Pulse lets you add up to 30 of your own MP3's. Pure and Pulse bring it all back in perfect style. The AI, weapons, look and feel are all there just waiting to be rendered in Beautiful blittering 1080p! Oh, man... I am really looking forward to this game. The sound tracks shouldn’t be a problem.

So, it's a rehash in HD, basically. And since it's a PSN game, I sincerely hope that Sony will not charge people an arm and a leg for it. Imagine if it came out as a £5 download? Wouldn't that be something? Will Sony be generous to it's fans...? WipeOut HD is made up of racing tracks and songs from Fusion, Pure and Pulse, I believe.

(I mean 'social' gaming, rather than online.) I remember the bot config options in Perfect Dark - they made a split-screen session last days, rather than mere hours. And yes, Timesplitters 2 was the last great game of that ilk... which is why Haze can't come soon enough! I hope WipEout HD has split-screen, but I fear that it will follow Burnout Paradise's lead in that respect... @Geoff

Thankfully there's a big enough community for there to always be enough split screen games in warhawk (usually anyway). But I mean come on, motorstorm would be awesome with split screen, so would wipeout; and there's no split screen in GT5:Prologue and I really hope that it's put into the final game. Come on lazy devs, the PS1 could handle split screen (btw crash team racing is greatest game of all time split screen - battle mode FTW) I'm also annoyed at the lack of bots in these next gen games. Bots have been pretty much a staple in fps split screen mode; I first noticed in area-51 for ps2 that there were NO bots at all. Playing just with 2 players in a huge map. Yay. I don't think I've played a better split-screen fps since timesplitters 2 tbh. Okay rant over. Wipeout is looking awesome by the way and if it has split screen against ai opponents I better retract my statements quick :P Actually, I don’t complain about warhawk’s split screen to be fair, because it is a _fantastic_ drop in/drop out online mode, however _every last one_ of the dedicated servers does not offer split screen for some bizarre reason.

I think we owe a lot of where the industry is now to Wipeout. @7

I remember the days of the PS1 era where to play wipeout with friends we needed to buy 2 consoles, 2 tvs and then connect them with a link cable. Oh how times have changed...
