View Full Version : What system will you play PSO2 on?
norrisj15
This is all theoretical but lets say that the game was to be released on all 3 major platforms. What would you play it on?
Just interested to see the results.
yoshiblue
Most likely 360 unless I upgrade my graphics card on my PC.
PSO2 on the wii would be nice. Not hate, just saying.
Ezodagrom
No it wouldn't be nice, since the Wii has a really limited storage, having PSO2 on the Wii would mean that there would be no major patches or real updates, we could end up in the same situation as PSU, with SEGA slowly unlocking content that is already in the disc. ._.
Anyway, on topic, I'm going with PC (well, it's possible that it might not even be released for any of the consoles).
I was thinking about the upcoming Wii 2 with high hopes though. But your right. Unless they give people to memory cards like they did with games like animal crossing and the like.
Korten12
If it comes out for ps3, ps3, if it doesn't, PC.
r00tabaga
I'm fine with PC. I'm skeptical about PS3's on-line capabilities now! That woulda been my choice. I really think that this will stay a PC only game.
While trying not to get into an arguement. I assume this is due to the whole PSN fiasco? Which is understandable why you are skeptical.
IceGreg
Xbox 360 if Sega bring the game on it.
PC, if the game does not come to 360.
•Col•
I haven't been following it that much, but last I heard they had to do some restructuring of it or something...
Yeah, it will be up this week, I hope today. Me wishes to play Socom 4 multi and BLOPS zombies multi. >:(

Its ironic, since Yathzee said on a podcast that he is basicaly console only.
Vashyron
PC of course, I only use consoles for something not available on PC.
I would say the same but my PC isn't that great lol.
FEI LEE
Except for fighting games.
What about mugen?
I guess you could say that but I was mostly aiming at larger scale retail games.
Then with that your are right.
Not like you can't link a Arcade stick to a PC or anything.... wait....
Well if we add the arcades, they would always win! Woooo!
t3hVeG
PC of course, though if it is released later on the PS3 I will probably play that version as well. (could care less about a 360 release)
Ps3 is the only system I don't own lol. Im not made of money either.
PS3, if that is announced, but PC works for me too, it's not as graphics intensive as some games and I'm glad I don't need to get a completely new graphics card to play it.
NoiseHERO
Wasn't PC the best with both of the past PS games? o_o
Sinue_v2
Well, considering I have;
PSO v.1 (Dreamcast), PSO v.2 (Dreamcast), PSO Ep I & II (GameCube), PSO Ep I & II (Xbox), PSO Ep III (GameCube), PSO Blue Burst (PC), PSU (PS2), PSU (PC w/AoTI), PSU (X360 w/ AoTI), PSZero (DS), and am on the verge of deciding whether or not I should go out tonight or tomorrow and buy a PSP with PSP & PSP2...
Which platform would I play PSO2 on?
Probably, All of them.
Yes. Though you will still have some argue that the Dreamcast version of PSO was the best, but that's just their nostalgia talking. :p
It's not a "Wii 2", lol. Right now it's called Project Cafe, and the fact that they did away with motion controls probably means it's not gonna be named anything after the Wii.
OH THE TOPIC.
Yeah, PC.
^I called it the Wii two because i don't know much about it. Should have called it the N64 Advanced!
bns1991
Nintendo is supposed to be unveiling some new hardware. Since I played on gamecube, I would more than likely play on the nintendo system.
If that's what it were called, my life would be complete and I would never be sad ever again.
Hentai_Kittie
Project Cafe supposedly have better motion controllerd abilities, and i hope that PSO2 shows up on that insted. That way pso2 wont have to be downgraded in any way. Yay!
~LG Slate!
I voted for PC, but if it did come out for the next Nintendo console I'd probably get it for that too, lol.
Niloklives
why are people voting on something where two of the three options don't exist? someone should rename the thread "what system would you like to play on?" cause "will" is pretty damn presumptuous.
Made on the spur of the moment i guess. Wasn't well thought out?
Wheres the Dreamcast option?
It's a hypothetical. I guess it's to see if people would play the game on the PS3/360 over a PC if given the chance.
Justyn_Darkcrest
If only the Genesis wasn't so hard to program. Or was that the Saturn?
Worst poll e v e r .
Tetsaru
Philips CD-i (MAH BOI), with ports for the Atari Jaguar and Nintendo Virtual Boy. :wacko:
I think I heard somewhere segasaturn was as complicated as playstation systems. @[email protected]
On some emulation site...
saturn was the direct competition to the original Playstation...It better be on the same level >_>
GreenThunder
If anything, either console would work.
I'm no good concerning PC games, especially with the distractions and all.
Wang My Getsu
i would play on the 360 i prefer it over the ps3 and i dont really enjoy playing pc games
Where did you hear that? From everything I saw (including the pictures), there is no sign of motion controls at all.
/offtopic.
The rumor is that it's backward compatible with the Wii. This rumor is sometimes followed with another that says they've developed an even better motion controller.... I dunno why they'd need that though, cuz Wii Motion Plus is more than good enough already and would be nice with the First Person Shooting gameplay of PSO2...
Blueblur
I will always love this image. :D
there's no FPS mode that we know of
PC: Anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you
Everyone else: :argh:
Meant to say third person, lol.
Skye-Fox713
i'll be playing it on the pc.
PC. I <3 my lappy. I sleep with it naked every night <3.
MidiPour
PC, and then PS3, if Sega ever decides to port PSO2. I'm hoping there is a console port, because most people I know who like PSO refuse to play PC games.
Then let them be stupid ;)
moorebounce
If I had a choice it would be the PC. I'm already used to playing Blue Burst on it. Besides I'm not giving M$ any more of my money.
Well you are if you're using a PC lol.
Anduril
I'll probably play on the PC, especially if they port it to the PS3 which I have no intention of buying anytime soon due to my slow down in gaming overall.
Poll should say "if ported"...otherwise, it makes no sense. It's like saying "What system will you play Wii Resort on?"
You can play Wii resort on PC.
That's great.
You have to worry if the other persons computer is running the game perfectly on top of connection since each frame is important and can lead to dropped combos.
This isn't as relevant but if you hope to become competitive or substancially "good" at the game there are also no top players on pc as well so most end up being casual players (not that there is any problem whatsoever with that).
thats cause most fighters never get released on PC. Has nothing to do with dropped frames because even a PS3 and a 360 are known to drop frames. the last big fighter to hit PC was SFIV. seeing as a computer can run a game at 180fps and higher a sustained 60fps is nothing with a good video card. I can run most any game well above 100fps while running all sorts of background tasks. try updating your machine before you make such wild assertions.
PWNT. That is all.
How do you figure that because I'm not going to play it on the 360? And didn't buy anything from M$ when I built my PC.
Windows - which you typically buy, is a MS product. and most gamers don't use linux for obvious reasons.
I'm pretty sure they weren't aware that you, like many could and would easily pirate your OS.
PC as that is the only platform.

PC it is.

We'll see. :) If I can choose one that's not PC (yes, yes, I know) I'd choose that.
Then you would be a fool! You can't install nude mods on consoles :). mmm, nude FOnewearls.
Right, right. Didn't even think about that. :)
_Kaos_
I'll be playing on my PC.
Keilyn
Isn't the game itself slated for PC-ONLY release?
I would only play it on PC because of the limiting factors of consoles. It is not to say consoles are not powerful, but their technology remains "Static" and "Unchanged" during their life cycles. This forces for many years to dumb down a game to the lowest common denominator.
It means a game will have to designed for Playstation 3, display at 1280x720 when Integrated Intel 3000 series graphics on their i7-2600K processors now display a higher framerate than the internals in the Xbox 360.
At the end of the day a mod and update would have to be made compatible for all platforms. Now a piece of information that you should be aware of is that although every major Phantasy Star Game was originally developed for a console, eventually the game prospered on PC and enjoyed longevity.
PSU is getting overhauls due to separating itself from PS2, so of course I will side with PC.
Lol I REALLY doubt that if games that look like Battlefield 3 and so on can be developed for this gen of consoles, that PSO2 would have any factors being limited by a current consoles hardware.
But yeah, PSO2 is currently PC only, so any talk of that is completely irrelevant anyway.
Why the hell is this being bumped? What was the point in commenting? Some people thought is was consoles too, they were proved wrong. Topic over. No point in beating a dead horse just cause you can't be bothered to look back two pages

