Online games: Ps2Fantasy & Star Wars Galaxies
I was just reading today in Star Wars: Galaxies official FAQ that players will be able to build cities or little towns in the game. You'll be able to own vehicles, pets and also droids that can help you during the game. This game looks awesome and will be released for PC (hopefully this year) and consoles (next year).
Don't you think it would be great to create a Ps2Fantasy city or team into the game to go and rock into the Star Wars universe? You know we can go and create a Rebel group for example, buy our own spaceship at Mos Eisley... and the wannabe-Jedi in our team could travel together from planet to planet to find a way to train and learn the way of the force... hey and maybe somebody could turn into a Sith... who knows? Well I'm not mad, just a BIG fan of the series. BIG, really. |

LOL thats cool, is it going to be a massivly multiplayer game or what? Is it coming out for PS2? I am a pretty big fan of star wars to, I have always loved it, but some of the games they make are just copies kinda of the same kinda game a month or week before that, they come out with soooo many Space shooters its not funny. I hope this one is good though cus it sounds really good!!!

Actually, I think this could be the hugest MMORPG around next year (yes, even bigger than FFXI). It's coming to PC, Ps2 and Xbox... the game is enomous, nine entire planets to explore, comeple character customization... basiclaly the developers worked to let the players do everything they have seen in the movies.

It'd sure be cool, but its doubtful I'll be joining you: Star wars does nothing wonderful for me, and I'll be probably too into FFXI to care... The only problem I really have would be that Galaxies will almost certainly have wide PvP use (PvP being the tool of arseholes the world over, and risks destroying commnunities like those Galaxies promises to make) ... Oh and I'd far rather be a Dragoon or a Black Mage than a Jedi, but I'm sure they'll be plently to disagree
Oh and finally, the chances of a PS2fantasy village would sadly be low... as cool as any MMORPG sounds, only about 20% of the people here are going to be able to afford an online life... Though its an awful nice thought to take the community that much futher... Oh and Harry? what plans do you currently have for PS2 online coverage on PS2fantasy?

Just dreaming a bit Speaking of coverage for online games, I was thinking about a weekly special, starting with our preview of U.S. Socom Navy Seals and then continuing with a look at FFXI, Nobunaga Online and Star Wars: Galaxies (but developers are not willing to speak about the console versions yet...). Surprisingly, it's not that easy to have official answers on details and other aspects of Ps2 online. If you have any particular request, or if you noticed that other websites didn't care about an important aspect of online games, just drop me a line. And thanks for asking, I thought just a couple of people in the forums were actually reading the content of the website. Oh, a last thing - don't get me wrong: I'm very excited about playing Final Fantasy XI too! So maybe we'll be able to travel together in FFXI |

I've talked today with LucasArts PR and they said that there are no details about the console versions... and to me, it seemed we'll have to wait for a long time before having futher details. And yes, the core development guys, who worked on Ultima and Everquest, have experience like no other when it comes to online games. And there is one thing that they are doing and that I really appreciate... they constantly talk with gamers using the game community and forums (https://www.starwarsgalaxies.com) and they ask real suggestions and ideas - It's something that will be very useful to the final product. |

Is the PS2 game going to be a slightly different version of the PC game? Or a whole different MMORPG? Ive seen the PC screenshots, and I dont see how they could possibly port this game to the PS2, its just too pretty.
And apparently, they're already planning an expansion pack. Ripoff! |

Oh well... you are speaking of the space expansions right? Well, the game is just so huge (9 times the world of Everquest) that we can't speak of a ripoff. Just read the faq (https://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony...atures/faq.jsp) and start drooling...
The Space expansion will add the possibility to take part into real "Star Wars" with your X-Wing, Tie Fighter etc... Of course, you'll have to buy the spaceship, and in order to buy it you ahve to earn a good amount of money. The add-on will be released at the time that a consistent number of players will have the money (both in-game - to buy the spaceships - and in the real world - to buy the add-on - hahaha) There are no details on the Ps2 or Xbox version yet - and yes, the game looks pretty, but actually Final Fantasy XI seems to me as surprising as this. In other words, I sincerely think the Ps2 will be able to handle it. What I don't understand is how they can say that the came should be playable with a normal mode. To me, it seems impossible. |

In other words, also the ones who don't have a broadband connection should be able to play the game.... Oh and that's actually a gorgeous in-game screenshot... look at the quality of the textures, the sky, the smoke, the shadow and real.time lighting effects... yes that's really impressive. We'll see what they can do with the Ps2. |

Well, EverQuest is playable with a modem, so are most other MMORPGs.
I wonder how the expansion pack thing will be handled on consoles.. hmm. |

I would assume this is what the HDD is for. Just a guess. |

And well, the expansion pack thing could be troublesome for the console version... even if with the HDD necessary to play MMORPG there is no reason that an expansion should not be available for console users... Or maybe they will release the game + expansion in the same DVD for the consoles? Oh well, we are just speculating, but that's fun. What's sure... this is going to be one of the hottest titles of the years to come... |
