Article: Phantasy Star Online 2 Will Make Western Debut at PAX Prime

[Tomeeboy]

According to a press release from SEGA PR today, Phantasy Star Online 2 will be one of nine playable games showcased by SEGA at this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle. While there isn't any detail in the release about exactly what parts of PSO2 players will have a chance to try out, it is probably safe to assume that this means there is at least a localized demo of the game. The full list of SEGA's PAX line-up is as follows:

[*]Aliens: Colonial Marines™[*]The Cave™[*]Hell Yeah!™- Wrath of the Dead Rabbit[*]Jet Set Radio™ [*]NiGHTS into dreams… ™[*]Phantasy Star Online 2™[*]Sonic Adventure™ 2[*]Unannounced digital title

PAX Prime will run from August 31st through September 2nd and anyone attending can check out these games at booths #242 and #252. We'll be sure to post any more details we can get about the build of the game and its localization progress. In the meantime, though, feel free to hop on over to the PSO2 Forums, where there is still a lot of discussion going on regarding the Japanese release of the game, which launched to more than 700,000 players in July.

I'll be attending PAX, and when I found out that they will be demoing PSO2 my trip became infinitely better. =)

I thought exactly the same when I saw Jet Set Radio and NiGHTS into Dreams

[Mr Fwibbles]

There are only 8 games in the list. Could that mean a second unannounced title?
Edit: The news post missed Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed.

I am little lost here too. Did they just kind of hit a massive amount of jet lag and thought it was like... 10 year ago?

wow pso2 getting credited for 700k players. That definately is not Japan alone. and here we're getting segregated. Racism all over again.

I BELIEVE these announced titles (Sonic Adventure 2, NiGHTS into dreams, Jet Set Radio) are for digital release for Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Which is AWESOME, because I never got a chance to play two of these games when they came out for Dreamcast. So, needless to say, I'm excited~.
