As the clock ticked ever closer to 12pm, Zohaib Ali, a 21-year-old student could hardly contain his excitement. This is a man who’d camped outside GAME Oxford Street since Sunday just so he could get his hands on a PS Vita before anyone else. Being first in line also bagged him a free copy every first party PS Vita game [...]

While lots of PS Vita games have fantastic soundtracks, there are some that include terrible noises masquerading as music (wub). Fortunately, the Vita allows you to listen to your own music while playing games.

If you’ve managed to play WipEout 2048 recently you will have noticed that the load times for events aren’t exactly what you’d call quick. Don’t worry, because help is at hand. Those clever boffins at Studio Liverpool have been beavering away on patch 1.01 which does the following: Improves load times by ~25% Enables PS3/Vita CrossPlay Adds a music track [...]

The thing that strikes you most about WipEout 2048 is how beautiful it looks and sounds. There are so many intricate details on the ships and scenery and I love the way ships expel all sorts of gases and fumes as they race.

On JISTQuantum’s YouTube channel there is a single video entitled – Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track. This video shows two wipEout type ships racing around a small-scale track (Moa Therma from wipEout Pulse) that uses a magnetic field to keep them hovering above the surface. So Sony’s started the marketing campaign for wipEout 2048 then. Good job really [...]

The soundtrack to Sony Liverpool’s WipEout 2048 game has been revealed on the Japanese PS Vita website. It’s bad news for all those CoLD SToRAGE fans, like me, who were hoping for remixes of his iconic wipEout music which accounted for 8 of the 11 tracks in the first game. Anile – Change Of Direction (WipEout mix) Camo+Krooked – Breezeblock [...]
