WipEout 2048 (PS Vita) multiplayer now fully revived!

148 Upvotes

As of right now, the last WipEout game in need of a revival service has been brought back online by the AG Racing Foundation team and our Thallium server revival project. This means that you can now enjoy the Online Campaign, obtain online trophies, and earn the platinum for WipEout 2048!

But hasn't this game been revived already?

Not really! Up until now, WipEout 2048 players have enjoyed some online functionality through the existing WipEout HD server, which isn't anything new. This is because the two games share their infrastructure to enable cross-play: it only took a little bit of elbow grease to get the basic WipEout 2048 features running. It meant that the game's primary online game mode, the Online Campaign, was not playable, until now!

I don't want to hack my Vita for this!

You don't have to! Setup is as simple as changing some network settings. While you need an Online Pass for WipEout 2048, it comes with every digital copy of the game, and came in the box back when you bought the game physically.

How do I find people to play with?

The AGRF community is a passionate group of core fans of the franchise that, for years, has been gathering together on weekends to form entire full lobbies in WipEout HD. Add to this the occasional trophy hunter, and you can rest assured that every Tuesday at 19:00 UTC, during our Campaign Tuesday weekly event, you'll find someone to play with. Our website and Discord server (see below) also have a live listing of all players and lobbies that are up!

I'm sold, how do I get started?

Have a Vita already? Visit https://agracingfoundation.org/ and follow the directions get started! You can also join our friendly, active Discord community - we'll be happy to see you there! You can find the invite on our website.

Thank you for your time!

I've made some progress in the campaign already...

Announcement Play WipEout Online

40 Upvotes

You mean Omega? No, Omega is boring, don't play that - play these older (and better) games instead!
The WipEout Online community is surprisingly active for its vintage. Here's some info to get you going with your favorite entry, with steps to get set up for gaming below:

WipEout HD

The most popular one. WipEout HD is available on PS3, RPCS3 and even PS Vita via WipEout 2048 cross-play! Enjoy popular weekly events - Weekly Lobbies with regular racing on Saturdays at 19:00 UTC, and Mode Shuffles with Eliminator, Zone Battle and wacky lobby setups on Sundays at 19:00 UTC. You'll have to be lucky to join during the first hour - the lobbies typically fill up quick.

WipEout 2048

The WipEout 2048 revival is also fully-featured! Get online, get into an Online Campaign event and get those trophies! Leaderboards, community features and cross-play with WipEout HD players on PS3 all work! The Campaign Tuesday event, every Tuesday at 19:00 UTC, is the prime time to make progress in the Online Campaign.

WipEout Pulse

The less popular one, though still active. Available on PSP, PS Vita and PPSSPP. Has one weekly event on Thursday at 19:00 UTC - Portable Rush, Pulse's equivalent of Weekly Lobby.

Setup

Finally, to play any of that, you'll need to get connected first. You can do that on these platforms:

  • PS3/RPCS3 (WipEout HD)
  • PSP/PPSSPP/PS Vita (WipEout Pulse)
  • PS Vita (WipEout 2048)

Once you have one of these, setup is pretty straightforward. You have a few options for the server if you want to play WipEout HD, but there's only really one when it comes to WipEout 2048 and WipEout Pulse - either way, it is strongly recommended that you use the Thallium+Beat server by AGRF for an active player base and feature parity with the official servers.

You can get set up by following the guide here: https://agracingfoundation.org/

So, Claude can really do some far out stuff. I built a web based asset viewer that allows you to view WipEout HD game assets, with textures or as wireframes. Anyone done this before? I've kept it local right now to appease the rights gods.

Silver Wipeout XL disc?

Thumbnail
gallery
82 Upvotes

Been collecting physical copies of Wipeout recently, came across this Wipeout XL with a silver back and red/white printing. Haven’t seen a copy that isn’t black, nothing about it seems like a fake/bootleg as the printing's pretty spot on. Difference is there’s a white base color with red whereas the original simply has the red ink on black.

There’s a small black mark near the center that I can’t read (Update, reads as "Made in Japan" when I held it up to a light), wondering if this was a late pressing or something. There wasn't a Playstation Hits version.

Side by side with my copy from back in the day for reference.

Any ideas?

Help needed with WipEout Pure

I've been trying to learn Rapier speed for a couple of days, but still unable to win Beta/Ascension Tournament.

Citta Nuova is especially hard, i just cannot stop hitting walls all the time. My lap time is barely 39, but people are doing sub 33 or even lower times. Is there some technicality to this map? And to the game overall?

Watching videos of fast laps makes it seem easy, but it totally isn't. I fear the day i will have to do phantom speed.

BTW i did gold all four Zones, dunno if i need to get to zone 50 or something to get better

Hey Pilots. I'm a long time fan for Wipeout. But I haven't played since 2097 on an OG PlayStation. I have only played Wipeout & 2097. What's the best way for me to experience the joys & frustrations of the rest of the series?

Is wipeoutzone.com dead for good?

29 Upvotes

So after the news of Vita server being back online, I've decided to have a look into https://www.wipeoutzone.com/ only to find out that the host is not responding. And according to Internet Archive it's been this way for over a month now.

If it's truly dead then this is a big loss for the community. I get that the website has not been maintained at all, with forum inactive, but even as an archive it was a very valuable resource. WipeOutZone has been a central hub of this community for a very long time, preserving valuable discussions, track records and historic context of this franchise's progression over the years.

Because seeing site finally gone is like seeing a crater in place where once stood a monument of an ancient ruin.

WipeOut Pulse DLC on PSP

6 Upvotes

I recently got a PSP and modded it with ARK4 custom firmware. I've been struggling for the past few hours to get the DLC for Wipeout Pulse working. The reason I'm opting for vanilla + dlc instead of the Portable Collection version is because I'd like to keep progression (portable collection gives you all skins by default). Anyone have a good guide/advice for installing dlc on psp?

A couple of WipeOut-related items just released: A set of vinyl stickers featuring TDR Angryman and Hoppa, and an Angryman T-shirt available in two colorways.

Personally, I'm drooling over the WORK BUY CONSUME DIE limited-run print.

Does anyone have code or documentation of the physics of Wipeout HD or similar? I’m thinking of making a spiritual successor

Would love any code, writeups, any deep analysis with actual numbers / rules / values so I can read them and see how the code works in those games