joshboyd1209
Since you mentioned Battlefield 3
http://bf3blog.com/2011/04/dice-consoles-are-holding-pc-games-back/
Ark22
Didn't we say we wanted it on Ps3 or a high chance? Not it will be on Ps3
I wouldnt hold my breath for a console release.
Why would they release this on console? PC is better for tons of reasons for one thing they MIGHT be able to eventually release DLC that actually allows one to get better graphics or something like that.
Zyrusticae
Oh, yes, definitely. Aion, for example, is getting a new graphics engine update in the 2.5 patch. EVE had the Trinity update that completely revamped its graphics, and CCP has been continuously upgrading the graphics since. Age of Conan similarly has had constantly evolving graphics features. As long as PSO2 remains PC-exclusive such a major update is not out of line.
If they put it on consoles, however, that possibility is completely stricken from the list. Consoles can only be pushed so far, so hard, before they break, simply because of their fixed hardware.
In other words, a PC-exclusive game can have a much, MUCH longer shelf life than any console game ever will, simply because of the nature of the platform. And that's a big, huge plus in my book.
This is all true, but PSO2 will never be so graphically intense, even if updated constantly, so much so that it will 'break' a modern console's capabilities.
How do you know? They might eventually have this game to the point where it feels like you're in it. Also if they keep it PC only it COULD have a shelf life of 20+ years.
Yeah Josh, that's never gonna happen lol.
And have you looked at modern console games recently? Most of them look far, far, far superior to PSO2. If consoles are going to hold any aspect of PSO2 back, it certainly isn't going to be anything hardware related.
ShinMaruku
You don't know Sega very well. :P
CelestialBlade
Don't personally care if PSO2 expands to consoles or not, but I'll be playing it on PC regardless. I don't think it'll really matter either way, PSO had a long shelf life and PSU had a short one, and they were both multi-platform. You'll find the same variance in PC-only online games. Shelf life has a lot more to do with game/service quality than hardware limitations most of the time, in my experience.
I'm personally more concerned with how they'll set up servers assuming PSO2 goes multi-platform. I'd personally like to see less server segregation, but I'm not 100% privy to all the legal aspects of that.
PS4 & the next XBOX will have this then?
Chibi Cast Master
its only on pc that what sega says
Never listen to developers before a game is done.
never listen to random pervos who only have one thing to say.
Big assumption.
All we've seen of the game so far is pre-alpha footage and screenshots.
Ordinarily, the public never actually sees anything before the game at least reaches alpha. There is a LOT of development space left before the game hits retail.
360 because of the automatic voice chat, but PC if they don't release on Xbox.
Even if this game is in development for the next three years, it's not going to look so good that modern consoles won't be able to run it. Now, I doubt that it will ever even be released for consoles, and I don't really care. But if you'd take a look at what modern console gaming has to offer, from a technology standpoint, it's almost absurd to think that PSO2 will be too high end for consoles to run.
Look at images like
http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/crysis-2-screenshot-city-corner-park.jpg
or watch videos like the Bioshock Infinite gameplay, or countless other console games. Seeing those, it's hard to me to understand how you think PSO2, even after it's finished, could be too much for a console to handle.
I don't think anyone has been able to intelligently argue that the consoles of today aren't up to the task when it comes to graphics. Granted the 360 is basically running on par with an HD 5450, but even then a 5450 is more than enough to run this game currently.
Honestly it's just stupid to dev a game that is intended to be out for 10 years under hardware AND that's structured for planned obsolescence even half way into their 6 year product cycle. There's lots of reasons not to dev for consoles but being able to keep up with the technology of today isn't one of them yet.
Lugia2126
PSO2 will be released on PS3 Too?! SWEET!
Not officially, but it seems likely to me. I really can't see PSO2 staying PC-exclusive, too much money for Sega to get out of the console market.
Akaimizu
Hard to say. I think it might take a while. It costs much less money and resources to maintain 1 platform. I think they want to make sure they have everything in order on the PC before they explore other platforms. Take note, we're also talking about multiple regions as well.
Well I wish we knew for sure so that I don't have to spend 2G's on a PC for this game. How would they replace the hot keys though?
For the 900th time(Infact the 900th on a LOT of things you say........) you do NOT need 2000 fucking dollars just to build a brand new pc that can run this game...in no way shape or possible form is that necessary and saying it, is like hitting people with a bat that leaves a mark saying "ROOTABAGA IS IGNORANT!!"
DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THInK YOU'RE IGNORANT?? ARE YOU UNABLE TO TELL THAT THAT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE??
If you're spending more than $700 JUST for PSO2 your money will be better placed in a stripper's G-string-Oh-wait, You'd probably dislike women in G-strings touching your PSO money anyway. >______________>
So far it's PC only, and there's been a few hints that it will stay PC only.
Don't count on PSO2 coming to any console unless SEGA officially confirms it.
A full PC that is considerably above PSO2 alpha requirements only costs around $800 or so. A decent full gaming PC costs around $1200.
Nothing is proven wrong until the game closes, they could always change their minds at a later date, or just not have told us it's definite cause they might still be in negotiations with Sony/Microsoft for a multi-platform release.
And for your information, the horse started it >.>
Any moderators available, close thread.
PC only for me, end of story.
@r00tabaga: lol, I spent like $700-$800 on my PC, what makes you say you need $2k for a gaming PC?
Laptop that I want costs some money.
@Michaeru....grow up...use big boy words. Nobody wants to listen to your whiney shit anymore. Your trolling is becoming obsessive. If this game ever comes out on a console now or a future console, I would rather do that then spend money on a gaming laptop, so stfu & bother someone else.
Oh i see , BTW thanks for the info.... :beer:
Ah i see , its good that it releases on PC since people has pc's ^^;
[QUOTE=CelestialBlade;2634695]Not officially, but it seems likely to me. I really can't see PSO2 staying PC-exclusive, too much money for Sega to get out of the console market.[/QUOTE
They could hit a larger audience if they released on consoles too. I think that it will eventualy come ported to the new Xbox & PS4, but not until a year or two of PC only love.
Torchlight is an example of a game that was hugely popular on PC & became an XBL game later in it's cycle.
SephirothXer0
Laptops are horrible for games, get a desktop instead. More power for far less money.
And don't give me crap about needing it for school. We did just fine in school with pens, notebooks, and tape recorders.
Portable is the way I want to go, big deal. You guys go buy or build whatever you want. Don't worry about how others like me spend their money. I can't bring a desktop to my work like I can a lapper. If I am home I can go to my game room TV or my bedroom with a lapper. The alpha specs are not too demanding for the laptop I have in mind.
LOL "big boy words" if you made less of the same stupidly wrong posts maybe it wouldn't seem so "obsessive" to "troll" you. If anything all of those stupid posts are of YOU whining, anyway. I guess ignorance IS bliss, because you can't seem to break out of yours...
Also "future console"? From the sounds you would have already wasted that "2G" on your computer by then, a LAPTOP even. But yeah okay, I'll let someone else tell you when your posts sound stupid from now on.
Please look up these forum's guidelines and rules please. You harassing me is probably frowned upon. How old are you anyways? Don't worry about me from now on. It's gonna get you booted son.
"Please look up the guidelines"
"Harassing me is probably frowned upon"
So, you're telling him to read the guidelines, when you obviously haven't? I mean, this is coming from the guy who double posts all the time. Oh, and he's harassing you? You mean like how you tried to troll me into an stupid argument in the 'What you want in PSO2' topic, where I hadn't even posted?
Trust me, you're far more on your way to being 'booted' than he is, son.
Now, as for the whole price of a gaming computer. A rig, even a laptop that will run PSO2 easily will NOT cost you more than one grand. My PC cost me 620 dollars, and there's not a single game I can't max out on it. I am going to blow through PSO2 at a buttery smooth 60FPS.
Dongra
I love how r00tabaga manages to get under everyone's skin on this board. It's absolutely amazing that all of you decide to reply to him, and continue to drag things out, rather than ignore him. Whether it's intentional or not, this guy has got to be one of the most successful trolls I've seen on this board, and I salute him.
SALUTE HIM! Why on Earth would you do that?!
There's rules on derailing threads too. Also, stop feeding trolls.
I really don't see a decent laptop having any amount of trouble running PSO2, judging from the alpha trailer. It's pretty but it's not something super demanding like Aion or whatevs. I doubt it would be a chore for the current console generation either.
Haters gonna hate! -lol I'm clearly winning b/c these kids are showing no class, just swearing up a storm b/c I wanna buy a gaming laptop...WIPPED-E-FREEGIN-DEW....actually Michaeru & Malashite are really THE only two moronic posters that I've run across. Everyone else is straight. Peeople who disagree with my opinions at least have logical responses. These two idiots have nothing to contribute except for digs & cheap shots. I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but have a take or stfu. I don't follow them arond like they do me. They can't seem to have any sophisticated conversations.
I dbl posted once.......look it up...Vortex already crushed me for doing so...shoot me
I've personally seen you double post on two occasions, I'm sure you've done it more. Sophisticated conversations? Where are yours? Lol the only thing you've managed to "contribute" since you've started posting is an incredible ability to annoy everyone with your sheer ignorance, and derail multiple topics with your whining/trolling.
But yeah, those guys are right. I shouldn't be replying to you, just a waste of time.
You wanna stay on topic please? I'll just talk to you like I talk to my children, we'll see if that works. <shakes my head with doubts>
A good gaming laptop doesn't cost $2000 as well, there's a rather good one for just $1200, that gaming laptop is actually better than my current desktop.
If you wanna buy an overpriced laptop, be my guest, it's your money.
Wow, that is decent. Nilok likes Asus too so I might check those out when it comes time to buy, tyvm.
I'm suggesting that laptop not because of it's brand, but because of it's specifications, especially the processors and graphics. The brand is good too though. ^^
The only thing I'm worried about is Asus service. I got buddies who I work with who say that their service is bad. If you need repairs you have to send the whole thing including power supply to China. Dell comes right to your house with part in hand if you buy Dell.
Lol, for your own sake, please, never buy a dell. Especially for gaming.
also nice edit bro, socool.
Go to your room Malachite.
SyianZi
I would play this on the 360 as more of my friends would be able to join in, however, i'm currently building my next pc ready for this anyway.
Tell your n00b friends to get a gaming computer.
Ah, there you go again, and yet you call me the unsophisticated one, saying get to get back on topic, while you sit here and derail it with your own immaturity. And all I'm tryin' to do is give you some advice! Such a hypocrite, or just a troll. Either way, very stupid.
Lol, but children will always act like children I guess.
But, seriously. Don't get a Dell, they're complete garbage and anyone who knows anything about computers will tell you the same.
How about I just buy whatever it is that you play on! 'Cuz clearly your the smartest, most cutting edge dude I've ever met. Or maybe I'll just do my own thing. Dell bought Alienware, they do not make them. Do your research next time.
P.S. I thought you were going to ignore me? My wife might get a little jealous when she sees how much you like me. -lol
You're obviously 15 years old, lol. I'm sure you think you look very clever right now, pretending to have a wife and kids, but lets face it, that's never going to happen.
And yes, I do know quite a bit about computers. Dell, and Alienware, are both garbage. Learn your shit, kiddo.
I shouldn't be replying to you, just a waste of time.
What happened to this? Seriously, you are no better than he is.
I know, I just can't help it. ._. He's just so tempting to pick at.
Are you attacking a man's family now? Wow. New low.
Look, you're a retard. We're BOTH retards now.
I promise to all posters here that from here fwd, I PROMISE I will not go back & forth w/Malashitty Troll or Michaeru from this day fwd. PROMISE.
Good, then I won't either! <3
Anyway, what I was saying about Dells has nothing do with my disposition towards you. They really aren't a good computer company, and I really would suggest going with the Asus, if you must go with a laptop.
RemiusTA
Both of you shut up. I can see if you were arguing opinions, but throwing personal insults over the internet is the most retarded shit ever.
No kiddin. Internet 101: Don't reply to trolls. Makes you look just as bad and derails the topic more. I thought people had this figured out by now.
So let's get back on topic: how do you think they'd do the 0-9 hotkey setup on console?
I know Champions Online pulled it off so you could hotkey via controller but it was fairly annoying. It just looks like PSO2 is doing the same UI as PSO:BB, makes me wonder.
I loved the Blue Burst keyboard/controller scheme. It made me feel like I had so much at my disposal at any instance. I don't think they could pull it off by simply doing a Back Button "quick menu" type idea instead of hot keys. More reason to just keep it PC-exclusive I guess. Nobody would wanna play w/o this feature. The UI looks sexier this way too.
It's not that they don't have great gaming rigs, it's just easier for us all to game on the 360 than the pc, personal choice and all that lol. What I wouldn't mind would be an OS built purely for gaming. Instead of windows.
Here's the problem. You don't have to spend 2k so it would be wise to stop implying you need to spend that kind of money to play games. people would stop attacking you if you would stop saying things that you know people will attack you over. its like you're looking for a fight.
you realize you're THE most successful troll on the forums right?
I was the one who first posted that laptop. in fact I showed it to you.
maybe you're not clean on how this works and I'm not hoing to bother spending a lot of time on this:
Alienware was never good.
Dell was even worse
When a company buys another one they don't just reap profits, they take over; changing the way things are done to fit their design, or strip the company to nothing and use its name.
Not good + very bad = bad.
If by troll you mean I show up in a lot of different forums in very close time periods and that I watch a lot of them and keep tabs on them then yes. And what is wrong with DELL? They make very decent computers.
By troll I mean you give out false information and try to act like you're not 14. I'll let you chew on that.
Dell makes bad computers. They use cheap parts and they make a lot of their parts proprietary to up their sales on service plans.
If Alienware is so bad, why do so many people rave about them elsewhere? They win awards (including CES 2010 best gaming laptop) not to mention the fact that the newest one M18x has the CrossfireX too which makes it appealing. I have two kids in our company who play on the M17's and I gotta say, I am impressed. To say Crysis looks like "garbage" on their lappers.....well, I just don't see it.
I like the Asus for the money, but I'm really worried about the service if something breaks down.
I will never understand why people wanna fight me over which PC I choose. I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone but others feel the need to force theirs on me. I'm NOT talking about Nilok, b/c I asked for his help in this (and prolly wil go w/his Asus when it's all said and done). It's my hard earned $, if I wanna waste it, that's my business. However, once word breaks out that it comes to consoles, if ever, I'm gonna just wait.
I've never had a problem with asus. Both Asus an MSI are good about their service. If you get a laptop even from alienware, chances are you're going to have to send it in. I'd read the fine print on those service plans if I were you.
Do you think the people writing those reviews are PC savvy? those guys still try to say that norton antivirus is not a resource hog. That software basically takes over your computer and cripples operations, but it get 4.5/5 stars on the same places that highly regard alienware. Do you think the people who write those reviews use that PC for anything beyond watching movies and such? They laptop you want even on the review you posted said the machine gets abnormally hot. That will shorten the computer's life significantly and damage the battery. Why is something like that even being made? why is it being sold for 2 grand? and why is it getting 4.5/5 stars? The reviewers are morons.
I hate to see people get a raw deal because they don't know any better. I'm trying to help you and I think the others have a similar mentality, but it's frustrating when you argue with them and say they don't know what they're talking about. I have to admit it's frustrating for me to try to give you information and to have you raise the same point several times like I haven't said anything. I can only imagine what that must look like for others who watch that happen.
Crysis is not a big deal to run. a few years back it was, but today it's just not an issue. and the Asus Ezo and I have both pointed you to has a better GPU than a lot of the alienwares out there. It is absolutely your money and you're free to spend it how you wish, but as a member of the community, no one here wants to see you spend it unwisely.
Crysis 2 is way more demanding than PSO2 though, right? If after the alpha, beta & final builds are complete, I still don't think this game will push anyone's rig. Which is really good for guys like me who want laptops.
Even more of a reason to not buy an overpriced alienware laptop, if it's just for PSO2, better go with a decently priced laptop with good specs than an overpriced laptop with a bit better specs.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend using Crossfire/SLI systems, there's more issues in these systems than in systems with 1 graphics card/1 GPU, especially when it comes to AMD/ATI, which are kinda famous for problematic drivers with crossfire.
One of the issues I hear alot about Crossfire/SLI systems is micro-stuttering, don't really know if it's too annoying though, since I haven't really dealt with any CF/SLI system so far. ^^;
I can vouch for the microstuttering using CF drivers, it is VERY annoying, in my opinion.
I fail to see any problems there not solves by USB.
His entire post about PCs being bad for gaming was fail. we're past that though.
An MMORPG on a console. doesnt make sense bro.
I might be a little confused as to what you're talking about... but are you implying that PSO wouldn't work on consoles, for some reason?
Because, this is the first ever PS title to be released as PC only, lol. It's primarily a console franchise.
This game is not a MMO. I know you like to feel that way but it's not. Plus Technology can handle these games now. Move out of the old age of thinking.
chibipocky15
xbox 360 ftw :3

