Those who manage to get into the Phantasy Star Online 2 beta can watch a Sonic movie trailer in the lobby • Eurogamer.net
Phantasy Star Online 2 launched in North America yesterday on Xbox One in beta form – and its servers were quickly crippled by the huge number of people trying to play.
As excited fans struggled to get into the game, Phantasy Star Online 2 began trending on Twitter.

Tried logging into the #PSO2 servers last night and it was predictably slammed and I couldn’t log in. Tried for roughly 45 mins and gave up. Woke up this morning at 3am to go to work and tried again and got in! Played the first Forest level to get the feel of the game.

Eventually the official Phantasy Star Online 2 Twitter account explained that Sega’s online multiplayer sci-fi game, which first launched in Japan nearly eight years ago, was trampled by fans.
Hi, Arks. Just an update on what happened:
(1) More users tried to log in than we could have anticipated, which resulted in players not being able to access the server.
(2) We identified problems in our data processing program, those have been addressed as well.

Brilliantly, those who do manage to get into Phantasy Star Online 2 can watch a trailer for the soon-to-be released Sonic movie, which plays on screens in the ark lobby.

The fact the sonic movie trailer plays on the ship screens occasionally is hilarious to me #PSO2 pic.twitter.com/jxS5UDCoZG

Here’s the new Sonic movie trailer, if you haven’t seen it already:
Servers are back up (at the time of this article’s publication people are streaming the game). The closed beta test ends today, Saturday 8th February at 11.59 PST (that’s 8am Sunday in the UK).
If you’re wondering how the game looks, the video below two-and-a-half hours of gameplay from the beta.
There’s no word yet on access for European players, although an open beta test is planned.

Even though my name is Nuke, I can promise I’m not a reason why Tumblr is nuking their own site
So uh yeah, under fear of their whole “oh hey nsfw stuff is out this month and we’re literally destroying probably more than half of the community this site has anymore” and the fact that algorithms can easily mess up and deem something sensitive and adult because they’re all bad like that, I am going to provide you all links to different sites that you can see me at.
I won’t be deleting this blog, nor any of my other ask blogs. But if one of them does end up disappearing all of a sudden, please inform me and I will try to get to working on that.
No, they don’t have any adult content on any of them, but you never know with this crap. Anyway, enough talk, here’s some links.
Youtube (You can find some Let’s Play and other junk here if that’s up your alley!)
Twitter (I’m pretty active here also)
Deviantart (I’m not super active there but when I draw something up it usually ends up being posted there too)
Steam (Video game fun times!)
I also have accounts on most gaming platforms as well, including Nintendo’s services (from the 3DS/Wii U, and of course Switch), Xbox Live, Playstation Network, Battle.Net, and a Discord account. If you want to add me on any of these, please message me anywhere you can and I’ll get to it as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading this wall of text. It’ll be an interesting month to see if anything of mine stays intact...
