Those that played PSOBB on the JP servers, those that play PSU (also on the JP servers) or those that buy physical copies of Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity have a chance of getting a code to play on PSO2 alpha test.

I find this kinda stuff racist.
What about us NA fans?
We should get a taste
never will tho
Cause I guaratee Sega will just drop a half-ass translation on, pop on a server that'll be up for a couple months than crash the sucker due to sales not being good.
Because we suffer from World of Warcrack.

I think WoW is popular all over the world, not just North America. Also PSO2 is developed in Japan... It's not racist if they want to test it before spending money on localization.
We should give this game a chance before badmouthing it. Still... What is your guarantee? What will you give up if you are wrong?

Not too bad, these requirements are slightly higher than Mass Effect 2 requirements, PSO2 should look nice graphically. :>

Assassins creed 2 made me build a whole new PC, so i'm really happy that i'm going to be able to play this on the highest settings.
Wow, but them giving a way the requirements allready must mean the game is allready far in production, at least I hope so :P
Edit: Oh wait, their talking specifically about the alpha

Yes and should look nice 'when' it comes to the consoles :)

I'm not a computer whiz, so tell me, would an iMac run this game well if using boot camp and running windows?
here's the iMac I purchased back in late 2008:

I believe I can add more memory, if need be.

Dunno, depends on the specifications. If it's fairly recent, the CPU should be fine, now it depends on the graphics card...
Do you know which CPU and graphics card your iMac has?
-
Just posted these on the front page. You people are fast!
Minimum requirements are pretty high and this is only for the Alpha... I suspect final game might be higher still.
Sounds like it's going to be pretty beautiful graphically.

From what i've learned, Mac computers have even higher requirements when it comes to games. Check the requirements for assassins creed 2 compared to windows.

Who knows...if they improve the game graphically until the final product, it could end up with higher requirements, but with fixing bugs and optimizing the game until final product, it could also end up with lower requirements.
Anyway, I guess a good way to check if a PC could handle PSO2 is with the demo of Mass Effect 2, which has somewhat similar minimum requirements (a bit lower requirements than PSO2, but close enough...based on the requirements alone, if a PC can't handle ME2, most likely it won't be able to handle PSO2).

Mac system requirements are only for running it in Mac OS, which will probably not be supported anyway. Bootcamp requirements should be the same as any other PC. The hard part is trying to figure out which intel core 2 duo you have. It only says the GHz in the system profiler, from what I can see.
I think your computer will work great. It's better than my iMac (2006), and mine should work.
I'm debating whether I would want to play it on the Mac Mini on my TV, or the iMac in the guest room / office.... Looks like the Mac Mini has 2GB of RAM. That may be pushing it.

The Core 2 Duo E6300 is 1.87GHz and it belongs to the first generation of Core 2 processors, any Core 2 with higher frequency, and even the Pentium Dual-Core E5000/E6000 series should be able to handle PSO2.
The problem for anyone using a Mac could be the graphics card, since usually Macs have low-end to mid-end graphics card. The first iMac that had a graphics card as good or better than the 7800GT was in the early 2008 iMac series, with the optional Geforce 8800GS. Previous iMacs used cards like the Radeon HD2400 or HD2600, which are quite a bit below the 7800GT...

Thanks for the info about the processors. That's good news. I guess I'll take a good look at the video cards when I get home.
I also wonder if you could play it from multiple locations, like you can with WoW.

Well, if there's no restriction in changing the graphics card on a Mac, that is, if you can use any card that is used by PCs, I would recommend something around Radeon HD4670 (price is in the $65-$75 range), or Radeon HD5670 ($80-$90).
There's also the Geforce GT430, GT240 and GT440, but the GT430 costs the same as the HD4670 and is weaker, and the GT240/GT440 costs the same as the HD5670 and are weaker.

Don't think so, the X1600 is below the minimum requirements.
The best X1600 barely matches the Geforce 7600 series, and I heard that the X1600 used for the iMac was the worst of the bunch, the Mobility X1600 chip, which only matches the Geforce FX 5900 series :

That one...no idea...I think it barely meets requirements, it's possibly just a little bit worse than the 7800GT...
Will it be able to handle PSO2? Maybe yes, maybe not...who knows...

Emmett, you have money don't you? =P
Just buy a Mac Pro. That would defiantly run PSO2, probably at fairly high settings too XP

Any of the current iMacs should be able to handle PSO2 as well, they're all above the minimum requirements:

I have some money, but I am also married and have a baby due in August. I can't keep buying computers. I have 5 Mac Minis (one is going to be repurposed into a baby monitor), 1 Macbook, 1 Macbook Pro and 1 iMac.
The Mac Pro is nice, but I feel like they are so expensive by the time you get it configured and expanded the way you want it will either be dead or obsolete. ONce with my Quicksilver G4 I fried the motherboard putting a firewire/USB combo card in. Ever since then I decided not to waste money on towers.

I agree. I think in order to keep my marriage intact I need some computers to die before I buy any more.
Unless I sell some... :twisted:
