[BioFan]

I joined this forum just for one thing, to find more info about XBox's PSO...I need movies and screens...but I have yet to see even one...I need a movie or something...all I see is gamecube gamecube...where is the Xbox version??I mean movies and screen....
Anyone found any movies/screens to the xbox ver??please link here...I have been searching since E3 day 1...but nothing till now...
Does anyone take any picture/movies at E3??do they care about this game??I wonder...not anywhere I have seen movies/pics...not at GS/IGN/team XBox/any gaming website...kinda pathetic...ARGH...sorry I am just frustrated...

anyone kind enough to find one for me??sorry my first post but a bad one...

Here's 3 screens. It looks just like the GameCube edition except for the little voice chat thing in the bottom.

Thanks a lot....any movies??

This probably has been talked here, but is the Xbox the GCN ver or the DC ver??Probably no one knows eh??at least not until sonic team release more info on this...

I wonder why no one has any movie on this game...

[Rubesahl]

There's not too much information on the Xbox version. But in the Xbox press release they gave kinda like a 5 second preview of it and it wasn't actual gameplay, more like scenes of some monsters which looked cool but it was just like 5 seconds or less so I can't really make them out lol Maybe it was from DC version http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif But we'll have to wait and see, I can't wait for more news to be released >__<

[BioFan]

yes, there isn't much info on the xbox version around....and yes only 5 seconds is shown in the xbox montage video...and not gameplay footage and probably from the DC version...it's the opening sequence, if I am not wrong...but the game was playable at E3...forest level, ultimate mode, as shown in the pics above...but no one took a video of it...and not much screenshots but those three, and probably another 1 or 2 on the net...I want to see at least the video, from the screenshot it looks better than GCN/DC version...I think...but not that much better...I really want to see it in motion...I hope soon Sega will release more info, screenshots and movies...can't wait...
I want sonic team to take their time on this one and make it as good as possible..http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Here's what we know thus far...

-The X-Box version will be a port of GCN's "PSO episode I and II", as seen at phantasy-star.net and xbox.ign.com .

-The X-Box version will be on X-Box live, include only voice chat, be included in the X-Box Live fee of $50/year, and be on a closed server.

-It shall be released this fall with the launch of X-Box Live, and Yuji Naka will begin work on PSO2 at that time.

I really wish we could get some movies of the game in action...but those screen shots *do* look nice. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

they wouldnt do that. the pc version of pso can save a lot of characters on the hard drive. and xbox has a hard drive sooooo.....

[BioFan]

I hope it's true that the Xbox is getting the GCN version...but it doesn't make sense if Sonic Team only porting the DC ver...unless of course the GCN ver. is GCN exclusive...But I hope it is the GCN version...there are some post in IGN forum regarding Xbox's PSO, but I am not an insider, and thus I can't read...It says something about downloading new quests from Xbox live and I believe they were talking that the Xbox ver is the GCN ver...but it makes me wonder, if the Xbox ver really indeed is the GCN ver, why didn't they put the 3 extra characters in their poster in the PSO booth??and why is the name "PSO (tentative name)"??kinda makes me wonder if the Xbox version is really GCN port....And in the xbox montage it says PSOII...I hope that Xbox version is ver.3...with GCN version included and a few more extra characters, stages and weapons...http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gifbut then I doubt that...
Is yuji Naka really making PSO 2 after the Xbox version??I heard it's only rumours...I think it is only rumours, I heard that Yuji Naka won't start to make the sequel any time soon. Cos it will take a long time to make one, and instead he will make add-ons and new quests for the current versions...But I would be glad if there really is PSO 2...can't wait for that...
I am not sure about the character saving system, I hope not 1 per HDD, or it will be worse if we must use a memory card...but probably the HDD is for saving new quests and such...I hope we can download new stages and weapons and characters, costume too...http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif...I heard over at Gamespot, the Xbox version has a little different way to make our character, wonder what they mean...I wish my character can wear shades, or hats or buy new clothes or accessories or something...it would be cool...Xbox has a HDD, and I think Sonic team will make use of that fully(from a Japanese website)...but I am afraid Sonic Team won't have much time to put as much thing as they like cos of time...They need to release it this fall...not much time for xbox development, I hope it's good enough port though...no rush Sonic team...make this game the best PSO...http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[NiGHTS]

I thought Episode II was PSO2, maybe the real sequel will be called "PSO Episode III"

[Greg]

Naka will begin work on PSO2 after xbox live launches. Thus implying it will be for the xbox. He has stated the HDD's are important/needed for the next pso so a PS2 version may come as well.

