Yeah, that's kind of a bummer since I played the Original on the GCN. But it's not really too bad. First of all, the graphics don't look like they'll demand a high end pc and it should be easier to patch for Sega.

And to whoever said they spent a whole lot of hours into the game, so did I. Man that online experience was awesome and I did spend a lot of time in multiplayer too.

Hopefully it has LAN play - I'd actually buy two copies if it did.

Been following this for a while now. All arrows point to the Free 2 Play option. At least that's what all the Japanese alpha testers are saying.

That's what a bunch of MMOs are doing now. Shit, even WoW's F2P until level 20 now.

That would be awesome. I really think F2P is the future of online games - microtransactions FTW!

I think even WoW will eventually become F2P, maybe after Blizzard releases whatever their next MMO will be a few years from now.

Well Age of Conan just went F2P today. Like half the content is disabled unless you either A) get a subscription or B) Buy the content outright. Pretty cool I suppose.
