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...