[BioFan]

wonder why there is no PS2 port...kinda weird don't you think so??and Sony has a more solid online plan than the GCN...and it's the best selling console everywhere...PSO2 definitely will be for Xbox and GCN...and probably PS2 too...and I hope it will be based on this PSO universe, I kinda like them better than the RPG ones...but it's just me...

[Darrin]

I have the pictures for the 2 new characters that will apear in XBox only. There is the HUnewmn and the HUmarl

[Kalbelgarion]

Naka-San has stated that he absolutly DISPISES the PS2's hardware structure and the programming difficulty. He doesn't want to send any Sonic Team games over there. So no Sonic or Phantasy Star games for the PS2.

Maybe he just blames the PS2 for the downfall of the Dreamcast. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Oh Really? -grins mischievously- Now I hhave something to back me up from those PS2 fans lol. But anyway, I think PSO2 will be called just that, and Episode I & II is just another way to say there's new stuff in the same PSO http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I really can't wait till I get both versions. Also I heard you can put your own music as the BGMs for the game. >__< I'd love plating PSO with Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy music! -gets all dreamy- Well, let's hope and see http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Xbox exclusive characters??2 Hunters??May I have the pics pleaseeee....http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
I have PSO:The Book of Hunters...there are two or three characters that isn't on any version...And indeed, when I look at the book, there are 3 hunters that isn't on the GCN/DC list...I hope they would bring that over to the xbox...but I doubt they will make that jar jar look alike character...hope you are not lying about this...2 xbox exclusive hunters...SWEET
in game screenshots please...http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[BioFan]

latest news I heard, I should say rumour...that the xbox version could support up to 8 players at once...not sure if it is true or not, probably not, but if it is...it will be so damn cool...

ill believe it when i see them

[shinokou]

anybody have a link to some articles that quote naka, or any other info on PSO?



Gyah! i hope either nintendo or a third party puts out a HD for GCN!!! Thats gonna be my next console. I dont wanna miss out on pso 2!!! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Oh well, my brother IS getting an xbox soon too, so i wont really miss out, but i'd rather have it on GCN. I dont think nintendo will pass the sequel to PSO up, they'll probalby do somethign about that. I have a feeling PSO is gonna be huge on GCN and Xbox... it'll be a hot property!

booo!
I wanted the damn FOmar!!!!
but a humarl huh
that sounds cool but we have too many hunters then

[Rubesahl]

Yes there would be TOO many hunters, I preffer it to be balanced, most people would be hunters then lol. Anyway, most people are already hunters. Let's see... If they add HUnewm and HUmarl, Hunters would have every race. Rangers would be missing RAnewm and RAnewearl and forces wouldn't have anything else since androids obviously can't use magic. So, it'd be unbalanced, but I wouldn't really care lol Just seeing new characters makes me drool...

[BioFan]

I hope Sonis team will have something new for the xbox version...I am even afraid it may only be a port of ver.2 only

_Sinow Beats do Resta, Shifta and Zalure.
_There were 18 char class originally scheduled. They cut back to 9 due to lack of time. 18=3races*3classes*2gender
_Previous PS games had droids use the equivalent of techs.

So we definitely can't rule out the possibility of FOcast and FOcaseal

that would be the most cost effective option for ST.
Port the PC version and add voice support.

[BioFan]

true but even if they port the GCN version, won't that be cost effective too??I mean probably they just change a little code here and there...not that much different, I bet

looks pretty, hope we get much more info in which ver we will be getting...the wait sucks

[Last_Saiyan]

I hope they introduce the ForCast, the only android that's able to use techs. He was engineered as a Cyborg project that implements Android parts with a Newman's mind. He's able to see traps, have android like stats and immunities, plus he's able to concentrate and project his powers to cast techs of up to lvl 60 from using only lvl 30 discs. Plus he has a cannon to blast me clear off because I'm yapping in the wrong post and being an idiot. Hehehe

er .. GC and Xbox have nothing in common ..
Main processor is different, graphic one too, etc ...
an Xbox is close to a PC.

