Phantasy Star Universe, after three years of players fighting various creates on a distant planet is dis discontinuing its online service. According to Sega the servers will be shut down permanently on the 31st of March, 2010.
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.
DCUO is pretty good in my opinion and you can see that the devolpers are quit happy with what they have build on the ps3.
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! ^^
Does anyone still play this? <.<
I'm really confused by this article. So Sega is shutting down the servers for Phantasy Star Universe, but the Xbox 360 version will still be online and updated regularly?
I wish they would make phantasy star online instead of universe. PSO combat was alot better IMHO.
I played this on PC, fun while it lasted but not enough depth to the game to keep you playing for a long time. I would say its hack and slash online if you need a generalization.
