This week's update.. (New character screenshots)

[Lovejuice]

It would appear that this weeks Official Site update comprises of a few newish screenshots of some existing cast members (Ethan, Karen, Lou, Leo, Hyuga, and Tonnio). Through the magic of internet gadgets, these images can be taken right out of that pesky SWF!

Ethan - Er, did his eyes get even more blue?:

Leo - If he keeps his head at a 3/4 angle, everything will be fine, I'm sure:

Hyuga - Who is his mystery holding-hands lady?:

I don't think there's anything else majorly new there, unless the Japanese character bios were modified, but I honestly wouldn't have a clue, as well, that scary symbol language only makes me flee in terror!

Hum, after scouring the site futher, there are two wallpapers listed in the 'Downloads' section as 'NEW' (but the main 'Download' link is lacking any 'NEW' banners). I'm not sure these are new with this 21/10 update, however, but, meh, here they be, I don't think I've seen them anywhere else on the boards as of yet:

Colony - Hello Deep Space Nine:

1024x768 http://phantasystaruniverse.com/wallpaper/download/colony_1024_768.zip
1280x1024 http://phantasystaruniverse.com/wallpaper/download/colony_1280_1024.zip

Ethan & Lumia - Bloomin' hell, I just realised how short that poor girl's skirt is:

Rawr... another almost worthless update... Oh well, can't expect good things every Friday...

(I don't think those wallpapers are new either =p)

TY for the pic links. I thought there were updates every Fri & I wasnt on last nite. To see them up early is pretty cool. Guys, I gotta warn you about Hyuga tho. For those that didnt play:

Hyuga...
...sucks.

Seriously, I played PSU 3 or 4 times & he was ALWAYS the first one to die! LOL Do your best to keep him alive. I know Ill be working on that. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Cool pics, I guess. Thx for the update LoveJuice! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Tek missed an update? OWH NOES

But atleast I got some new games while I was away on friday. And these new weapons update are great. I see all the weapons have a regular version. Which means we may get a double saber really early in the game!

Off topic but that would probably make it's individual hits weaker but it's full combo a little more powerful than average which means you'll either have to be accurate or nimble to dodge.

End of off topic.

On topic, the holding hands thing might be something like Brock from Pokemon. (Ok bad example) But I STILL don't want to see stuff like that in PSU.

I wouldn't mind a Brock/Miroku like character in PSU, I for one for them very entertaining.

I'm definatley with you on this one. A Brock like character would be too corny for PSU. It'd be an idiot character on a game that doesn't need any humor (especially humor in the form of a skirt chasing moron, not to say there's anything wrong with being a 'skirt chaser' http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif). Hopefully, ST won't be THAT stupid. I don't want to see that kind of character in PSU. Hyuga better just be...

[Parn]

There's already goofy humor in the game. Look at the Vol Brothers. They have Dragonball Z's Ginyu Force written all over them, with the goofy poses and generally corny antics.

[PhruitBaskit]

A good point, and I wouldn't mind them being a bunch of idiots, but they're not main characters. I wouldn't mind them being stupid because you won't be around them through out the game. Hyuga is a main character. That is why I don't want him to be "goofy".

[Parn]

And how do you know that you'll have Hyuga for the entire game?

[PhruitBaskit]

I don't, but based on how he's always around all the main characters I would say that Hyuga is a main character and you'll see him an awful lot in the game. If he is wierd in the game I'll adjust to it in a second. I'm jusr saying that I would prefer him being...I can't think of a word. LOL
