Here is a three hour long video of my first time on V2 for the Dreamcast (IGN PSO Board ship 16:9)

[tickeroo]

This was taped on October 5, 2001. I have more info in the description of the video. There is more discussion/lead-up here: http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/a...e-and-share-my-old-vhs-pso-footage.453060591/

Features many people from the boards back then. Not sure if anyone here cares or remembers any of these people, but here it is! Sorry for the shitty quality.

 

[roawtman]

That guy Roawtman is cool

Also assy is totally not smart

 

[blazeddc]

(Y)

Ubah.

 

[Quatre47]

Awesome stuff, you know, telling people to shut up isn't nice tho...yea, i saw that, telling your team mate in a game to shut up

 

[tickeroo]

They weren't teammates, they were friends. It's okay. ♥

 

[tickeroo]

Look, it's Control Tower on the Gamecube. Also, I am hitting 200.

 

[Quatre47]

loltower.

That place was such a pain.
Still, many good times were had there, especially in cmode, such a bitch of a last level..

Towers..the one place I'd actually be willing to carry a Frozen Shooter.

I should also note, dude, the thing getting you killed so much, lack of dodge, join us on PSO2, you can dodge now!

*edit* ..I was excited to see that picture get taken..way to end it early, now I'll never know about those eggs. >.>

:l

 

[tickeroo]

As you can probably guess, it goes on for a loooooooooong time after this (and very long before as well). I had to cut it off at some point. There was no conclusive kind of, like, okay, pic is done or anything--just more bullshit. ;o

 

[Quatre47]

But what about his eggs?!?!

 

[tickeroo]

I assume he ate them at some point. I can consult the tape again if you like.

 

[roawtman]

Was Floooid treestump? I can never remember all of that fools characters since he had so damn many he played.

 

[tickeroo]

Floooid is darkbroken, Painchaud is Treestump.

 

[roawtman]

Ah yes, I kind of remember those ones now. I will have to link tree this video on MSN since he is in it. Me Treestump and TMRev ended up playing WoW together for years now.

 

[Quatre47]

Ah yes, I kind of remember those ones now. I will have to link tree this video on MSN since he is in it. Me Treestump and TMRev ended up playing WoW together for years now.

You should all come play PSO2 with us.

And those eggs...what kind of eggs were they, he seemed rather excited for them, I assume they were something important.

 

[tickeroo]

I've been on something of a PSO kick again after digging up these videos. Playing in progressive scan on the Wii on the big screen, which I've never done before. I did a Skyly West Tower run today and found a 35 hit Yas 7000. ^_^

 

[roawtman]

Nice, last time I played PSO was messing around on BlueBurst with TMRev and we did some tower and got this on the second run lol.

 

[tickeroo]

Wow. That's actually why I was doing Tower. Super cool looking sword.

 

[roawtman]

Yeah, we weren't even aiming for it. His FOnewm ended up skyly and we didn't even realize that it dropped there for it. Never did end up unsealing it though for whatever reason.

 

[Quatre47]

 

[tickeroo]

Tell Sega to release it here. Then, purchase and mail me a PSP Vita.

 

[roawtman]

Don't worry you aren't missing anything of significant value.

 

[tickeroo]

Oh, right. I forgot from the other thread, PSO 2 sucks. Also, I've been reading all this shit about how Sega are xenophobic racists who like to ban non-Japanese players for no reason. : O

 

[roawtman]

Alot of people seem to like it, but it is about the total opposite of what I would want from a sequel to PSO. It is far closer to a sequel to PSU in my opinion. I can't say I will ever support stuff like having to pay a fee for the ability to trade items in a PSO type game as well.

Sega being xenophobic wouldn't really surprise me sadly, considering there treatment of western PSO fans since PSO was a thing.

 

[Quatre47]

The only place Sega has put large IP bans on is China, do to a large amount of bots and gold farming coming from there, other wise, they've been pretty well welcoming of anyone.

As for the game, no clue when it gets released here, and its done a great job of pulling from both PSO and PSU to make what feels like the best game yet, tho I do agree, lack of trading for some is a bit annoying, tho I never really traded much in past games so it hasn't bothered me any.

[SephCast]

This was a great video, thanks for posting.

 

[RandomRival2]

I remember Zephyr... And Trunks. I was a young kid back then but never heard of IGN. Somehow I met Trunks and we played a lot. He told me about IGN. I remember Zephyr was named Sega Mac on these boards. He was a great guy. Back then I went by Little Nicky and The Pest.

 

[ShinobiWan1]

This is a SUPER LATE RESPONSE, but that's a great video! I found some VHS recordings I made of PSO on the Dreamcast, and Xbox.

The earliest one I can find is my first time fighting De Rol Le offline. I was so excited to play the game that I didn't read any instructions and skipped the tutorials...SO I didn't know you could do 3 hit combos. The video of me playing De Rol Le and eventually winning is around 30 minutes long.........it's painful to watch, but I might upload it sometime!

 

[Treestump]

woah, I remember you taped all the gameplay stuff.

 

[Sega_Gojira]

Jesus man. This was 17 years ago. It feels like a whole lifetime has passed since the PSO Dreamcast days. Whatever happened to Vegeta187x and redlightsaber I wonder? They used to be such great friends.

 

[ngamer007]

The nostalgia is too strong, I can't take it. I remember so many of these names in the video.

I wonder how everyone is doing, what everyone is doing, these days...

 

[ngamer007]

There are still so many missing, untraceable online.
