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.

Sega realised it's true talent? by PirateDave+-) · 2003-06-07 21:11 · Score: 3, Insightful

Sega's games have always been much better than their consoles.

Perhaps they've realised this and are using a release of a classic game to a non-sega console as a little more of publicity teaser. An indication of what's to come, so to speak.