What worries me is that there is not a single thing in the Xbox screenshots that is GC PSO typical.
(not a weap, not a char class, not a stage .. all is still DC like)

the interface is similar to the GCN version though...those health bars...it's GCN's...

and GCN's version is not really made from ground up...it's still based on the DC version.....it probably is cheapest to port the PC version but I doubt it's that much harder to port the GCN version...a little bit touch up on the graphics and a little encoding and it would be up and running on the xbox, then add voice chat and stuff...probably won't take longer than a month to port the whole content in GCN version...then the little touch up would come after that...I am no programmer, probably I am wrong...but I don't wish ST would take the easy way to port this game...I am sure Microsoft too wouldn't want a port of the DC version...it just doesn't make sense...

and they have been advertising it as if it's a sequel of PSO...doubt it's just the DC port, the name too....PSO(tentative title) probably differnt than any version, DC, PC or even the GCN...but from the interviews with Naka, it seems the xbox version will be inferior to the gcn one, less extras...cos of time constraints, but I am sure ST is doing their best to make their fan happy....ST isn't a lame developer like some company...they are high class...I am sure something good is being made for the xbox version.

[goldman]

oh well

I really wouldn't mind a port of the dc version

I mean I never got a chance to play the dc ver2

but I thought the fomar would look cool.
hell fomars are cool I ran a cool one for my pso RPG not too long back

[BioFan]

goldman, I agree with you, even though I have played ver 2 to death....level 2 characters beyond lv 100, the legit way of course, without hacked weapons...I still wouldn't mind to play it again for my xbox...basically, eps 1 and 2 are the same, same gameplay and all, just different characters, enemies and stages...but variety is a good thing but even if they won't make it for the xbox version...I won't complain much, I will still get it, but I just wish ST won't be such a dick and not port the GCN version...it's not like they are making a whole new game...they got all the characters/stages and everything ready for the gcn ver...they could just port it over...but it's st choice and microsoft choice...ST said if Microsoft give them more time, they will add more extra stuff...so basically depends on microsoft...but it seems microsoft wants it out asap...so probably not as many extras as the GCN version...since they just started the xbox development...

[Greg]

Instead of so much speculation, how about you all wait for some concrete info.

[BioFan]

yes greg, personally I am excited over the gcn ver more than the xbox, but I have an xbox only...not getting gcn for some financial reason...too much games for xbox, and tekki will cost as much as GCN...so I will pass gcn...so I am just trying to dig some info...but since nothing has been announce yet, I guess it makes me really think of things...I should wait for official news..hope soon??
August 8th, GCN version will be release in Japan...then we will hear more of the xbox ver, I hope...ubt for now, hope we can wait for the xbxo version patiently...
anyway here is the latest thing I found on the net....from xengen forum...


Ok, here is the info that I got at E3. And yes, I did get to play the Xbox PSO that they showed on the floor, complete with "online" play and Voice communicator support. Also, while backstage playing Panzer Dragoon I was able to get some info out of a Sega rep.

-The version of PSO for Xbox that was shown on the E3 show floor was a direct port from the DC V.2. It was shown this way so that Sega and MS could have something playable to put on the show floor, and to show off the online and voice capabilities.

-The PSO that is coming to Xbox is completely new, and NOT A PORT. That is exactly what the rep. said. I hope he would consider a port with extras as still a port.

-What I played of PSO was damn fun. I loved the DC versions, so I felt right at home on the Xbox, but what made it so good was the voice communication. It just added even more of a sense of teamwork and interaction, the same stuff that made it great on DC.

Hope that short post clears a few things up.


highly doubt the sega rep knows anything, probably not a sonicteam guy...but then again if we really think about it, microsoft will never want the dc ver only...at least similar to GCN..but then we know nothing until official announcement....I will try not to speculate more....ut it can't be help....lol
