Another huge ps2 game to get.  More good news from sega.:thepimp:

Well, I\'ll be damned. Now it will come down to who gets it first and who has the better looking version, which I am guessing will be the Xbox - simply because development started for the Xbox. I could be wrong though.

Either way, its good news for PS2 owners who had no plans of buying an Xbox but was interested in JSR:Future.

Now if ps2 gets panzer dragoon well..........I\'m not going to be to sure about the box.

Holy Crap!! Strange.

I don\'t know if this is true though, since Magic Box is run by a Japanese guy who mistranslates or misplaces things.

Judging by this, Monkey Ball is also on the way, and that wasn\'t announed either for PS2. If it is true though, I will get the versions that look and play the best, or come out first

Good stuff.  

I was never interested in the game to begin with, but at least some others will enjoy hearing the news.

Hmm,. now if they toss Panzer Dragoon in there, my future plans on getting the xbox will be bleak. Let\'s see what happens...

What\'s stopping VF4 going to xbox?  Actually I\'m not surprised, and wouldn\'t be surprised if VF4 gets an xbox release.  Sega wants to make money, it only makes sense.

Honestly, I never was that interested in the game.  VF4 though...

They aren\'t even showing PD aymorew, if what the sites say are true

Maybe they are converting it to PS2, which would be a serious shock to me, since Hitmaker said they were highly unimpressed with Ps2\'s hardware.

I will believe this news when another big site says it, or straight from the japanese horse\'s mouth.


Eric Jacob

Yeah, but vf 4 is ps2 only for 1 year at least, so it would be old by the time it went to xbox.

eventually all Xbox and Gamecubes games will be ported over to ps2...cause ps2 will have the most units sold...watch and see...

Personally, after looking at the site, I\'m not exactly sure its true. Sega has never mentioned this or Super Monkey Ball being ported to the PS2 and the way they had their original plan, was to divide all the divisions up and give equal amount of games to each system - which also gurantee\'d them more money , because Sega fans would have to be each console. I won\'t truly believe it , until Sega comes out and makes an offical announcement and other bigger sites start reporting this news.

As for the comment about VF4 going to the Xbox, Yu Suzki has said in inteviews if he thinks he can do more with another system, he would port it.

Tiesto - That would onyl be true if Sonic Team, Hitmaker, or Smilebit cared a drop about PS2, which it looks like they don\'t. Sega makes games for systems they are designed for basically.

And who knows, 2nd gen X-Box and GC games probably wont be able to be made without graphical and feature downgrades, that wouldn\'t be right. Sega would never do that unless it was for their own system.


Eric Jacob

because Sega fans would have to be each console.

I don\'t think they\'re thinking that way. If they port all their games to all the systems, they have more chances of being sold. Which @ this point, all SEGA cares about is to make money once again. (I think anyway) -- I don\'t think SEGA is going to be loyal to anyone right now, they\'ve been in the hole too long for that.

If the PS2 does end up having the largest installed base, I\'m sure SEGA would port. Let\'s face it, I doubt GC or X-box will have the same base in Japan as the PS2. So the PS2 will look to be the most profitable for SEGA. Or at least have the chance to be the most profitable. I\'m guessing SEGA will see how well their sales go on the other consoles first, before porting. Oh well, that\'s my .02 gil.

Good news although i was never into these kind of games, its great to see the Ps2 line up bolsterd with even more superb titles.

IMO i preffer the Look of Airblade.

This isn\'t true, it\'s just a misinterpretation.  Since the news of Sega\'s TGS lineup was on IGNPS2, some presumptuous PS2 fans have concluded that these games are for the PS2.  However, IGNPS2 basically just stated that those games will be on display in the Sega booth at TGS.  I think they jumped to the conclusion that people would be smart enough to put each game with its respective console.

This goes to show how all Xbox games "suck" until it seems as if they are coming to the PS2.  Now all of a sudden, JGRF briefly became a killer app until I, DX, crushed the hopes of PS2 fans everywhere.  While the game may eventually see the PS2, it won\'t be on display at TGS this year.  Sorry.
