Whoa Whoa Whoa what's the Phantasy Star game??!?!

Ronin · (09-10-2008, 05:01 AM)

Basara on PSP? Wonder if its the same style as the console games.

They mean big-eyed pastel shaded art? Interesting, though I don't know if that works for Phantasy Star.

Knowing it's the DS though, it'll probably be either an SRPG or a dating sim. Or both.

WTF??? Phantasy Star Zero for the DS? after the huge succes of Phantasy StarPortable (a remake) on the PSP i was hoping for a NEW game of the series for the sony portable. well more good games for the DS.

ivysaur12 · (09-10-2008, 05:05 AM)

Ugh... I thought PS0 was going to be a proper RPG for once.

Yakuza? I remember seeing Kenka Bancho 3 for the PSP, but not "Ryu Ga Gotoku"...

Kenka Banchou 3 was announced last week, though.

Yap, I saw that too but I also saw Yakuza 3.

This new PSO chat system is awesome, you are able to send your sketches!!

Seriously, I want to bang my head against the wall every time Sega announces some new shitty PSO game.

STOP IT ALREADY.

harSon · (09-10-2008, 05:18 AM)

Phantasy Star Zero could potentially be a good game if Soma Bringer is anything to go by but I'm not expecting much from Sega. Hope I'm wrong...

Can't wait for some Yakuza 3 news

Too bad suckas!

PSO all up in yo mouth!

Best news of all: This just might be a new PSO game and not a new PSU game. Woot woot woot woot woot

harSon · (09-10-2008, 05:28 AM)

Just saw a scan of Phantasy Star Zero, the characters are miniaturized (Looks like Final Fantasy 4 DS but a tad bit larger). Looks decent IMO.

The best part is the sketches chat system, seems you can send them in game real time.

Looks like I might be buying a new DS game.

Fuck the PSO haters.

distantmantra · (09-10-2008, 05:35 AM)

Was a Sunrise World War game even announced for the PS3? A PS2 sequel came out not too long ago, and bombed big time.

Dammit all I want is a new Sengoku Basara!
Doesn't have to be on PS3/360 but dammit I want a sequel...with a bunch of new characters and stages...on a console. =(

Cyber Formula is based on a futuristic racing anime. There were GC and PS2 games based on it. Sunrise World War had a couple PS2 games. I don't remember PS3 versions ever being mentioned by Sunrise Interactive.

Gunloc · 05:55 AM

I have no problem with the PSO series, I'm just disappointed were not getting an entry in the classic series. It's long overdue, especially since we were screwed over on the remakes in North America.

Shaheed79 · (09-10-2008, 05:50 AM)

There hasn't been a PS I've been wanting to play since PSIV. Time to go back to basics and rip off EO.

Wait, I thought you said nothing but good news?

Delio · (09-10-2008, 06:02 AM)

I'm excited for PSO in the DS. I really dont mind any of the complaints it looks good to me and with wifi it should be fun with friends. All that matters in my eyes.

JCX · (09-10-2008, 06:04 AM)

Phantasy star Zero! yay something to look forward to.

Those Trusty Bell scores are all over the place. What did they say about it? I hope it's a good port.

Why in the world should they ever do that, given that last week they announced a new Shining Force SRPG -- the first in eleven years -- only to have it met with yawns and insipid complaints like "generic anime art" and "oh it isn't Camelot" and "no grids?" Hell, they even went and made it 2D.

You people don't deserve anything more than this.

xfactor · (09-10-2008, 06:10 AM)

I'm hyped

sprsk · (09-10-2008, 06:11 AM)

Ehhh

Do you really have the confidence in the Sega of today to make a Phantasy Star game that lives up to the old ones? Look at the awful story in PSU.
