Pulse on PS2 now official!

[ColdRem'S]

Like said in the title, Wo Pulse has officially been announced on PS2. The release date is scheduled to be on the 3rd of september.
I'm sorry for all of those who have bought a PSP for this game :-

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.

[ColdRem'S]

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!

[Vincent_VII]

Yes! I normally hate cross platform releases from PSP to PS2 but this could mean neGcon support! Pulse with neGcon = win!

[Rubix42]

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.

hmmm maybe you should have been at the tournament in the USA?
but the pulse going to be on ps2
that isn't to big either...

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

[Sausehuhn]

You forgot something: it's not Pure!!

[Rapier Racer]

lol yes theres also that small issue.

[DawnFireDragoon]

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.

[Lance]

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.

[Albino Ace]

So, aside from there being no online play for the PS2 version (correct me if wrong ), any (major, mostly) differences between this version and the PSP version?

[Rubix42]

Differences? The main one being that it will look super slick on my living room TV!

The PSP component cables are not worth buying really, and nothing beats all the lights off, sound pumped up, and just a giant screen of nose cone camera and the track flying at you.

[Echthroi]

Honestly, I remember back when I thought they were done...I thought they were going to stop making Wipeout right before Wipeout Fusion was released...but one day I looked in a store catalogue and there it was...Fusion. I remember that day well. I was doing cartwheels and gymnast floor routines like you wouldn't believe. I was a happy child. Haha.

According to Gamecentral (channel 4 teletext uk) wipeout pulse is out tomorrow for the ps2, according to amazon and play.com its out next week for the ps2, does anyone have any info on this? did they make it negcon compatible by any chance? i cant find any info anywhere!

~doesnt matter, i just found the thread!

[Cyberio]

I pre-ordered, because yesterday it wasn't in Madrid yet. Probably tomorrow or Monday i will have it.

Am I the only one here who hasn't a PSP and are expecting this game as if it is new? lol

[AnErare]

A Dutch online warehouse had it up for pre-order for a few months saying it would come today but today it says next friday..
