The site needs a little tweaking, I like it! I'm just now looking at some the team descriptions.

I noticed a historical error in the Pirhana summery though. First, the F5000 league was established during the 2090s. Not the 2160s. The first pirhana craft also had weapons. It wasn't until the F7200 league did they attempt to win hearts and minds with their bullsh*t peace and zen approach to AG-racing which they abandoned by the time the F9000 league came around.

I had also hoped for multiple views of all the craft kind of like what we got on the Wipeout Fusion website. No such luck on that one I guess. :(

Also, what the heck is with the Assegai description that is under the pirhana one? o_O

Actually, you might wanna go play those games again, yes there is a typo and it should have been 2060 not 2160 (I'd have picked a later date in the 2080s or early 2090s myself) but in the F5000 league Piranha didn't use weapons at all, this wasn't peace and zen crap it was just cause the ship really didn't need any (arrogance from the engineers) by the F7200 league they have weapons but at great cost. They completely lost the ability to spell, they couldn't even remember their own team name. :lol: By the F9000 league they were now talking peace and zen crap, or at least their lead pilot was and the second was interested in it.

Also, what the heck is with the Assegai description that is under the pirhana one? o_O

Er, I think they included bits of Assegai's history in the Piranha section because Piranha acquired them for a while so it was quasi-relevant to the Piranha history. Of course they really need to add a dedicated Assegai page, and replace all those 'z's with speech marks and hyphens.

I had also hoped for multiple views of all the craft kind of like what we got on the Wipeout Fusion website. No such luck on that one I guess.

Probably not what you're interested in but I'm currently making some vaguely acurate orthographic drawings/blueprints of older WO craft, starting with the 2097 FEISAR and the w'o"1 craft as they're all roughly the same. Very tough as the CGIs conflict with the low poly ingame models quite drastically and all the pictures available are from odd angles which makes recreating the ships' proportions rather difficult.

Cammodude

25th March 2005, 05:34 AM

in the F5000 league Piranha didn't use weapons at all..

You're sure about that? I could have sworn I fired off a few missles and the like with Pirhana in Wipeout 64 (which, as I understand it, is simply 2097 for the N64 system.) But then that could have been a change made spacifically for Wipeout 64. Either that or I am delusional and should play the games again. If it's the latter, playing the games again, sadly, is something I can't do right at the moment since I'm lacking in any kind of game console. Although I bet I could easily pick up a Playstation 1 for dirt cheap nowadays if I wanted to play the first three wipeout games.

they really need to add a dedicated Assegai page, and replace all those 'z's with speech marks and hyphens.

Absolutely. Those 'z' things really screwed with me while I was reading the descriptions.

Probably not what you're interested in but I'm currently making some vaguely acurate orthographic drawings/blueprints of older WO craft..

Aha. To the contrary, I'd be VERY interested in seeing them since I have absolutely jack squat in the way of reference pictures for the craft from Wipeout 1 and 2097. I'm a bit of a LEGO geek, and I sometimes dabble in making wipeout models from LEGO. I'd love to model some of the early craft, but, as I have just stated, I don't have any reference pictures or schematics to go on. Nor do I have the games themselves that would allow me to get my references straight from them.

Wipeout 64 Piranha (Piranha II) can fire weapons, yes. It IS the F5000 league, but from 2098, not 2097. According to the manual, the Piranha team built a lighter body tech for the 2098 season, which enabled them to add weapons to their ships.

I have to say, I like the Japanese site a lot more. It has more style in itself, whereas the US site is more like an unpolished listing of features, screens and information. I was wondering, though. Why would they bring it online only after the release of the game? Maybe Pure they have so much fate in Pure that they don't even care about publicity. ;)

Probably not now it's gone live, but I'll ask on Tuesday when I'm back in.

It's very annoying, actually - the date typo in the Piranha story was my fault, but then a lot of that stuff was written last November as an over view and only a brief summary of each story is meant to be used for the web. This is the actual web version of the Piranha story:

From the day Piranha Advancements’ unarmed prototype rocked the F5000 league in the late 2090’s, their consistently strong performance has been the envy of almost every other team. Their trademark sleek, fast craft have remained competitive through each evolution of anti-gravity racing and, in the hands of the right pilot, have dominated the opposition. Always mysterious, Piranha is back for the FX300 league with a ship secretly developed over an unknown time period in anticipation of the return of professional AG racing.
See - no typo mistakes in there. ;)

Looks like they copied and pasted the content straight from the original word documents, due to all the weird characters that are showing up for apostrophies and hyphens. That just shows lack of attention to detail for me - rich I know since the copy with the typo is originally mine - a read through of that by someone who gave a damn would have picked those mistakes up.

