WipEout Pulse Lore

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

So WipEout has called at least two things now ... or well, sorta, but you get the gist: - The UK leaving EU via Brexit (UK leaves FEISAR, an EU established team, in order to form Icaras) - Outbreak and lack of crowds / the implementation of crowd avatars in some sports and events (The "Basillico" incident)

[@Valhalla05]

Technically 3 -Brexit -Coronavirus -The minimalist movement

[@gbalao8885]

Not everything in WipEout is completely utopian after all.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

@@gbalao8885 Yeah, Spilskinanke (hope I spelled that correctly) and Orcus come to mind.

[@gbalao8885]

@@TornaitSuperBird Another would be Paris Hair from Pure, which predicted Blackpink. And yes, Spilskinanke is spelled correctly. It’s set somewhere within the San Andreas fault in California.

​​​@@Valhalla05Probably four, with global climate change and/or terraforming, as evidenced by Platinum Rush. Edit: Vertica as well.

Welcome to Estoril: *Some say that Estoril is a Portuguese race track, raced by drivers. With the futuristic designs added on the track, probably became the best circuit. Ayrton Senna is the winner of the Portuguese Grand Prix in 1985, but in the future, the Portuguese circuit came here and the sunny weather never stops.*

[@milktar2182]

Sounds like something Murray Walker would say in Studio Liverpool's F1 games on the PS1

[@v88box21]

@@milktar2182 Yeah. He would have been in a WipEout game if he became a commentator during a race.

[@OysterWallace]

The whole series is effortlessly cool

[@yuanedo795]

Had to come back to this vid after what happened in Basilico sort of happening in real life as well, with F1's Bahrain GP decided to run without spectators this year due to the Coronavirus outbreak

[@intothevoid5074]

Except that the real-life incarnation of Basilico, Canada is the Earth.

[@yuanedo795]

Had to comeback here a year later just to say that almost every single racing series in the world had their races turned into Basilico now 👀

[@milktar2182]

@@yuanedo795 the circuits must have lost so much money from not being able to make any money off of spectators

[@jyhan1q94]

And Las Vegas GP brought me back here.

[@ThomasPerl4]

Neat; thanks for putting those into a single video :)

[@citrusjuicebox]

7:54 I'm sorry, "eugenics center"?!

[@gbalao8885]

So after all, racism is still a realistic concept in the WipEout universe, just proves that not everything is utopian after all. Or maybe not racist eugenics, perhaps more of “transhumanism”, given the futuristic timeline, with something similar to that of what happened to Skye Larsen in Watch Dogs Legion, where she wanted for “humans to be uploaded into the cloud” so they could “live forever”, but this causes actual consequences in which this could lead to cruel exploitation and experimentation. Another would be the idea of cybernetic implants similar to Cyberpunk, where the human body is no longer sacred, it’s profane.

[@citrusjuicebox]

​@@gbalao8885 could be true, given all the other hints abouts wars, pandemics, etc.

[@Rain-ej7xe]

​@@gbalao8885 thats quite literally part of ace combat 3 electrosphere's plot too lmao

[@q_taipan]

Could you, please, make a video with all voicelines of ships and etc?

[@cyanjudaslegends6567]

knowing aftermath

[@xDEADLOCKEDx2468]

I am not sure if I am hearing Colonel Radec or Cabal (NOD) in this video.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

Computer-Assisted Biologically-Augmented Life-Form damaged

[@silverhawk7324]

Narrator sounds like the Cybrid from Starseige or Zerg Overmind.

[@marleyrios1573]

No it sounds like Infinite from Sonic Forces

[@marleyrios]

Infinite from Sonic Forces or was it G Major 16

[@klombernzx]

Reminds me of CABAL from Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun.

[@marleyrios1573]

That effect is G Major 7

[@thegatsby.1120]

I love this game, But the thing that's been bugging me of late is the phoney "foreign" accents dotted around the track comments, depending on what weapon(s) you pick up like shield which comes out as" sheeeatt", or the ever popular rockets which translates as"grockets", or turbo which to my ears sounds like "bluto" have a listen, it's comical & maddening at the same time.

[@gbalao8885]

The voice of Piranha's onboard computer says "Turbo" as "terrible".

[@SpiritofFireMrVader]

That's our perception of foreigners' accents speaking our language in a nutshell.
