considering that pulse had customisable skins (oh I so miss that airlicker AG SYS) and didn't lag online, I would like to believe this won't be a problem. However, as you say, the code is being created from scratch - it could go both ways, it could be wonky as you say... or, with the combined experience of the dev team, they may tweak it to a level which we are happy with - I am trying to keep an optimistic outlook for this, simply because I believe wipeout as a title won't make a return to playstation anymore. Sad as that is, we have this one lifeline with FF... the fact that its a kickstarter project is slightly worrying for me - no financial backing, no real nada... it's an uphill climb for R8... and no promise of that barrel roll at the top if you know what I mean.
