Playing Pulse on PS2 right now

[Asayyeah]

Amorbis : you could also find a cheap component cable for ps2/ps3 (it works for both) and play it nicely through your ps2 if you still having some save problem ( or too much hassle to do it everytime)

Thanks for the tip Asa, but I think I'm fine with my PS3 . I seem to have a working profile with the only hindrance being it has to be manually loaded.

Leungbok that video is crazy! I'm going to try and work some of those shortcuts into my racing line, thanks!

hey,

i love wipeout and have been waiting for a long time to get a psp so i can buy pure. but just saw this today and am thrilled.

is pulse better than pure? is this a special edition- if i wait a while before buying, will it become hard to find?

i see it on amazon right now. really want so bad but am -£50 in bank and would have to borrow to buy it lol so if i can wait then id rather wait till i have the money.

This may have been asked already, and I apologize if it was answered, I did not see the answer myself.

I know I can order this from Europe right now. Will I be able to play it on my US PS3 or is it region locked? I have the original 60GB model with full Backward compatibility.

[Darkdrium777]

No, it won't.

[Rubix42]

Bummer. I would love to play those tracks on the big screen. Oh well, back to waiting on Fury...

Hey everyone, sorry this video is a bit late (a combination of loads of work / bad internet connection and really great weather delayed it!!!)

this one is just a look at a few other things not in parts 1 and 2. Not great gameplay or anything, but there it is.

enjoy.

What the **** happened to the PR on this one, Sony?

Still, it's a great addition. I love playing Pure, but that tiny screen coupled with that ferocious speed wrecks your head after a while. Phoned up some shops here in Ireland and it seems to be retailing at €39.99.

Gettin' it this evening - YAY ^^

[genjix]

ripoff- i just got it for £15 on amazon

[Nemhain]

I felt ripped off the moment I heard the price.

And now that I'm playing it I feel even more swindled. My PSP version never worked fully (which coincidentally I found today after losing it for 6 months) so today's the first time I've ever played Pulse; and comparing the substandard packaging, b/w book and ingame menu layout to Pure, makes me feel Pulse is really cheap.

Not to mention those constant 40 sec loading times and lag (music stutters when you switching through the team ships... ffuuu) make this a disappointment. Gonna try and get into the gameplay, that might redeem it all....

[leungbok]

Yes pulse ps2 is far from the psp version in terms of contents. No online, no skin editor, no possibilities of creating his own grids (i suppose, i have to finish the phantom grid^^). And Also the loading time is horrendous. But one thing is awesome with pulse ps2, it's the feeling of speed, it's over HD and pulse psp, maybe even over fusion.

WOOHOO!!! my copy arrived today from game.co.uk...

wish I could play WipEout Pulse right now...but my PS2 is at my gf's place...

bugger...

Is there much difference between the handling/physics form PS2 Pulse and Wipeout HD?

[Rapier Racer]

Yeah big time! Pulse PS2 handling is simply atrocious no other way of putting it. HD handling is a thousand times better.

[Asayyeah]

You can get used to it Stephen, it's just a matter of time but the big question is : Will pulse ps2 still be played when Fury will be released soon ? ermmm i am not sure at all

[Nunalho]

Well, i played the game yesterday and i was utterly disappointed!

- The game runs very poorly, crappy framerate;
- Letters are hard to read, they seem out of focus;
- Graphics are poor for a PS2 game, they seem overall better on PSP;
- HUGE ASS Loadings;
- It´s a strait up port from the PSP that does not even allow me to change the air brakes to R2/L2, lamme;
- The only part that is superior to the PSP version are the ships that have somewhat better detail, but overall Pulse on the PSP looks and plays better.

I ll stick with HD and PSP pulse.

[KIGO1987]

Might be the reason why the bloody game isnt coming to Aus. I might take you up on that offer Arnaud, because i wouldnt mind having this game to my collection. Pulse is really good game, worst factor about of it, is its loading times. Interesting thing is, when you think about it, this is the first Wipeout game on the Playstation 2 in 7 YEARS!!!!!!!

Your 1st 3 points are imo related to your cable : i hope you have a lcd tv (or a sdtv compatable)then you ll only need to buy a component cable (YuV) cause tbh it looks far better than psp in those conditions and feeling of speed is faster aswell.

Kieran : tell me if you want it now ( brand new or cheaper 2nd hand one?) and give me your adress through msn.

I don't have the patients for it Arnaud lol I can't stand how rough and poor the framerate is after being spoiled by HD for so long, did the PS2 always looks that bad?

As far as playing it after Fury arrives well, I ain't playing it now really bought it for collection purposes.
