10 Things I hate about WipEout Pulse

[Frances_Penfold]

Well, I'm not completely sure-- there's no easy way to quantify the framerate. But the game feels somewhat "smoother" to me without music, and maybe easier to execute barrel rolls? It could just be my imagination.

There's no question, however, that it improves the load times and dramatically reduces UMD useage. Make sure you manually select OFF each song in the soundtrack-- don't just turn the music volume to 0%. Basically, you should only have the UMD drive running when you first load a track-- from then on, you shouldn't experience any UMD useage and you will find very fast re-load times if you re-start the race. This works in Wipeot Pure as well-- it even removes the damn sleep mode glitch!

You may also want to experiment with turning the HUD off, especially for time trials, where you don't really need it. I haven't decided if this has an effect on the game or not.

I'm hoping some of y'all will try this and see what you think-- curious to know if it's just my imagination
