2. Introduction to Psychic Force
=============================================================================
What is the Psychic Force? Psychic Force (PF) is the 1st 3D fighting game from
Taito. It's well known because it has really unique gameplay. Unlike the others
fighting game that fight in the ground. in PF you wasn't in the ground. You're
totally flying in full 3D environment. The camera angle also impresive, cuz it's
really dynamics. Zoom in, fast 360 degree rotation, this one probably can be
compared only by "ERETZVAJU" other unique 3D fighting game from Yuke's a game
developer that have been developed "SOUKAIGI" for Squaresoft
Psychic force also made me really mad when I saw it for the first time...in 1996
During that time, I still play my old Sega Mega Drive, and never think about
Playstation (a bit too late heheh^_^;) one day...when I went to gamestore
I saw a game with really cool anime FMV and unique gameplay called "Psychic Force".
I Though myself..."Gosh!! this was impressive!! the gameplay, anime and soundtrack
was COOL!!", later..I'll start to save my money to buy a Playstation. Finally,
I can get the Playstation and a copy of PF in my hand. I'll started to play
it.... until I was bored. Although I was bored...but I still love this game.
Nowadays sometime, I still spend an hour in the end of the week to play this great game.
Anyway,....I also afraid Psychic Force won't get any sequel. And it means PF
will end in it's first tittle. But, it's disappeared when I recieve a copy of
Psychic Force Puzzle taisen. Although it's not as good as Capcom's Puzzle Fighter
2X, PF Puzzle Taisen, is fun enough...because it's cool opening FMV, great theme
song nice BGM, Puzzle Bobble style gameplay and and interesting gallery mode plus
really challenging difficulity level. If you was a Puzzle Bobble (Bust a Move in US) fans,
You should try this one. You won't be disappointed.
I've been tryied to surf the net for several months to find the info about the sequel of PF,
and at last, I found PF 2012 still in development stage. That's made me a bit happy....but,
it's change to a disappointment when I found that Taito annouced the home-port isn't for
Playstation anymore...but will be for Dreamcast. Dammit! this is first word crossed in
my mind when I was readed the article. The problem is because DC was so expensive here
(in Indonesia). There aren't much gamers owned a DC,...and the price for a copy of GD...
(so scarry). But....several months after the DC version was released, I found Taito annouced
Psychic Force 2012 port for Playstation! huh? this is great!!!! (but...the disappointing it's
because Taito's delay the release date from June to October). The Psychic Force 2 have been come
to your nearest Playstation....go to the next version if you wanna know more about
this really special fighting game.
=============================================================================
3. What is Psychic Force 2?
=============================================================================
Psychic Force 2 is a nice and sweet translation from Dreamcast to
Playstation. Actually,...I never play the DC version, but I've been played
the WIN 95 version which has identical graphics and identical gameplay with
the DC version. Unfortunately, PC version also has a Bad things that I doesn't
like. It doesn't have VS and Option modes!!!...OK, that's no prob if there
are no VS mode, because you can still challenge your friend via pressing
"start" during a Arcade mode. But if there are no OPTION? that's gonna bad....
cuz, if you a beginner, you can't adjust the difficulity level and...if you
think the position of button wasn't comfortable you can't customize it.
One again...there are NO EXTRA!! the PC version come EXACTLY like the arcade
version without no new additional lineup...yeah, that's what I hate from the
PC version. Anyway, the PF 2012 for PC wasn't a bad game either. Since the
fighting game for PC isn't available a lot(not like the console), if you want
a good PC fighting game, why you didn't buy this one (just make sure that
you can read Japanese --it's necessary for the installation,and have NJWIN
software if you don't own a Japanese Windows 95/98)
About the Dreamcast version? sorry...I can give you any info about it yet,
since I don't own any Dreamcast (like I say above...it's so expensive here,
so I never and can't play it) fortunately...if you like to find the info
about the DC version, Herbert Quiong has the info about it. Just find his
PF 2012 DC/Arcade faq (it's available in www.Gamefaqs.com) and you want
several screenshots, midi, and other multimedia, visit his homepage at
The Shrine of Psychic Force 2012
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/7184/PsychicForce.html
Like what he said in his faq, His homepage was REALLY have the best english
coverage for Psychic Force
Now about the Playstation version..... Several months ago, Taito annouced
that the PS version will have identical gameplay, graphics with the DC version
...plus there will be some extra that can't be founded in Arcade PC, or even
Dreamcast. It'll also featured different opening FMV and new theme song named
The legend "a Dying Hero story" performed by Kageyama Hironobu which also sang
the OST for Kishin Douji Zenki (Vajura On!) and opening theme for Psychic Force:
Puzzle Taisen. The theme song of PS version was sooo cool!!! I though to myself.
About the gameplay...if you think it's identical probably you're right. It runs
at -I guess- 30-45 fps. It's run faster than the first PF and much more enjoyable
...yeah, really much better I tough. The problem is about the graphics. Can
Playstation compared the Hi-res DC and Wolf hardware graphic, because Taito
annouced the graphic will be identical? yeah! it'll be identical with several
minus point. in PS version the resolution will be lower and several polygon will
lost, some small object also something break. You'll see Carlos miss his glasses
sometime. But...for the Playstation class, the quality wasn't bad. I guess....
the load time rather long, because...unlike Tekken 3, the background was fully in
3D(not rendered 2D) and...IT's MOVING!...great!! PF 2 have been take advantages
almost all from Playstation 3D displaying ability. Whatever.......although isn't
as good as the DC and WIN 95/98 version (for the graphics)...perhaps the graphics
PF 2 is much better than the previous version.
The Extra was exclusively added for the Playstation version. there are picture
gallery, the Psy Expand Mode (which much like the build up mode for Bandai's
Dragon Ball Final Bout and the world tour mode for Capcom's infamous SF ZERO 3),
new additional hidden characters...Sonia, Brad and Genma!! it means that the PS
version will have all of PF1 characters.....and, the Pocketstation support!!!
good work Taito!!! because you know how to make the "not perfect" arcade & DC
translation become sooo enjoyable^_^.

