Check your emails....SONY is sending out invites as we speak.

 

[Ryu]

Just recieved an invite. What's this game about? I'm too lazy to go research it.

 

[Wario64]

Just got the email. Have no idea what the hell this is (it's made by Konami), but since there's no GT4 online, I mind as well sign up for it.

Gamespot preview/hands-on

I got in

 

[krypt0nian]

Yeah I was holding out for GT4 but 8 player Konami mecha goodness wins!

Should be by Genki, shouldn't it? (Since they made the first one.)

It's head to head mech battle action. Original game had its own style and lots of neat stuff I'm too lazy to recall, but a more than flawed execution. Here's to hoping this one fixes it.

 

[Wario64]

If you read the preview, it's actually 4 players online instead of 8. 4 people play at the same time, but there's 4 other people waiting to join in. When someone dies, another player joins in the game. Kinda weird setup

 

[krypt0nian]

That actually sounds cool, as the spectators become the combatants and vice versa.

Great for grudge matches.

 

[Ghost]

Is this the sequel to the xbox game that Phantagram published?

 

[garrickk]

Sounds like mech tag team. I just got my email and replied.

 

[Sinatar]

The first one sucked pretty bad, wouldn't get my hopes up on this one.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Really looking forward to this. I loved the first one to bits, and taking it online is a natural step forward (since it was basically a deathmatch setup with other characters as bots). I just wish I'd set up my playstation.com beta preferences before today. :/

I still don't understand what it is people didn't like about Phantom Crash. The deathmatch-only play? The lack of arenas?

This was asking for a photoshop!

I got in.

 

[Mejilan]

I got the email, but didn't bother to click the link! ;p

 

[jooey]

why do I never get into betas for games I'm at least remotely interested in? this is just like when I emailed that nice african guy my bank account number and he never sent me the manila envelope filled with gold coins.

 

[Wario64]

I got the confirmation beta email today. Beta kit drop date TBA

Also received some email to fill out some survey under the G.A.P.


S.L.A.I. Phantom Crash Public Beta
Konami
Beta Start 9/30/04 - Beta End 10/28/04

It's actually by Phantagram, not Genki, I think. Genki just published the first one in Japan or something like that.

I played it a few weeks ago at a Konami deal, liked it a fair bit. The online mode is set up kinda like Rocket Arena, where the spectators rotate in as people in the game get fragged, so you can get more people involved in a single game without crowding the map.

DFS.

Genki developed it, and since Konami has a stake in them now, I'm sure that's why they're publishing. Phantagram published the first one here, but I think it was distributed by Encore or something.

Ah, okay, I haddit backwards. I forgot that Phantagram was doing US localizations for all of, like, 30 seconds back in the day.

Yeah I am in

 

[Alex]

How much improved is this over the original? Neat concept that turned into easily one of the worst games I've ever played, such a mess.

 

[Wario64]

My beta just arrived like 2 minutes ago

 

[DMczaf]

Im in

 

[aparisi2274]

Yeah I got mine today as well, but didnt boot it up yet.