Talking of copying, if you guys love the music so much( i did), go to the temporary internet files folder once the songs have been played or forwarded and find it. copy the files to another directory and there you have it. Four mp3s from wipeout pure. But since this breahes copyrights, i'd only do it if i [ahem] owned the game or the soundtrack album.

Prometheus

26th March 2005, 12:19 PM

could someone not make it into a movie file like that was done on the www.wipeoutpure.com website.. somone on these forums turned the intro vid into music, video and animation... even a screen saver...

If that's allowed, i don't see why this can't be...

Perhaps this time I should just tell people how to do it and to keep it to themselves, maybe.

27th March 2005, 10:35 AM

it's be great if you could tell us how to do it. I really liked the vid you made last. compressed it a bit and transferred the mp4 to my P900.. watch it on the train every once in a while :)

The weird thing about the copyright is that we're not suppose to have copies of the files stored... yet that's how the internet works... files from the website are copied to the hard drives temp internet files. I did find the mp3s as well as some swf files but I dont have anything to read them.

Anyway Ally, we all do appreciate you sticking your neck out for the last vid. If you have any instructions on how we might do it for this site, that's be cool. cheers

I couldn't find mp3 files stored, but I did find tracks.xml, which is used by the flash movie. It contains the list of URLs for the mp3's on the server. You're right though, the law which governs internet usage is built on pretty unstable foundations, and relies on the relative naivety of the users. What makes me laugh is when stock photography/similar sites try and protect the images they are presenting on the web... the right click disabled etc.

i am not an expert on legality, or even morality, though i have a bit of a handle on ethics, but i am tempted to delete the instructions. however, Rob should be the final arbiter on this one, since he knows more about the legalities, and he works for Sony [who could be very unhappy in his direction if they choose], and this is his board that he pays for. until he has made a decision about this, i will delete any further instructions on extracting files from the site. even if they are for personal use, once the files are available to anyone, they tend to become distributed to anyone who wants to take them. so hold off on the instructions on how to do it, please

Thrusty, I know that this may be a field to which you may not get close to, but still, i think that these files, once downloaded to my PC, either I wanted them to be downloaded or not, are on MY pc, and if they are there, they are mine to do whatever i want them to do (of course in the boundaries of my own PC, so no reproduction and distribution). This may be dodgy to you, but it's completely legal to me.

Sausehuhn

27th March 2005, 05:37 PM

erm.
don't want to say something wrong or something that could make trouble, but taking the music from the WOF-DVD is also illegal, isn't it?
Erm... and the most people here at the zone did exactly that without saying a word. so... An swf player is nothing illegal and i think the people that get this music don't want them just because they don't want to pay for them and destroy the music industries. They just want to listen to these wonderful tracks!
If there would be a Pure soundtrack (like it was with 2097) I bet these people would buy it, wouldn't they?
:roll:

sorry if I said something wrong, I don't want to fight.

Prometheus

27th March 2005, 05:53 PM

I do have to agree with Shem and Sausehuhn on this. The files are locally stored on the computer, in a high quality format. There are plenty of technologies that allow you to stream this music without the file actually being downloaded to the computer.
What strikes me is they use MP3s of all things... the record industries numero uno enemy.
I still don't see how moving a file which is practcally given to the user, to another location and letting the user play it as many time they want, is illegal. Surely the website shouldn't have made the transfer to the temp internet folder in the format it is in, in the first place as it it is actually "distributing" the track.
As for the swf... I'm not sure, they too are forcibly placed on hard drive (as they have always been with swf files). I've simply moved their location and found something freely available (and legal) to view them with.
As long as no one starts uploading the files and redistributing them, I figured its ok to reformat and edit a file that is placed on your hard drive and to share that instruction with others as much as someone asking someone else how to record from MP3 to Ogg.

Anyway I've removed the instructions as I see it's starting to cause concern that it may harm the site. But if someone could let me know if it is ok to place such instructions on the forums I'll post it again.

