I'd agree with the direct port suggestions - I doubt with HD coming relatively soon they'll make any more effort than necessary in releasing this. Will they include the download packs? I hope so, I really do.
As someone who can't get fully used to the tiny little thumb pad on the PSP, it'd be a godsend to play Pulse on the PS2. Great as Pure and Pulse are, I'm sure they'd still run better on a proper console. Just my twopence worth.
But there's no sense in a straight port graphically. The graphics would need about a 300% enhancement so that it doesn't look like someone took a 50 x 50 pixel smiley and tried to blow it up to wallpaper size.
Other than that, and packaging the four extra tracks and teams, the game should remain unchanged.
Hmm, I'm no technical expert on these things. Perhaps a similar approach to the one Rockstar took for GTA: Liberty City Stories? That was re-released for the PS2 at £19.99 if I remember rightly. The graphics weren't too clever there, either.
all this HD news is great an all (for those with ye olde ps3) but does anyone have anything on pulse ps2?
I still can't get over how neglected the PS2 has been in the Wipeout franchise. The series had so much potential on the system that never got utilized properly. Instead, they opted to continue the series on a handheld that doesn't have as much support and now they are continuing the series on a console that doesn't have as much support. I've been dying for a good Wipeout game on the PS2 and by the looks of it, we probably won't get one at all. Very frustrating.
It does indeed suck big hairy mamoth balls that (probably) the most successful videogame console in history got the shaft as far as WipEout games are concerned.
Pulse on PS2 should have been a no-brainer, but when it tanked on PSP I imagine the financial motivation to create a PS2 game faded fast.
So I might as well hold off on that console purchase. I was tempted to buy an early PS3 with backward compatibility, or just an old PS2. Looks like I may not get either one.
sigh, it looks like i might be done with the series. i was really hoping this was gonna happen.
Ditto. But by done with the series I mean not buying any new titles cuz I'll still rock the classics. But I don't have near enough money to buy a PS3 or PSP especially considering I'd only get either one for the Wipeout titles.
Disappointing news Rob, but I think those with a PS3 will forget all about Pulse once HD comes out. Including myself, eventually. (I'll be late to the party three straight games :g)
The lack of any information was a tell-tale sign.
yeah, when i say done, i mean new titles too. i still own the original game, 2097, 3: special edition and fusion and still play them, i did own a psp, but only owned it for pure/pulse, which wasn't enough, also add to that my general dislike of hanheld gaming compared to a home console, so sold it ages ago. pulse ps2 would have been amazing and due to pricing, specs and my personal opinion of current ps3 titles i won't be picking up one soon if ever.
perhaps this thread should become the 'petition for pulse ps2' thread. :g
September 3, come and gone...
yup, the dream dies. back to 2097 and 3: special edition. :(
we have to keep waiting... and it sucks... :(
I think it was just a rumour, theres no sign of Pulse on any release schedules.

clutching at straws...yes, but i refuse to give up on something that SHOULD happen. :)
It even has a PEGI rating.
This game is an even worse tease than Duke Nukem Forever.
i did ask colin about this but didn't get a response, so my guess is, the SL gang can't discuss it, or the whole port stuff just a rumour/misunderstanding of information or something...
Something I've been thinking about, Pulse could be getting ported to the PS3, sure, it's a long shot, but not too much of a long shot I'd bet.
It would be a great follow up to Wipeout PS3, especially if they added some new tracks, or made it with all the DLC included.
Hmmm, Pulse for PS3... *imagines*... errr, WHAT?! you're joking, right? because that basically is what happened, with HD...
And that's why I think it is a believable idea.
Personally, I hope we get a brand new Wipeout, with brand new tracks. I'll take anything we get with a smile, but that is my hope.
wipeout
wipeout 2097
wipeout 3: special edition
wipeout fusion
wipeout pure/with dlc
wipeout pulse/with dlc
all on the psn downloadable and playable on your ps3.
that would be awesome (and make me buy a ps3)
:)
Yeah, a whole 'Friggin Sweet' collection would be nice. But Pulse on PS2 or PS3 alone won't sell much. At least I think it won't, prove me wrong Sony with advertising. :)
Anyways, I think the original stuff we were talking about in this thread has been canned, no? I don't see it happening anytime soon anyways, just like that other thread over there... :/
any good news about yet?
Announced february 18th. click here
It's not official, but some salers say that.
nice. So I must give up on idea of playing killzone2. Hope the skin editor is here too!
No editor & no online I think, but a two-players mode, and why not a NegCon compatibility! Will you beat new records???
I hope 480p is there.
i hope this is true, but will only believe it when i see it sat on a shelf in a store. there's been so many rumours and no official word, so we'll see.
I feel the same about this. I got excited when i first heard these rumours, but i'm not going to trust these rumours until i can get some reliable info.Quote:

it's on the game uk site, which, as much as i hate game, is pretty much comfirmation.
any one at studio liverpool care to comment, fill us in on features??? :)
Basically, the fact that they haven't yet called BS on this counts as a confirmation, I guess... ;)
I would get my hopes up, those two websites are not exactly trust worthy, you can tell by looking, and playfrance is pretty much known for basically talking crap.

still want to know if the rumoured split screen is real, if dlc is really not included and if graphics have been tinckered with, any new options...e.t.c....
Well, that would be awesome, but call it something else though, not pulse, for sales sake if nothing else. Also, it wouldn't need dlc if all the tracks are included and ships already. If they just could add all of pure's tracks as well, that would be sweet, of course with HD's handling :) would also be nice. OH, then there is link mode for faster gameplay as well, but if split screen is all, then at least allow one on one races to keep the framerate up. NEgcon (drools, then wakes up).
this is sounding more real as we go along here, which would be great
480p video output is essential as far as I'm concerned. I'm sick of half arsed, letterboxed, unoptimised PAL conversions on the PS2. Also, I don't have a widescreen TV, so the ability to choose between normal and widescreen aspect ratio would be nice. Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast got both of these right.
Support for the original SCPH-1080 PS1 digital controller would also be very useful, since it seems to be the only controller I can play Wipeout with (and before anyone asks, I've tried the NegCon with all the Wipeouts up to and including Fusion on numerous occasions and I hate it with every fibre of my being. Sorry. :P ) The Dualshock 1's D pad doesn't have enough travel for my liking, and the DS2 has too much and is horribly spongy (not to mention the fact that the housings of those stupid surperfluous analogue sticks prevent me from getting a comfortable grip on the controller). The 1080 is just right. :)
so it's real this rumor that dlc will not included? so basically, the 4 ships and 4 tracks will not be present in the game
sorry me but this is crap...****
so even in this case our american friends will not have the chances to play with the tracks not included
good sony! good! we see how you care about customers who made you rich
to me don't change nothing i have psp with pulse and the packs already cause i live in italy, and basically i don't give a **** about, i will not get the ps2 version anyway, since in the last times i use most harimau, mirage and auricom...but for our american friends it's another low blow
the simple answer here is, no one knows what's what with the rumours.
like you, myself and everyone else glancing at this thread, want to know what's what.
going on wipeout's recent track record, we'll be lukcy to get any info until it either slips onto shelves or dissapears like so many other rumours...
pulse dlc.
2097 on psn.
wip3out on psn.
wipeout hd release date is forgiven due to the circumstances, but you all remember how hard it was to get info on that one too!!!
if it is coming and gets world wide release, dlc absolutely should be included. if not, then i would be baffled by that decision, it wouldn't make up for what happened to our friends in the states, but it would be the right thing to do, none the less. and give everyone access to some great ships and of course vostok reef!!!
there are hints it's coming from various sites we've spotted, but no official word...probably most importantly on features and release territories.
Now that they got the handling just right in HD, this COULD be the definitive version of the newer games if everything is included.
