Something interesting I just came across whilst procrastinating at work:

http://phantasystaruniverse.com/

The domain name is registered to Sonic Team, so it looks like it's authentic. Could a MMORPG or PS 5 be in the works?

Just a cg movie shown on floor so far o_O; This was probably the big development they were talking about. And sorry I haven't been on CARD, had some techical issues last week and now E3 eats me up again. Don't give up hope Lish!

Posted by: Alisha May 12 2004, 03:53 PM

damn kyori have you watched the trailer yet that shyt owned me

i know about your modem and dam lol theres 3 topics about this beigebiggrin.gif

Posted by: kyori May 12 2004, 04:04 PM

Yeah, I watched it. It's pretty but it's only a CG run so far.. I want ingame snaps and details!

Posted by: Riel May 12 2004, 04:12 PM

Damn you guys are fast,i just saw this and was coming over to post hehe...i think it's not online though but still could be awesome.

Yup. Cool.

Posted by: FlyRobinFly May 12 2004, 04:25 PM

I'm absolutely speechless... That trailer is *gorgeous*! Given the number of environments and character classes featured, it looks lika a real MMORPG (no more pioneer 2/lobby crap, and not based on 4 year old PSO code) to me.

Pure speculation, but it looks like they’ve introduced HUnewms and made the androids humanoid as opposed to mech-like (see the girl with the horns). This meshes better with the old games IMHO, but I wonder how RAcast fans will react if it’s true…

*drifts off thinking about HUmarl artifact armor*

Posted by: DJ_Donkey May 12 2004, 04:39 PM

So was this the big PSO news that everyone was talking about? I hope this suckers online... But then again, its on all platforms.
Either way, I'm gettin my hands on it ASAP.

CG movie looks pretty. Definately would like to see some gameplay footage. I'm sure we'll get more on this soon enough.

Yea definately not the best of signs, but maybe it'll be the first 3way online console game (if it's in fact, an online title).

Man after watching the video... *goes to play some uber PSO*
After doing some research, I didn't find any concrete evidence that this will be on all platforms. Only to see, "No info on platforms or release date were made available."
I wouldn't be surprised if it IS on ALL platforms.

Don't take the generalized comment personally. Besides, I'm under the "creamed pants" category.

Well, you'll notice I become an ass when a lot of people suddenly "cream" over something that they hardly know about. The video looked neat, a lot of glitter and explosions, just be carefull about getting too hyped up about a game's promo trailer, usually you'll get burned and be disappointed, and dis it later on as much as possible.

I'm an oldschool Phantasy Star fan, back in the 80s during the master system day. I've never been let down from this series, and I'm not one to get excited about anything...except Phantasy Star, Shining Force, and Guardian Heroes.

Phantasy Star is a commonality that all of the AT and longer standing AT associates share here. Many fun hours were had and great bonds were formed. It's not just about the game, but the series and it's relationship to AT.

Assuming this game is online, its value comes more from it being a common unifier for a lot of us. If not, the pure nostalgia of the PS series really hits home with a lot of it's older fans and the ATers who have grown to love the series.

So, it really runs deeper then a fancy trailer, but I guess it might not seem that way to some. It's an AT/PS fan thing I guess...

Dammit, I could never watch a video from Gamespot unless I streamed it...

Always have troubles with their DLX auto-download utility. From those screencaps though, it looks nice.

Posted by: Zio May 13 2004, 07:48 AM

Damn this topic got a bunch of replies fast beigebiggrin.gif I can't see the video yet but I can go to another computer later to look at it. I hope its sweet.

Stupid school...blocks nearly everything game related; can't watch the trailers here. I'm surprised it doesn't block this site...

But anyways...
OMFG...This has some major potential. Hope more info gets released soon.

a proper rpg experience, just as long as the experience doesn't lose focus by sheer size; there is such a thing as a game being "too" big...but then, this is S-team ~ i must have faith.. ^^

Posted by: unitself May 13 2004, 11:47 AM

ok. That was bad ass.
But... what is it? I didn't see any game play footage. It looked more like a movie to me.

Posted by: AC9breaker May 13 2004, 02:00 PM

Yea it's just some pretty cool intro movie or something. I think too many people are assuming this to be another MMORPG. When really its seems like its going to be just a good ol regular RPG. I am making this hypothesis based on information given to me from a reliable source and from watching the intro movie. The intro movie seems to be forming a sort of story around the characters shown. But this is just my opinion so...

Posted by: kyori May 13 2004, 03:28 PM

To note, the trailer did mention it being PSO2 and PSV o_O;

Posted by: kyori May 13 2004, 09:42 PM

Check out the site again..

http://phantasystaruniverse.com/

Great Flash.. and it questions.. PSO2? But is this really multiplatform..? It never ends, PSO won't die :3 I assure you bandwagoners on XI that much :3

Posted by: DJ_Donkey May 14 2004, 07:38 AM

That's crazy. Even Sonic Team doesn't know if its PSO2 or its PSV lol.

