This was posted over a psow a few days ago. Taken from some German gaming magazine.

QUOTE

The weapons are divided into three categories: the Hou system (Rods, Canes, etc.), Hit system (Sabers, Swords, etc.) and Shooting system (Handguns, Machineguns, Rifles, etc.)

The right hand can only hold one weapon out of the Hou and Hit systems, and the left holds only one Shooting weapon. Only two weapons can be held at the same time in the fight. Examples for this combination include holding a Rifle in the left hand and a Rod in the right hand. Another example includes a Handgun in the left hand and a Saber in the right.

Magic is executable only with the Hou systems. Apparently, you can't use any techniques unless you have a Hou system weapon equipped.

Several attack samples in the Action pallet can be specified. You can save your favorite combinations of weapons and attacks. With combination attacks, one can press a key for a '3 hit Combo' which hits the enemy three times, while a '6 a hit Combo' leads to a 'Combo finish', which at the end of the attack the enemies get blown off their feet by its power.

The special ability of the 'Beast' race is called a 'nano blow'. This changes the beast into a Beastman. The 'Cast' race has to use the special ability 'Sub Weapon' to change weapons into sub-weapons. Not much is known about this at the moment, however.

Sounds really sweet. As for the the game being team based. I doubt it will be like that. Judging from the trailers its gonna be like good old PSO make a room and slash for till your eyes go numb. Although there seem to be alot of rumours that now rooms will hold more then just 4 people.

Man, that would be awesome. What is it now, like 5 more months and this game is out!!

*Dreams of triple-nipple-laser*

I still dream of multi-firing cock rockets.

Anyway, that update is really cool. I haven't visited PSOW in years, but that was some good info. This game certainly doesn't seem like it's going to go for a very slow paced and rigid team format.

The orginal PSO was always about teamwork and team based tactics, but since it was action, you could always be a cowboy and ride of into the sunset, although get owned by a giant rappy, because you're still level 80 in ultimate.

Because i know that since you all obsess over every single post i make that you definetly already know, my HDD has more recently taken a ride up shit creek. On a side note, i love these new emotes.

HDD is not utilized for PSU. Which leads me to wonder how much the content of the game will be affected by the inability to download patches and such. Although as long as all character information is saved server side, it probably isn't really an issue.

Lou seems to be holding some big ass guns. Looks like she also has some sort of missle launcher on the bottom of that scan. Looks like the mini map returns from PSO. --------------------

Emotes with real people's faces are the shit. -------------------- Steam: MrCrushin PSN : MrCrushin XBL: Mr Crushin I'm not a playa I just crush a lot.

They're transparent in Firefox

Don't use IE

I'll fix them up soon.

edit: Fixed for Internet Explorer.

He's knocking that Booma like thing into the air! That's awesome. FORE! I hadn't noticed before, but had the mini map not been there in previous pics? I can't imagine PSO/PSU life without the mini map. ... uhg. Still hating that little (non) cast chicky thing. I mean, COME ON! --------------------
