Playstation 2 Online at OnlineConsoles.com

I guess companies are finally realizing that in order to push a product you have to evolve it and enhance it a little over the course of its lifespan. Finally someone puts SERIOUS throught into upgrading a online game for a console. Giving more control to the people doesn't harm sales, it increases sales! A huge step here in PS2 online my friends. HUGE step.

Inevitable Entertainment has developed new server technology for Tribes: Aerial Assault. Meaning that now Tribes Aerial Assault for PS2 will be able to connect to PC servers. Tribes PS2 gamers will now be able to play games with up to 32 players! instead of the standard 16. The servers will log data from game matches. This will be used to allow players to build tournaments and matches.

"With Sierra's permission we started with the original PS2 Aerial Assault code base and removed all graphics, anything specific to the PS2, and the ability to have a local player," said D. Michael Traub of Inevitable Entertainment, "Then we added a few extra tricks, like support for the chat menu system, which was not present in the retail PS2 version, a slick telnet control console interface, and a really cool IRC radio bot and logging system."

We are currently gathering more information on this, we will have info to you within the week on servers that are currently up that support such new features.
