Looks like PSO with a new graphics engine.

Blimblim · Mar 23, 2005

Because flash is annoying :

Looks very nice, let's hope for a european release...

SolidSnakex · Mar 23, 2005

Looks very good. Sonic Team seems to have taken the time to learn the PS2 this time around.

Docpan · Mar 23, 2005

Finally a new PSO.

FINALLY!!

Kseutron · Mar 23, 2005

wow looks pretty good

is it ps2 exclusive ?

OG_Original Gamer · Mar 23, 2005

Looks good, textures remind me of DC, and thats a good thing.

PS2 and PC.

MrAngryFace · Mar 23, 2005

Fuck, not again. I cant afford to lose anymore time to another PSO

Izzy · Mar 23, 2005

Wow - EGM weren't kidding. It does look very good, indeed. Better than any PSO game in the past; which is quite an accomplishment considering SEGA's 'mastery' of the PS2 hardware.

Looks good visually. Still, didn't like PSO sooo...

Well it could be PC shots ;D

bjork · Mar 23, 2005

Hot damn.

My wang's frothing demand for this increases.

u_neek · Mar 23, 2005

Any details on the game? Looks like there's a story mode with cinema-like cutscenes...

soundwave05 · Mar 23, 2005

That looks great actually, but is this another monthly/fee type of game?

Gonna get a keyboard this time?

Those were the days back on DC, fun shit.

With serverside saving and the previous efforts like I/II/III and Blue Burst, you can bet theres fees involved

MightyHedgehog · Mar 23, 2005

Nice! But why not XBL?! :cries

Andy787 · Mar 23, 2005

Hotness. I will purchase and enjoy this good sex.

Akira · Mar 23, 2005

Circular shadows!

Looks good though. Let's hope Sega doesn't screw this one up.

Izzy · Mar 23, 2005

For a game on a 5+ year old hardware it looks fantastic - easily better than the past PS0s. But what I really want to know more about is the gameplay. Also, is there a significant portion of the game dedicated to the offline mode? Inquiring minds want to know!

Alex · Mar 23, 2005

I'm surprised they upgraded the visuals like so, considering they left their new Sonic abomination back to rot on a DCish looking engine.

Shadow's still using renderware I imagine.

you have no choice! you must return...

wow, ingame screens. interesting.

im excited.

MightyHedgehog · Mar 23, 2005

With my steadily growing apathy for most things Sega this gen, I'm afraid of actually really looking forward to this only to be disappointed. Please, please be good! Sonic Team went from what I saw as one the top developers of the generation, starting with their releases on the DC of Chu-Chu Rocket and PSO, to a new synonym for flaccid...as in a limp dick hanging in front of a very hot nearly-naked chick...afraid to go errect only to suffer a shocking revelation of hermaphroditic reality to come. I'm tired of getting it up the ass from them.

xexex · Mar 23, 2005

Phantasy Star 5, WHERE ARE YOU ????????????????

<hear the lonely unanswered echo transend time and space>

Nightbreeze · Mar 23, 2005

FUCK YES! NEED THIS GAME NOW!

RiZ III · Mar 23, 2005

So this is an online game like PSO?

AniHawk · Mar 23, 2005

That looks fuckin' sweet. I'll see if I can find some ways to dodge fees for this one... I loved PSO.

The Faceless Master · Mar 23, 2005

bigger

Suikoguy · Mar 23, 2005

if thats PS2.. then my comments eariler were certainly.. wrong

Mama Smurf · Mar 23, 2005

Mmmm, looks nice. Hope they haven't bumped the resolution for the shots, seems very sharp.

Maybe they are PC shots.

Borys · Mar 23, 2005

They look very nice, in fact I haven't seen such high resolution textures on my PS2 EVER, so I'm thinking they are from the PC version.

Izzy · Mar 23, 2005

Nope, these are PS2 rez shots - ~600x400.

aerofx · Mar 23, 2005

I'm satisfied with those graphics! Actually more than pleased! Good times ahead my friends, good times!

Izzy · Mar 23, 2005

I think people mistaking it for the PC rev speaks volumes about the graphics. Like EGM said (referring to the console rev), 'it one of the best looking games, ever.' I can't wait to get my hands on the latest issue of EGM. Hopefully it'll happen before my mates at the OA post the scans, anyway. :lol

AniHawk · Mar 23, 2005

Gorgeous. Really.

Rorschach · Mar 23, 2005

Looks awesome. No mags?

Blimblim · Mar 23, 2005

They are 600x460. Absolutely not 640x448...
If you believe these are PS2 shots, I really can' do anything for you. At best these are high res renders using the PS2 models and textures, but I doubt even that.
Considering the game is developed on both platforms, there is no reasons why they would not use shots from the PC version. But whatever.

And that's why I wrote (let me bold it for you):

~ means approximately, FYI.

Since when is 600*460 standard PC res, anyway? Stick to viral marketing, please.

Since when is 600x460 PS2 resolution ? If it was at least 448 in height it would be very acceptable, but this is MORE than the PS2 resolution's height. So, shut up, or explain to us why we should we believe these are true PS2 shots. I'm waiting.
Of so 640x480, which is also ~600x400 is also the PS2 resolution. Glad to know that all the shots I've seen from Gamecube and Xbox games were actually PS2 shots.

Hey, Blimblim may be Xbox biased but I think he is truly interested in this game. No need to attack him this time

He'll eat crow when the right time comes. Doubter of PS2 power!

:lol Considering how many pro-Sony threads you've made since you got here, I really thought that *you* were a viral marketer, not Blim. Blim just seems to love giving us info. & shots.

I never pretended to be unbiased. And yes I'm very interested in this game. I'd be very happy if the PS2 looked exactly like this (considering how good Tekken 5 looks I'd go as far as to think this is possible, but this is Sonic Team here, not exactly a proven PS2 dev), but I'd like to know how anyone can argue that an image with a 460 height can be anything but a PS2 render, or a PC image resized strangely.

I don't want anyone to eat crow, though. EGM should arrive soon enough.

MightyHedgehog · Mar 23, 2005

The thing is, it looks really good...something ST is always good about, regardless of hardware. The big question is whether it's gonna be a good game or not.

Enigma · Mar 23, 2005

I often question BlimBlim's validity, but I'm with him on this. Seems like the PC could scale to that resolution a lot easier than the PS2. And for shots of that LOW of resolution, there's absolutely zero jaggies. I'd be skeptical of those screenshots if people were claiming they were for any current gen console.

Now if those are actual in-game renders of the PS2, it's a hell of a job of aliasing.

Agreed - here's a fine example.

As long as its it an ARPG version of PS (which it seems to be) I see no reason to think it won't be.
