What would you rather have?

[JABBERJAW]

What would you rather have given the new choices

1) PS2 pulse, with all the tracks from pure and pulse

or

2) PS3 wipeout HD. with 8 tracks (are they reversable?) with online play



I would choose Wipeout HD at this point I think, but a hard decision

[Darkdrium777]

Wipeout HD. I want.

And the tracks are not B/W in HD... That started and ended with Pulse.

[eLhabib]

well well well
hard decision really. PS2 Pulse with ALL TRACKS FROM PURE AND PULSE would be pretty awesome! but then the thing that turns the tables in favour of HD is the online play. SO VERY important nowadays. oh and the shiny graphics of course... ;)

[cybrpnk]

i'd get both...but IF i were to choose one??? HD definitely because of online and I really wanna try this sixaxis control scheme, see how fluid I can fly anti-gravity with this sucker...

however...IF the PS2 Pulse had online, and done properly...hmmm...

graphics hasn't really been that important for me for WipEout anyway...I still prefer the 'retroness' of 2097, the minimalistic PS1 graphics suited the future cool genre quite well even though it was all probably due to hardware limitations as well...

Sometimes, having only the essentials can keep you focussed on the important part, and because of that, can get you to perform better.

graphics are just a bonus of course. if the PS2 remake of Pulse had online play, with all Pure and Pulse tracks as mentioned before, it would win easily.

A PS2 variant of Wipeout Pure/Pulse would be good cause it appeals to a greater audience due to the total sales of the PS2 console since 1999, this would result in a greater percentage of sales therefore profits for Sony and SL. Would also good seeing the Pure/Pulse tracks on a console, lesser strain on the eyes.

But a PS3 further variant of Wipeout is required to continue the franchise development into the future and appeal to a greater audience of newer Wipeout fanatics.

Myself, personally what i would rather have Wipeout HD, but the decision comes close.

[Asayyeah]

My 1st choice will be focused on HD ( new wipeout on a new console with online mode ) and followed closely by pulse/pure ps2.

[eLhabib]

how very good to hear, Arnaud! I was starting to think you weren't gonna get HD and won't be available online due to your new circumstances. Man, I think my longing for HD is actually a longing for those good old early Pure days... :rock

[TheFrostE]

i'd have to go with HD, only because i've played out pure and pulse for now, and i bought my PS3 for a few games...BUT mostly for HD :p

[Medusa]

Well, I'd have to pick the PS2 game (if it ever gets released - I'll believe it when I see it...), simply because I've already got a PS2 and can't afford a PS3. Financial reasoning all the way.

[Harvai]

I'd say Pure/Pulse on PS2. Pure tracks + Pulse gameplay = DO WANT

Call me crazy but I've got little intrest in Wipeout HD, just the same as I had little intrest in Gran Turismo HD, which was GT4 but prettier. I'd rather bide my time and wait for the finished product. That, and it'll give me a big reason to buy a PS3. ****, I bought my PSP so I could play Pure and Pulse...

[eLhabib]

There is no 'final product' this time around. If wipEout HD doesn't sell, we can all forget the idea of a 'real' PS3 wipEout. That's the whole reason why wipEout HD wasn't released last September, as initially planned, because it had turned from an interims-project to a full-on title, hence they put in much more work than initially planned for it. (this is all educated guessing, by the way ;))
That's why you shouldn't put it on a level with GTHD, that's really just a teaser. Much more work has been put into wipEout HD.

I remember those times... 1996, was in high school... In montpellier, france, sony commercials invaded nightclubs, installing WO arcade demonstrations... I bought an ag-sys shirt, I was happy... They were history. Now, this is summer, there's no commercials in nightclubs demonstrating hd... What happened? times have changed. And SL/sony needs commercials (volunteers lol?)
