     **WipEout 2048** is an original anti-gravity combat racing video game developed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psygnosis|Studio Liverpool]] for the PlayStation® Vita. It features brand new content in the form of 10 original tracks and 20 ships, a new single player campaign and online campaign, as well as content from [[wipeout_series:wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]] in the form of Cross-Play Multiplayer and later Downloadable Content that added the HD and Fury campaigns into the game. It is the eighth mainline installment in [[:wipeout_series|the WipEout series]], and was mostly well-received by reviewers, though criticized by fans for lack of several long-standing features present in previous games. **WipEout 2048** is an original anti-gravity combat racing video game developed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psygnosis|Studio Liverpool]] for the PlayStation® Vita.

     +====Overview====
     **WipEout 2048's** **Online Campaign** works similarly to the **Single Player Campaign** in that you have a set of events with each event having a **Pass** and **Elite Pass** objective. However, the **Online Campaign** forgoes branches, instead having 20 continuous **Levels** consisting of various amounts of events, beating an event or failing the same event 3 times unlocks the next event in line. **WipEout 2048's** **Online Campaign** works similarly to the **Single Player Campaign** in that you have a set of events with each event having a **Pass** and **Elite Pass** objective.

     +====Glory Moment Photos====
     +[{{ wipeout_series:glory_moment_example.jpg?500vh|Example of results screen photos}}]
     +At the start of every **multiplayer race** the game will prompt the player to take a photo using the PlayStation® Vita's **front-facing camera**. The player can either cancel the photo or let the 5 second timer run out to opt-out of this feature. 
     +
     +If the player DOES take a photo, they and others who chose to take one will be able to witness each other's **"Glory Moments"**. 
     +
     +**"Glory Moments"** include:
     +  * Getting destroyed by a player;
     +  * Losing to first place;
     +  * Podium screen.
     +
     +Playing on a PlayStation® TV system will cause the game to crash upon reaching the photo prompt. To fix this, one must jailbreak the system and install a plugin to fake the camera's output.

     =====Cross-Play===== =====Cross-Play=====
    -...+**Cross-Play** is an online multiplayer mode that allows PlayStation® Vita and PlayStation® 3 players to compete against each other using content from [[wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]]. 
     + 
     +Out of the box the game provides the player with 4 tracks (**Vineta K**, **Anulpha Pass**, **Moa Therma**, and **Chenghou Project**) and 5 HD-variant ships ([[teams:feisar#in_wipeout_hd|Feisar]], [[teams:ag_systems#in_wipeout_hd|AG Systems]], [[teams:qirex#in_wipeout_hd|Qirex]], [[teams:auricom#in_wipeout_hd|Auricom]], and [[teams:piranha#in_wipeout_hd|Piranha]]) from [[wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]], with more tracks and ships being available via **Expansion packs** (FIXME add link). 
     + 
     +The experience of playing **Cross-Play** isn't too different from playing WipEout HD's Multiplayer Mode, with the exception of **Rank Progression** and lack of certain options available to the lobby host.
