E3’s Big Four Part 3: Phantasy Star Online
The final part showcases the epic Sonic Team RPG Phantasy Star Online:
Showcasing the global interactivity, the movie boasted a never-ending quest and “an online community the size of the entire world”. The entire Swatch “beat” time was blatantly pointed out, as the video kept saying informing us that the game was always online, always playable, 1,000 beats a day, 365 days a year. We were shown how the languages would be translated during the game with side-by-side movies going of the exact same sequence both in English and Japanese. Battle sequences as well as exploration footage were all on display, and all looked unbelievable. This will be a game to watch out for.
