    With more and more reviews being released, I thought there might be a bit more information out there, somewhere, for the following aspects of Pulse...

    1. Does Wipeout Pulse feature the "Free Play" mode? I love lap time trials and this mode has become my favorite way to play Wipeout.

    2. As I understand, each team now has a zone ship version. Are zone ships ever play-able outside of zone mode? I'm curious if there will be a low-shield, high-speed version of the vehicle for each team.

    3. Do we have any more indication about how leaderboards will work?

    Those are three very valid questions.

    I am ASSUMING that the free play feature will return in the racebox mode, but there hasn't been any obvious word of it, as the average gamer wouldn't bother with it.

    As for the other two questions, i wouldn't have a clue! I guess we will have to wait a week or so for some more answers.

    1. Nope, unfortunately, there is no free play as such. Speed Lap is what you got now and it works the same, but lasts only for a fixed seven laps.

    2. Nope, no Zone ship as well. Which is to say: You race with one of your regular craft in Zone Mode. After collecting enough loyalty points for a certain ship (you do that by using it in any race) you unlock the skin which is otherwise used only when racing zone.

    3. Rob does. I suppose. ;-)

    No Zone ships?
    That's odd. I seem to remember spending a helluva long time designing those. Must've dreamt it...

    Thanks for the information, G'Kyl

    So-- based on your and Egg's responses, am I correct that there are Zone ship but that they are simply a cosmetically-modified version of each of the different team's normal ships? And that they drive similarly or identical to the primary ship for each team?

    I'm a bit disappointed to hear the Speed Lap mode lasts for only seven laps but am hopeful it's an approach that, when experienced, will feel natural and work well... guess we'll find out soon!

    I was under the impression there was one Zone ship with a skin/paintjob for each team available to slap on it.

    I think what is meant is that the 3d-model used for the zone ship is always the same, but different skins/textures are used for the model depending on which team one chooses for a race.

    Ok, thanks guys.

    So to re-cap...

    There IS a single Zone ship but it is skinned differently depending on the team you are racing as.

    The Zone ship is used for Zone mode but it is NOT useable in other game modes, for example, time trials or regular racing.

    Is that it?

    Hi Frances,

    my guess on this topic agrees with your re-cap. Soon we will find out.

    Cheers.

    Judging from the review, not the retail version there is just one zone ship model - with a different skin for each team. However, in zone mode the ships from different teams fly as differently as they fly in any other race mode. Plus, you can unlock every zone model/skin for use in regular race modes. That may clear things up.

    hey, wasn't sure where to put this, but features and changes seems right. i was watching the most recent you tube video's of pulse, and while it looks amazing, it seems to use terrible electronic effect voice overs for the 3..2..1, weapon announcements and position announcements after a race...does anyone know if these are in the final version...because it's sadly not just slightly annoying, but very off putting, compared with pure's nice voice.

    I imagine they would be. I really like the effect on the voice, that'll probably be down to personal opinion I guess

    I don't hate that electronic voices, but yes, I would prefer pure voices, too.
    I liked Fusion's female voice very much. Would have liked to see something similiar in Pulse. And yes, I raise my hand up for female voice only

    Female voices all fine and well until the part where there is a need to say "Contender Eliminated" Like the Wipeout 3 lady, too damn soft

    If there must be a male electronic voice, I would definitely rather it sound like the 1970s cylons

    By your command

    If it was up to me, the electronic voices would sound more like female porn stars with slight electronic changes...
