"The pieces of a tremendous Wipeout game are present in 2048, but it's hard to look past the game's annoying interface, wicked-long load screens, and underwhelming sense of speed."
WipEout 2048
Sony's flagship future racing series is one of the launch games available for Sony's PlayStation Vita.
Overview
Like the other Wipeout games propel players at breakneck speeds around many courses. The games tracks run through more city and urban environments giving it a more modern feel other than the fact you are still piloting advanced, jet propelled hover vehicles. 2048 is also stated to have interconnecting game play between the Vita and the PS3 platform. Multi-player is said to be able to occur between both platforms so a person on the PS3 can play the same race with a Vita owner.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack is a mix of old versus new tracks from the Wipeout universe, featuring remixes of classic song from the series, including a 2011 rebuilt of "We Have Explosives".

A Facebook page had originally been created demanding the game to have songs from Tim Wright (Person), also known as CoLD SToRAGE, whose songs were prominent in the very first Wipeout game. Even though it isn't the case, the composer promised to create new songs for the game's launch.
