Article: New PSU Screenshots!

[Ryna]

The official Japanese Phantasy Star Universe site (http://phantasystaruniverse.jp) was updated with several new screenshots and information about the Famitsu Playstation 2 Closed Beta contest. The screenshots feature enemies such as the Vanda, Cog Nadd, Greena Beat S, and Baisha ver.32. Also, we get to see the Striker and Lunga in action. Based on the screenshots, it seems the vehicles will have a HP bar and be fairly powerful. Be sure to click on the thumbnails to see larger versions of the pictures!

Credit goes to EspioKaos (user.php?op=userinfo&uname=EspioKaos) for discovering today's update and translating the enemy names. LoveJuice (user.php?op=userinfo&uname=Lovejuice) provided the screenshots. You can discuss this update in our Phantasy Star Universe forum (viewforum.php?forum=20).

looking good, but one thing that worrys me is the potential load times for the PS2 version, i mean the game levels are obviously going to be much bigger, and the graphics look great but hows this gonna affect loading, will it be done on the fly? can ps2 handle 6 players + monsters fighting at once.

by the way are those screenshots ps2 version? can i hold out hope PC one will look much better

The game was designed with Playstation 2 and not PC or Xbox360 Sonic Team just ported the PS2 version over to the other two. If they were to design just for graphics update then each console would have seperate longer wait for each version. You might be confusing resolution with graphics.

Is this game only an online game only or is it like pso

where u can choose your race?