I plan to play the JP Version upon release so I would be going PC.
This game is not a MMO. I know you like to feel that way but it's not.
...but it is. What is it that keeps making you people think this game isn't an MMO?
Ffuzzy-Logik
Hey look, it's that one argument people have been having for the past ten years.
There's nothing particularly massive about a game where you can only play with three to five other people at once. But hey, MMO is a completely subjective term (just like every genre is), so who gives a shit what you call it.
A game stuck in gameplay being 4-6 people in instances is NOT a MMO.
You just have big ass lobbies but no persistant world with hundreds of people killing shit in the field. It's not a MMO it's an Online RPG.
so it's a 'MO?
It's merely an online rpg. Not massively multiplayer.
This is what I was thinking. :0
MOG! *actually likes the sound of that >_>*
MOG is an proper term. But Don't call PSO2 a MMO. That sells it short. :P
LoveRappy
how does that differ than what you determine to be an "MMO" then? when i play WoW or EQ2, i dont play with a "massive" amount of other players, im in a group of 5-6 people in an instance. yes, games like WoW or EQ2 have "massive" worlds with tons of other players in them, but they function the same as a lobby in PSO. the real "meat" of an MMO is getting a small group of players and running an instance (or up to 10/25 ppl if you raid).
PSO is an MMO. its slightly different than MMOs like WoW, but its still an MMO.
anyways, to topic, i am glad they thought of the PC first. if this was a 360/PS3 only release i would fear it wouldnt have text chat because i dont know of ANY 360/PS3 online games that has text chat, its all voice chat based. i even know of an online PC game that had their console port stripped of text chat.
I don't see how 4 person parties qualify as "massive". I thought MMO's needed to have open-ended worlds too, which PSO never had. Maybe I'm wrong.
Not exactly. Games like LOCO or League of Legends are room based games yet are still considered MMOs. PSO is basically exactly that, just with a lobby for interacting which room based games lack.
The term massive typically refers to the large scale player base. While multiplayer is the Co - op add on. If you want to look at a game that is generally the same, think guild wars. An entirely instanced world besides outposts/towns.
All in all I don't really see why it's a big deal to argue over the fact of somethings genre. It's rather pointless.
Because as most people view it MMO = WoW
And most people don't want this compared to WoW. I wouldn't really say its pointless to want to be set apart from it, though since there are many subsets of RPG, maybe MMO should have its own subsets.
Yeah, honestly who gives a shit.
Well you were the one who started nit-picking, so....... I guess you do. :l
Yeah, cuz at the time the dude was hell bent on insisting that PSO is an MMO. I don't care anymore & it's not worth arguing over.
Not exactly. Games like LOCO or League of Legends are room based games yet are still considered MMOs.
What the hell?!
Those people are WRONG. WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Groupthink does NOT = right! A consensus is indicative of nothing other than like-mindedness, and in this case it is like-minded ignorance.
Let us keep this straight: An MMO MUST have some kind of open-world instance with a bare minimum of a few dozen players in it at once. If it does not, it is NOT massively multiplayer.
The closest thing the PSO/PSU series has ever had to this are lobbies, which are not at all the same thing. You go from lobbies to fields, you don't go from open worlds to instances like you do in actual MMOs. No actual gameplay occurs in lobbies; they're practically 3D chat-rooms. Hell, they ARE 3D chat-rooms. An actual open world allows you to actually play the game within it, not just chat.
Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. If a game is not MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER then drop the first M, gawdamnit! It is NOT right to do anything else!
Hey guys, did you know that all genre definitions are vague and open to interpretation? Because I did.
Arguments like this are not worth having. Might as well debate if a crayon is purple, violet, or lavender.
It tells you right on the side of the crayon though. *points to a crayon* says red on the side!!
...Actually this one looks more like brick to me.
...dammit.
No, it is obviously puce.
Are you blind?
take a look at the tiny flecks inside! it's clearly metallic lapis!
You're both wrong. It's not even a crayon, it's a marker.
Open minds, all I have left to say to the argument.

