If Pulse PS2 actually gets a Sep. 3rd release I am going to have a head explosion out of pure excitement.
i think this must've been some crazy rumour that got out of hand, as we haven't heard anything. if not...then let us know studio liverpool....please, go on.
umm... Seeing as foxy said this a while back, I've got a small bit of confidence that it's trueQuote:

I care because it's highly unlikely that I will buy a PS3 soon, if ever.
Maybe, but since Studio Liverpool lost the F1 license to Codemasters there's now over 100 employees now working entirely on the WipEout series. It'll be low on the priorities list compared to HD and "Wipeout PS3" as you said, but it should be happening! Plus, the PS2 is going on surprisingly well even as the PS3 will be two years old this autumn. There's still a market.Quote:

I'm not going to assume that Nick even wants to come back to the old concept. Or that Colin is bored with it. But it would be interesting to see what Nick might do this many years on in WO and general game development.
^ Agreed. It'd be a "Fusion" of old and new schools...maybe they should call the next game Wipeout Fu......wait.
Now, speaking of the PS2 version of Wipeout Pulse...;)
I was under the impression you didn't have a PS2 Lance? Although with the price of it ever falling I guess you put on on the list?
Of course I will buy it if it snakes it way out, might only play it for 5 minutes but you know how it is, just have to have it.
Is it gonna include the DLC? That would certainly make it a more attractive buy for you Americans who were unfairly deprived of the extra stuff I guess.
Twisted Metal Head-On came with lots of extras when it was ported from the PSP.
Wipeout HD will certainly have the extra teams unless those "four extra ships" are actually G-Tech, MediEvil, Cokestyle and Puma II.
It would seem that it would be the logical thing to do.

I've not played my PS2 in ages, it makes sense for Sony to port it to PS2 (I mean it would have made sense to make it on PS2 in the first place) they can make some profit for little effort.
Ever since Pulse was announced it bugged me as to why they were putting it on PSP? Is there no more online for PS2? Did they just think about making more money off downloads? Whats the reason?

confirmed release date? maybe.
hope so. :)
Please tell me it's not PAL exclusive.
i would hope not, just for you guys. no fusion, no pulse dlc...i'd hope they would release it in all territories with all dlc included. with the number of ps2's out there i'm sure sales would be good enough to justify it!
We got Fusion! Albeit it wasn't published by SCEA. We didn't get Wipeout 3 SE, extra music in WipEout, Omega League, and the Pulse DLC as you mentioned.
oh, i wasn't aware fusion finally got a release there! shame about 3: special edition, that was a great package, perhaps it'll get a release on the psn at some point or be unlockable in a future installment of the series as a bonus!
if this release date for pulse ps2 in new zealand is true then i'd guess PAL uk and NTSC would be somewhere around that time too.
also if this is true, it's a whole new level of non-marketing...
We've had Fusion for six years. I should know, I was the only person who camped out 30 minutes early at the mall GameStop to buy it. ;)
The PSP was an easy way to enable 8-person multiplayer. You might note that there's no online for Pure, it's only ad-hoc. It's the best way to do multiplayer, very reliable. PSP is the only way you can get that kind of good multiplayer going.Quote:

Where are you guys seeing pulse for ps2? I checked EB Games website and they have no listing for it
There's a link two pages back that points to a pre-sale for Pulse. But that's in New Zealand.
Additionally, Infox has hinted that there is going to be a PS2 conversion.
However, SCEA has not said anything (surprise!) about it yet. But they'll have to pick it up. They must.
the lack of any news is odd, i'd like to take the oportunity to post a polite request to anyone from studio liverpool to perhaps give us a bit of news or hint about the port. if you guys can't comment fair enough, i can wait :)
here's hoping SL actually have plans for a PS2 release...*fingers crossed and closes eye*
here's also hoping that it's not just a port of Pulse...cause wouldn't that just steal PSP sales??? why not even make it a hybrid of Pulse and Pure??? ay??? ay???
actually i think a port would be better, imagine if the online games were compatible between consoles that would bring some life back to online games, and it would be fun to see if the ps2 version could get better times
And imagine a version with packs already included.:nod
It makes sense to bring out a ps2 version, with loads of them still selling in developing nations which dont really have the PSP or do but just hard to get hold of.
Also, remember Sony saying they're now targeting the latin and south american audience/market?
the best piece of news would be confirmation of the port with all dlc and that it is in fact a bundle of wipeout pure and pulse...i would be so happy if they did that!
To recap : a mix pulse/pure, an online mode compatible psp, all packs included. Sure, it would wait Hd easier :nod
definitely
( or maybe you just need to clean the dust from your ol'good ps and play some amazing old wipeouts ( negcon required to even not notice there's 2 new wipeout already released ( pulse ps2 and HD)...oh shiiiite we are in 2009 ! time flies :D ))
if they do include the dlc packs, wonder how they'd do it. perhaps one of two ways, either all there from the start or you unlock one grid (thats what the honeycomb thingies were called wasn't it) and one ship every time you complete so many of the regular grids. either way i'd be fine with them been in it. :g
I keep getting the feeling that I heard they are including the packs, besides it makes no sense not to. :?
For some reason i dont think this will actually come to fruition.
i think that if they do include the packs and pure stuff we can pretty much say bye bye to psp/ps2 online matches..
nah cause pulse doesnt let you play online with any DLC, as a way to even it out for people who may not have it.
It's just the tracks you can play online.
what i mean is if they simply port the game as it is then the compability might not be an issue but if they tweak the game include pure tracks ships etc then i doubt they'll spend more time/money making sure some of the ships and tracks are compatible with psp..
i think it will be a direct port, probably with no online play. if it does feature online play i seriously doubt it will be compatible with the psp version...due to the technical stuff behind doing that. i may be completely wrong, but that's just a guess. i'd actually prefer it if they added split screen mode instead. with online, it depends on internet connections and servers that may not exist in 2 years, whereas split screen is always there and always available.