Posted by: psobsesser May 14 2004, 08:36 AM

Hey, you can call it whatever you want; as long as it's good, I don't care. beigelaugh.gif

Posted by: unitself May 14 2004, 09:58 AM

At least it said the word game. That's 1/2 the answer right there for me. beigesmile.gif
Funny how they question whether it's PSO2 or PSOV! btw - what the farm does 'V' stand for anyways?

5 - The single player RPG series stopped at IV on the Genesis/Mega Drive.

Posted by: Ether May 14 2004, 01:05 PM

Current speculation (and how I hope this turns out to be true) is that there will be completely seperate offline and online modes. Thus Online will be PSO 2, and offline PSV

Doesn't matter to me though, they had me sold at "Fonewearl" Hopefully they can get the game out by the end of 2005 beigelaugh.gif

Posted by: Dorian May 14 2004, 03:48 PM

This thought just poped in my head. Since there is no game footage, and Sonic Team is messing with our heads.

This could possibly be a Chronicles type game with Phantasy Star 1, 2, 3 and 4 on one disk, like FF1, 2, and 3 for PS1.

Who knows.

But it's highly likely.

Posted by: Kazicht May 14 2004, 04:01 PM

Considering the flash intro says "Its a whole new world" and "Its a whole new game"... its probably not going to be some stupid collection BS.

Posted by: unitself May 14 2004, 07:09 PM

but, dude... what if Dorian's right?
That would suck!

I've known Dorian for years... he's had thoughts like this before and he's never been wrong.

Actually that was Aladdin, and that Playstation game Dorian speaks of just has 1 and 2. FF3 (the real one that never came here) has yet to see an official US version.

Posted by: Mute May 17 2004, 04:14 PM

From that video, it's apparent to me the game is going to be a kart racer!!

beigebigrazz.gif

<< really can't wait for some gameplay footage

Posted by: Kazicht May 17 2004, 04:24 PM

If you watch the flash video carefully, you can catch some in game footage. Its very fast and blurry tho. Theres one where you see a blue FOmar type standing in town holding a saber in one hand, and what appears to be a handgun in the other. Another part shows the same blue guy doing a two hit multiple slash combo on a bunch of simular looking baddies.

Hmm...


[EDIT]: OMG, Kart racing mini game anyone? Hahaa *wants a hover-board*

Posted by: Kazicht May 17 2004, 04:46 PM

Welcome to an episode of Kazzy Kaz's game detective show! Aka: Kaz's BS that he might not even believe himself. -.-;

Okay lets start with what I have found from clues on PS boards and gaming sites.

IGN:
"The only other concrete details we learned was that this is going to be an action MMORPG." - http://cube.ign.com/articles/514/514715p1.html


My view: Hmm, I've always been iffy with the infomation coming from IGN, or most gaming sites, and mags for that matter. But would a high profile gaming site really use the word "concrete" without somehow, somewhere getting info from someone...that it will be the genre of what they proclaim it'll be? Hmmm. Hard one... but going from that alone.. I'm pretty excited.

Next.. my speculation of gameplay from movies/artwork/etc.

From the movie along I can see these classes will be in the game:

HUmar type- the pretty boy with the saber and hover board. Dresses in a techy J-pop style atire.

HUnwmen type- The big hairy eared dude that transforms into beast mode (Altered Beast anyone?). Reg. form attire is techy yet classic traveling vest. A female version may exsist as well from certain artwork.

HUcast type- The horned chick fights him (pvp?) and he's one of the dudes shown in a pose at the end. Robo Samurai and new armor looks very bug like (think Yoshimitsu).

HU or RAnwearl type - The horned chick? Dresses in body hugging neon suits.


FOnwearl type- the chick that blast stuff with ice. Dresses in neo-traditional Japanese clothing.

FOmar type- the dude in the blue robe and saber at the begining of the 3 omni-dragon scene. Style hasn't changed much it seems, but top part of body is less boxu and more body hugging. Longer robe as well.


RAcaseal type- The chick with that wierd armor, looks like gaint machanical arms? Also very bug like in armor, but slimmer and more feminine then HUcast.

Overall the visual style seems to take on a more Neo-Asian look. From archetiecture to wepeon design and clothing style. No more moon boots, big balloon skirts, tight fitting bulky body armor, etc.

Thats all I can tell from the media available. I'll add more of my speculations when I can dig more up.
Let me remind you that none of this is solid fact.. just my thoughts from doing some detective work.

No, it's an arcade tag team fighter.

this remind sme of an old egm rumor saying st was working on a new pso game with a full offline game as well as an online one

Posted by: Ether May 17 2004, 06:59 PM

I'm thinking HUmarl The horns are possibly just for show, and her hair is covering any natural ears. A RA wouldnt be uses a dagger either, plus you can sort of see her toss a slicer at the dragon in the video


user posted image
Now this thing, I have no clue on. I want to say RAnewearl, but she's not shown with any weapons (that I've noticed) However, when she does her pose in the video in the video, you can very briefly see her outfit better... and it looks like an old school HUmar getup with the giant shorts and all. If this is the new HUnewearl, more than a few people will be pissed off

Possibly they are going to divide up newman into two races, the more classic human looking ones, and the beastmen

(FLASH MOVIE)

Could this be the actual gameplay footage?

cue X-Files theme.

