What is the "Plus"?

"In this version of Sonic Team's award-winning PSO series, you get two games in one. Episode I contains all the hit content from the original PSO and PSO ver.2, while, Episode II brings a brand new full-length adventure. With real-time combat and enemies that are more powerful than ever before, you'll venture deep into lush worlds filled with mystery and intrigue."

For offline gameplay, Episode I & II Plus brings intense split-screen battles for up to four players on the same console. Additionally, you play quests and mini-games from PSO I & II that were previously only available online. Plus also includes three Episode II quests: Seat of the Heart, The East Tower, and The West Tower; five multiplayer Challenge Mode stages; and two downloadable mini-games: NiGHTS - Score Attack and Puyo Pop."

"Plus" we removed the backdoor!

 

[Hotsuma]

Sonic Team should have ported PSO Blue Burst to Xbox and GC.

 

[bjork]

If they're going to do that for GC people, Xbox PSO players should be able to download all the quests imo.

There are no PSO players on Xbox .

 

[cvxfreak]

I thought Blue Burst = Plus?

 

[SolidSnakex]

No, Blue Burst has a new level and new enemies, Plus is just the downloadable content added to the offline game for those that couldn't get it.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Not to mention a $20+ discount for those whose only option of obtaining the GC version is paying vast sums of money on Ebay.

 

[Mejilan]

Well shit. Well, buy it now or buy it later. Whatever.

 

[dog$]

Anyone happen to know if old GC PSO1&2 saves work on this, yet?

 

[BenT]

There are no PSO players on Xbox .

What is that?

 

[The Faceless Master]

"Plus" we removed the backdoor!

yeah, that too

 

[Baron Aloha]

Anyone happen to know if old GC PSO1&2 saves work on this, yet?

I am interested in knowing this too. I've spent some time building up a Ramar (Lvl 52 so far) and I'd hate to lose him.

 

[The Faceless Master]

well, if i recall correctly, with the Japanese "Plus", the saves work, but once you use them in "Plus" and save, they no longer work with the old version...

 

[Scott]

Glad there was a delay, not happy that it wasn't long enough. :\

I just hope it's not sold out like the current one by the time I can afford it (October-ish), because paying 60$+ on ebay for a used copy (of the original) with a defunct serial code isn't my idea of a good deal.

 

[BuddyC]

well, if i recall correctly, with the Japanese "Plus", the saves work, but once you use them in "Plus" and save, they no longer work with the old version...

Correct.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Are there any improved security measures to prevent hacking in the new version? That's the main thing that'd make me buy it, seeing as how i haven't played in months and was thinking of finally getting a keyboard adapter to play it.

 

[explodet]

I've still got my 100 lvl FO kicking around - once this game is out I should get my license back and start playing again.