Oh lord here we go again
Why isn't Dreamcast an option?
Where is the option for "all of the above"? Or "depends on where I'm at at the time; living room or den?"
I had PSO for Dreamcast, PC, Xbox, and GameCube. I had PSU for PS2, PC, 360. I don't see why it should be any different for PSO2.
I'd play PSO2 on my Sega Genesis if i could
NO, WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON A SHADY WEBSITE LIKE EBAY TO GET A SEGA GENESIS.
CONSOLE IS MUCH EASIER.

I was going to use this one, but it was so unoriginal...
But then dreamcast was ironically less original...
And the hipster thing was so 2 months ago so... Yeah....
It hurt.
Destis
I would love it on PC. Just recently I moved to PC from consoles, and grew a passion for gaming on PC. And also just joined JP for PSU. Anyway, can't wait for PSO 2.
Not even voting. It's a dumb question since there are no plans at all to port to a console.
BIG OLAF
I'm honestly surprised that this thread is still open.
Will someone please close this thread?
No. It stays.
So will PSO2 take advantage of blast processing?
Is your PC badass enough to handle blast processing?
My PC will do what nintendon't.
My PC is so badass it supports Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment.

360 or PC.
I want this on my toaster. Pretty sure the specs on it can run the game on low settings.
HappierWorlds
Because that's where the game will start and obviously if you want ports, support the game in the first place.
man i had a sweet potato that could probably clock enough to run this game, but my cat got hold of it
It's risky to overclock a sweet potato anyway, once it gets too hot it's over if your CPU burns out, and it's expensive to replace 1234 LGA potato skin...
I just put in a 3rd core in my toaster. It can process 3 pieces of bread AT THE SAME TIME. I think it will buff med-high settings now.
Jonth
If I were a Cast... Could I upload PSO2 to my memory banks and play it in my head? That'd be awesome... No more getting bored at work.
Wow what the hell now I wanna be a cyborg, thanks.
pikachief
Whatever system my dad says! lol XD
He told me that he bought the xbox version even tho everyone i knew was getting the PC version because he said that there would be some hacking on PC and that xbox would have a bigger community or at least their community would last longer.
I wish to meet your dad and trade him my toaster for his 360.
You could just get away with the brain modifications for the topic at hand, but who the heck would pass up that superhuman strength?
If you were a Cast.... wouldn't you be fighting the monsters for real ?! ((((゜д゜; ))))
hobowitha50cal
Toasters are infamous for attracting hackers so he probably won't trade.
Oh that is just ridiculous! Figures... Some joker has to come around and throw some off the wall fantasy into the equation...
Well, I have heard that the newest service pack for Bread Box OS has made great strides in improving system stability and security.
At least it's not attracting forks. That would be terrible.
That's how they hack though, last I checked.
I just added a new Core to my toaster. It's pumping a quad now.
Plus I installed Norton's anti-Forking software on this.

Everyone forgets about the Wii U is probably just as capable to play PSO2 as well and with its tablet- like controller, customizing, on screen menu and chat would be right there far better than ps3 and 360.

Just stop it...
They already said consoles were going to get their own new phantasy star. :0
If they put PSO2 on consoles anyway though, then... ehn.
Not exactly another system but something very capable of playing PSO2 correctly.
A gaming tablet with a built-in dual analog gamepad by Razer.

Two shoulder buttons like you would see on a PS3 or 360 controller.

It is to note that there are some relations between the two companies as we saw SEGA advertize the Razer NAGA mouse as the PSO2 mouse. Official connections between this gaming tablet and PSO2 sounds like it would make sense in the future.
Here is the NAGA. Looks like it would be perfect for PSO2.