Posted by: Kazicht May 18 2004, 05:48 AM

Thats what I'm talking about! shades.gif

Now that I see it more carefully... looks like a 360 round slash. Wow, look at those dudes fly.
Maybe their giving us FFXI Weapeon Skill type attacks? Build up TP bar > Unleash Hell. O.O

Posted by: unitself May 18 2004, 08:37 AM

That does look like game footage, but I question what machine it's running on. Can a GC look that good? yeah.. I say 'good' even though it's blurry as hell. beigesmile.gif
We have no release date or anything, do we? Like even a 'Fall 2006' or something?

Posted by: psobsesser May 18 2004, 08:46 AM

Oh...it had better at least be on the Gcube, cause I can't imagine having to buy a whole nother system just for this game (although I probably would.) beigebigrazz.gif

I would be happy with a release date of Summer 2004, but there's no way in hell that'd happen. -_-;

*Sigh*

too bad.

Posted by: DJ_Donkey May 18 2004, 09:41 AM

I don't know but thats a heck of alot of enemies tossing about. Almost looks like Gibbons.
I'm not sure but it seems that there are 2 other characters in there.

You know, now that you say that, it does seem like it. There's like a pink blur to the right of the hunter. And there's also a dark figure right in front that isn't getting knocked on his ass.
lol...it's like we're scavanging for any and all PSU info. beigelaugh.gif

Posted by: DivA May 18 2004, 10:40 AM

~after reviewing all available trailers about a bazillion+ times, it's logical to say that S-team is further along in development of PsU than originally specified.. after all, the tid-bits of gameplay sequences speak for themselves ~ meaning that they have fleshed out a graphics engine with rendered archetypes performing some amazing combos.. Oo also, online/offline play is more than likely - the hint is given at the beginning of the direct-feed trailer ~ PsO 2? lol, that's an enticer that will grab our attention most certainly...i would be very surprised if online/offline play wasn't incorporated..

...

however, it's uncertain if PsU will arrive as a final-gen game before the advent the next-gen consoles; or, perhaps PsU will pioneer the next-gen as a first-gen game.. =.

Posted by: HC82 May 18 2004, 11:23 AM

Hmm...a Next gen game? Assuming the game is incredibly premature in it's developement, that is a possibilty. If the game is far more fleshed out then we are led to believe, it would probably appear on one of the systems soon. Most sega PSO games have been on the gamecube and Xbox.

Posted by: DivA May 18 2004, 11:49 AM

~true, & since no next-gen news was unveiled at this year's e3 (thus far, anyway..) - we could all be very fortunate to have PsU before the next-gen consoles arrive..

Posted by: unitself May 18 2004, 02:30 PM

ok... so according to usenet, PSU has been given a tentative date of Summer 2005. They also only mention PS2, but that could mean anything. As in the console wars are still as strong as ever in usenet world. beigesmile.gif

Posted by: DJ_Donkey May 19 2004, 07:41 AM

Yeah its sorta like when PSO Ep. I&II was coming out for XBOX.
Anyone remember, "OMG XBOX TEH GET PSO2!!@@"?
Then everyone just shuts up when it finally came out. Hehehe.
So for now, everything goes in the BS bucket.

I don't think I can take it.
Well, I guess that gives me plenty of time to wrap up with ep I&II then.
I wonder how many people would still play it once this game is released. I'm betting next to none. beigesleep.gif

Posted by: unitself May 19 2004, 08:44 AM

That is a legitimate fear.
Just look at how TFLO (xbox mmorpg) is going. We've known about this game for well over a year now and it keeps getting pushed back and back and back. It now has the same mid 2005 release for the USA.
I understand that companies want to create as much hype as they can for the newest game, but it's almost like a "crying wolf" syndrome. After awhile, we are just like, "pfft... whatever."

Does anyone here at AT even own the Xbox PSO? If so, what's it like online? I have heard nothing but bad things, but it can't really be all that bad! I keep seeing it for super cheap and for some @#$%ed up reason I have to slap myself into NOT buying it! Completist? Moron? :D

Posted by: Ikari May 19 2004, 11:15 AM

I have PSO for the XBox and I love it! Voice chat is the greatest of all things, and I really enjoyed it in the game. There are always some annoyances to put up with, stupid people and kids and such, but you get that no matter what. It just takes these people a little longer to type out their comments than it does to say them. Still once you got into your room with the four people, it was a lot better and chat really helps out games like this. Which is one of the reasons I can't wait for TFLO if it ever comes out (which I am starting to doubt).