Lance

27th March 2005, 05:59 PM

as i understand it, and remember i am not a legal expert, it is the distribution without permission that is illegal, whether you sell the copyrighted materials or give them away.

giving instructions on how to copy a copyrighted file seems really like walking on the edge of a sword over a pit of molten lava, with the sword being the law, and the lava being the judicial system. definitely dodgy.

and Max, an objection was raised by Foxy about the hacking of Fusion's copyrighted music files [and that's the only kind it has]. and to Ally Graham's treatment of copyrighted files from Pure. this sort of thing is borderline illegal. which side or the border it falls on is questionable.

Prometheus, the difference between streaming and having the files on your own computer is like the difference between listening to radio and having the CD. radio stations pay a fee every time they play a copyrighted song. and ''consumers'' are supposed to pay for the songs when they buy the CD. if you take the CD without paying, or keep a permanent file of the material in your computer without having bought a copy of the material from the copyright holder, it's illegal. [my interpretation]

27th March 2005, 06:01 PM

Sausehuhun, I know you want to avoid fights, getting involved into disscusion about legal stuff, making Lance delete your posts and all that, BUT!!! - there's one thing you need to know about.

Once you buy a game, or a music CD, you can make a backup copy as long as you own the original. Bear in mind that the backup is for your private use, so no distribution, it's yours. You can even eat the CD if you feel like it (but don't share it with your mates, as it may be illegal, as they didn't pay for the game :lol: ), you can extract the music to your PC (the same you can do with Audio CD's, as long as you own the original copy of the Album), but don't distribute. In other words - you bought it - it's yours. End of the story.

As far as the US website concernes, and the fact that XP does download the site content to your PC, plus the fact that the music available on the site is for everyone to hear for free, I see no evil (whaaat? :wink: ) intentions (that's better...) in digging up these files, and watch them/listen to them.

27th March 2005, 06:37 PM

ok just so I can better understand this Paranoia that is copyright laws online,
using Lance's analogy, the mp3 files in question are the "CD" and the streaming of it is like the broadcasting of the "radio".
the thing is that we never "took" the CD. We never even asked for the CD... we wanted to use the "radio" to hear the music and it's as if we got the CD instead. So as long as we store the copy but not play it, we're ok.
Not that I'm arguing, but I just don't see how it makes sense to transfer a copy of a copyrighted file to someone else's property and then deem that person to be doing something illegal when they choose not to delete something which they were given. Like giving someone the CD (sigh... again with the analogy) and expecting them not to play it.

It's just my opinion that if the site decides to transfer the file in the location and format that it has, when there are much more secure options available, then it's the site who is breaking the copright law... they may have paid the copyright to play the track... they defintely don't have the copyright to transfer it to every vistors hard drive.

PS I would definately buy the soundtrack of pure... but 18 songs? surely a double album... oh yeah that would rock! they should include artwork too... I've always found the art work has never really been distributed in printed form. It's just ever been, game, website, and jpeg files. Magazines sometimes have them, but often as background to supplement their writing *runs fingers across the imprinted schematics of the pure ships on the EDGE magazine* :)

Shem

27th March 2005, 06:53 PM

hmmm, that does make perfect sense, if 'radio broadcast' is also considered a streamed transmission of 4 tracks only, without a real broadcast station and other legal papers whatsoever...If adding the fact that only XP stores that kind of files (if it really is true, i'm not familiar with previous Windows OS's) with its standard web browser which is IE, we can all blame Microsoft for developing a system that causes that kind of legal problems. Heh....it's all loose in that matter....i suggest we sue someone.

nobody ever said that laws are always rational, or even always right. it's just a matter of what you can be held responsible for under the laws that prevail at the time.

my biggest problem with copyright law as it has come to be interpreted at the behest of corporations, is that i think that copyright should only belong to the actual individual humans who create something, and that the created things should become public domain after their death or after a specified period [as patents do]. the laws, however, more and more tend to favour corporate private ownership in perpetuity. that seems quite wrong to me. why should anyone have to pay in order to play, for example, an old Paul Whiteman song from the 1920's when Paul Whiteman and most of his band were already dead by the 1960's?
or how about Elvis, if you like that sort of thing: why should you still be able to enforce a copyright on one of his performances, when you already received your payment for recording it 40 years ago?
.

