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.
you could have a team/ship creator as a new feature, when you create a new ship you can put it on the network for other players to download into their games, forza motorsport 2 has a simular feature, the difference is microsoft expect you to pay money
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.
It's an evolution of Pure's handling, yet the extra floatiness and pitch control, coupled with the increased acceleration makes it hard to go back to Pure after playing Pulse. I think everyone here will approve - and those that don't would be searching for something to moan about anyway, so what can you do! ;)
I just hope the ship bounces when you exit a jump! :) I've always loved that in the earlier games!
On Chenghou project the nose can bounce up so much after the drop that your looking straight at the tunnel roof :g
*sigh* Yes I've perfected "somersaults" on Chenghou project...I seriously need to learn how to pilot with a dpad before pulse because it will be far more necessary to use Pitch control in Pulse than Pure by the sounds of it!
Floaty = nose down desparately:p
May god hear you infoxicated... :nodQuote:

have crazy bits like on spilskinanke in 2097, where you jump from peice of track to peice of track like on the last turn, but, you have to pitch your nose to land correctly, so you can have a jump into what looks like a wall but you have to pitch-up to land on the wall which is in actual fact the next part of the track, or do 180 turn in mid air with the thrust off and pitch the nose down.
I am really angry and disappointed this new wipEout only by a thing.really seems to me a very good game but what bothers me is that auricom, one of the most traditional teams not in the final list of teams, if it is true, in an expansion will come but it is not the same.

Greetings from am_auricom
am_auricom, don't be worried. I think that Auricom team will be added as "extra" in the future expansion packs that are scheduled after the game release. It was so also for Pure ;)
Yeah, Auricom was, and still is, a integral WipEout team. But maybe their entry into the middle of the FX400 league has a purpose....
To give them an excuse for not winning the championship :p :g
^chuckles^ :D
*Horrified!, stroking Auricom`s ship with care, there there!...just ignore them ok?, they are evil the..(suddenly!, the oil starting to drip on me! meaning Auricom is crying)..oh!, it`s alright!. Don`t worry I will sort them out with Repulser! Auricom`s ship starts to go up and down couple of times.
stevie:p
lol. Thanks, stevie. Both sensitive to Auricom's feelings and entertaining to me. :)
It's a shame the official site doesn't have any images or info about Auricom.
Still... keeps us on the edge of our seats in eager anticipation :)
Anyway, What Pulse has alot to offer, it's definatly going to be a big hit when released in a few weeks or so.
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.Quote:

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...
ehehe. That made me laugh :D
Thanks for the information, G'Kyl :D
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.
Ok, now I am confused! :eek
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. :beer
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 :naughty
but the voice in wip3out had some weird accent. i dont mind the female voices at all. they are way better than the cabal voice in the track intro :g
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... :p
Aaahahahaha LOL!
...but...erm...yes why not ;D
