Wipeout 2048 - General tips and tricks

No, Elite is not a difficulty, you get Elite Pass when you complete the goal REALLY further, like finishing 1st place. If you don't Elite Pass them all, you don't get that PSVita trophy.

That is clear. I just miss the fact that you cannot set the difficulty level. Getting Elites on every event is not realistic for me. I just want to unluck the speed challenges. When I passed the final of 2049 I got access to 8 tracks on C and B speedclass. If I can get 10 tracks on C, B, and A class that would be great. I hope I can achieve that some time.

Sometimes I spent like 20 tries on a race to achieve normal or elite. Do wipeouters consider that normal?

I guess WO is just a damn hard game. But still very beautifull.

Well, I have the psone version of WO1 on the psp. But it's quite different

MarcoM, all tracks are opened for speed lap events after you complete single player campaign. You don't need elite pass each and every event for that.
Btw, if there is another altima race - I just don't remember, but there should be - with lower speed class, try it! Nail it! At lower speed this track will be easier for you, now that you tried it at higher speed.

Temet, thanks for your answer.

The first time you can race at Altima is the first race in the 2050 season. It's a 3 lapper at A speedclass. The last race is also also as speedclass A race on Altima. For normal I have to finish in 2nd place. But it is just too hard for me.

I guess in your case you can ignore all the other ships, wait for them to disappear from your view right from the start, and just start practicing on this track without anyone around.

[Temet]

I don't get it man, when you have a boost, save it for the "big jump" shortcut. This one is terrific and will save you a lot of time.
Take the first shortcut on the left at the beginning, and of course the one on the right at the end.
Absord and Barrel Roll like a freak!

[MarcoM]

I will give it a try

[chalovak]

Damn... I unlocked sol a+ challenge! Crazy stuff, but so satisfying. Still, got problems with a left section right after the first fork. Sometimes my ship just goes flying unable to land. This is the only place on this track I suck at. Need a heavier ship, I guess.

[OveReAction]

Try a Fighter ship. It's not that fast, but it's weight beats it all.

[chalovak]

Had this thoughts, I'll try it today.

PS. I like this thread, maybe we should rename it into 2048: Tips & Tricks and stick it? MarcoM, what do you think about renaming?

OK, not sure if I can do that myself.

[MarcoM]

DAMN IT. I was lying in 1st, then a little shunt with the wall, my bad, and then in the last stretch 2 Piranhas overtake me. Happend 2 times during my 2 hours of effort.

I seriously think the AI is unfair.

Frustrated

You rename it by editing your first post.
The subject field should be editable.

I can edit the post, but the subject field remains uneditable.

Hey, MarcoM, how are the things with Altima?
What if I create an Altima (A class) race party and invite you, do you think it might help you with your practise on this track?
How about today's evening?

[OveReAction]

You can't create the game and customize the race settings in online mode on 2048. You just get directly to a random lobby after selecting a node. But Speed Lap is the only option cause it's a perfect mode for practice and has infinite number of laps.

[chalovak]

Doesn't Party let you create custom online races?

Guess what: I did it!!! On my first try this morning I became 3rd. On my second run, I was in 1st in lap 3. I kept cool and kept position. YEeeeeHAAAA

Thanks all for bearing with me.

Now at least I can do time trials on a b c levels and on all tracks. I wonder how A+ is. I kinda am used to A speed class now.

[chalovak]

Hah! Congratulations!!!

Well, that's how 2048 works. At least for me.
At first even C class was surprisingly fast, but now all these A+ challenges seem beatable. ) You literally feel how you evolve (wipeout wise, of course) with this game, lol.