It's PC only, get it through your skulls.
Also that mouse looks like some deranged sextoy sitting upright on the stand like that.
That has a number pad...1-12 instead of 1-9 and a 0...?
How do you input 0???
The tablet is made to play PC games. The mouse... they have a better looking version which happens to be Star Wars themed. I suppose you could say it actually has a PSO2 look to it as well.

i would play xbox360, just for the fact my irl friends play xbox and there not pc gamers llike me, and they have clapped out laptops for college :s which i hhighly doubt will play pso2 considering they cant play minecraft. haha

Be careful: There is no way to cancel a running backup from the client.
If you stop or kill an application that started a backup of Firebird database, the backup will keep running on the server and consume valuable system resources. The only way is to kill the Firebird process on the server.
On Windows, you need to use some utility to list the open files and find the process ID. As backup is read-only operation, you can safely stop that process.
If you run SuperServer, the only way is to restart the entire Firebird server. One more + for using Classic over Super Server.

No Truckers? Let's Try Ships
By Colin Grabow
This article appeared in the National Review (Online) on July 26, 2018.
Although the economy continues to ride high, there is growing concern that a dearth of truckers could soon drive it into a ditch. Anecdotes suggest an increasingly frantic scramble for drivers, with $70,000 salaries said to be insufficient to lure new drivers to the field. The trucking industry faces a shortage of 63,000 open positions this year — a number that is only expected to increase — and companies are already said to be turning down loads due to a lack of available trucks.
Some members of Congress have responded by introducing a bill that would allow drivers as young as 18 to transport goods outside the state they're licensed in, down from the current age of 21. While a welcome step, more‐expansive thinking is needed. Additional drivers are one solution, but there is another that should be considered: more ships. Rather than tinkering at the policy margins, Congress should pursue measures that would transfer freight from the nation's roads onto its waterways.
Repealing the Jones Act would be a good start.
Repeal the Jones Act. It escalates the cost of shipping goods on America's waterways.
Passed in 1920, this law mandates that ships transporting cargo between two points in the United States be domestically flagged, owned, crewed, and built. Intended to bolster the U.S. maritime sector, the Jones Act has instead been a case study in the failures of protectionism. Absent foreign competition, U.S. shipbuilders produce vessels whose price is as much as eight times higher than those built abroad. This disincentive to the purchase of new vessels means we have fewer ships and a fleet that is old and inefficient.
High costs have inevitably followed and, along with them, increased demand for transportation alternatives such as trucking and rail.
The proof is in the numbers. From 1960 to 2014, the amount of freight placed on railroads increased by 48 percent while intercity trucks saw their loads grow by an impressive 217 percent. In sharp contrast, the amount of cargo carried by ships sailing around the coasts during this period decreased by 44 percent. And Great Lakes shipping declined by 43 percent.
Even as Americans have shunned ships for domestic use, however, they appear perfectly willing to employ them to conduct trade with Canada and Mexico. Freed from the Jones Act's restrictions, coastal ships linking the United States with Canada and Mexico have seen their freight tonnage more than double during the same time period.
Given the decline of domestic shipping, Americans are now left with a transportation system that is hugely dependent on trucks — and on the drivers who operate them. According to the Bureau of Transportation, in 2015, trucks in the United States were responsible for transporting 63.8 percent of total freight shipments. For 2016, the American Trucking Associations places the total even higher, at 71 percent.
In a more rational system, much of the goods carried by truck would travel aboard ships plying the country's coastal waters. In Europe, for example, 40 percent of domestic freight goes by sea. In the United States the figure is a mere 13 percent. While some of this can perhaps be explained by geographic and other factors, the enormous gulf between the two figures suggests that the Jones Act is a likely culprit.
Beyond helping to solve the country's driver shortage, the removal of trucks from the highways would have numerous other benefits. Although a mere 4 percent of highway vehicles, trucks are thought to cause 20 percent of traffic, which in turn costs Americans many billions of dollars in lost productivity, wasted gas, and increased pollution. Trucks are also responsible for a disproportionate amount of highway maintenance, with a single 80,000-pound tractor‐trailer said to cause as much damage to pavement as 9,600 cars. Representing 10 percent of vehicle miles traveled, trucks cause over 75 percent of the Federal Highway Administration's pavement‐maintenance costs.
Crumbling roads, meanwhile, are not only costly to repair — they are estimated to produce, annually, $109 billion in vehicle damage borne by the nation's drivers. We need a more efficient and less costly transportation system. To help alleviate the shortage of truckers, let's start by freeing ourselves of the Jones Act and taking advantage of our country's underutilized coastal waterways.

Clever Tools Reap Rewards for 12 Young Inventors
Winners and Finalists of 2000 Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program In Chicago; Bob Vila to Present Top Awards of $10,000 Bonds at Museum of Science and Industry, Fri., Sept. 22
Twelve children have developed out-of- the-ordinary tools to do everyday tasks. They have created inventions that help people slice onions without crying; make the bed with the turn of a crank; lift and move heavy objects; hitch tractor equipment; recycle, plant, compost and do yard clean-up chores; and assist individuals with limited use of one hand.
Selected from nearly 3,000 second-through-eighth graders nationwide, the 12 students have been named national finalists in the 2000 Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program. Each has earned a $5,000 U.S. savings bond and a trip to Chicago for the national awards celebration to be held in the west pavilion of the Museum of Science and Industry on Fri., Sept. 22.
From 11 a.m. to 12 noon on Sept. 22, the students will demonstrate their tools at an Inventors Showcase. At 12 noon, Arthur Eisenkraft, president of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), will begin the awards presentation. Bob Vila, spokesperson for the Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program, will honor the twelve students and then will present the two national winners, one in the second-through-fifth-grade category and the other in the sixth-through-eighth-grade category. Each of the national winners will receive an additional $5,000 savings bond.
Lindsey Clement, who created "The Gumball Machine" to pick up sweetgum tree balls without raking or bending over, has been selected the national winner in the second-through-fifth-grade category. She submitted her idea when she was a fifth grader at Pine Tree Middle School in Longview, Texas.
Michael Isaacs, who invented the "Push-Me Pull-Me Wheelbarrow" to make a regular wheelbarrow more mobile, stable and easy to use, has been named national winner in the sixth-through-eighth-grade category. He was a sixth grader at Hyde Park Middle School in Las Vegas, Nev. when he submitted his idea.
Students being honored as national finalists in the second-through-fifth- grade category include:
-- Jordan Callender, Parkview Baptist School, Baton Rouge, La. - "The
Strawberry Wheel"
-- Andrew Johannes, Webber Elementary School, Lake Orion, Mich. - "The
Milk Jug Masher"
-- Rachel Kaminsky, Concord Road Elementary School, Ardsley, N.Y. - "Dry
Eyes Onion Slicer"
-- Zachary Tuthill, Mannington Township School, Salem, N.J. - "The
Farmer's Helper"
-- Timothy Wiese, Kalamazoo School, Lindsay, Neb. - "Multi Lifter"
Students being honored as national finalists in the sixth-through-eighth- grade category include:
-- Kim Brown, Virginia Lake Elementary School, Palatine, Ill. -
"Bedmaker"
-- Kathryn Close, Glenridge Middle School, Winter Park, Fla. - "The Back
Saver"
-- Brendan Feifer, Unqua Elementary School, Massapequa, N.Y. - "The One
Hand TRI Tool"
-- Mindy Himler, Marysville Middle School, Marysville, Ohio - "Window
Reacher"
-- Marc Shapiro, Bernardsville Middle School, Bernardsville, N.J. - "The
Anti-Garbo Composter"
"The Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program helps children learn that science is happening every day -- everywhere around them," said Arthur Eisenkraft. "Not only does this program invite them to participate in scientific exploration, but it also encourages their parents and teachers to mentor them throughout the process."
"Our award-winning Young Inventors and all of the children who participated in our program have learned important problem-solving skills -- and they've experienced how satisfying it is to build something that's new or better than before," said Bob Vila. The Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program is designed to teach students the scientific principles of how tools operate, introduce them to working with hand tools, encourage them to think creatively about the world around them and enable them to develop practical solutions to everyday problems.

John Hudson (born January 25, 1962) is a Canadian theatre producer and director, and also a politician living in Edmonton, Alberta. He ran to represent the constituency of Edmonton-McClung for the Alberta Party in the 2012 Alberta general election and the 2015 Alberta general election.

