Colin Fawcett, lead artist: "We've brought in more natural elements so the tracks aren't quite as city based as they were in Pure. We still have city based tracks but we've gone for more varied environments this time out."
I totally did not see that coming, good come back. :+Quote:

Decidedly Minimalist Character

There you go :+
Appears as if Qirex-RD and Harimau have gotten the axe for the time being :(
Now now... it was nothing of the sort.Quote:

(this is why rob does the back story... not me)
Ha!
That`s why Qirex stays the main game cos you are the Lead designer! and you can do what you want, correct sir?
And there is no excuse for foxy`s back story!;)
stevie:D
Was there really criticism of Harimau or is that just in-game story? I really liked the ship.Quote:

And the only way you could know it had worn off was when your ship ploughed into another wall. It was the unknown that was the problem there.
The story is totally believable Berry :+
//copies and pastes into Harimau file.
Thanks for that Col - saves me the hassle of coming up with something! :D
If it were that easy I should help with the backstory leading up to the next installment O_O;
I've actually completed all except for Harimau and Auricom. It's been a little easier this time round, because I tied up a lot of loose ends when I did the work for Pure.
There are teams in Pulse that either weren't in Pure or didn't have a back story for it, so it's been fun coming up with some new stuff for them. Best bit was when I was sitting beside Egg, who builds the ships, because I could look at what he'd done and use it to colour the story. I know the stats, too, so that helps. :)
so.. i'm guessing that pulse isnt on the same island as pure?
Wowies, lots of great info there!
Although I admit, it's sad that the leach beam is eleminator only.
I remember using that to survive a LOT of races in WipEout 3!
/Can't wait for this game!
Gah what are you trying to do make me drop my drink? :banzaiQuote:

So I like to see a track though Amsterdam. And when racing, passing by the Hotel Brinker!!! That would be really funny..:D
lol Prince Charles indeed, build it right through his stupid palace so he can wake up to rocket blasts during early morning practice, I wish we could get rid of royalty such a waste of tax moneys..... moneys that could be used to build this track.
Included outside the hotel should be a bunch of crazy people with Wipeout convention shirts on :banzai
LOL!
I am inspired to do some Photochopping:p
Actually, I'm with His Not Yet Highness on this one. He objects to skyscrapers and just generally plain ugly crap in London. So do I.
I object to him
Thought so. :D
Now, about those Pulse interviews. :)
Mad-Ice grandstand cameo anyone?Quote:

Was it actually you who interviewed him, G'Kyl? :)
______
EDIT
I'll try to list the most important facts from the interview which weren't released before:
- better balance between crafts
- editor which allows to create own skins for your craft
- 12 teams, 8 from beginning (Feisar, AG-Systems, Assegai, Qirex, Piranha, Triakis, Goteki45 and EG-X), 4 downloadable (Auricom, Harimau, Icaras and Mirage)
- alternative routes named "Skill Cuts" = short cuts that are just useful if you really have the skill to manage them (as complicated as Anulpha Pass's chicane)
- three new weapons for eliminator mode (Leach Beam, Repulsor and Shirkan)
- AI refined
- Racebox mode = create your own races
- Race Campaign mode = career mode (Clarko explained that already I think -> based on grids)
- skill of the AI is adjustable
- profile, record and ingame-screenshot upload to official website
- not sure yet if there is region-specific content again - Colin hopes not.
- loyalty points for each team - gain these and you get team specific extras. e.g.: fly many races with Feisar and earn lots of Feisar points = many Feisar related extras
- 1st track named "Talons Junction"
- Vector cut out
Hey Colin, I like your rubber ducky - looks like one I used to have when I was a kid...*slips into a state of nostalgia once more*
..Its now the dog's chew toy:(
EDIT---------------------
Can't wait to hear more of these "skill cuts":+
As for eliminator weapons:
Leach beam = Energy drain
Repulsor = (probably) reflector :hyper
Shirkan = ninja stars??:?
And one word that would not translate: "Vorgeschmack" - some assistance Max?
My politically incorrect [and somewhat malfunctioning] translator program says:
Ziss baseball bat iss fur geschmackin der heads of pipple askink too many qvestions.
Vorgeschmack = foretase (literally)
in this context
"Eine davon, Anulpha Pass, gab es bereits in einem Download für Pure. Das war ein erster Vorgeschmack."
means
"One of them (them = skill cuts), Anulpha Pass, was already there as a download for Pure. This was a first adumbration/appearance/section of what is going to be a skill cut"
Okay, I just spat my tea all over my bloody table! :DQuote:

Yeah, I was thinking that afterwardQuote:

Ahh, thx - that clears it up! :+Quote:

Oh, and I knew you'd point out that Talon's Junction was the name of the first track. That's something NO one cares about except the sort of people who hang out on boards like this one. *g* Personally, I like the hint towards Talon's Reach.
Ben
It'll be a Canadian industrial park track that's short and has a big sweeping curve towards the end. That's my guess anyway. ;) (j/k)