4. Menu Explanation
=============================================================================
ARCADE MODE:
the usual beat the game mode. You'll get the nice anime FMV and ending theme
named Ai Wa Shizumeteru (?) if you can beat the game. The 2nd player can
joined anytime during the battle. What do you need to do is beat the game as
fast as you can....your initial name and your record will be keeped after you
beat it. btw...i believe all of fighting fans should be know about it.
STORY MODE:
pick a character, then you'll be enter his/her story (each has different storyline)
there'll be some conversation...and ending. other player can't join freely,
unlike arcade mode.
TRAINING:
Let you fight a "dummy". Use this mode if you want to practice your combo and
other playing abilities if it's necessary or if you're a beginner.
VS MODE:
You'll fight with your friend (human vs human) in this mode.
GROUP VS:
The "KOF" mode. Build your team with (default) at least 3 members, then...fight the
team of your friend or computer.
SURVIVAL:
just like arcade mode....except if you beat the opponents, your life bar won't
fully recover.
PSYEXPAND:
Like I was explained above...this mode much like build up mode in DB Final Bout.
Once you beat the enemy, your character will leveled up via gaining experience.
They'll be gaining new move as well...imagine if Keith got Wendy's air slasher!
..anyway, please refer to Herbert Quiong's faq for more detailed info regarding
this mode
PSYCHICHERS NET:
the menu for pocketstation user. Read Herbert Quiong's faq for much more
detailed explanation
RECORD:
Viewing the past record
ALBUM:
Can be used to view the picture that you've got after beating the game
OPTION:
Via this one...you can customize the gameplay such as controls, difficulity,
screen adjust...etc (everybody should already know about the function of the "option" right?)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. The Chart of Basic Ability List
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
note: all of button taken from default setting. There will be several
differences if you don't use it. The basic ability will apply for all
characters
Square (S)................G.................none.......guard
Triangle (T)..............L.................none.......light attack
Circle (C)................S.................none.......strong attack
Cross (X).................E.................none.......expand
360 degree + S............360 + G...........L1.........barrier guard

S + T (close).............G + L (close).....none.......throw
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. "Combo"-ing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
the concept of combo in PF 2 was really simple...there won't be a juggle, or
different chain for each character. The character separated into 3 groups,
...lightweight, middle weight and heavy weight. Each has different combo pattern.
here they are (taken from Jacel Ong's faq):
Light weight (Might, Patty, Wendy, Genshin, Emilio, Sonia?)
-------------
L, L, L, L
L, S, Special
L, S, L, Special
L, L, S, Special
Middle weight (Carlo, Regina, Setsuna, Keith, Wong, Burn, Brad ?, Genma ?)
--------------
L, L, L
L, S, Special
L, L, S, Special
Heavy weight (Gates, Gudeath)
-------------
L, L

7. Story behind Psychic Force 2 (taken from Joseph Ong's Psychic Force 2012
faq for Arcade/DC....and originally was created by Herbert Quiong)
=============================================================================
2010, The immense power of Keith and Burn's final showdown, caused
the untimely destruction of the Old Noa underground Fortress,
where many Psychiccers lost their lives. Noa has been destroyed
officially. With the demise of Noa, the world's Psychiccers are
left without a leader.
2012, Keith Evans ressurrects Neo Noa and follows the path towards
a peaceful world for united Psychiccers. Richard Wong creates his
own Army of Psychiccers to destroy Neo NOA and humans alike.
There is also a "Third Force" of Psychiccers who seek thier
friends and family, and hunt down members of Neo Noa and Army to
find the truth.
