Sega Remakes Phantasy Star, More For PS2

Posted by simoniker on Saturday June 7, 2003 @08:58AM from the fantasy-and-phantasy dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamespot story that indicates Sega's remakes of Phantasy Star, Fantasy Zone, and Monaco GP will be available for Playstation 2 this August in Japan. According to the article, "Phantasy Star: Generation 1 will feature enhanced graphics and sound, cover artwork done by members of Sonic Team, and a special making-of booklet. Fantasy Zone and Monaco GP will feature 3D elements as well as a making-of booklet." No word on a US release, or, indeed, on the Slashdot Games' most-wanted remake, a next-gen conversion of Power Drift.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but Sega is doing a Phantasy Star 1 remake.

Check out the screenshots..

I'm a huge Phantasy Star nerd (I own the Japanese PS1 remake for Mega Drive! Shoot me.), so I guess I'm buying a playstation 2 if this thing ever comes to the states.
