Minor News on PS2 and Xbox360 versons in new EGM.

[xenokai]

This is some comments i got out of Oct EGM....

+ Ps2 PSU players will be on the same servers as PC Questers, but Xbox 360 users can only play with their own kind.....

+ We spied some slowdown while playing online with 6 players on PS2, but the xbox 360 version ran smoothly.

+ All of these screens in this preview hail from the PC version of PSU, which is a dead ringer for the XB360 game.

Thats just some bits of the preview. It looks like the PC version will be my choice.

Dead ringer of the PC version at what settings?

[xenokai]

the 360 version is the pc version turned all the way up. with the highest resolution for hd tvs and the 360. The games graphic for psu arent really up to scale with other 360 games like elder scrolls so it can run it easily i guess. Sad to see the ps2 ver will have slowdown tho.

Oh trust me, there is more than "a little" slowdown in the PS2 version

[xenokai]

Its not really that big of a preview but if ya want i can show ya the preview...

well in my opinion slowdown isn't so much of a problem, it just depends on how much and how its dealt with take shadow of the collossus for example, tons of slowdown but fortunately a lot of it is masked with a very nice blurr effect. If the slow down however is still limited to everyone decking out the PA's then it should be a minimal problem. I will still pick up the PS2 version simply because its MUCH more convenient for me.

ya besides when it slowdowns we can pretend its a cool occasional slowmotion effect.

Slowdown in Phantasy Star Universe affects your actual gameplay ability. There's nothing "cool" about it. Ask the PC users on low-end PCs on how they fall behind in parties because their framerate stutters.