Early life and education

Hudson was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick to Mary Hudson (Urquhart) and Dr. Aubrey Hudson. The family moved from Canada's east coast in 1965 when John was three years old and settled in Calgary, Alberta. John grew up with his parents, grandmother and three sisters.  His mother was a stockbroker, and his father was a general pathologist who taught at the University of Calgary and was on staff at the Grace and General Hospitals.

Hudson attended Western Canada High School in Calgary, graduating in 1979. His football team won the City Championship in 1976. He also played rugby and joined the wrestling team. He studied at Augustana University in Camrose in 1980.  He won a gold medal in 1984 at The Alberta College Athletic Conference wrestling championships.  He was voted student union President in 1981/82, and performed in many university theatre productions. Hudson transferred to The University of Alberta in 1982 where he received a B. A. degree in English and Drama by 1984. In 1985 he was accepted into the acting program at The University of Alberta, graduating in 1988 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (with distinction).

Professional life

After graduation Hudson and classmate Shaun Johnston founded Shadow Theatre in Edmonton in 1989. The theatre company produces contemporary theatre from Canada and around the world, often with Hudson as director. The company produces a four-show season, and has 600 subscribers. Hudson and the Shadow Theatre productions have been nominated for over 90 Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Theatre Awards in Edmonton, winning in many categories.

In 1992 Hudson opened. The Videodrome, a niche-market video store. The store was voted "Edmonton's Best Video Store" nine times in fifteen years. It closed in 2012.

In 1996 Hudson was a member of the founding group of artists who formed The Varscona Theatre Alliance,  an arts consortium which manages The Varscona Theatre. He was the first President of the board and was Executive Director until 2019. He was the driving force behind the recent refurbishment of the building which was completed in 2016. The Varscona hosts 300 performances each year, with a total attendance of about 25,000 people.

Hudson has been on the board of the Old Strathcona Business Association, was the President of the Edmonton Arts Council 2011/12. He became a member of The Alberta Party in 2010, and in 2012 ran for election to the Alberta Provincial Parliament, representing the Alberta Party, but did not win.

Mr. Hudson has over 100 directing credits to his name including the world premieres of new plays and Canadian premieres of outstanding contemporary works. He is also an actor and has been in over 30 productions. In 2016 Mr. Hudson was inducted into the City of Edmonton's Cultural Hall of Fame.

Personal life

Mr. Hudson lives in west Edmonton, with his wife Sandy, a speech language pathologist, and their two daughters Charlotte and Bella.

BANGKOK — Minutes before stepping up on a Bangkok stage last night, a member of an Irish boy band was sent to be treated at a hospital.
Boyzone's farewell tour took place Thursday in a Bangkok hall with only three members instead of four, as Keith Duffy was admitted to hospital shortly before the concert.
"Our brother will be back on his feet as soon as possible and we thank you for all your wonderful support in the meantime," Boyzone wrote.
It was not immediately known what caused the 44-year-old singer's illness.
Boyzone's gig took place Thursday night at ThunderDome, Muang Thong Thani, with the band's other three members – Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch. After Thailand, the band will be touring in Australia and New Zealand before heading to the United Arab Emirates, Belgium and the United Kingdom.

Historic Upton Sinclair house up for sale

MONROVIA – The historic house where muckraking socialist and would-be California governor Upton Sinclair wrote some of his most famous works is on the market for $1.5 million.
The two-story, 2,380-square-foot Spanish Colonial Revival at 464 N. Myrtle Ave. was Sinclair's home from 1942 to 1965, and to prove it there's a rare National Historic Landmark plaque beside the imposing front door.
"He loved this house," said Cecilia Farnum, the listing agent. "He often spoke and wrote of it."
Sinclair once said the house provided a "perfect peace to write in … a garden path to walk up and down while I planned the next paragraph."
That could have been because at one point, according to city historian Steve Baker, Sinclair disconnected the front doorbell.
"He was a very private person," Baker said.
Still, he's seen a film from about 1965 showing Sinclair being interviewed at the house, walking around town and doing "run of the mill errands."
But the social activist author, Baker said, didn't take part in Monrovia's civic life, except to use the public library for research.
"He struck up a relationship with the librarian" Kate Ainsworth, he said. "In their politics they were diametrically opposed, but they managed to cultivate a relationship based on mutual respect."
He found peace at the Myrtle Avenue house, in the writing studio he'd converted from a garage. There, he wrote almost all his later works – including "Dragon's Teeth," his 1943 Pulitzer Prize-winning book about Hitler's rise to power in Germany and the then-popular "Lanny Budd" series.
The studio is now a guest house. But "The Vault," a fireproof concrete bunker Sinclair built to house all his papers, manuscripts and correspondence with the era's political and literary elite, has stayed the same.
"He kept every piece of paper that ever came his way – they removed tons when they took away the archive," Baker said.
Sinclair, 1878-1968, is perhaps best known for "The Jungle." This 1906 expose of the conditions endured by workers in Chicago's meat-processing industry led to reform of the Pure Foods and Drugs and Meat Packing acts. The 2007 movie "There Will Be Blood," was based on his 1927 novel "Oil!" set in the California oil industry.
Much of the Sinclair house, which last sold to Mitchell and Kathleen Lardner for about $725,000 in 2002, retains the original architectural features and fixtures, Farnum said.
"It's a little castle-like, but when you come in it's warm and light – there are zillions of french doors," she said.
The ball-and-ribbon molding, cast-stone fireplace, Batchelder tiles and several chandeliers are all original to the house, which was built in 1923 for hotel magnate Louis Vollmer. There's still a "V" in the bronze grillwork on the front door.
The house underwent a complete award-winning restoration after being damaged and threatened with demolition by the then-owners after the 1991 Sierra Madre earthquake, Baker said.
"But the city invoked a law put in place after the Loma Prieta earthquake specifically to slow down or halt demolition of architecturally significant buildings," Baker said.
Now the three-bedroom house is again looking for new owners, someone who will appreciate the house itself and its association with one of the country's most eminent writers and activists, Baker said.
"It takes someone with a sense of history," he said, "a sense of being in a structure with very important associations."

Iowa Farmer-Soldiers Fight Rabies, Save Dogs
Iowa ADT helps Nuristan PRT fight deadly rabies outbreak
by Capt. Peter Shinn
FORWARD OPERATING BASE FENTY, Afghanistan - The Nuristan Provincial Reconstruction Team is fighting an outbreak of rabies in the province's Titin Valley that has claimed the lives of four Afghan citizens, but they are not going at it alone.
The PRT is getting help from the Iowa National Guard's 734th Agri-Business Development Team, which provided 300 doses of rabies vaccine. The vaccine will be used to innoculate dogs in the area and will help avoid the slaughter of Titon Valley's canines.
"We were going to have to go to the villages in the valley, and if we saw any suspicious animals, we were basically going to have to put them down," said U.S. Navy Lt. Kyle N. Burditt, a physician's assistant with the PRT from Dodge City, Kan. "We were going to end up killing a lot of animals that wouldn't have to die if we didn't have this vaccine."
U.S. Army Maj. Loren Adams from New Liberty, Iowa, is the 734th ADT's veterinary officer. One of his areas of expertise is veterinary public health, and he provided technical advice to the Nuristan PRT, which does not have a veterinarian on staff. According to Adams, vaccinating animal populations is the only effective way to bring a rabies outbreak like the one in Nuristan's Titon Valley under control.
"It's really important that we vaccinate the dogs," Adams said. "You can't kill your way out of a rabies problem. There's just no way to kill them all, so vaccinating the animals is really the way to go."
Burditt expressed gratitude for the ADT's help. He also emphasized his eagerness to put the vaccine to work immediately.
"We are trying to push out the vaccine to the local villages as soon as we can so we can quell those outbreaks and stop any more people from dying of rabies in our area," Burditt said.
For Adams, providing the rabies vaccine to the PRT had no downside. However, he did have one regret.
"We only wish that we could be there helping them," Adams said.

