Wipeout PS3 INFO?!

[infoxicated]

I don't really want to spell this out, because, to the inteligent folk we have here on WipeoutZone, it should be pretty obvious how completely wrong this rumour is.

So, instead, I'll put forward the question; Did any of the F1 titles, or Wipeout Pure, use the WRC engine developed by Evolution Studios?

[rdmx]

*expects someone to find a very logical answer to foxy's question*

Um... No?

[Cannon_Fodder]

Yeah, how gullible can you be! It's obvious Pure used the Loco Roco engine!

If only it had used the music...

Errr...

[infoxicated]

Yeah... if only!

[RingoSpoon]

Not played loco for ages I will need to fire it up later..

Anyway..

Has anyone got any information on where that fantastic F5000 Tilt pic came from ?

I watched the intro to 2097 the other week...if only Wipeout PS3 played like that Awesome

Although wipeout for the PS3 might not end up using the Motorstorm engine, Sony did set up their World Wide Studios this gen specifically so that other Sony teams could share technology, this wasn't available last gen.
Aren't other Sony teams using the rain effect from F1 CE?
Evolution also stated that there were at least 2 other games in the works using their Motorstorm engine.

The first time I seen Motorstorm I thought to myself... if only the next Wipeout had that engine I hope you are right mate

[Cannon_Fodder]

Out of interest, why "if only the next Wipeout had that engine"?

Sony Liverpool wrote their own engine for Pure, wrote their own engine for F1 PS3 and all their previous games (I believe), why don't you think they could do as good/ better job for Wipeout PS3?

Given we haven't seen anything of a new PS3 Wipeout, it seems a little early to doubt it's quality. Alternatively, they go and grab the Motorstorm engine and you're happy

And... do you know, guys, if it will be possible to play in internet with PSP by the next PS3?

[Sausehuhn]

Got that info which doesn't exactly say rumble is planned for PS3, but imo there's a big chance that it's supposed to be.
So, SL, please integrate a bit rumble-code in the next WipEout. If not for original PS3 controllers, than for 3rd-party controllers or for the force feedback steering wheel thingie.

This is what an article in Ars Technica says [partial quote:
>
Just last week, Sony was still justifying taking out rumble by calling it a "last-gen" feature. While Sony executives can be commended for staying on message, it is a little jarring when the message changes so quickly. "We look forward to exploring with Immersion exciting new ways to bring the largest and best range of gameplay experiences to our customers," said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group COO of Sony. Suddenly, rumble isn't "last-gen" any more.

Yeah the rumble got removed as it interferes with the six-axis tilt mechanism im sure.

No doubt the tilting will get implemented in some way - hopefully not much as I have heard poor reports about it.

[Thruster2097]

I can only speak from experience here. It's pretty much what i do anyway but this time its justified ;D
The introduction of the DualShock motors to the pad revolutionised how feedback was provided to the player. Nintendo were pretty much on the pulse with this new idea, quickly followed suit, come to a stage now that a controller that does not rumble seems dead.
This time round, Nintendo are leading the way with the Wii; total manuverability, rumble feature, wireless, blue LED (and yes they're important!)

If the sixaxis can go any way to emulate the greatness of the Wii's peripheral range, scope, practicality and feedback thenim goini gt be impressed!
Really dont see why a rumble motor can or will interfere with the gyroscopes!

[Rapier Racer]

Interfering with the tilt mechanism what a lot of crap they just didn't want to pay up!

[JABBERJAW]

And actually have more than two buttons

Could GDC tomorrow be the big announcement day? From Sony`s press release:

"Phil Harrison's keynote presentation, "Game 3.0: Developing and
Creating for the 3rd Age of Videogames," will kick off the conference on
March 7th, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PST. The speech will focus on the
key components of Game 3.0 -- community, user-generated content,
collaboration and commerce -- all highlighted through live demonstrations
of previously un-announced services and games for PLAYSTATION(R)3
(PS3(TM))."

I can`t think of any other un-announced PS3 games, though that`s surely because they haven`t been announced yet. Going by what we`ve read in recent interviews with Sony execs, Wipeout would seem to fit right in to what Phil Harrison will be talking about.

*raises lighter in air*
*lighter fails to ignite*
Dammit!

I hope it is about PS3 wipeout
