Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to PS4 along with 'Reborn: Episode 4' update!

Alright, I updated it but PSO2 is also outdated seeing as its a launch screenshot.


Also this is from the benchmarking option:


The engine came look pretty nice.

The ported Vita Version has less graphics and details but it runs smooth mostly all the time.

Although the graphics are not the best, It's really a good F2P MMO with a lot of things to do and the free ones are plentiful.

I hope 'reborn' means improved graphics... PSO2 would look shockingly dated on the PS4.

The game looks dated for a PC game . I'm sure the console game will came in at full price and the engine will be updated and improved for the PS4 . Its great news and hope the Team also make a dark Online adventure game too one day

I just hope for a Western Release, this is a perfect opportunity to do it.

According to MediaCrate the Playstation 4 has only sold 1.646.415 units since August 2nd 2015 in Japan. A little over 1.5 million units. At the end of March, Sony revealed that 23.3 million units were sold to consumers and 25.3 million shipped to retailers.



Would it make sense to port it to a console that has less than 2 million units sold in that region? Not to mention that Satomi specifically said he was impressed with the success of the PS4 and that he thinks Japanese style games can do good in the West if done right...

New update, new port... is this really PSO2 reborn?

[Nirmugen]

Maybe your right, George, but I think there is a great community  in Japan who can support the PS4 efficiently...I mean just look at this:


This is some LoL material right here.

^I think those comparison pics are probably out of context, but still good to see PSO2 has such a big following.

[Trippled]

I like how Sega has these various big communities across their games, especially the networked arcade games like Border Break, various card titles, Mahjong.

Kinda like the Blizzard of the east?

[George]

Yeah, its crazy that Border Break is still doing big tournaments for it and being updated...

Border Break Ver.4.5: Scramble came out this year.

[Trippled]

It racks up tons of money. Even without card tie ins, which is impressive.

[Nirmugen]

Marketinable IP's are a specialty by SoJ.

It's the same strategy that Bamco uses it although without the brand from the Manganime market.

[JRcade19]

So is this why it hasn't come out yet?
Because if not....

[George]

Well Namco has now been bringing over most of their Anime games, so ... no excuses!

[Kori-Maru]

Well Namco has now been bringing over most of their Anime games, so ... no excuses!

True that!

[Radrappy]

I was under the impression that Sega of America hardly exists anymore beyond a licensing firm for movie tie-ins.  Who is going to localize PSO2?
