10 Best Sci-Fi Video Games You've Never Played

The Wipeout franchise has been around since 1995, with Wipeout finding exceptional success when it was released for the PlayStation and MS-DOS. Since then, eight sequels were released, and Wipeout 2048 is easily the best (and most recent) title in the series.

Wipeout 2048 is just like the ones that came before it, as it's a racing game, where players take control of ant-gravity ships that they can cruise along almost any surface, no matter if it's on the ceiling, wall, or floor. It's a fun and exciting racing game, but hardly anyone played it when it was released.

There's really just one reason for that: do you own a PlayStation Vita? Probably not since the console was a commercial failure. People don't play handheld consoles nearly as much anymore, thanks to the increasing playability of games on mobile phones, so there's a good chance you never touched a PS Vita and missed out on playing Wipeout 2048.

That's unfortunate because despite being released exclusively for that platform, Wipeout 2048 is an incredibly well-designed game. The graphics and controls are exceptional, and even though it's on a handheld system with ridiculously long loading times, it's one of those games you can sit down and play for hours at a time.

Fortunately, you can play it even if you don't have a PS Vita. Wipeout 2048 was included in the Wipeout Omega Collection, which was released on the PlayStation 4 in 2017.
