Article: Teaser Site Hints Possible New 360 Exclusive Action Game from Sega

[HyperShot-X-]

I wish it was a new Phantasy Star theme based 3rd person action/adventure game similar to Shinobi/Bayonetta game engine with rpg elements but offline only. Or it could very well be a sequal to Shinobi..

I am sure that it will not be a new Phantasy star. Pure legistics! Like it or not, the 360 is old for a system. Development on the next gen. has been confirmed. If and when a new phantasy star comes out, I bet it will be on the next gen. counsles. as for what is coming out, maybe an expansion. Sort of like Krom's armory for borderlands. nothing great, but more missions i bet.

Personally, if it's Phantasy Star, I'd prefer it on PC + MAC. Why? I can't confirm this, but logic tells my that more people own PCs or MAC than own 360s. This means larger communit for the players, and more profits for SEGA. If they only use one console, PC/MAC seems most logical. That's just my two cents.

Eh, I still find PSO much more enjoyable than PSU.
I've tried online, I've tried off-line.
My love for PSO was just too huge to be beaten. Once PSU hit, I was expecting more, in the end, was extremely disappointed.
Some of PSU's ideas were nice, but PSO was overall better imo.
HOWEVER, I feel PSZ hit it. All but the auto lock on that'd be.
PSZ was smooth, it brought back the timing from PSO, and MAGS!

If it goes the PC/MAC only route the it would go the same as PSU's online mode on the PC went. It is true that most gamers will have a PC, what isn't true is that they use it to playgames. Majority of all the people I have known and talked to wouldn't play games on their PC/MAC for 3 main reasons. 1. Their computer isn't upgraded to be capable of even playing dominos. 2. Their computer isn't conveniently place for them to sit and play for hours, unless they want the worst backacke of their lives. 3. They bought a system to play games. Why not use it? (don't hate me for saying this as I know there will be a lot that would cut my throut at this but...) Games on a consle are of higher quality, with visual and game engines and also for most, the playability.

you try pointing this to be a phantasy star game, i'm points out the flaw to this. first the xbox is not the popular console in japan. second sega prefer to pamper there jp phantasy star fans, thus since xbox is not the uber console in jp, making the next phantasy star a xbox only game would be a kick to the jewels of most of the jp ps fans.
next lets look at the site, on the posted thumbnail there is a Japaneses letter that i do not know what it translates to.
when i click it, it shows the roman numeral for 8 (VIII)
this could mean no.8 in the series, what games has sega made sequels to that is currently at 7?

[HyperShot-X-]

'no.8' means 8 days left for the countdown til the announcement day, and today(5/17 JP) it shows '7'. Also, nothing is definite at this point and anything is possible meaning this could even be a PS spin-off instead of true sequel to PSO/PSU which would make sense for releasing on 360 1s for easier coding and then porting over to others, or they could be just fooling us with hype for another remake of old Sega title, like a Shinobi sequel or whatever...

[goldbrease]

and the 7 looks like its designed ala nights.
could be a new nights game.
also easier coding has nothing to do with it. if they were choosing a console for easier coding it would probably be for the DS.

[Cranberry]

I hope this isn't the new Phantasy Star. I don't have a 360, and after all the "Something is coming, we will meet agan" messages they flashed on the shutdown, I want a new PS game to be one I can actually play. A 360 exclusive PS would be a further slap in the face to the PC and PS2 victims.

[r00tabaga]

Who still plays PS2?!?! C'mon, make a game for either the PS3 or 360. That would be ideal. One server on one system. PSOII please. We'll all find out soon enuff.
