• Japanese PSO Ep. I and II delayed

    Alielle writes, "I just checked out Sonic Team's official PSO site, which announces that instead of the initial August 8th release date, the Japanese version of PSO will be delayed to September 12th. It seems that they have opted to refine and make improvements to the game in the meantime.

    The url is http://www.sonicteam.com/pso/index2.html. I used the translation software here.
    "



    Oh well. No need to be depressed over this, should anyone be. Improvements are always welcome, no matter the delay, imho.

      Of course it is a shame i and many others will have to wait over 1 month for the release longer than hoped, was only about 30 days left to go, now over 60.
      But if delaying it means they will modify the game, improve grahpics or AI of enemies, fine tune everything it is better to wait rather than have a rushed game needing a ver.2 later...

      Improvements are always welcome as long as they don't delay the US version.

      Haha. IMHO, no doubt US version WILL be delayed because of this, just watch.

      I expected this to happen really. I mean, wasn't the whole Idea of the trial version to collect data from in-game play and sort out possible defects or server problems so they CAN make improvements?

      This is almost exactly like the coming of version 2. That took a realy long time to come out, and because of what, a long dispute over how much the hunter's license would cost. And nothing changed the price remained the same as originally planned, alot more than the japanese had to pay. Was that worth delaying the game for 2 months? I got an answer to that, "NO!!!!!" At least this time they are actually going to improve things. I just hope that they don't waist time on stupid things that no one gives a flying crap about. And being on the subject of improvements, I hope they have time to correct the lack of numbers to the hp and tp bars in split screen, I mean they have an extra month. Plus has anyone noticed how shity the new boxart looks for the game. Did they fire the old guy or what. If they are going to take more time they better fix that. In the meantime I can't wait for the game to come out. Finally a proper improvement to something that is alread great. Just hope that I find the time to play it, it's going to be alot of sleepless nights.

      Hopefully Sonic Team will use this time to try and lockout (the first wave, at least) of Code Breakers and Xploder-like devices for the GC...

      That is bad. Owell, It is just for the good of the people. Sonic Team is just working out the bugs and such. I hope this will happen once.

      I hope sonic team isn't planning to screw the US version over again by giving the japanese ver all the good stuff and US with decent quests that the japanese have also. Why give the Japanese their cake and let them eat it too. I would not mind waiting a month for the US ver too if it ment we would get all the same options and features as the Japanese ver.

      Europe is always the continent who suffers more, 1rst we have to wait a lot, PSO for GC (if it comes) will only be in 2003, just vers2 for DC, we only had it in our hands in february of this year,.. and for what I ve heard US version has new quest in the ULT offline mode, well, I ve cleared all the quests in ULT, and no good, nothing, zip,.,
      You guys are always lucky, I think this time, the better think to do would be import, but I need a connection.. right?
