Nothing gets past you, eh Max?

That's my monitor in the foreground... I wonder why they cropped out someone as handsome as me? ;) :D

- 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

So sweet!

Skill cuts, loyalty points and, erm, Icaras (:g) are what first impacted my eye. Loyalty points sound like the secret dream of many of us here... at least of many among those displaying a team-specific avatar... although I can already hear the multiplayer-related screams of rage (it's gonna be FUN :g).

Also Career mode sounds like a realistic improvement.

Oh, and the uploads to the official site.

And all the rest. But I really wonder about them loyalty points, and the extras. Additional liveries? Additional skins? SHIP UPGRADES by any chance?

Don't hurt me, but with EG-X, Mag Locks, loyalty mechanics and the additional weapons Pulse is starting to sound to me like Fusion done the right way. Life's sweet once again. Thank you Studio Liverpool.

We're not even in that room any more - we're in the big room through the hallway from it. Your chair has, in fact, been retired. :D ;)

Actually we covered it in petrol and burnt it

Unfortunately it was a week too late, and you'd left by the time we lit the match

but we are back in the room of life as opposed the room of doom

uhm... back on topic... there should be something on IGN soonish (it was written last week)

Sounds excellent :+ It will be interesting to see what the loyalty points get you and Talons Junction is an excellent track name :D

On a slightly different note, Colin you remind me of Ricky Gervais

Thankfully Gran Turismo 3 held me over until then...

It was the first reason for me, although I've come to realise that my PSP is an extremely cool, useful little gadget since then...

heh - my first reason was because it is portable :p

HELL YES!

Oooh, I wasn't expecting that! All new tracks... woah. Nice!

Good, good...

That's a nice article, well found!

Thanks a lot Colin for all those precisions : seems with the 3 levels of difficulty you will satisfy a large range of players from the newbee to the hardcore racers : well found :+

hope this interview on Spong hasn`t been posted before but anyway two things stand out: vector is definitely goneand the Amsterdam Grand Prix gets a mention! Nice!
23rd June 2007, 04:02 PM
RJ O'Connell

Also seen in the Spong feature were the logos for the league, Triakis, Qirex, Piranha, Mirage, Icaras and a b/w one for Harimau.

Need. Now. ^___________^

Tony Buckley: Oh yeah, and I’ll say now, that the Phantom class will always be for nutters! People whose talent with WipEout tracks and ships is almost frightening! You know, there was a WipEout conference a couple of months ago in Holland, and the speed these people go - and the control they have over their ship - is simply amazing. We will always have a speed class that is for those purists.

Absolutely brilliant stuff!, I`m glad he mentioned us.

Heh!

Tony was worried that some might be offended by the term "nutters", but he meant it in the most complimentary way. ;)

Hmmm that piccyture the very bottom left one on page 2, as soon as I saw that it scream Florion Height at me, just a glance at that first corner and of course that board over the track

To be a nutter or not to be a nutter, that's the question? But to become a nutter is the answer!!! A WipEout Nutter 8)

Very cool interview. I am so looking forward to the skin designing program. I am getting my sketch book out now. I feel so happy about that Tony mentioned the Amsterdam Wipeout Convention!!! That :rock for sure!

'We feel like we've got a winning formula and as long as we can invigorate it we can please the solid install base of WipEout fans. We've got to cater to them first. We want people to share their experiences, so we've given them the tools to do that'

Cheers Tony Buckley :beer
