News on the internet says the latest edition of Famitsu magazine as a preview of a new game for Sony's PSP handheld called "Phantasy Star Portable." Despite the rather misleading name, it's based on Phantasy Star Universe rather than the classic games. Apparently it's developed by a third party (or would it be fourth party?) company called Alfa System.

Any thoughts about this game? It's only going to have four player multiplayer, without an online mode. It seems like that probably won't go over well, even with PSU fans.

Here's the official site. It has a few screenshots, but little else.

I've never heard of Alfa System. What else have they done?

A lack of online mode will probably doom this to a footnote in PS history. The name is kind of cute. It abbreviates to PSP, for both the game and the system.

Alfa? Alfo, Algo? XDDD Riight. lol PSP for PSP XD That sounds like something I would do.

You represent... apathy.You don't really show any emotion. You can be considered cruel and cold, but you just don't really care about anything. This is just the way you are... you're quite a challenge to get close to, and others may perceive you as boring.
Zeus was the Greek excuse for having no logical explination for lightning. Hades was for the death that baffled them. Posiedon tore apart at their shores. So Athena must have explained the people who didn't believe in the gods.

I haven't heard of Alfa before either. I've read that they handled some other PSP games, but I don't know which ones.

Interesting. I just saw this as well. I think if they make it an online game that it will be popular, even if it sucks. Just like Monster Hunter is popular, but it sucks. I don't know why they won't just make a sequel to the regular PS series.