Prometheus

27th March 2005, 07:15 PM

I agree. Copyrights were designed at a time when those private companies had the monopoly on the distribution of creative content (and the funding) and had to ensure that everything they came into contact with, was legally theirs so that they continue to recieve income on items they distributed many years ago and no longer promote.
But with the advent of computers, the internet and recordable media, I think people are starting to recognise these companies are nothing more than glorified delivery folk. They don't hold the monopoly of distribution because people now have the cheapest form; the internet and recordable storage.
So everything these companies claim to provide to artists can now be done themselves and at a fraction of the cost.

Lance :
As far as I know (at least in my country), copyrights are initially set on 25 years from the date of release or the date of copyright establishment. Now, from this point, i'm theorizing, as i'm no law student or anything. From this point, copyrights can be set on the next 25 years as long as they give profits to label companies. It would be just too wonderful to get rid of all copyrights when Elvis....as a brand....still makes tons of money. All the big heads owning corporations thought about it long time ago, and now we're just confused by all this commotion. I, myself, as an artist (i don't like to be called this way, but for the purpose of this conversation...), would like to own my copyrights on my songs until i die. After that, all the copyrights would vanish, and the song would be available to everybody for absolutely free. Yeah...that would be great....but it won't happen, because signing a record deal on these condiotions gives no money for a record company in case my tracks were absolute hits, and I died, taking away all the cash to my grave with me. So, it's either you want to sing for your friends in your garage, or deal with all the consequences, and get involved into the 'wonderful world of' copyrights=money.

Shem, since distribution is now essentially free, the only thing the record labels do that you can't do yourself is advertise on a large scale and protect the copyright from infringement [which they won't do unless THEY own the copyright]. if you want to make large amounts of money from your music, you pretty much have to have a label's advertising and protection, but they take most of the money and dole out to you only what you can force them to. if you just want people to hear your music, it's easy, but being famous will cost.

although it should be getting to the point, though, that music posted on centralised sites could become very widely known very quickly, though of course at no financial profit to the creator. however, the benefits to the ego could be high.

Ya, I know what you mean. :lol: But I still think it would be worth it, just think about attaching missiles and different types of weapons to the crafts when putting them together, awesome, and you could recieve a bit of history along with it. Setting the models on a timeline, and having blueprints of the crafts as well as different tracks throughout history, way cool. :P And then you could attempt to build a model of the track if you ever wanted to. :wink:

Nice vid. I would have thought they really should have gotten the website up and running long before release but what do I know? The Fusion site was great before it was released.

Now why would they leave that old vid there and not at least have a link to the actual site, I mean it's not like we should be expected to randomly refresh pages in case something new has happened.

Exactly!! What a waste!! :? They should have this a link to the actual site as well as the site address staying at wipeoutpure.com instead of us.playstation.yadda yadda, shouldn't they? :roll:

This is going to be that actual site - the US on you see is a microsite but this should be a whole lot more impressive :)

Oh btw that video is the one on the sampler demo disk apprently.

Ou, I see that I maybe posted the posting in the wrong thread. I don't meant the US site, I meant the offical site wipeoutpure.com (you can see that under my post).
I didn't want to make a new thread for this, I hope it's clear now:
I meant the site www.wipeoutpure.com

http://zugara.com/index.html

a company that creates company ''identities'', just like Good Technologies did for Fusion and the old Fusion website

next time, look up this sort of thing on Google; it was the first result. you will get an answer faster that way than by posting here and waiting for a reply that may never come

Under "English" There is no longer an option for USA.

There used to be.

Please explain!

I bet they don't want any more emails because they are about to launch the US site soon. Because it is May, and that May be when the first DL starts, eh?

Lance, sorry about that. My common sense just flew out the window.

I thought Zugara was a name of a guy. :lol: That would've been cool. 8)

I sure do hope that that is the reason, perfecide. It would suck without that ability to play online. 8O Well, not really, but it would be a little worse. :wink:

so far the official site for us and uk and so on seems to be more or less ready at:
http://dev6.bubblemedia.co.uk/
very nicely designed and fitting to the pure style.. i like the history they assembled, and am curious.. is the second video they have posted an alternate intro, used in the uk/jp release possibly?
anyway....

15th May 2005, 06:04 AM

good find there. the second video is actually the wipeout pure preview video that is featured on the psp umd sampler disk. the japanese version of wop has the same intro as the us version, and i would assume when the euro version comes out it will also be the same. what i really like from that site are the track diagrams, the US site uses some lame looking BG color and the japanese site doesent show the complete diagram. once again, good find. and btw, welcome to the zone.
