Wipeout 2048 - General tips and tricks

[MarcoM]

Have you turned of Pilot Assist? It slows you down significantly...

Thank you for making me even feel worse. Yes I did turn it off




More practice then.


Thanks Chalovak for the list. I have some things to do then.

Sorry, just wanted to help you...
Try the Pir-Hana Speed for that, I won with it.

so I need to use the shortcuts more and do less wall grinding, should be easy NOT


When do you get access to the A+ challenges?

Dpad or stick??? For now I use the Dpad, but I see many fast guys on youtube using the stick? Is the stick faster?

[chalovak]

Try Qirex speed, handling is better than the one of Pirahna.
Try this track at lower speed class first to nail the first shortcut,it will give one additional barrel roll and it will come in handy if you are willing to get the Beat Zico trophy in the future.
Don't try to repeat all the BRs shown on the video, for example the last one - is not mandatory to win the race, others are pretty simple to perform.
Good luck.

In A andn A+, on Altima, I would bet on an AG-S Speed

[PureSpeed7]

For the 2050 final, I used the AG Systems speed. (as usual) And my strategy was to use PURE SPEED (extremely bad joke) meaning I absorbed any offencive weapon I could get my hand on (unless there was someone in front of me) and barrel rolled every chance I got. This strategy made me win by 4 secounds first try.

How can I try Altima on a lower speed class if I have not beaten the 2050 final event?

And that is why I miss racebox so badly.

With WipEout 1 and a Playstation!

A+ challenges open after 25+ rank. With each rank you get new challenge.

As for usage of stick or d-pad, I prefer the letter, for it gives me better control of steering, stick is too loose for me. But I am no super racer, maybe I'm wrong. )))

Qirex speed is faster and Altima is not the track where handling is of top priority. And qirex speed's handling is ok anyway. IMHO, of course. )))

Well, I am still on rank 13. So it will take some time.

Thing is, I only started playing WO on the psp with Pure. Wen GTpsp came out I switched to that. But after many years grinding the Nurnburgring, I really love WO 2048.

I did play WO hd for quite some time, but getting some TV time with 2 young kids is not always easy

Thank you for answering. The reward / unlocking in WO 2048 is a bit fuzzy and hard to understand. Hard, just as the game itself. But every time I boot WO 2048 I am amazed at the stunning visuals. It is the best looking Vita game.

G-Superpilot, Mad-Ice, Leungbok and Asayyeah use D-Pad, they are quite fast too

Chalovak : depends on the people. I personally hate the Qirex, it's a fat and heavy ship, I prefer light ones such as Feisar or Ag-S speed

OK, but when is the Pir-Hana: Speed - Successfully complete the 2050 ship unlock event?
