PSO Episode IV

[T-Nemesis]

Hi guys. I used to play Ep 1 (DC), and than Ep 1 & 2 (Xbox), but since last christmas I cancelled my hunter license. I was on a gaming website today when I heard mention of an Episode IV, can someone fill me in? What console is it on; when does it come out; will it be online?

Thanks

Episode IV is an expansion for Blue Burst, the PC version of PSO. I believe that both of them are free to download from psobb.com; the only charge you pay is the Hunters License. It is definitely online, in fact, I doubt that it can be played offline.

For further information, check out the Ep IV forums.

Ah, I see. Thanks

No, you don't download both of them from the official site. you just download BB and update it. EpIV is a patch! Because it's all part of BB, there is no additional charge.

so you just download the original blue burst and you'll get episode IV free with it?

yeah it's not a seperate thing. You cant play BB without it, it will come in patch form.

if you ask me, ep 4 was kinda half ass.
just some new skins and textures and music.
oh, and how the whole map is set up,
but it doesnt seem to contain anything new
(it might sound weird but im sure some of you
know what im talking about. the step from
ep 1 to 2 was way bigger than this)

Well no crap, if you want new gameplay you need a new game engine! That would be PSU. Also, no new city area! ST are too lazy for their own good. However, I will say graphically the desert was kick ass (for PSO).

I thought the new enemies, well, some of them, were quite imaginative. The hopping merissas, the circling Pazuzu, the charging and rapid flame launching bootas. Not to mention the ranged/melee arm stretching gorans.
