Congrat. Sharky and all of you guys:

"SEGAbits is typically a reliable source of information"

[Alex Supersonic]

Congrats for the scoop!

I'm not so excited as everyone of you... they announce PSO2 after many years and then it's on PC?! C'mon... ARE THEY DRUNK?!

Microsofts and Sonys keynote are already over, so it won't be announced for those consoles now... let's hope hardly the game will also be out for consoles. PSO2 exclusive on PC would be a epic fail.

SEGA is claiming copyright on youtube. Oops, guess we got them all angry. Had to reupload it on another service that won't take it down.

HYPE

Put it on Mac OS you bastards :cry:

/joy

[George]

MAC OS, PS3, PC all in one server.

IF Microsoft lets it be, 360 too?

[Emmett The Crab]

George, that would be perfect, but I will buy the version that lets me play with the Segabits clan.

[Barry the Nomad]

Very awesome! Thanks to Sharky for hitting me up on 360 chat to give me the news. Also cool to be referenced by 1up, joystiq and TSS. Everything is going to plan, muahaha!

Now to wish for a console release (360 and PS3). If all else fails, looks like I'll finally be using Boot Camp on my Mac.

[George]

Yup, has been a good day for SEGAbits. Now, if only they also released it on consoles, regardless, I will be guying it. PC if I have to.

[Barry the Nomad]

Has PSU been successful on the 360? Also, how well connected are Windows games and 360 games in terms of cross-platform releases? These might be good indicators of whether it comes to consoles or not. Hell, with PS3 getting FF online, MS should partially fund a console release.

edit: Spong and scrawlfx cited SEGAbits! ripten did not and thus they are losers.

[George]

Doesn't a SEGA fan work at Spong? I always see his name pop up in big SEGA related articles. Mostly stuff we already posted before, though we also got it from a different source.

[SOUP]

I hope it comes to a console. I suck at keyboard/mouse control for everything but FPS, RTS, and Peggle.

[Sieghardt]

ffuuuuuuuuuu
have you guys read the latest PSP2i blog post by Sakai?
There are bits of it censored out, he's teasing like hell XD

There are a couple of Xbox games that will let you play with their PC (read "Games for Windows") counterpart. How successful that is I have no idea. Of course, this would mean locking out other platforms.

SEGA japan abuses the 360 PSU servers.

They consider them SEGA west servers and don't touch them, and rarely give SEGA America anything to update them with.

PC/PS2 site

you can see which one gets more love from the sites alone


the only reason the 360 version is still open is because of the west.  otherwise it would closed.
