Downloadable content

I think European delays have a lot to do with localisation issues, remember, there are lots on NON English speaking countries in Europe... text has to be translated, speech changed (requiring foreign voice actors) plus other numerous issues. Remember, a good thing or not, we now come under the big cloak known as the European community (not FULLY... yet anyway!) so when summit is released... Europe is usually last in line, this has been the case with Nintendo, Sega and Microsoft's Xbox... otherwise a PAL label could be slapped on the yank version and hey presto!!!

So really, it's not THAT unusual is it? - Besides, my JAP version is almost here :D still wanna hear more and see more pics of current available downloadable content though!!! I'm as much in the dark as everyone else! :(

You all are lucky to be IN the distribution plan, i ALWAYS have to get videogame related stuff through some friend/family memeber on a trip, or pay ridiculous import prices, which i certainly avoid, i prefer to wait until someone goes travelling.

My PSP and Pure is coming tomorrow, will play after i recover lost time with my girlfriend ;) 8), believe me, the second right after that, i will be playing (probably under the sheets LOL)

kinky mano's got priorities lol, see you in a few days mate :P

Went through various sources that downloadable content is ready for delivery, but Sony is still figuring out how to distribute the stuff so that European "latecomers" won't get a disadvantage and don't have to load all the downloads all at once, because all of it is already out.

We in the UK talk English just like they do in America so why can’t we have it when they do?

No we don't, we speak English, they speak American English, and I for one am very tired of having to wait for the localisation of a game - months after the American release, and they can't even spellcheck the bloody thing for proper English speakers - if they actually changed the text into standard English I wouldn't mind.

The variation between proper English and US English aren’t that great are they? Surly only minor changes need be made, hee hee now Lance will posting here since he’s the resident er, you know English language guy

I second that Seek, it is our language after all :P

[micro rant]At least purE should use English-English, hopefully there's a few "Colour"s in the American version for good measure :twisted: Seriously though, most of the time I wouldn't honestly be bothered if they could be bothered to pronounce most of the words in English in games with spoken text (not that that really applies here heh heh) :roll: [/micro rant]

Alright guys why don't you knock it off with the superiority complex.

I remember having to wait months for Fusion too... at least you guys are waiting for a game that's actually GOOD.

Thanks

Love,
North American Tye

I hope they're not translating everything in the game. Only menus and teams stories would be enough. No bad voice acting or senseless translation, please !
For example the french for "quake disruptor" would give something like "perturbateur sismique" or "sismo-générateur" that doesn't sound at all in our language (sounds like a bad sci-fi movie).
I only need the original english voice for simple information like the weapon in use. Full translation is for the game manual only.

I remember the worst voice acting i heard in videogames was the french Metal Gear Solid for PSX (i guess those amateurs have been fired), which was even worst than Resident Evil 1(that had subtitles only so you should catch the idea…same voices for everyone). Then come many EA games where the speaker talks to you as if you were the dumb-cool-teenager-next-door. And the french release of Kessen 2, in which Chinese generals spoke with colourful french local accents. This one was surrealist !

I’d like to hear these ones in Italian, Spanish or German just to make a comparison.

"perturbateur sismique" does sound like a low-budget sci-fi actually :lol:

"at least you guys are waiting for a game that's actually GOOD" - I fail to see how that's really fair, I gladly swap them round so that we had to wait for Fusion and the US has to wait for purE, not having Fusion arrive on time is kind of a blessing.

With the voices, I kinda miss the old Amiga voice from wipEout 1 and 2097 - sounded much cooler than the bizarely eastern-european woman in the third game. :?

Believe it or not, those names to me sound kinda cool!! :lol: I guess I'm low budget, but I never watch sci-fi. I really hate their new kinds of commercials. The only thing I watch on sci-fi is the old Twilight Zone, and that's it!! Ahem, sorry for the off-topic. It certainly is a lot better waiting for a game that's good than waiting for Fusion, seriously!! :wink:

"perturbateur sismique" might sound cool in an other context, but i can't imagine it with the ingame voices i know from wipeout. Too long compared to "quake"and whatever the filter chosen (dark-industrial robotic for XL, more realistic for WO3).
Maybe us latin Europeans could use "sismo" if it is to be translated… but Quake works for me.

I’m on your side for the Twilight Zone, Chill ! Great series

Yo Chill, I meant sci-fi as in science fiction, not the american cable channel, they don't have a monopoly on sci-fi programming.

Sorry for keeping this off-topic.

Oh, ok then!! :lol: You want to make Wipeout as realistic as possible, well, that's what certainly needs to be done to make the atmosphere feel more real. Not like the new sci-fi shows that go so far out that you can't relate to it. :| So, to make this on topic, the downloads for Wipeout Pure need to be realistic enough to enjoy, and not to imaginative. This could ruin it for many people. :roll:

as long as none of the new ships have open cockpits or looks disturbingly like MiG-15s or Messerschmits then I'm okay, speaking of dodgy russian planes, the new Tigron looks pretty cool, can't wait to see Van-Über, Goteki-45 and Icaras

Hey uh, speaking of which, do we even know the stats for the Tigron yet? Seeing as how the download has been up for days, one would expect word to have leaked to here by now :|

Solution: they'll wait until the EU version is out to release their downloadable content. :twisted: And we all know when the EU version will be out... [hint: April 16. 2197.]