SJ Hits 11K in Heartbreaking London Loss
Like many of their games this season, the Atlanta Falcons got off to a promising start in Sunday afternoon's matchup with the Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
The Falcons used a balanced offense and stout play from their defense to build a quick 14-0 lead. Then, Atlanta made a little history when on a five-yard run to the goal line, Steven Jackson became just the 19th running back in NFL history to reach 11,000 career rushing yards. Two plays later, SJ39 hurdled into the end zone to give the Birds a 21-0 lead just before halftime.
It appeared in that moment that Steven and his teammates were well on their way to celebrating a much-needed victory and a momentous achievement in the career of No. 39. However, the Detroit Lions were bent on spoiling the party.
In the second half, Detroit capitalized on various Atlanta miscues and made some outstanding plays of their own to chip away at the Falcons lead, then sunk the Falcons 22-21 on a last-second field goal. Afterward, SJax—who finished with 60 yards on 18 carries—lamented the loss and Atlanta's continued inability to put tough games away and finish off wins.
"What's frustrating is that the guys go out every week and they give their all, practice really efficient, show up to work with a purpose and for whatever reason on Sunday, we're not putting four quarters of good football together," he said.
Though he noted frustration with the lack of answers as to why the Falcons have not been able to execute in those situations, he remained steadfast in his belief in the work he and his teammates put in.
"It's not the lack of effort; it's not the lack of care," he said. "This team, this locker room, they go out each and every Sunday expecting to win and that's what you want to see. I can't answer why things don't work out the way it should, but as one of the leaders in the locker room, I can tell you guys are working hard."
That hard work showed on the field early Sunday, as the Atlanta offense put together three long scoring drives to take a huge halftime lead.
On their first drive of the day, the Falcons used a balanced attack to mount a 10-play, 80-yard drive. SJ received his first opportunity of the game on the second play for scrimmage and made the most of it with a seven-yard run to the right side. His number was called again as Atlanta closed in on midfield and his-back-to-back runs totaled eight yards pushing the Falcons across the 50. After No. 39 helped power the team into Lions territory, he got a breather and Atlanta turned to rookie Devonta Freeman, who caught a swing pass from quarterback Matt Ryan and took it seven yards to pay dirt, which gave ATL an early 7-0 lead.
Following a defensive stop and a solid punt return from Devin Hester, the Falcons offense went right back to work.
SJ39 led the way with a pair of solid first-down carries, and Ryan hooked up with Julio Jones and Harry Douglas for chain-moving receptions. Then the Falcons got a little help from the Lions, as a pass interference call gave them the ball 1st-and-goal at the one-yard line. From there, Ryan used play action with Steven as a decoy to set up a pass to tight end Bear Pascoe in the back of end zone to put Atlanta out in front 14-0.
After another stop by the Falcons defense, the offense went three-and-out for the first time on the opening drive of the second quarter. However the defense held strong and forced another punt that gave Atlanta another opportunity another chance to establish control of the contest.
The ensuing Falcons drive began at their own 11 and with SJax as a decoy and help from two huge Detroit penalties, Ryan and the passing game drove Atlanta into the red zone, where No. 39 took over. On 1st-and-10 from the 17, SJ gained eight yards on a bruising run off left tackle to the nine-yard-line. On the next play, he picked up the first down by pounding the rock up the middle to the six.
Then, on 1st-and-goal from the six, the Atlanta offensive line paved another lane and Steven plowed through it for five yards, running through two Detroit defenders before being stopped by one at the goal line. SJ reached over the goal line with the ball as he fell backwards but was ruled to be down before the ball broke the plane. Though the run was just short of a touchdown, on it, SJ eclipsed 11,000 career rushing yards, making him the 19th running back in NFL history to do so.
One play later, Atlanta went back to their big back, and SJ39 walked into the end zone for six to give his squad a three-touchdown lead.
The Lions attempted to answer SJ's score at the end of the half and drove deep into ATL territory, but corner Robert Alford halted that advance, intercepting Matt Stafford to signal the end of a fantastic half for the Falcons and the fans representing them in the UK. After the game, SJ applauded the fans for their activity during the game.
"The UK crowd is very knowledgeable of the game," Steven said of the atmosphere at Wembley Stadium. "They were into it. You can tell, over the years, from 2007 to now, they understand third down, punts and when to make noise for the home team. So, the knowledge base of the UK has grown tremendously and I think that happens, because now you have more and more teams coming and showing the game and playing it the right way, where you have the stars playing and the interest in the game is there for four quarters."
However, as great as the first half was for the Falcons and their fans in the UK and at home, the second half was the quite the opposite.
Detroit opened the second half with a 15-play, 76-yard drive that ended in a short Matt Prater field goal to get Detroit on the board. After a three-and-out by the Atlanta offense, the Lions went right back to work, but it appeared the Falcons defense would send them back to the sidelines in short order when Detroit faced a 3rd-and-25 in their own territory. However, Lions receiver Golden Tate got behind the Atlanta defense and Stafford found him for a 59-yard touchdown to make it 21-10
The Falcons offense was suddenly faced with the challenge of quelling Detroit's momentum, which led to another huge play in the game. On 1st-and-10 for Atlanta near midfield the Lions got serious pressure in Ryan's face, flushing him out of the pocket. As he scrambled for options, Ryan through across his body where he though he had Julio Jones. However, waiting on the other side of the field was not Jones but Lions cornerback Cassius Vaughn, who intercepted the pass and took it all the way back to the Atlanta seven-yard line.
The Falcons answered with an impressive goal line stand, which forced another short field goal from Prater. But less than a minute into the fourth quarter, the momentum had swung and Atlanta's lead was down from 21 to a tenuous 8.
The lead got even smaller on Detroit's next drive, a 13-play, 69-yard trip. Following another three and out from the Falcons offense, the Lions took over at their own 31, but crossed midfield in just four plays against a gassed Atlanta defense. Once across the 50, the Lions were able to continue moving the ball by keeping up two key third downs. The second of those got Detroit into the red zone and three plays later Stafford found Theo Riddick in the end zone for six, putting the Lions a two-point conversion away from the tie.
The Atlanta D came through with another key stop on the conversion attempt as tight coverage forced a pass from Stafford to Tate to fall incomplete.
The Falcons took over with 3:56 remaining and a two-point lead, with a chance to put the game on ice. They started to do that behind No. 39, who rumbled for seven yards on the first play of the drive to kill some clock. SJ was stopped for a two-yard loss on the next play, which was followed by a Detroit timeout ahead of a 3rd-and-5. But the Falcons converted on a 13-yard pass from Ryan to Harry Douglas, and the fresh set of downs allowed them to kill more clock.
Steven was stopped for no gain on the next play, which was followed by another timeout. Ryan again answered with a pass, connecting with Julio Jones for 22 yards into Detroit territory, taking the game to the two-minute warning. After a one-yard gain by Devonta Freeman, the Lions used their final timeout. SJ got the next carry with a chance to wind the clock down to about 1:15 no matter what he did, but on his run up the middle, the Falcons were called for holding which stopped the clock. It also forced the Falcons to throw on 3rd-and-9 and Jones dropped a screen pass, which also stopped the clock.
A Matt Bosher punt pinned the Lions on their own seven-yard line, but the 1:38 remaining on the clock was the the Falcons' detriment and allowed Stafford to guide his team into field goal range. Prater lined up for the game-winning kick from 43 yards out with four seconds left and booted it wide right, appearing to give the Falcons the win.
However, the play clock had expired before the kick and a delay of game penalty moved the Lions back five yards, but since it was a dead ball penalty, there was no 10-second runoff, which gave Prater another chance. On try No. 2 from 48 yards away, Prater snuck his kick inside the left upright and stole the victory out of Atlanta's hands as time expired.
"This is probably as tough a loss to take as any I've been a part of," Ryan said. "I really feel like we had a lot of different chances to win that ball game and consistently didn't make plays when we needed to."
The loss dropped the Falcons to 2-6 for the season, but because the NFC South leading Carolina Panthers also lost on Sunday, dropping them to 3-4-1 on the season, the division remains wide open. Atlanta will head into their bye week with that knowledge, but they're also aware that no team has made the playoffs after a 2-6 start.
"We've got to be the first one to do it. I think that's got to be the mindset that we have to have," Ryan said. "We've got to find a way to get better over the course of the bye week and I think everybody needs to look in the mirror and self‑critique and really ‑‑ when we get back to work, have a great mindset and a great sense of focus."
Atlanta's bye week comes at the exact halfway point of their season, allowing the Falcons a chance to clear their heads and get refocused for the second half of the regular season.
When they come off the bye week, Atlanta will be traveling down to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers.
The trip to Tampa is coming at the right time for the Falcons, whose last win was a 56-14 drubbing of the Bucs at the Georgia Dome in Week 3. SJax tallied 54 rushing yards and a touchdown in that victory.
The Falcons will look to replicate that performance at 1 p.m. ET, Sunday Nov. 9. The game will be broadcast on FOX.

