Features and Changes

[infoxicated]

Tigron and Van Uber were one-off's for Pure - I don't expect to see them appear in Pulse.

You never know, though - stranger things have happened.

still got my fingers crossed for an all indian team, lol

they should call it on of the following
- talavaar; meaning sword
- i.am.ag; Indian Aerospace Mumbai Anti Gravity
- bharat virodhi gurutva; indian anti gravity
- sarvasaktimana;all powerfull
- ag.sainika; AG Warrior
- vayu gati; air speed
- pavitra para; divine wings
- suravira; champion
- pavitra dhara; divine blade
- ustara - razor
- varistha para - superior wings

And your posts are exactly what to do with Features and Changes in Pulse?

[swift killer]

im hoping an indian team is featured in the game, if not in pulse, then hopefully in future games

So you've said in another topic.

Keep on topic - last warning.

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. ;-)

OK angryman, good idea, I read an old interview today on WO Pulse changes and this few words still disturb me again and again : "Improved controls. The handling is smoother, the ships are more evenly balanced. We're confident that the control is the best and most accessible the series has seen to date."
I hope that "accessible" doesn't mean that SL changed the handlind to make it easier to casual players and awful to fan community players.

Don't want to talk before seeing the real game in my hands so I shut my mouth and wait and see...

I remember reading an old magazine interview (around LATE 2000) that said Wipeout Fusion was trying to include more accessible ship handling for novice players.

Most of us know how that turned out. X_X

However, looking at video footage I'd say the handling appears about the same as Pure.
