Developer Interview!

[Mobius]

If have sky digital or another digital telly service....

Check out Gamer TV on Bravo at 5pm tonight, where there is an special feature about wipeout pure and interviews with Colin, Lee and others.

Trust me it's pretty good.

[Space Cowboy]

Ah damn! I dont have sky Will there be a webcast do you think? (I hope so)

[Dimension]

Aight, my reminder's set, thanks for the heads up Mobius

[yawnstretch]

Cool - ill try to catch this!

[Rapier Racer]

Excellent, reminder and auto view switched on

[Dimension]

Mmm, informative.

[infoxicated]

Colin didn't say much, did he?

You should see what he's like after a couple of pints, though... he'll talk Wipeout until kicking out time.

[yawnstretch]

I totally forgot about this until it was 6pm - thank God for Bravo +1

Some of the ship renders the staff were working on looked fabulous - I think I saw an ag systems ship...

There seemed to be more footage of wipeout 1 than pure, and why didnt they show any of the faster classes - especially with the interviewer saying the game was slow?!!

[Mobius]

I dont know - they have reviewed the game a few weeks before... i missed it myself but there is the video review online

Unfortunately for me also my media player is somehow corrupted so it wont play these vids or the ones on gamespot - so if somone could convert it and sent it to me.. i would be glad.

If not - only 97 days till i get hold of the game myself.

[Egg]

Good video, that ! They must have made it themselves -- unlike most of the on-line stuff, which is usually supplied by us.

You even see a contender eliminated

[Space Cowboy]

Bugger! you can onlt watch it with IE according to the website. Im using Firefox, is anyone else?

[Mobius]

Out of curiosity, what score did thay give it?

[yawnstretch]

a measley 4 out of 5 :

[infoxicated]

To be honest, 4/5 is a respectable score for a game that isn't doing anything that the original wasn't doing ten years ago. It's worth more when all the download tracks complete the game, but the bare version is quite stark in content when you compare it to other racing games, such as GT.

Wipeout Pure, I think, has been overhyped as it's a launch title that looks better than the competition, but by the time it comes out in Europe it'll have Burnout, NFS, WRC and a host of other racing games to be compared with. Only then, I think, will we see a true reflection of how it stands as a game in its own right.

[Rapier Racer]

look at that elimination, sweet :

[Mobius]

Sorry for the bump in the topic, but i seemed to stumble over the web version of the interview. So for anyone who missed can now see it...

oh goody, the idiots use a browser sniffer and tell me that i can't see the site ''properly'' unless i'm using Internet Explorer 5.5 or above. Opera doesn't pass their filter. SeaMonkey [Mozilla, and therefore probably FireFox as well] doesn't pass their filter. fukkem.

Great stuff Mobius.... thanks.

[Drakkenmensch]

Lance: Doesn't Opera come with a user switcher agent you can use to fool their browser sniffer into believing that you're complying like a good little AOL user, goosestepping to every whim of the Powers That Be, while in fact you're laughing your ass off knowing that your Opera is immune to their pop-ups and spywares.
