IGN: PSU Update

[OdinTyler]

It's not much, but, I found this on IGN's site in a side column:

Published by: SEGA
Developed by: Sonic Team / Total Entertainment Software
Genre: Persistent Online RPG
Number of Players: 1-16
Release Date:
US: October 2006
Japan: March 30, 2006
Also Available On: PC

Features: Dual Shock, Memory Card, Online, Stereo Surround, Vibration

Media Size: 1 DVD

I've been keeping an eye on the dates there & it hasn't been THIS specific in awhile. I'm not hopeful of the JP date as it's getting close to March 30. However, the Oct date for US backs up recent claims. Guess we gotta wait & see over the next few days.

If JP PSU releases on the 30th, that would be awesome, but I must admit that if that's the case an October US release is a longer wait than I expected (but I guess I shouldn't be surprised )

It was confirmed a few weeks ago that the game would not be shipping on the 30th. We still have at least a couple more months to wait for the JP release.

Awww & I was trying to be moderately hopeful with this information. Hey, I tried. I won't give up!

I just noticed in that the info I posted, IGN has PSU has a 'persistent RPG'. Thats basically saying its an MMO which technically, its not due to no persistent world. It is a massive multiplayer game in that you can have up to 6 ppl in a group & apparently 100+ ppl on a lobby floor. I think PSU's just gonna have to create a whole new sub-genre now.

Why does it say number of players 1-16... Its driving me bonkers.

Another good point. These damn sites need to get with it & pay attention. Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. Maybe they should read OUR site instead of the other way around. LOL
