New details have emerged of forthcoming PC, PS2 and Xbox 360 title Phantasy Star Universe - including news that you'll be able to create and customise your very own virtual living space.
That's according to an article in Famitsu, partially translated by GameSpot, which says you'll use special "remodelling tickets" to choose yourself a room from a range of designs.
You'll be able to spruce up your space by purchasing special items, and give other players presents, too. When you're online, up to five players can come and join you in your room - and even when you're offline, it'll still be open for others to come and visit. And if you need to drum up a bit of cash, you can even hold a jumble sale in your room to get rid of any unwanted junk.
VGU.TV's Andrew Nino explores the sad legacy of MMO attempts on the Xbox and Xbox 360, and why massively multiplayer gameplay has had such a hard time getting by on Microsoft consoles.
PSO2, TERA, Defiance(is coming to 360) and maybe Elder Scrolls Online will work since it only has 5 action buttons.
Seriously though PSO2 and TERA need to come to PS3/360 or next gen systems at least.
I have been wondering that all this gen.
Still amazed why they didn't create an MMO game where you play as your avatar. Give the accessories you can buy attributes etc.
Dammit I was looking forward to True Fantasy Online back with the old box. Shed a tear when it got cancelled. It was to be my jump into the MMO arena. Sigh : (
Sequels don't always work out. Sometimes they even hurt the series or franchises they are attached to. These are 15 worst sequels to ever release in video game history.
The article talks about most of the games pretty quickly and then all of a sudden STAR WARS. STAR WARS EVERYWHERE.
The only thing I don't like about SMB2 is the controls for picking up stuff is confusing.
Also, Doki Doki Panic is a Nintendo game. So SMB2 isn't a copy, it's a localization.
Phantasy Star Universe has shut down completely following the closure of its remaining servers.
The multiplayer online game, which went live in 2006, was still in operation in Japan until Sonic Team pulled the plug in the Asian territory this week.
Goodbye to a game that gave me quite a few memories. I met some people on PSU that I still play with today. Always sad to see a game go..... Thank you Phantasy Star Universe.
Never played any phantasy star game but it seems as though I'm missing out.
How is the DS game ?
Phantasy star online was awesome and so fun for it's time.
And....it's coming to vita! ^^
Phantasy star had to be one of ma most favourite games on the dreamcast. I also enjoyed the free beta Pc version. Never purchased the real thing though.
Does this have a montly fee.
And why isn't it coming to the PS3?
