Whats the point? Waste of time and resources I think.
Not that I'm disbelieving your post at all, but can you link to the announcement? I just checked Wipeout-game and wipeoutpulse websites and did not see this anywhere.
I also checked the bigger news outlets, IGN, Kotaku, Joystiq, gamespot and nothing. Plus, the idea seems pretty random, why make Wipeout HD and then port a PSP game to the PS2? Why wouldn't they just make a PS3 retail disc with more stuff than HD is going to contain.
Well, here's the link on this French site:
http://www.jeuxvideo.fr/wipeout-puls...tu-138932.html
I have to precise it is this site that has announced the 29th of May as release date for WoHD.
In general, it is a quite reliable site.
And as for the point: do you know how many Ps2 have been sold worldwide? It's much easier to earn money on PS2 than on PSP!
Yes! I normally hate cross platform releases from PSP to PS2 but this could mean neGcon support! Pulse with neGcon = win!
Word, thanks for the link! I'm sold, I'm really loving Pulse, and the component to TV out doesn't quite work right enough for a game this fast.
Agreed, Vincent. Online play would be double the win. But those things are probably long-shots and simply playing Pulse on a good TV from the comfort of my armchair and without squinting and getting a headache is good enough. If confirmed by Sony that`s 3 wipeout releases in less than a year - Happy days. :)
hmmmm.....an interesting idea. it would be kool if you could copy ur save file from ur psp to ur ps2 memcard and then continue where u left off:P and then you could copy it back to ur psp and take ur game out somewhere.
....actually....that would rock!! :D
Hm.
They should give the game a few bug fixes before ;)
And add ruble of course!
Wow... Can't imagine that... Wipeout Pulse Ps2 online competitions (hopefully got the 60gb ps2 compatible ps3), Wipeout Pulse PSp online competitions & WipeOut HD online competitions...My ohh my great WipeOut future!!!!
Even without online support I would be perfectly happy with split screen and/or network support.
What would be really nice is if PS2 players could play PSP players online. :D
}Holds off on counting chickens.{ :D
wow dint see this coming, wont be as good as the psp version tho as the game takes advantage of the psp's features like screenshots, custom skins and custom soundtracks. Also i think they've killed PS2's online play so wont have that, probly have all the DLC on it tho, be nice to see wat kind of laptimes ppl can get on the ps2 version compared to the psp even tho there probly wont be a way of uploading them
absolutely awesome. My hands cramp up playing handhelds other than GameGear or Nomad... maybe now I'll finally be decent at Pulse since it's on a normal screen with a regular controller :P
Wish they had done this with Pure ;_; Pure > Pulse in my book.
wow, i really hope this is true, i just sold my psp (not a huge fan of portable gaming and it had very few games i wanted) but i still own a ps2, still love it and wont even think about buying a ps3 until final fantasy xiii shows up, the slimline model is released and they decide to stop screwing us europeans with pricing. but pulse on the ps2 would be good.
i agree about wishing they'd done it with pure too! now that would really make my day!
Honestly, I really think it should have been done with pure instead...
EDIT: whoops! only read page one! I agree with AG-wolf and emerald dragoon
^ that gives me an idea - a pure/pulse PS2 double game pack release. Oh yeah.
hmmm maybe you should have been at the tournament in the USA?Quote:

Wow, like they did (scee) for syphon filter dark mirror. really looking forward for the day..:)
This is great now come September I'm going to stop playing HD so I can have PS2 Pulse which features:
No custom soundtrack
No custom ship skins
No online play
Probably overpriced I mean why not the packs were rape
Negcon support? Are you guys serious? No chance
You forgot something: it's not Pure!!
;)
lol yes theres also that small issue.
i can live without most of those things, except custom soundtrack as playing cold storage while racing pulse was awesome.
but so many people won't have a ps3, whereas so many own a ps2. whoever made this call deserves a handshake, it's a great idea and something people who enjoy wipeout on consoles will be grateful for, especially if they don't have a ps3/can't afford one yet.
there's no real downside.
september will be fun. :g
As RR says [more or less ;) ], neGcon support is so statistically unlikely to occur that I say with considerable confidence that it just ain't gonna happen.
But having the game on the PS2 will be so cool that I will actually buy a PS2 at my first financially viable opportunity.
Great news that, Lance, get you back on the track :)
The chances of racing you online are low, I`d think. I played PS2 PES 2008 online not too long ago, and there were around 100,000 players ranked (not going to reveal mine) so I think PS2 online play might just still be possible, but whether it would be considered worthwhile for Sony is another issue.
My former neighbor had one of the little slim PS2s; it sat on the bottom shelf of a black-painted shelf unit in a dark room. Finding those tiny little buttons on the front of it was more time-consuming than necessary.
I want one of the big consoles, something more manly; that's not afraid to have big buttons and to use more POWER.
Something with a Pulse. :D
Wonder how they'll handle graphics? Pulse is a pretty game, but I wonder if it'll be upgraded/upscaled.
Online play on PS3 a possibility?
I can almost guarantee online play on PS2 won't happen.
What are the chances that they could bundle wipeout pure and wipeout pulse into one disc?
A DVD could definitely handle it.
Never going to happen regardless of space though :rolleyes:

the same happened to me, and i was obliged to get a slim ps2 just to play gt4 and the old games..
strange, my manly PS2 plays Gran Tourismo 4 perfectly, I've never had problems (the network adapter I've got sticking out the back was the best £17 I have ever spent, EVER.)

