Ah geez Skorp, you beat me to it. My sources just got the info

Why must it come out on cube first

[Skorpius]

It was like that when I got there.

IT'S REAL, DAMNIT.

[CrazyJ]

I just tracked down the info for this on Sega's PSO page. It's all in Japanese though...

New info on episode 4 has been announced!


You'll be able to transfer your characters from episode 1 and 2 as well as from plus. This episode 4 disc also features episode 1 and 2 so there is no need to switch discs

You can play with episode 1 and 2 people still and can even go to episode 3 lobbies. Episode 4 c-mode will also be added in a few months, the prize will be s-rank armor, like an electro frame with gold sparks.

You will also be able to add special attributes to the armor through Gallon's Shop, you can add stuff like PB create, HP and TP revive, cure/freeze and such as well as a new feature called damage shield which makes it so when an enemy hits you it will take damage.

[Skorpius]

I have great sources. They;re pretty sneaky people that like to play along and also give me great information.

[Skorpius]

Saiffwin knows the score!

People, i have been studying this picture for the past hour or so. I have magnified it and have discovered that this picture is indeed the real deal. You had better believe that when i first saw it, i thought it was a fake, but since taking the course in COMM Tech where your project is to study picture provided by the teacher and decipher whether or not they have been edited by someone, of if indeed they are real. And Mix, about your observation of the black not being straight, that is on alot of Gamecube game cases. Here are some examples of game cases with similar defects -- all taken from IGN.com:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Zelutos/zelda_wind_waker.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Zelutos/sonicheroes_gcnbox_160w.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Zelutos/batenkaitos_gcnusboxboxart_160w.jpg

And look, the Phantasy Star Online EPIII gamecame, with the same effect:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Zelutos/pso3card_gcn_160w.jpg


Real or fake? The verdict is that it's real. And if you don't believe me, well, then i guess when it hits the shelves, i hope they are all sold out before you get there!

[Jack]

Do April Fools' count if they're posted three minutes before midnight?

[Skorpius]

What?? This is real!!


New anti-cheating countermeasures will be in place for the improved Episode 4 servers. These new enhancements will make it extremely difficult for players to log onto the servers with illegal items. A new group of employees has been trained to moderate player activity, and even engage in Teams on an adventure to Ragol, showing off new items and secrets to lucky players.

Also being developed are new Challenge and Battle Mode stages. Unlike previous rewards for Challenge Mode, the new rewards will be Visual Armor alterations with the option to include a special ability once you complete a certain quest. New Battle Mode stages will give seasoned battlers challenging arenas to test their skills in, with the addition of Battle Mode tournaments that may be registered.

[ryuartyi]

If you compare Japanese Blue Burst (Which I have), most of the things listed in the post above doesn't exist, with no news from ST about it coming.

I can't wait until tomorrow until everyone finds out it's an April Fool's joke :3

BB will be getting these updates soon too. But since a lot of the PSO community is on GC and since GC hasn't been getting a lot of love as terms of cheaters they decided to release that stuff on GC first.

Can you PM me a link with a reliable source so I can actually believe you?

[Hrith]

Doing that on April 1st, Skorp http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

If it's real, I'll let you seks my FOmarl http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

http://psobb.jp/ep4news/images/epi4.jpg
Compare to image. Seems awfully convinient to just crop all the symbols under Ash.

Also. No word on Sonic Team page. First screenshot should of this, should still prolly come out in Japanese before English version.

[omishi]

I don't buy it. Its april fool.

[Maridia]

Wow! I can't believe it! that's so lucky. I could never run Ep4 on my PC, because I am teh sux. But I was praying it would be for gamecube! Thank you, Skorp and Saiff, for making my entire week. I don't know why everyone is being so distrusting. I mean, who cares what day of the week it is. EP4 IS COMING TO GAMECUBE! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! XD

You have to consider that it was already April 1st for some people in the world. Viewed in that light, it may have already been the 1st for Skorpius.

Oh yes Skorpius, your GIMP skills are greatly improving. Did you see the GIMP plug-in that was recently released that makes the program look like Photoshop?

[Hrigg]

If this is real... it's so awesome. If this is an April Fool's joke... http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

[PJ]

Wow Skorpius! You made my day! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[PrinceBrightstar]

It aint real. If it was real, the picture would be hot linked from the real source, not in http://img.photobucket.com/

That's right. I challenge. Not posting the real image will result in automatic April Fools status.

anyways nice try on the april fools

[Maridia]

Lighten up, guys. And you want a disappointment, look at the news page. ;.; that actually got me for half a second. That was mean, guys. Just mean. XD

[Luis]

i know its comming out for pc, but, you have to think that pc games are not sold anymore like 10 years ago, consoles are outbeating the sales of pc games, and i belive if pso bb isnt comming out for consoles yet, i bet you it will be sooner or later.

Yeah Zelatus, that's sooooo convincing *sarcasm

Did it ever occur to you that Skorp could have ASKED him to post that? I mean how difficult would it be for someone to come in and claim they're an expert in photo-editing and say "it's real." ??

Who would challenge it? Well, I do. Did it ever occur to you that if they were to take the images of the little icons from an actual scanned Ep.I and II box, and simply laid them over the Ep. IV image, that the final product would look seemingly untampered? The reason for it is that the actual pixel build of the images was never altered.

[EJ]

It also help that it's April 1 which we all know what that means. XD

[Neith]

http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Saw right through this one... if it wasn't for the date, I might have fell for it.

[Wyndham]

BB itself I'd think would be too little to add to constitute another release this far after PSO plus.
seems like I was right.

[Saiffy]

Why are people so set on proving us wrong? It was obviously a joke.

No one has holiday spirit anymore

Problematically, I had already fallen for ToH's thread.

[Saiffy]

This thread at least had thought into it http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif and Skorp managed to persuade people to play along.


I also got Mix to delete an incriminating post ;o

I http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif @ those who were Hell bent on proving the obvious.

[Shadowpawn]

It is with great honor that we stand in the presence of RedSchwar. For he had the insight to discover that this sham of an April Fools topic was indeed an April Fools. Why, with such WIT AND INTELLIGENCE he pointed out the breadcrumb trails of this joke. The lazy crop work, the rampant overabundance of emoticons, the bold hints to play along. It's AMAZING that we, the lowly and dimwitted members of this lowly fan site didn't discover this.

Why, I am HUMBLED by your presences...my liege.

Perhaps this fake thing can convince ST into making it real. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
