Yeah technology has definitely evolved backwards

Video games just decided to look depressing after 6th gen

2000's futurism used to be so hopeful :(

The art direction of PSO is unmatched. Sega could never replicate it.

The wrong console lost the console wars, it should have been Sony

Dreamcast graphics aged nicely. FSAA 480p 60fps, 2x the vram of PS2, VGA support. Look at those sharp textures. No shaders, but they packed in color & detail to compensate. Rare good hardware design choices for 90s Sega, guess they learned hard lessons from the Saturn.

I always put it as "Phantasy Star Online is an MMO taking place in the backdrop of 3D Sonic stages."

my favorite franchise i miss it :(

If you made a game with this much soul today they just kill you

Phantasy Star is such an amazing aesthetic, and the gameplay is pretty fun, but very grindy. Shame nothing came out after PSO2. But specifically PSO and PSU are so cool.

Love for technology made this game

@ogbrian_b I’ve been playing PSO on my original Xbox in a fan run server and it’s so good.

What game is that? looks sick!!

I must have spent 10k hours on PSO:BB

Them colours are popping out like crazy, it doesn't look like that on my gamecube.

That web browser PSO that was up for like a week brought back some feelings. The thing even supported my Xbox controller.

the uptick of pso tweets on my feed has got to be one of the best things ive ever experienced

gaming used to just be goated, new creative ideas in plot, world building, visuals, gameplay. now we just get a lot of companies playing overly safe and everything besides some standout games look and play the same.

Your PSO posts keep showing up in my timeline and I'm like yes I enjoy that

Not even sega has managed to do something as cool as this again

Just started

I would like to cite the PSO rappy and the modern rappy, wtf

I feel like gaming aesthetics peak in the dreamcast era and had a renaissance in the gamecube/ps2 era. I loved playing PSO back in the day with my brother. Still one of the greatest gaming experiences in my life.

Phantasy Star Online! PEAK!

@SEGA REMAKE THIS GAME!

I'm so very tempted to see if I can get my old PSO up and running on the fan servers again.

overwatch looks like this

Sega must work in a PSO Remake asap.

Brb going to beat .hack GU for the 23456th time

behold, the power of strong art direction

infelizmente não posso jogar isso meu namorado tem labirintite e eu acho que isso ia matar ele

Genuinely so glad of the uptick of old PSO talk. I ended up downloading Ephinea so I can give Blue Burst a proper go soon!

I fucking love pso man

WE ARE SO BACK

THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING PSOBB THE BEST.
