While the community waits for the next round of alpha testing on Tuesday, there have been some more interesting developments on the PSO2 news front.
First of all, a few players have provided links to Sega's PSO2 Alpha Test client download tool. This was only supposed to be available to test participants, but it's been leaked, so anyone that finds it can download and install the game. The client installer is 912 MB and takes 30 minutes or less to download on a decent broadband connection. Of course, if you weren't selected to participate in the alpha test, you still can't play the game, but that doesn't mean there isn't value in downloading and playing around with the software...
...Speaking of which, a few English-speaking fansites have downloaded the client and are apparently in the process of datamining it for more information about the game. According to a few posters over at PSO-World, the game takes advantage of nVidia's PhysX physics engine, though it doesn't seem to be known exactly how. In any case, it should be a definite step up from Phantasy Star Universe for those folks that have the right hardware.
Unfortunately, while I do have a copy of the client download tool, I will not be providing a link to it. Use Google and you should be able to find it without much difficulty, though.
