Re: UKNM: persistant world gaming

[Jon Clarke]

In a few weeks time Quake III and Phantasy Star Online will launch in the UK

on Sega's Dreamcast. One's to watch I assure you. Quake is well established

but Phantasy Star Online allows you to speak to any player in the world

while playing the game and the speech bubbles that appear to the user are

translated into their language. English, French, German, Spanish and

Japanese. Your avatar or playing character can be defined by you and there

are millions or variants so no two players will be a like.
