Wipeout 2048 Beginners Tutorial

[dontmindlosing]

This is awesome! Thank you! Are you going to do additional videos for each 2048 track like you did for HD? That would be an invaluable resource.

It's done! My first video in a couple of years and one I've wanted to do for ages. Without a reliable means of recording good quality stuff from the Vita I had to let this video pass me by, but now the Omega Collection is out I could finally put together a beginners guide to Wipeout 2048. Have a look below

I watched this one the the other day after picking up the Omega Collection. I never owned a Vita, so I think it might just be the only WipEout I never played before. I also subscribed to your channel after watching this one, and noticing your rather impressive collection of WipEout videos.

While I have been playing the WipEout series since 1995, 2048 has been the toughest of the lot for me to master. So, thank you for taking the time to put this tutorial together.

It was actually through your YT channel that I discovered these boards. I've always enjoyed your videos and this one is no exception, even though I'm no stranger to 2048.

Great vid Hellman, even the old wolf that I am learnt a few things

Very interesting! Maybe I should have done that section in Combat mode as there's a much more noticeable difference between the ships

[GBalao888]

A few more hidden secrets that I discovered were about the prototype ships.

Both the F.E.I.S.A.R. and AG Systems prototype ships share the same firepower at C (60).

The Qirex Prototype shares the same durability as the Auricom Fighter, which means it has the strongest shielding in the game, with a Health rating of 100.

The Auricom Prototype is actually as durable as the AG Systems Agility and the Qirex Speed with a Health rating of C- (50) (one hit from a Plasma would cause similar damage to how it would be like in either the two ships), and the only reason why others would think is a tough craft is because of its regenerating shield energy and the fact that it won't get slowed down or shifted off by any impacts and/or collisions. It also has similar firepower to the original Auricom Fighter and because of the handling, we can assume the handling is similar to the Pir-hana Fighter with a Handling rating of E (30).

The Pir-hana Prototype has a similar durability to the AG Systems Speed due to the lighter figure (one hit from a missile towards the Pir-hana Prototype produces similar damage to how it would do to the AG Systems Speed), with a Health rating of E (30) and similar firepower to the original Pir-hana Speed at B- (70).