Let's not get distracted from the actual topic. It might be a good idea to have a topic of advice on how to buy used gaming equipment, issues that the old consoles have that should be watched for, etc. I may start one later today, but right now, I don't have time to pick out such posts from this thread and put them into a new one, which might be the best way to start it
.
And now, back to Pulse on PS2>
it was just a lens problem, maybe just caused by dust.. I'm not the only person I know whose ps2 ceased to read movie-dvd, games on cd rom, high-storage- capacity-dvd (such as gt4) and old psone games. the best issue at the time was to get a brand new console.. (not to mention that I've preowned gt4 six months before the release date, and finally I was not able to play it!!:brickwall)
Edit: sorry lance, we posted at the same time..
Wow....i disappear for a few months and look what happens!
It seems everyone is up in arms about pulse...ill leave it there, im afraid saying anything will start everyone on a huge rant..
I think a pulse port to PS2 is a good idea, it will bring the game out of its handhold-ey limitations. Personally, i dont like the PSP in terms of comfort - i prefer using an analog stick over a d-pad but the 'nub' the PSP features is too awkward for me to use well, so the ability to use a real stick is a big thumbs up for me.
On the other hand, all these so called flaws everyone is so brushed-up-the-wrong-way about might become more apparent. Ill leave it there - i dont want to kick up dust where it isnt welcome. :)
Last year I traded my manly ps2 for a N64 with Wipeout. My ps2 was so old and bad, it didn't play any game after gt3, no dvd's and Fusion was not worthy enough to keep my ps2.
Now, that I hear that Pulse is coming to ps2 I might even buy another ps2 again. Maybe play some Fusion again, I said maybe, lol. But I will certainly play SSX tricky again and Timesplitters.
Pulse on ps2 will be selling very good I think, only because there are so many ps2's in the world. That is the sole reason Pulse is going to ps2. Evolutionary wise in controls, Pulse on ps2 will fall in between the ps1 NeGcon and the ps3 sixaxis. So we will get a game without a good controller support. I wonder if we even get the possibility to link our ps2's? I really hope ps2 pulse will get online support too, even if it means it can't communicate with psp. The online lounge will be much more filled.
I hope Wipeoutzone will support recordtables for Pulse ps2!
All in all I think Pulse coming to ps2 is cool, the ps2 deserves another Wipeout version. But why not Pure?
When I got my not back-compatible PS3, I kept my slim PS2 incase I should ever need it again, and SSX Tricky was the only PS2 game I didn`t want to sell. The inferior 3rd installment with "Radio Big" went on Ebay. I just couldn`t sell Tricky; I love it too much. When I finally make it to a Wipeout gathering I will be hoping for a split screen Garibaldi challenge....Quote:

me too! I guess as you say the control will be limited to Dualshock 2`s, but at least that will be the same for all.Quote:

Motorstorm 2 is going to have 4-player split screen so maybe this will bring it back into fashion, and if there`s no online play it would be great to have some form of multiplayer if possible.
Maybe because Pure's sales were very good (>1 million units worldwide) but Pulse tanked :(Quote:

The PS2 has a broader install base, is not so broadly pirated and is straightforward to port to from the PSP-- no doubt Sony's hope is to recover some lost revenue.
Not that this still isn't good news for us :nod I'm just doubtful about the efforts that will be made to optimize the game for the PS2 (alternate controller support, online, etc.) Hopefully I am wrong about this though!
You are on Lunar! Garibaldi on it's way. So my friend I will finally meet you next year, lol. Germany will be the country then, around this time of year in may! E.W.C. 2009; I will bring a PS2, two TV's, PULSE FOR PS2 (isn't it great that this psp game is coming out on the ps2!!?), and SSX Tricky of course.

Another nice thing about a PS2 version is that there's no mucking about with the firmware.
I can't help but feel this way, I mean wheres my job at Sony towers? This thread shouldn't be like this, it should be Pulse on PSP now official.
Who made the decision to put Pulse on PSP and not PS2 anyway? I think someone thought they could milk a lot of extra money out of players by putting it on PSP so they could offer extra content not realizing they could have made a bomb (neeh neeh boom) in the first place if it was on the PS2.
I didn't realize Pulse "Tanked" I thought it did ok, can't expect it to be like Pures sales can we? What does it bring to the table that Pure didn't have already, other than infrastructure which would have been better on a console!
