Lol....
sorry, I too had assumed you had both, man thats harsh.
so have they released the game today, but not the PSPs til next week ??
I WANT A SCAN NOW!!!
*going crazy*
;) just jokin'
I'd settle for the ship stats :)
All, all, we want all! :D
The ironic thing is of course that Tronix are shipping copies out abroad today, which means if the post is quick, people in Europe (and elsewhere) with import PSPs may be playing Pure before the machine is officially released in the States.
that would have to be pretty amazing shipping, when's the US PSP release again? :P
24th. Shipping from VG+ usually takes between 4-5 days. I am not sure how fast Tronix are in comparison, but they've got a good rep.
I'll be checking out NTSC-uk over the next few days to see if anyone is playing it early. One of the admin is currently in the US with a Japanese PSP, so I'm hoping, touch wood, he'll get hold of a copy and report what it's like. :)
Hmmm...only a short matter of time then before someone puts the two magical ingredients together - Wipeot Pure and an actual PSP. I'm also alarmed at the frame rate issue but, like so many PSP issues before it, suspect it to be far from the truth. Actually I've just read that Edge article - am I right in getting from that the tron-like graphic shots we have seen are from the classic tracks and that we won't actually get rendered graphical representations of those tracks? That would be a bit disappointing to me after the great work that went into the classic tracks in WO3 SE but then I suppose that you can't have it all.
To anyone in the know - would I be right in thinking that downloadable tracks will most likely use this 'virtual' map set?
I'm so looking forward to hearing the first impressions here (although more looking forward to hearing my copy has shipped!)

To be honest, it's these tron-like tracks which interest me the most.
On a positive note, it'd be like rediscovering them all over again (the originals that is), and from the screens, they seem to reflect the raw minimalist essence which runs through the series' design. It'll be good to see how they work - I'm hoping for a racer Rez-like experience. ;)
i think the tron-style ones are for zone mode, i read that somewhere :|
I thought they are the 4 tracks of the old WipEouts :roll:
edit: thought about that again and they could be the zone tracks, not sure
If I remember rightly, the classic league, being alongside the other two leagues should be of properly reconstructed tracks, Colin said soemthing about having the wireframes to build the tracks from and then just guessing on the height, so then again it could be that they are tron styley *shrugs*
I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure the Tron tracks are Zone Tracks only.
take a look at your manual, than you know it ;)
Why, it's the manual on which I'm basing my guess. I can't confirm, however, whether or not non-Zone tracks are simililarly styled. No way of knowing. UNTIL...THURS....DAY. GAH.
Sooo, still nobody's got both, dooby doo, i wonder who ladbrokes has as favourite to put WOP + PSP together first? :roll:
Okay going through the article again it seems that the flat shaded grey-blue pics are the zone mode but the brightly coloured Tron types are definitely the classic tracks (according to Edge anyway).
Dogg.
The new tracks are "real" graphics.
The "classic" tracks are done in a mode similar to "prototype" in W3, all blocky and stuff.
The "Zone" tracks are done in mainly purple, pink and white.
This is from the article in "EDGE" magazine.
Hope this helps.
:edit
sorry, doggthang, you posted while I was typing. Sorry again..
:/edit
I forgot to mention that the idea of the barrel roll is cool, can't wait to see how that one turns out! :D
*edit* thanks for clearing that up thrusty
