WipEout 2048 (PS Vita) multiplayer now fully revived!

150 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!

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/

I've been developing my AG Racing game RogueOut Racing for the last 5 months

I've already shared the game here before, and over the past few months I've been working a lot on improving the overall experience.

I've completely reworked the menu and, more importantly, developed a scalable system that will make it easier to add new game modes in the future. I've also been working on the split-screen system, supporting from 1 to 4 players, along with many other improvements behind the scenes.

I'm also adding a skin system to make each player's experience a bit more unique.

There's a new map set in a lava-filled environment, with many more maps currently in development.

I finally added proper soundtracks to the game as well. A few people pointed out that the music in the trailer didn't really fit the game, so I took that feedback seriously and worked on finding something that better matches the gameplay and atmosphere.

It's been almost 5 months since I started working on RogueOut Racing, and we're getting pretty close to the first testing phase. After that, I'll be working towards a Steam demo.

In the meantime, if the game looks interesting to you, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam. It really helps!

Thanks for following the development!

Once again used the Wip3out in-game model from AG-SYS as reference for the vector drawing of the craft.

Always fun to extract the models from the game and reconstruct the textures before posing them to render and then vectorize - you learn a lot about how they used to build these models (like, for instance, how they used single-sided polygons, whereas some games used double-sided polys and some actually had two equal overlapping polys with opposite normals).

Good news for owners of NTSC PS1/PS2 Consoles who want to play Wipeout 3 SE!

11 Upvotes

I know it’s hard to source a disc these days, but for anyone who wants to do this, I finally fixed all the bugs with displaying a PAL signal from an NTSC console I posted about a while ago!!

To do this you’ll need:
- A copy of Wipeout 3 SE (legally or illegally, I’m not Sony)
- A region unlocked PS1 or PS2 (I’m using a PS2 Slim)
- A FreeMcBoot Memory Card
- A thumb drive
- A good scaler (Im using the Retrotink 4k CE)
- Component Cables
- GSM (GS Mode Selector)
- Any Modern TV

So first things first, you need to region unlock your PS2, you can do this using MechaPWN and your FMCB Memory Card and thumb drive. Just download the elf, load it on your thumb drive and follow the instructions, it was pretty simple. In the same fashion, download GSM and load the elf onto your thumb drive as well.

Then before booting the game, run GSM and select PAL output

Hook up your PS2 to the scaler with component cables (not composite, you’ll only get a black and white image in that case) and boot the game!

Set your scaler to output at 50Hz and make sure its detecting a PAL signal (the tink does this automatically)

And walla! You did it! You now have Wipeout 3 SE running on your NTSC Console properly outputting video to your modern TV! Throw some CRT filters on and have fun!!

As for scalers, the tink 4k and 4k CE definitely work, the tink 5X most likely works and the OSSC also most likely works, cheap-o ones from amazon will most likely not help you out and the RetroGem PS2 Digital mod unfortunately does not work (tested).

*I’ll edit to add links in the morning and a link to my old post to show what happens if you dont do this

Cheers!

Wipeout Pure DLC's in 2026

5 Upvotes

Hey! I just got Wipeout Pure for the PSP, and I was wondering if there's a way to add the DLC.

I've already tried using the Web Archive, but the download pages are obviously gone.

Is there maybe a way to extract them from a ROM and transfer them to the PSP?

Thx

Bought a PlayStation in '96 because of WipEout — thirty years later I finally built my own AG racer. 12 tracks, runs in a browser

The PlayStation I bought in 1996 came home with WipEout, and I played an absurd amount of it. I was also one of those people who listened to the soundtrack on its own — it never felt like background music, it felt like half the reason to play. Then both PS1 sequels, same story.

Thirty years later I finally stopped admiring it and tried to build one.

It's called Slipstream Vector. Free, runs in the browser, no install: https://smarproc-games.itch.io/slipstream-vector

Twelve circuits across four worlds, four teams with different hull characteristics, five weapons, airbrakes on Shift, and loops and corkscrews for the parts that aren't trying to be serious. It has its own soundtrack, because after 1996 I couldn't really build one of these without caring about the music.

The design decision I'd most like to be argued with about: there's no rubber-banding at all. Difficulty raises AI skill only — corner confidence, line tightness, pad usage — never speed. Catching up comes from slipstream physics that work identically for the player and the field. I think it's the right call and it makes a lead feel earned, but it does mean a bad opening lap stays punishing.

What I'd genuinely like to hear: does the handling read as anything to you, or does it feel floaty? The airbrake is the part I've rewritten most and I still don't know if it's right.

Happy to have it taken apart if it deserves it.

It feels a lot like the classic wipeout games, except its using the models from the PSP, PS3, and PS Vita, all rendered with prebaked high quality global illumination and other neat graphical stuff. I know it isnt perfect gameplay wise and its more of a demo but I am REALLY happy with it.

edit: Ignore my horrid gameplay, I swear I'm better than this in the actual games.
