[infoxicated]

That is sort of dependant on how much space you have in the first place!

Since I can't find any mention of it in this thread since feb 8th, has anyone seen this...?

...for those too lazy to click ; ) , let me just quote from eurogamer.net:

"Sony has said it will be releasing fresh tracks and craft for WipEout Pulse every week throughout February.

The first of these was released yesterday. This Mirage Pack introduced the all-rounder Mantis craft and fresh tracks Egewinter White, based in a busy city on a storm-racked island, and Vostock Reef, an undersea circuit with fishes and things.

Following on 14th February is the Icaras pack. Inside is a speedy craft with bad shields, alongside Egewinter Black and fiddly Moroccan course Gemini Dam White.

The Harimau Pack will spring up a week later, containing a relatively fast craft with good handling, subterranean track Orcus White, and North African course Gemini Dam Black.

Finally the Auricom Pack will arrive on 28th February. Its ship is a mystery but is said to be very fast, with Orcus Black and Vostock Reef White courses rounding out the bundle.

All of these will be available from the PC Store to download and transfer to your PSP, and each will presumably cost GBP 3.49 like the Mirage Pack.
"

...all this would have made me jump with joy, if it wasn't for that last alinea...

Ok, this is how the story goes...

I spent 40€ on "Wipeout Pulse" because i love the series (we all know that PSP games are not hard to find in ISO files...) and now they charge 5€ for the download packs?

In PURE they were FREE!

No sir, i wont pay for the packs.

As a long WO fan (since 1996) i feel disapointed for the first time...

[Kyang]

I don't feel disappointed at all. After all, these developers, and whoever else is getting a cut of those five euros, have to earn a living as well.


That said, I don't feel like shelling out additional cash for some bonus features that have a low probability of being used online, since it appears that in order to enjoy a pack online, everyone in the game needs to have it as well, in addition to the fact that these packs only split up an already small online community.


I simply won't be buying them.

[miufs]

I know that mate but i didnt say where to find them or that i used them.
I just said that they are easy to find, which is something we all know...

If i say that a person can be killed by a gun that does not make me a killer at all... lol

[Mad-Ice]

I think you are about to be banned!! Or am I missing something!?

[miufs]

For what exactly!?

[infoxicated]

Alucioj has been banned for being a piece of excrement, and this thread has been merged into the existing download pack discussion.

Going through the two tracks, Edgewinter has some nice sounds, though most of them seem to be from Arc Prime and Metropia, but I'm surpirsed there doesn't seem to have been much made of the underwater setting for Vostok Reef in the sounds.

Though I guess as soon as I go to sleep mode it wouldn't matter anyway (poor Stephen O'Callaghan must feel like he wasted his time a bit there), but I would have thought there was loads of potential for some deep sounds of water and those subs and stuff.

did I miss something? all he said was he had a 2gb memory stick??

[Hellfire_WZ]

The offending post has more than likely been deleted

Anyway, I've also splashed out on the download pack. Not so much for Mirage as it'll take something special to drag me away from Triakis but mainly for the new tracks. Edgewinter seems quite tricky, plenty of sharp corners to keep you on your toes in Phantom, haven't tried Vostok Reef yet

[Fascia]

subterranean track Orcus White

Interesting, looking forward to it

Thy answer.

[P52Smith]

From looking at the WipEout Pulse official website (www.wipeoutpulse.com) I am looking forward to trying Gemini Dam, eventually when I'm allowed to buy the packs

[Ricanebleu]

In the end I think the biggest problem is not necessarily the price of the DLC but the fact that the ships are not on line playable and that do to the absence of a credit card not everyone can have it, which is frustrating to want it and not being able to get it for technical reasons. After all you don’t have to buy them all at once, and putting one buck aside each … month lets say, you won’t even feel it.

………probably I shouldn’t say anything but still, ……I believe we made already a point about what the arrival of the pack in its payable form means to us, so …probably it is enough. After all it is just a game and the free will of buying or not is still there, it is really not necessary to curse anybody or be disrespectful, we are supposed to be a “family” no ?.

OFF TOPIC :When I first posted in this thread I used a lot of quotes. The reason I did this is because I felt that somehow things were going towards pure fury in here, fueled by each post that it was placed. I wonted to make an (clumsy) x-ray picture of what it really mattered. I suspected I over did it and I came back on my post to see if I’m right or not. It seems I was right and Lance corrected my mistake. My apologies for my bad and thanks (I assure there is no sarcasm in here, I’m new in the forum area, in fact this is the only one I visit, and there for I appreciate all your help and input)

Also, I know it isn’t much but…. my condolences infoxicated and thank you for a wonderful site.

Good post there, Ricanebleu.

I'd echo your statements and encourage everyone to sit tight and wait for the "end game" in this saga. Like I said before, I cannot comment specifically on the matter because of the position I'm in, but rest assured there are people listening to the (occasionally) reasoned comments posted in this thread.

[the_Admiral]

Currently I'm enjoying the 2 new tracks in the 1st download pack at the moment, as they give the game a bit of a refresh IMO. Certainly looking forwarded to the up-coming packs.

Infoxicated, do you know whether the Rankings part of the Wipeout site will be updated to include uploaded profile data for the new tracks? I was kinda hoping with loads of good zoners boycotting the DLC, I might have a chance to get a good ranking (Before they inevitably relent and buy it.)

i just hope SL has something to say about the way they release their content.

i really do.

lol. I see that you are a true student of human nature.
