Should a player's craft explode in an online race, it will reappear on the track moments later (as opposed to forcing the player to drop out of the race as in offline play). A lobby system allows players to search for and join either Single Races or Tournament races. In addition to offline play, Wipeout HD offers an eight-player online mode. Whereas gameplay settings in Campaign mode are predetermined, they are completely customizable to the player in Racebox mode. As the player progresses from easier events to harder ones, tracks and teams are unlocked for use in the separate Racebox mode, in which players can play one-off arcade-style races, either in single-player or two player split-screen modes. Graphic equalizers appear on the race course and in the surrounding scenery, displaying waveforms for the currently playing audio track.Įach race type can be found in the single-player Campaign mode, which is a series of 87 different race scenarios. The environments are stripped of texture and are replaced by simple colour palettes that change as the player reaches new zones. The audio/visual atmosphere during Zone mode differs greatly from regular play.
As the player's craft automatically passes through higher "zones", or categories of speed, the player must continue to navigate the course until their energy runs out and the craft explodes. Finally, the unique Zone mode, first introduced in Wipeout Fusion, automates the player's acceleration control, progressively moving the craft at higher speeds. In the Speed Lap and Time Trial modes, the player races alone in an attempt to beat the clock. Single Race is a straight-forward start-to-finish race against seven other competitors, while Tournament is a series of consecutive races won by having the highest aggregate score. There are five main race types in Wipeout HD: Single Race, Tournament, Speed Lap, Time Trial, and Zone. The player pilots an anti-gravity craft, selected from one of several teams and, depending on the game mode, competes using speed and weaponry in an attempt to beat the competition. Gameplay is largely similar to that of previous Wipeout titles.
