It\'s cool !

The screenshots are of the new version of PSO which will be on the GameCube, this game unlike the PSO versions on the DreamCast will contain both PSO version 1 and PSO version 2 all in one game.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Um... OOOookkkaayy. PSO v.2 for the DC included PSOv.1. I think is has something to do with the fact that PSO v.2 IS v.1 except with a few extra textures, online modes, and more weapons/armor. It was pretty dissapointing to see that other than a handful of quick gameplay tweaks, v.2 is the EXACT SAME game as v.1 up until the Ultimate mode. That\'s where the new Textures and Weapons come in. WhooHoo. :rolleyes:

Don\'t get me wrong, it\'s still a great game.. and the NGC & Xbox versions are really going to benefit from the new characters/stages. This spin-doctoring it up to make it sound like two different games is complete BS. v.2 wasn\'t a sequel.. hell it was barely a add-on disk.

But Bizio.. I thought you only played NEW innovative games?
lol.. Thats what you keep nagging on about on PS2.

:rolleyes:

Want beautiful innovative game.. Get ICO, made by [SIZE=10]SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT JAPAN[/SIZE]

w00t.. can sony make a original game??? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I\'m not likely going to purchase or even rent this game.. but it looks great.

SonyFan: GCN\'s Chapter 1 = PSO v1.0 + v2.0; Chapter 2 = entirely new. Same for Xbox.

I never said this game is new and innovative:)

...I\'ll probably get Ico under yer recommendation...and God help you if I won\'t enjoy it!

So what you get is PSO v.3... the same goddamn exact game but with a few extras tossed in. If you haven\'t played it yet, then yeah this is will be a solid title.. but if you\'ve already played either PSO on the Dreamcast then don\'t waste your money. It\'s the same damned thing.. only this time you won\'t be spending a mere 50 bucks on a few minor updates.. you\'ll be spending 100+ dollars on all new peripherals to take it online. Anyone who\'s played PSO before knows that it\'s pretty much junk offline.. and the only real longevity and serious fun you\'ll get is by taking it online.

I\'m sorry, but this pi$$es me off that Sega thinks they can turn into Capcom by re-releasing the same software (at full price) over and over again with the only incentive to buy being a few new ideas and textures tossed in. The game should be complete the first time they ship it.. end of story... start working on a sequel. Maybe if they had added in all the extras you\'d find in the NGC version to DC\'s v.1 they\'d have enough extras to warrant an expansion disk.. but they didn\'t.

Take it from someone who loves this game to death.. and has been playing it for damned near a year now. Don\'t fall for their spindoctoring BS, and don\'t get suckered into buying expansion disk after expansion disk. I can\'t believe more people aren\'t pi$$ed off about this simply because this is a total 180 turn from what Sega has always stood for.

Maybe Sega did die with the Dreamcast....?

SonyFan: Hehe, I guess.

Chapter 2 includes 3 entirely new areas (to add to v2\'s 4, making 7 total) plus I think there might be an 8th area.

So the GCN/Xbox adaptions are almost twice the game that PSO v2 is.

Good news Blade !:)

Well, I guess Blade, if you insist on trying to put a positive spin on everything no matter how dissapointing or devestating the news it\'s your choice. I say you should take the blinders off a bit. F*ck man, I love Sega and PSO is one of my favorite games of all time... but even I can find plenty to b*tch about with this move.. and I\'m surprised gamers everywhere aren\'t b*tching as well.

They should just make a whole new Phantasy Star Online title, and stop with the updates. Christ, if we wanted updates like this we couldda jus gone for the PC version and patch - patch - patched everytime a new mod comes out.

I guess maybe if Sega hadn\'t released v.2 for the DC then I wouldn\'t feel this way.. because a few extras are nice in a port. My main complaint is how people (like you and that site in particular) are trying to pass it off like v.2 - v.1 and the NGC/Xbox verions are all seperate games when they most definately ARE NOT.

Oh, and by the way. That one with the stone castle-ruins achetecture is not a new level. It\'s just a rearangement of a Battle Mode level with a few extras tossed in. From the looks of the screenshots, the monsters (god I hope they\'re jus placeholders) are just recycled from other areas. Monet(?) - Forest level, Evil Shark - Caves level, Rappys - Forest level, Dark Belra - Ruins, ect.. ect... ect... I almost would have just mistaked it for the Battle mode except that there\'s no timer, battle score, and the players seem to be working together rather than fighting.
