Wipeout Pure FAQ

[eLhabib]

well, I think 'harimau' is not that unfitting as a name. I was more disturbed by the sound of 'triakis'. sounds too pseudo-sophisticated for wipEout IMHO :wink:

[Drakkenmensch]

Harimau certainly has the asian sound befitting a malaysian team, and Triakis sounds like something pompous created by a consultant team using a focus group of average joes fed Krispy Kremes and cheap coffee, while some high ranking military corporate types look upon them through a one way mirror and congratulate each other for being so brilliant on their naming strategy.

"Triakis" would be the product ultimately excreted by such a process.

[eLhabib]

I don't know, triakis to me sounds like a warring race from babylon 5.

the Triakis (like 1 Triaki, some Triakis)

'Captain! Fuzzy Lumpkins, the commander of the Triakis Battleship, is calling through viacom.'
'Bring him up'

[randomperson1]

Al-Vaskei Mk-II !
That's a weird name!

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm changing it to Team Quantax, there's a few peeps on here that are much better at coming up with names and backstories than I am.

[randomperson1]

Yeah. Good Idea. I thought it would be a good idea to keep al-vaskei with just the one.

[Drakkenmensch]

Random: your Al-Vaskei backstory is very cool. I always felt that the arab oil princes would be the first to leap into the AG racing game, financing their multi-billion dollar-pound team with the change they fished out of the cracks in their sofa

[randomperson1]

thanks. I wasn't sayin' that al-vaskei should go, just that it didn't deserve two ships, that's all, just to make it clear.

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm gonna try and get version 1.02 sorted tomorrow once Coke Pack 3 is out.

[randomperson1]

where did team quantax come from?
is it just me or is that name a little too much like Qirex

[Drakkenmensch]

Indeed it does, which makes perfect sense once you look up the Qirex history and find that "Quantax" is the model name of the Wipeout 2097 Qirex craft. Sort of like how Nissan makes the Sentra and the Altima. Since the Puma II ship looks so much like the old Qirex, I wrote up a story explaining how the pre-Tigron engineers of the bought-out Qirex staff got back together but one of them disapproved of the Pure version of the Qirex ship, eventually founding her own team based on the 2097 model design using Puma sponsorship money.

v1.1 will be submitted to GameFAQs on Friday once JP Classic 1 is out. New stuff and changes are as follows:

- Details for Icaras added
- Guide for Altima VII added
- Rearranged downloadable content into regions
- Addition of US Classic 3, JP Classic 1 and 2, and EU Classic 1 to downloadable content
- Addition of Messij and Operatique to soundtrack section
- Added release dates to all current download packs
- Added disclaimer above entries for Vaskei and Quantax stating they are fan-fiction and the names are not official.
- Added a list of gold medal ranks

Next update will be either in line with the release of JP Classic 2 or my acquisition of another version :wink:

EDIT: I'm not feeling too good at the moment so the update will be delayed for a couple of days.

EDIT 2: The update will be delayed even further as I have now acquired the Euro version!

Great FAQ Hellfire.

I had an idea.
How about a medal breakdown for each of the versions.

This would include;
The number of medals achievable on the original disc
The number of medals achievable for each of the downloads
The total number of medals achievable

Is it worthwhile including this information?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Possible, I'll see how it pans out.

First thigs first, Great faq! Love it!

One little question though, It says the Goteki45 team is intoruced in the Japanese "Classic" pack, although i have this pack and there appears to be no Goteki.

I took a look at this page: http://www.playstation.jp/scej/title.../download.html Which i'm sure you're all firmiliar with, and conviniently I read and speak Japanese, so i can say for sure that the G45 skin and ship are coming on Friday the 21st at 1pm.

... But i'm sure you Wipeout guys already know that XD.

Anyway, that might be something to tweak in the next version ^^

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah, that's something that has already been corrected. I've listed all packs in each region now as at the time of writing the last version I was under the impression the Japanese Classics would be the same as the US ones. I've pretty much only got the new track guides to do now.

The update is gonna be delayed for even longer now with the release of Classic 2 for the Euro version (and the small matter of a new girlfriend )

(and the small matter of a new girlfriend )

Couldn't find a tall one then, eh?

*tumbleweed blows in the wind*

That's poor even by your standards Rob. :wink:

[Drakkenmensch]

*wolf howls in the distance*

[Hellfire_WZ]

Right, because of all the random crap I've got going on at the moment, I'm submitting an intermediate version (v1.05) that'll contain all the info for 1.1 minus the Classic 2 track guides which I'll have to do later. Should be up by tomorrow morning.
