In the Sony press conference,Jack thompson(i think, might have been hirai)taked about a deal with NCsoft (haven't seen this talked about much either). Anyways, in case you didn't know, NCsoft is the creator of guild wars, a popular MMo on the PC. Seems to me a exlusive MMo could be on the way to PS3...:D

Free online service + free online mmo sounds like a winner to me :)

I hope they release GW2.

Erm guild wars isn't an MMO. Lineage however... the 2nd highest with online subscribers under WoW... was created by NCSoft.

I want Exteel.

Guild Wars isn't an MMO

It is for a lot of ppl even if you play it in instances. And there's a few free mmo like anarchy online and shadowbane.

It's not necessarily going to be aGuild Warsis it? Same sort of thing though. Another thing, Sony did say that although there online is free, dev's can charge for there games online of they want to :|...

A good MMO on a console would be nice.  It would be more condusive to casual gaming rather than addictive gaming.  I once played my friends WoW account with a PC 360 controller and I liked it.

how did u do that? 1. the game doesnt support controllers, 2 the X360 controller doesnt have enough buttons to even be considered as a viable alternative to the keyboard

I would be happy if they made Guild Wars 2 cross platform for the PC and PS3. Since my computer will not be able to run GW2, if it was on the PS3 and PC I would be happy because I already have an account for Guild Wars as it is.

There is some mod that allows the use of a PC 360 controller.  A, B, X, and Y acted as the first 4 hotbuttons, and when you held LT they acted as the second 4 hotbuttons.  RT was auto-attack.  RB was "select closest NPC/creature." Left stick controller movement, the right controlled the camera for easy turning. Holding LB made the right stick control the mouse. Clicking worked when you "clicked" in the sticks.  Sure you cant communicate too well, but it worked and was fun.  We also hooked his laptop up to a TV.  

I made this in Adobe Illustrator some time back to experiment with how one could more easily apply console control to something like an MMO.  The 9 face buttons allow for more functions as MMO's require alot, and they also fuction as a sort of phone pad for Text Message style communication. It isn't perfect, but it's something I thought might be fun to see be made.

An exclusive MMO for PS3? Sounds like a lonely place to me.

Unless it is extremely good or there is a PC version, I don't think that it would have many players.

I wouldn't say no to a new City of Heroes if NCsoft could get cryptic to do a superhero MMO for the PS3, to bad Marvel looks to be 360 and PC only. Though, we will most likely get the DC MMO which is cool.

Sony Online have already announced The Agency, but that's on both PlayStation 3 and PC. I don't think we'll ever see a truly PS3-only MMO. Because of graphics scalability and a very, very large userbase, there's simply too much money to be made on the PC. Keeping it only on a console would limit profits quite a bit. It's why Final Fantasy XI and its' expansions are available on PC, PS2 and 360.
