This has been out for a while and I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been more coverage of it. This PSU trailer shows off the online aspect of the game. I’ve talked to some people that saw the game at E3, and it looks like the single player is going to fall short of its lofty promises. That’s unfortunate, but I doubt anyone will cry about it for long when they start playing online. In short, the online aspects of PSU look more robust in every way. The player hubs—entire cities now, not just a lobby—look very cool. There’s also some trading going on. The combat also looks much more dynamic, and the addition of two more players just makes everything look much grander. But, you can see all that for yourself. Find the video after the break.
This video will only play properly in Firefox. It still plays in IE, just not at its full resolution. Sorry about that folks. It’s likely to stay that way until I can find a fix for my video application. Or a new one. If you’re that upset about it, you can download the video from Xboxyde right here.

Single player not up to par? That’s not good. I miss me some Phantasy Star.
