PSU Site Update - New Movies and Official Release Date

[Ryna]

The official website received a big update today. The JP release date for the PS2/PC versions has been confirmed for August 31st. Also, there seems to be a couple of new movies and updated product/topic listings.

cool, it might mean we will get a US/EU release date soon.

I just got the chance to view the video. It features some new gameplay scenes (enemies and vehicles) and has a nice soundtrack.

Would it be possible for someone to download the video?

uh oh... this probably means that at best we get this around november/december.

Yeah, there's already a thread on it here.

EDIT: The speculation started here.

Woo, it's been a while since one of these. I'm a bit out of the loop, but here's the three movies freshly nabbed from the server. At first glance, they seem to just be re-hashes of the older ones (which have now vanished) - but there is a big big bundle of new things in them, or at least in the third re-tooled 'Network Of' video, along with a chance to feature things revealed in the closed beta.

Movie 3 - "Network Of", version #2! Check out the music at the 3:10 mark, totally wasn't expecting that one! Lots of sneak peeks at new things here:

I'm not sure if there's some new bosses in there, or just some oversized regular enemies - have a look at the giant robot gizmo at around 4:16, or the jumbo monster that looks similar to the Hildebear shortly after. Not to mention what looks like a new SUV Weapon - Jumbo Robo-Fists!

EDIT: Fixed a link.
