SOE: Future MMO Projects Also On Consoles

Posted by John Manalang - Monday, October 06, 2008 3:09 PM

With the anticipated DC Universe Online MMO title on its way to the PC and PS3 platforms, Sony Online Entertainment looks to broaden its audience by making their titles available to a wide range of consoles. And now, thanks to their interview with MTV, all MMO projects under the company will arrive to not only PCs, but home consoles as well.

SOE president John Smedley said in the interview:

"For us, the opportunity that we see on the PS3, and potentially the PSP, is something that we can't pass up on. I would say that we would be one of the early adopters on [bringing MMOs to consoles], and we plan on becoming one of the dominant players in the MMO space on consoles. We see that marketing coming; we think it's there now, so we want to get a good market share there."

In expanding on SOE's interest on developing MMO titles for the PSP, the company said that they could introduce new PSP/PS3 gameplay mechanics with future projects. Aside from DC Universe Online, SOE is also bringing out other MMO titles such as The Agency and Free Realms.

DC Universe Online, The Agency and Free Realms are also scheduled to be released sometime in 2009.

Sony already had an MMO on the PS2; Everquest Online Adventures and the expansion EQOA: Frontiers. The graphics weren't great but it was super fun. It didn't do well in stores but that's because it was almost never advertised. Its still up and running actually. I hope one of the games they make will be a sequel.

i play WoW the most of any MMO i have ever played, i started playing runescape (when my computer sucked out loud) then upgraded to UO... then i moved on to EQOA (which i loved alot, and started my love affair with gnomes till this very day) so i owe sony alot
but i just hope they will someday release EQ2 on PS3, since my computer would never handle it right, no matter which computer i tryed it on :P
altho i still wouldn't leave WoW for it ever... but now and then id play it at least

I think the ps2 still has Phantasy Star Universe,maybe Sony can finally do what M$ said it was going to do and incorporate all three platforms (M$ just had the two, the 360 and pc though , but Sony has ps3,pc,psp) into a game.


M$ said you could go on the pc and upgrade your car or character via the internet for a game your playing on your 360 so imagine what Sony could do with three platforms.

ALL MMOS IS GOING TO SUCK BALLS ON THE NOGAMESTATION 3 AND PSP!!!

I bet if WoW came to a console it would be ps3. because of space needed (all have at lest a 20gb hard drive) and well a use be key board and mouse or blu tooth wireless. That would make me buy a ps3 much faster
Only if sony knew then could bring more PC games (not ports) to the ps3 then it would have games to play o well no game system for them *sigh*

So does no one know of FFXI Online? Its a Sony game and on the xbox360. Do you think that Sony would give up making more profit by not carting MMO type games over to other systems? PLEASE its money!!!
