’s an interesting feature nonetheless - though I personally would have liked to have seen the Cross-Play races worked into the multiplayer campaign for a more cohesive online experience. Wipeout 2048 flexes the Vita’s intriguing Cross-Play functionality by allowing you to race Wipeout HD players. You can turn around to go back the way you came or chase down an enemy, but I typically found these matches to be long and dull. Rather, you’re left to hunt each other down on the standard race courses, meaning it’s entirely likely you’ll find yourself driving in circles looking for targets while they’re on the opposite end of the track doing the same. Whoever reaches the score cap first wins, but you’re not placed in specialized arenas suited for direct skirmishes (as you would be in Mario Kart, for example). Rather than the various race modes native to the franchise, Combat requires you to attack players with weapon pick-ups to earn points. The Combat Events in particular are not a great fit for the Wipeout formula. The multiplayer campaign is much longer than the single-player and is ideally where customers will derive the greatest value from Wipeout 2048. Early on, simply surviving an event will reward you with a Pass, with Elite Passes not being much more difficult either. The online campaign differs from the single-player equivalent in that you’ll be competing against random players while attempting to achieve various goals.
Once you’re connected (or more like “if,” in my experience), a separate multiplayer campaign awaits.
