Pulse Preview Code Impressions!

[RJ O'Connell]

Rapier Racer: I knew Assegai in Pure could actually take some damage. But the FX400 installment is tied for lowest shield rating with EG-X (7/10), although when Icaras is release you can be assured they'll be taking the crown of "Easiest to Destroy" with flying colours.


And sigh, here's another piracy issue rearing it's morbidly obese and ugly head...it doesn't surprise me that someone and anyone could find that demo and irresponsibly put it on the web. I actually typed "Wipeout Pulse" in a search on a Torrent client and found the EU preview code was being offered by two clients. I refrained from downloading it, because I have too much respect and gratitude to Studio Liverpool to do such a thing as pirate off the preview code and give the proverbial middle finger to all of your efforts.

Though if you honest-to-God absolutely positively have to get it off the web, it would make absolutely perfect sense not to go to this forum and discuss how "omgz liek i just gots the pulse demo off of mininova it rulz guys srsyl". Talk about shooting yourself in the foot with a rocket launcher, jeez!

The fact that the developers and others involved with the series interact and discuss with the people that simply enjoy playing the games is something I like here. What other game community does that? Sadly, not many. Jeopardising such a bond would lead to even bad things down the road and would likely lead to something like the fall of Overtel for the Wipeout community. And that would be a damn shame.

There's my two cents.

Well done.

Sweet! I take full credit! I'll hope the cheques in the mail!

Just kidding. I have to say the game is looking absolutely amazing, and like others have stated, I really haven't been this excited about a new game (or anything for that matter) for an extremely long time.

Well done guys. Hurry up, September!

Ah yes you are correct, don't get your hopes up though! You'll still have a hard time trying to kill me

7/10 sounds like plenty, if it were something like 5 out of 10 then that could have posed a problem

[The Gracer]

Yeah, its pretty pathetic when people cant wait for the legitimate demos and games, and begin to revert to 'other methods' to fix their impatience.

Frankly, im glad Rob takes such a forceful stance on the issue - losing the relationship we have with SL could be quite dramatic, as this is practically an 'official' WipEout fansite. Without Rob or Colin, this would just be another nerdy little fansite.

(oh crap, does belonging to a fan forum make me a nerd?! just saying 'fan forum' makes me cringe. )

Now that ive got that off my chest....

Pulse looks amazing! Well done SL, it looks like the next installment is still going much to my liking. Which is how i like things to run. Hehe.

[q_dmc12]

Amen to that!

Hmm.., its not a fan forum *queue cringe* - its an idea farm.

[The Gracer]

idea farm? does that make me a battery hen?! Is that worse than being labbled a nerd?!

These questions and more answered in next installment....

Just posting to support Studio Liverpool. Keep up the amazing work guys and you're sure to get my good money for Pulse.

Post removed by me. I didn't mean to offend (i think thats the right word) anyone. Apologies.

[Rapier Racer]

Uh, I can't really believe you actually went ahead and posted that

[rageagainstgeorge]

Removed by me. See below post.

It's not about anyone being afraid of losing their money. I suggest to read this again, rageagainstgeorge:

On this point, I also apologize for my previous Custom Firmware-related posts. My intent was good, as well as that of other posters was. I just missed the tact to see the bigger picture.

[rageagainstgeorge]

i've removed the post. I really didn't mean to offend or upset anyone. I was just excited about Pulse, that's all.

I don't want to get into an argument about piracy either. I'll reiterate: I don't support piracy in anyway, and will certainly be buying a legal copy of the game (maybe more than one if regions get different content).

On a side note, my friend, who's version i played, will also be buying a copy of the game.

UPDATE:

I've read a lot of information around the site. I didn't realise that this had happened before and that the poster was such an idiot.

I only posted this to give some more info regarding Pulse. If i'd have bothered to read all the other posts and annoucements I certainly wouldn't have posted it. Sorry.

[Asayyeah]

No worries George.
I can understand all this excitation around Pulse but we need to be careful and strict on few points to let this community living as long as we can.

Imagine on september when we all have the final UMD in hands, this will be brilliant! that's the unique point we need to keep in mind.

[rageagainstgeorge]

I realise that now. I got a little carried away. Roll on September!

[RJ O'Connell]

It could be September here.

It could also be October, but that's beside the point. I'm doing all I can aside from stealing to get myself amped for this game. Mag-Strips, Proton Cannons, EG-X, Loops, Drops, Sweeps, Pings, Pongs...

I'm doing all I can aside from stealing to get myself amped for this game.

And it's not as if it was the one and only game ^^ Plenty to play during summer on my side (FFXII, only 240 Golds in purE so far, WO3SE if I ever get my PS2 back *argh*.)

I don't exactly know why, but I don't even feel tempted to download the preview .iso
Maybe that's because I'm pretty sure it would completely ruin my experience with pulsE, what with its being a "preview". I'd rather experience the finished game at its fullest, than buy it prejudiced by having played a preview, thus knowing all its flaws or already being bored of 5 tracks (10 if you count their reverse versions too) of the game.
Anyway, I really like what I'm seeing on eLhabib's blog, although it's somehow already too much I know. I should refrain from spoiling myself with pulsE information from the net ^^

Though I do appreciate what we`ve been shown so far, I understand your point about not wanting to see too much. I don`t want to spoil that moment of unwrapping a new Wipeout game, the great smell of the factory and plastic wrapping, then slotting it into my PSP, discovering all kinds of lovely amazing surprises, and it not coming out of the umd slot again while I play the arse off it for two years or so.

Sorry, for off-topic, but is it really going to be out on September? Need to know so I don't blow all of my cash on the holidays.
