I noticed the date for PSU has been pushed from 2/16 to 3/30 on its homepage (sorry if this was posted, didn't see it)

Delayed again? Wait, doesn't FFXII come out eariler now?

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Dammit that sucks. I played it at TGS and it seemed like it had some promise

Sega would be good to get that thing out soon. It should sell really well, at the game shows I have visited it usually has quite a crowd.

It's pretty crazy to be releasing an online RPG at this stage in a console's lifecycle. I guess they are expecting the PC version to be the main source of revenue?

 

[Idioteque]

When is the the US release? May?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Hopefully it'll have multiple language support like the originals did. I know BB didn't but there was about a 1 year difference between the US and Japanese release of it, PSU has a 2 month difference.

I always thought this game focuses on the single player experience? I must have been dreaming.

It does have a dedicated single player mode this time. But there's also an online mode.

Unless you're Sega! In which the antilogic makes perfect sense.

I fear for how this'll do next to Monster Hunter 2. Too little, too late? Should've been an X360 game for sure.

Well that kind of sucks, it would have been a great game for the slow months.

Quoted for absolute fucking truth.

That way it would be sure to fail.

Wait, you meant Monster Hunter?

...Yeah, I'll stand by my comment.

Yah espeically with MH's main popularity being in Japan. That'd go over well...About as well as a certain racer.

 

[john tv]

I was talking about PSU. I don't mind PS2 now, but not as the main/only console platform. Should've been on X360 as well, and then jump to PS3/etc later.

Starting off just on PS2 makes little sense at this point. The PS2 RPG market is already flooded.

Arse

Ah well, I guess it's only another 6 weeks.

 

[Moor-Angol]

Shifted to week after FF12 release.


Another great move, Sega :lol

"I fear for how this'll do next to Monster Hunter 2. Too little, too late? Should've been an X360 game for sure."

to be quite honest, i'm not sure MH2 will do that well (which i'm worried about). I think they should have just waited until PS3 for the follow up.

I've really tried to get into PSP MH but the whole thing needs to be "sped up" in terms of progression. Hopefully MH2 will address that, but if PS3 is coming in April, and with X360 getting a few extra better titles (?) it might be hard to go back to ps2 (or xbox)

I hope Phantasy Star Universe has a kickass demonic looking Dark Force or Profound Darkness behind all the evil going on in the solor system