On the hardware side to aid integrating a DipCortex into your own hardware we have also added an Eagle library with the pinout of the DipCortex.
The not so good news is about actually getting the boards in to your hands. Our assembly house has let us down, they in turn were let down by their Chinese PCB supplier who has delayed the PCB delivery. It then got delayed even further due to the Chinese week-long national holiday. I have expressed my disappointment to them and they are working as hard as they can to get us the boards we are so desperate for. So I must apologise to the people who have pre-ordered for the long wait, which has been far longer than I had originally planned, I really do hate to let you all down.
When they do arrive we have test software and a test rig to automatically test every external pin and to exercise the WiFi module, so if everything goes to plan they should quickly be turned around and I can start the shipping process.
On that note, although we have had many pre-orders, we have enough in the first batch to cover them. We shall send out emails in date order allowing those of you that have pre-ordered to secure the quantity you have pre-ordered. If you would like more than that you will be given the chance once all of the pre-orders have been fulfilled, we can withhold shipment if you like so that the orders can be combined.

Take a drive through neighborhoods across the U.S. and Canada and you'll find the most beautiful homes have one thing in common – brick. These homeowners have discovered that a brick home is economical to own as well as being beautiful. And Hebron Brick is the premier choice for unsurpassed color selection and quality.
We invite you to browse our photo gallery to find the perfect brick for your home. When you've decided on your brick selection, visit your local Hebron Brick dealer to see it in person and confirm your choice.
Genuine clay brick is made from clay and shale – some of the most abundant, natural materials on earth – and then fired through a kiln at up to 2000 degrees. The reason brick turns into such a durable material is that the clay/shale unit actually goes through a vitrification process in the kiln which enables the clay particles to fuse together.
Many people may confuse clay brick with "brick" made from other materials. For example, concrete units rely on a cement paste to bond the materials together. Moreover, concrete units are inherently a grayish color, which means that users must inject color pigments before the setting process and use color sealant afterwards to create a color effect. On the other hand, clay brick has thousands of color and shade options that will not fade. Contrary to some perceptions, clay brick is actually significantly stronger than concrete brick as well. Another brick-like material, made from fly ash, claims to meet the same performance standards as clay brick. Since fly ash has no ASTM standards of its own, don't make the mistake of assuming that brick-resembling products automatically perform as well as genuine clay brick.
What began as a building essential in the Near East and India more than 5,000 years ago, wound its way through the ancient Egyptians, the Indus Valley civilization and the Romans and today has amazingly become the all-American building product throughout our country's history. Just look at the structures and roadways in your community. Chancesare, at least some of them are built with brick.
At the same time, bricks today are subject to much more stringent manufacturing processes than used in the past, which results in a more consistently performing end-product. While it is still possible to purchase hand-made brick, it is also possible to buy the type of architectural brick that meets extremely strict product specifications.
The story of the Three Little Pigs is just as true today as it was when it was first told to children long ago. Research confirms that genuine clay brick provides superior shelter in three major categories.
Fire Protection. Since the primary ingredient in brick is clay which is fired to around 2000 F, it is a non-combustible material. As such, it is an excellent cladding choice to resist or confine fires. In fact, both the National Institute of Standards and Technology and BIA conducted separate fire tests that conclusively demonstrate that nothing outperforms good old-fashioned brick in a one hour fire test and that today's "advanced" materials, such as vinyl, are engulfed by flames within minutes. See for yourself.
High wind protection. A Shelter from the Storm study conducted in September 2004 shows that homes built with brick offer dramatically more protection from wind-blown debris than homes built with vinyl or fiber-cement siding. Conducted at the Wind Science and Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University, the study demonstrated that a medium-sized wind-blown object, such as a 7.5-foot long 2 x 4, would penetrate homes built with vinyl or fiber-cement siding at a speed of 25 mph. By comparison, the same object would need to travel at a speed exceeding 80 mph in order to penetrate the wall of a brick home. The tests found that homes made with brick exceed the 34 mph impact resistance requirement for high velocity hurricane zones in the Florida building code. Brick also exceeds Florida's impact resistance requirements for essential facilities in hurricane areas. Brick is such a strong and durable building material that your insurance companies may even offer you a discount on your home insurance costs.
Superior moisture control. According to a nationally – renowned, independent building products research laboratory, brick veneer wall assemblies control moisture better than wall systems clad with other exterior materials. Therefore, brick veneer wall systems help minimize mold growth, wood rot and infestation by insects, and corrosion of fasteners embedded in wood better than other wall assemblies.

Q: How to grant permissions for a member of two groups that have different permissions in windows? I have a windows 2008 server with file server role. Multiple shared folders are there, one for each group, so that each group has access to its own folder, but is denied access to other shared folders.
How do I go about granting access to users who belong to more than one group to all their respective folders ?
For example, if Group 1 has only access to Folder 1 and Group 2 has only access to Folder 2, how do a grant access to both Folder 1 and Folder 2 to a user that belongs to Group 1 and Group 2 ?
I haven't succeded so far and I've read that :

[...] if a user is a member of a group where full
  control is provided over a folder, and also a member of a second group
  where full control is specifically denied, the user will be denied
  full control regardless of the fact that it was granted in the first
  group.

(from TechTopia)

A: BlueCompute is right, but here is why:
'Deny' will usurp any 'grant' permissions, that is the point of deny permissions. By default a users dosn't have access to a resource it hasn't been granted access to. But if you grant it wide access and want to pin hole a resource and deny access, you use deny.

Ryan Byrne/INPHO Nevin after a win over Jack Heath in 2014.
# Comeback
Nevin set for low-key comeback but has sight set on bigger things
The Mullingar man remains undefeated as a professional.
JOHN JOE NEVIN hopes to revive his ambitions of professional glory, starting with a low-key comeback bout in England later this month.
Olympic silver medallist Nevin will make his return to the ring for the first time in 13 months on Friday 29 September on a small-hall show in Tolworth, south-west London, with an opponent yet to be confirmed for his six-round lightweight bout.
While the Mullingar native is undefeated as a professional, carrying an 8-0 record, his paid career has been beset by misfortune and injury since he switched over from the amateur ranks three-and-a-half years ago.
Nevin suffered two broken legs in an attack in April 2014 just one month after making his debut and while he made an impressive recovery to fight again later that year, his progress has been stop-start ever since.
However, the London 2012 silver medallist hopes to finally gain some momentum once he makes his ring return later this month.
"I'm flying," said Nevin, who plans to campaign as a featherweight in the long-term, on his planned return.
I've only done six-rounders so far, but after this fight I want to move up a level, I want to move quick now. I'm 28 years of age and I know I have the ability to be a world champion."
The two-time amateur world medallist has not fought since a points victory over American journeyman Jesus Lule in Philadelphia in August, 2016.
His ring return had been planned for last March, but the bout was cancelled due to a rib injury.
"Once I get this fight under my belt, I'll look at getting a few more soon," said Nevin "The problem is, you can't avoid injuries. When you jump in the swimming pool, you get wet. But hopefully the injuries are at an end now.
I was meant to be fighting in March and I picked up rib injury. I was sparring Jason Sosa, who was a world champion, and we had two or three goo days of sparring, but just on the last day – I shouldn't have even been sparring that day – but I was caught on the last day and fractured a rib."
Nevin's win over Lule marked his only bout since November 2015 and the former European amateur champion is keen to finally get his world professional title ambitions back on track.
"If I get a bit of momentum going, it could turn into anything. I can turn anyone over on my day, so once I get a bit of momentum going and get working on 12 rounds I can be in with the best of them," added the decorated Westmeath man, who was the first Irish male amateur to claim a hat-trick of major medals at Olympic, world and European championships.
The 28-year-old has been training under his old amateur coach Brian McKeown and plans on linking up with veteran London trainer Jim McDonnell in the English capital to finalise preparations for his comeback fight.
