MMOs don't have the greatest record on consoles, but Sony Online Entertainment is trying to change that with FreeRealms on PS3. SOE boss John Smedley also sees a ton of potential for MMOs on the upcoming NGP, strongly hinting that FreeRealms will eventually make its way to the portable.
There´s tons of talent behind Mark media´s upcoming iOS Kung Fu fighting episodic adventure game “Shuyan the Kung Fu Princess”. People that has worked on titles such as “Star Wars: The Old Republic“, “Mass Effect”, “Batman: Arkham Asylum” and ”Dragon Age: Origins”.
So the hype is on for sure. But will the game live up to all the hype?
Will the rebirth of Sony Online Entertainment as Daybreak Game Company create ripples or splashes? AUTOMATON's Kasey Cranfill uses Haronix's history to indicate a bright future.

"For this week’s featured topic, we discuss Sony selling off Sony Online Entertainment. Though it was sold due to it not being as profitable as Sony would have liked, it was still something that distinguished Sony from its competitors. We discuss what this all means for Sony and how Microsoft stands to benefit from this."

It was a pleasure to finally be on this show. It was fun, and Brett's rants were classic.
Very glad to see you went with the Sony Offline Entertainment title lol Sony and Microsoft need to get their online issues resolved as I'm paying too much a year to put up with this nonsense.
WoW on NGP, here we come! Ha, no I don't see that happening. Just bad SOE games like Free Realms
I honestly don't see how it would be any different to MMO's on consoles. The main gripe with console mmo's is how restrictive the control scheme is to develop a really intricate MMO for - I don't see how the NGP changes this.
I wonder why games such as angel love online have not invaded consoles yet. The game was released in japan for Ps3 quite a while a go and it worked pretty well and had mouse + keyboard support.
Games such as maple story, Raknarok could have potential if they where to get console port with mouse and keyboard support.
You people forget PS3 has playstation move & the playstation navigator controller as an option which means it would work on a mmo game that uses a keyboard & mouse interface set up.
Panasonic Jungle, lol, that was doomed from the start.
