In a recent interview with Kikizo, Tony Buckley, the game director for the WipEout franchise at SCEE Studio Liverpool, revealed a few more exciting details about their upcoming PSP title, WipEout Pulse. One of the main points of interest about the game is its revolutionary customization mode. Here's the gospel according to Buckley:

I've got a customised skin, downloaded it onto the Memory Stick, and these are ones that have been opened as part of the game, someone has done a tiger skin at work, a zebra skin, and these are obviously designs that stand out a bit... we expect people to be more creative than this though.

Once people have created their ship they can download it into the game. We don't want to be anal about the visuals but they are a massive part of the game. So why not share it, you know, with Photo Mode... at any point of the game I can hit start and pause it, you've got your usual options and photo mode is one of them.

You can fiddle around with the camera and turn the HUD on and off. You get a shot that you like and then hit X when you're done, and it saves it to the Memory Stick... all the shots in my presentation earlier were from Photo Mode. And it's also a bit of fun. It's that idea that once you've got it, you can throw it up onto the website or do a competition to design a ship, and you know, winner gets a date with me, or whatever!

The music in the game can also be customized to suit a player's tastes. Players can create custom playlists by simply putting MP3 files in their Memory Sticks. "Race to Walking on Sunshine if you like," says Buckley. "We'll allow you to do it."

And what about a WipEout title for the PS3? Buckley says that "it's obvious" they would be doing a WipEout title for Sony's next gen video game console, but declined to reveal more details aside from pointing towards "an announcement in August". WipEout Pulse is slated for a September release.

I have been a fan of Wipeout Pure so I will definitely be looking forward to this game, while there was some room for improvement in Wipeout Pure it was the best non-realistic racing game I have played so far (not to say being unrealistic is a bad thing, I prefer almost invincible cars and turbo rocket boosters).

Being able to use your own music and custom paint jobs in the game is pretty cool, but what about the possibility of designing custom tracks? That is one feature I would love to see,a nd would add more replay value to the game.

As for a PS3 title, a number of people in my area claim that the PS3 is in need of a title that would make the console system worth purchasing so let's hope that works out.

But those custom skins they're talking about, are they for the menu (like the downloadable skins in pure) or for the ships, cause i want to be able to totally customize my ship, not just the skin. And that photo mode is one hell of a hot idea, i'm going to use that function millions of times :p. i just hope they release it in the summer vacation instead of september, probably not i think.
