PSU Disc 2?

[bakawaltz]

I read somewhere that there will be a PSU Disc 2 for an addition or something like that and I'd like to know if:
1. This requires disc 1?
2. Only and addition to the current offline game.
3. Will come with "Disc 1".
4. If I should wait for it or just buy PSU now.
It also said it would be coming out in the spring..
(And also, PSU offline is free correct?) I'd probably play it offline and pay for online service when I have more time.

woah, well it's probably just a rumor atm, but spring would be like retarded. Not everything is even released in the game yet. You should just get it cause you'd probably end up waiting a whole year for the expansion, if there even will be one.

[Retehi]

You're jumping way ahead of everyone else, because no one here has any info for said "Disc 2", if such a thing is even being planned.

[Jonty]

Where did you hear about this?
As far as i know, there is no expansion planned or existing...

That news story is incorrect.

The poster is a teaser for Episode 2 of Story Mode, which we already have online, NOT any sort of expansion disc.

Actually, I think it's an expansion so that people who are offline-only can play the online story mode.

ya what he said http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif allthough i think u should just pay for online then waste ur money on that

[Sekani]

Sure. You guys keep on dreaming.

[BLACKR0SE]

lolk.

[desolant11]

hmm i remember hearing that there will be an expansion pack for this game. and since that is the way sonic team has always worked this game when dealing with a new idea, i believe it.

[pineapple]

The game is fairly popular in japan, no? I hope that's enough to warrant an expansion.
It was about 1/2 year between v1 and v2; The wait between episodes II, III, and IV were probably longer. I think there's a chance for an expansion.

What are you talking about, I have a friend who works at Sega of Japan and SHE said that it's coming next week, it has all the newman summons and elemental dragons for humans!!!

XD

Nah, it's a newman nanoblast where they turn into giant Musk Cats and cast that spell Eternal Darkness from Final Fantasy 9, and the Ark comes down and kills every monster and every player on every universe.

FOwned!

Along with the relic gun, of course.

oh gawd. i tell ya, someone asks a worth while question finally and because he's new, you got jerks trying to take him down in ways he doesnt even understand most likely. i notice this trend alot in this forum, a practice that should be frowned upon.

to answer this question with my best questimation, no. you will not need disk one to convert to any expansion ...probably.

yes, you should go ahead and get disk one now so that you will have a mature character by the time the expansion does come out...maybe.

*kubara humor lol. now thats funny.

Don't listen to this guy.
Don't hold your breath for an expansion disc. Its only a rumor and nothing has been confirmed.

yeah dont listen to my opinion because i have under 500 posts and don't know what i'm talking about. thanks for proving my point.

IF story missions were to be released for offline play, it'd probably be something similar to what happened in Episodes I&II Plus. Only the missions were added for offline, no new content beyond that.

[Callous]

The official Sega site faq says there is an expansion planned. That may never happen, and with how abysmal PSU is doing in the West, seems very unlikely to happen outside of Japan, but it's certainly grounds enough to say that there might be an expansion.

If you want to play PSU, though, you most definitely should not wait. You could well be waiting forever.

Abysmal? lol

Riiiiiiight

[Jasam]

The original expansion rumour turned out to be the name of the online story mode.
Any further rumours I am not up to date on

[bakawaltz]

actually, psu would not be my first pso game. only problem (more so a dilemma) for me is a credit card.. [the place i found something talking about this was at a forum. it was just a random comment i came about.] it did say it was an offline addition. would u not need it if u had played online or do u still need it if u also want to be offline story?

PS2/PC mainly: From a business standpoint, when you are a company that has made 18 servers available and not even 1 is ever full, then yes, abysmal is the word you're looking for.

But hey, keep fooling yourself if it floats your boat.

XD lol only if it were true, we newmans are pretty much the sh** race all we get are crea weps which i cant use because im a fortetecher =(

[Coxy]

I remember when this forum used to be helpful and not full of damned idiots.

If an expansion does come out (which I'm inclined to believe it will) then it is more than likely going to work in exactly the same way as PSO v1 & v2 do now.

No prob. You can always up your post count real fast by doing some word association. ;]

You don't need to pay to play offline.
How can you even pay them without going online to do so? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Offline mode is free in this PS online game. They made it so there is the offline story mode and an extra mode that mimics some of what the online mode offers.

Debit/Prepaid Credit cards are an option as well.

Such as creating a checking account - with parental consent if you're a youth or whatever, then asking for a debit checking ATM card with a major credit card company's logo and support on it.

With that you can pay for online play with your checking account ATM card that has the Mastercard/Visa logo, works the same way, no bills to pay- funds taken out of your account.

Prepaid credit cards have extra surcharges that can pileup. Someone wrote up a FAQ about it in this thread:

http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=120039&forum=20

Waiting longer to go online can be beneficial since more things will be unlocked in due time, even if the community numbers may be smaller. So no rush.
