What I already said 10000 times here (I love to compare it with Pulse) is that it feels more like flying, like psx wipeouts. Pulse feels almost like some Need For Speed, responsive, and there's a feel you're on tires. But that, for me, is not a drawback. It's excellent for a gameplay. (Pulse is IMO much easier than Pure)
I love the flow on Pure when I reach top speeds, I have a feel like I'm cruising the air, flying, I loooove that feel. And that's IMO the main difference between Pure and Pulse. Pure is more Wipeout. Won't long anymore.
Btw, welcome here, Will! Enjoy your stay.
