Am I the only one here buying ALL the launch games?

Lord Error · Mar 2, 2005

The tears of joy flow from my eyes like the particle effects of a vintage Future Crew demo.

:lol Awesome

man, Future Crew did some awesome PC demos too. I remember trancing out to that shit back in 1991.

FC only did PC demos as far as I know. Well, they still kinda do (3D Mark anyone?

Amiga was THE machine for the scene demos back then, though. So many amazing group did stuff on it!

With that said, the description of Zone mode in Wipeout Pure made me all teary eyed. I absolutely love that kind of visualization, and it seems like they put it to some really good use. Is this the only Wipeout game that has such a mode?

I'm suprised at the lack of celebration of this Aphex news! You people obviously don't know who Richard James is! After playing Pure, you'll know. *devious grin* Yes, you'll know. AND YOU'LL TURN INTO RAVENOUS APHEX FREAKS YOU WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fear not! I know for a fact Richard James has his fans on this board, and so does Chris Cunningham, who directed his best videos. I wonder if the music featured in this Wipeout will be his newer, crazyexperimental stuff.

His newer stuff (Analord) is old school Acid Techno. Not much "crazyexperimental" stuff going on there... Knowing him, he'll just grab any old DAT off the shelf and send it off. Heh. but still, top news!! Game looks awesome.

Jonnyram · Mar 2, 2005

Speaking of which, does anyone know who made the music on the wipeoutpure.com trailer? Sounds like a mix of AFX and Cold Storage... probably the latter though. I love AFX myself, though I like the old stuff a lot more than the recent releases.

I think some mid-period Squarepusher Jenkins would be great for the Wipeout vibe. Think Port Rhombus or A Journey to Reedham a la 1998.

Is this the first video game to feature RDJ?

24 launch games?

Yes, I do believe you have to be the only one!

On Earth!

PSP = 250 + 960 for all the games (if you get them at a 39.99 deal!)

Unless you get them for dirt cheap and are cheating

For that price I think you could buy that 100" screen you claim to need to play F-Zero GX and play it for God's sake !!!!!!!!!

absolutely fantastic!

Also, how is the ghosting / colour bleeding? not a problem?

I didn't notice any ghosting / colour bleeding when I saw WP last Jan. But then again I didn't notice it in Ridge Racers either. They were both running on SDKs screens.

When I got my JP PSP + RRs that's when I started to notice the bleeding.

So yeah, I second your question

Yay! I love that video too, even though it still slightly bugs me when it skips to the 'climax' in the final parts. Just doesn't sound right to me after listening to the single for so long. Still, it's hilarious. I've shown it to my friends and they all burst out into hysterical laughter when she turns around and it looks like those guys are gonna barf while running in terror.
:lol

His later Aphex stuff would work best. "Mt. Saint Michael/St. Michael's Mount" would be the perfect song for a Wipeout track and make for the most epic Wipeout race ever! I hope that song is included, plus 3 entirely new tracks we've never heard before!

I think some mid-period Squarepusher Jenkins would be great for the Wipeout vibe. Think Port Rhombus or A Journey to Reedham a la 1998.

"Theme from Ernest Borgnine" would rule too.

Speevy · Mar 2, 2005

I wouldn't buy all the games, since there's a very real possibility that at least World Tour Soccer sucks.

Lord Error · Mar 3, 2005

So, it's confirmed that Wipeout will use licensed music tracks, some kind of compresed audio stream basically (not midi or that kind of music). It is also confirmed that there will be downloadable music. Now, I *really* hope someone will figure out their music format (I know they are not using MP3 or ATRAC) and make a software that converts any music file into that format.

You are talking about Windowlicker video right? Cunningham also directed a video for Come to Daddy, which is one of my favorite videos of all time (for one of my favorite songs

OK, i was thinking about his previous album (I think it was previous) that sounded pretty weird and experimental.

His last album? It's Druqs, right? I love it. Especially the nice pretty piano songs.

Have I mentioned that Wipeout Pure will also feature new downloadable race tracks? And I heard today that the developers will also have a website that'll let players remix their favorite songs (from the soundtrack, I presume) and then download that onto their PSPs as well. WHAT WON'T WIPEOUT PURE HAVE?

I knew about the downloadable tracks. But the last thing? Remixes your favourite songs?

Holy. Shit.

Wipeout Pure jumps ahead 8000 leagues.

aoi tsuki · Mar 3, 2005

Despite all this, why do i have a feeling the game will be largely overlooked, partially due to Twisted Metal and Ridge Racers stealing some of the racing spotlight?

Great King Bowser · Mar 3, 2005

First time I'll have ever owned (and played) a Wipeout, seriously.

But colour me fucking impressed. I'll be importing a nice US copy. Huzzah.

I wonder how big these tracks will be? (In terms of MB on memory stick)

Dev interview vid up at Gamespot mentions that they hope downloadable tracks will basically double the number of tracks from what it'll ship with (16).

Yeah, that one. I definitely like it, just not sure if those songs would fit to a game like Wipeout.

Yeah, I've heard about the remix thing. I almost couldn't believe it...

Aizu_Itsuko · Mar 4, 2005

Ok, I was going to wait until it had more games, but if WipeOut Pure is as good as it sounds I'm going to buy it at launch.

Chespace, I need some info here, please:

Does WO Pure play more like the original WipeOut or like the sequels? I ask this because the first one is still my favorite in the series. It was all about driving your aircraft, looking for the best driving line from one boost pad to the next, positioning your ship's nose to increase your speed and taking the curves with perfect timing. Weapons just added some variables to the core gameplay.

On the other hand, the sequels were more focused on using your weapons (I specially dislike the "autopilot" and all these superweapons) and they also made the game more forgiving to mistakes, like hitting a wall or making the rocket triple. I was playing WO64 the other day and pretty much made a whole lap in autopilot.

If it plays like the sequels, does it have an option to disable some of the weapons or something? It could make the game so much better for me.

Can you make a list with the available tracks or am I asking for too much?

It looks gorgeous.

Add NBA Street and MLB to the list of delayed titles.

And why does Gran Turismo 4 show as shipping on March 29th? That can't be right.
