Fun fact: those region specific packs could be converted to US/EU/JP with a tool allowing the use of exclusive US ships and the Japanese exclusive Coca Cola Ships which won't change the AI...
The tool you are speaking of (dlc2dlc) only works for the Cokeship and AG-Systems Coca livery, all other DLCs crashes. WipEout Pure: Special Edition was updated to v4.0 with more improvements and the original AI restored/unaltered. It also has all 32 tracks playable in Zone mode, bugfixes, restores the unused thrust bar, everything unlocked and there are even custom DLCs (such as a mini HUD/the 4 Zone tracks playable in Race mode/JP language/custom menu skins). It's the definitive version of the game.
@@feisarfan96 Oh, the Stealth movie UMD includes a special WipEout Pure demo with an exclusive ship. (And yes, it’s got a reskinned Koltiwa.) And the Zone ship in Zone mode is replaced as well.
I can't tell you how awesome it is to see fresh, WipEout related videos pop up on this site, especially when it's by someone who has knowledge about the previous installments, and who's obviously done an insane amount of research to explain all of these packs. Love the way you talked about Classic Pack 2, because those issues about the track layouts not being nearly as on-point as the originals is the same feeling I've had about them. Also, I'm from the EU, and while I did know about the Coke DLC, the Stealth demo completely went under the radar ... tee hee. You're criminally underrated
Got a PSP with Wipeout on EU launch in 2005(it still works) and have been playing the Wipeout series ever since. I was a child back then so I just appreciated the free extra content, but it is crazy to think that this was the first DLC I ever downloaded.
Very cool, I wasn't aware of all this DLCs released in Japan and Europe for Wipeout Pure. I'll download the ISO containing all DLC + promotional content to play it on my PSP.
Absolute quality content as usual buddy. My favourite of the bunch is the Medievil ship (sooo slick) and the stealth demo bundle with the movie (which I owned!)
When my WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse UMDs caved in on themselves, I turned to piracy so that I could keep playing the games, installing custom firmware on my PSP. I then took the opportunity to finally experience all of WipEout Pure’s region-exclusive DLC, not to mention the WipEout Pulse DLC. (And I even ordered the Stealth movie UMD on Amazon!) 8:47 I was promptly traumatized when I played Paris Hair for the first time. That’s one track I do not wish to see remade in HD by fans.
@@thereviewden I don’t know if I really wanna mess with my PSP like that, but I have tried looking into how to get the DLC on PPSSPP since the game runs smoother and is upscaled on my PC
The only thing move convoluted than Pure's DLC is trying to wrap your head around the full linage of the Omega collection on PS4/5. If you ever feel up for it, I would love you analysis of the Omega collection, because I've tried my best to fully grok what is in there and what versions of engine(s) they're using but I was a little shaky still. Watching this video just threw a new monkey wrench in the works because now I wonder what of all these made their way through all the iterations to the latest version. Cheers!
6:06 "Ultima VII feels too short" said nobody ever. (hashtag theblackgate) Well made and informative videos that really make you eager to play the titles yourself. A shame that the entry level is somewhat steep, so all I see is passing opponents and... the walls. :/
2:03 If anyone is playing on an emulator can they tell me what graphical settings I need to use so that the split in Ubermall isn't a completely blind turn? I just get a huge glare that whites out this section of the track just before the turn.
How would one acquire this DLC? I have a still functional real PSP (unmodded) with a Wipeout Pure UMD, which I'm pretty sure is the EU edition. Ideally, I'd like to get it on my PSP without modding or emulation...
ah, that makes sense! I had a custom ISO with all of the DLC, but it was completely insufferable to play through due to the A.I. being broken. at the time, I just wrote it off as the game itself being bad, so I just uninstalled it and wrote it off as my least favourite in the franchise. thanks to this video, I installed a clean ISO, added the DLC manually, and I've now completed around three quarters of the game. Fusion is still my fave tho. your reviews are great btw.
@@thereviewdenYou sure about that? I know there's a separate "Elite Difficulty" patch that may or may not have been applied. I don't know what you meant at 11:26 by "racing at a different level than you do." (Easier? Harder?) I'm too dumb to apply the patches to my own UMDs (and I do have them from all three regions!), so I, uh, kinda just downloaded the pre-patched ISOs for WipEout Pure Special Edition 4.0 and WipEout Pulse - FX350 Edition 4.0. I'm at least handling Vector class okay in Pure Special, but I'm getting absolutely wrecked in Pulse, which I know has to have its Elite Difficulty patch applied because it _says_ Elite difficulty in the campaign grids. Hard difficulty was still called "Hard" in Pulse, but the Elite difficulty patch completely replaces it.
I recently found an unofficial "Wipeout Pure Special Edition" online that puts all 3 regions content into one game. Awesome video!

I heard about that!

Awesome! Enjoy it, my friend!
Another absolutely superb video! - And the Jamie Foxx/Jessica Biel inverted headshot-narration was a lovely touch by the way.
And you noticed! Thank you!

Thanks Lucian! Or should I say, 'Fantastic!' 😆
The ship in Zone Mode is actually replaced in the Stealth demo (I think it’s supposed to be the UAV). Check it out when you get the chance.

It's been too long since I fired up my (modded) PSP and played some Pure!
The true way to play! Awesome😄
this game still looks beautiful to this day
So many DLC packs! I'll have to try these out one day
On my PSP I never had the opportunity to try these DLC packs.. I wonder if I ever will somehow
If you want to, softmodding the PSP is super easy, its a good way to preserve all these gems.

I believe the PSX in Japan was the first Sony "console" to feature the XMB. It was a PS2 with a HDD that I think could also function as a DVR?

What's the song playing at 3:20? Great video by the way! I'm happy people still talk about WipEout!! :P

Is Puma much of a thing in the US?
Hi Larry, it's not the be-all, end-all that Nike or Adidas are, but it's around. Reebok and Puma were bigger in the 80s-90s here.
@@thereviewden Aah, yeah, same here. I don't think I've seen any new Puma wear in years.
Pure got DLC?

That is great to hear! It's a super game, but the "repack/special edition" REALLY messes up the AI. And thanks!

Tracks are too themed, way too bright and too colorful. Back in the day the entire games looked something out of Blade Runner.
