It doesn't even matter because The Agency (at least, not sure about the other MMOs) is coming out on PC as well, so it can't even be claimed as an exclusive, just like all of the 360 games that are also on PC. So what's even the point?

Is it confirmed that PS3 owners are going to have to pay a monthly fee? I haven't heard much so I'm not aware of all the details.

Have you not realized by now that people are talking about console exclusives. Some annoying dude does this every time there is a thread about exclusives. It steers the conversation away from the topic.We get it most games of quality will be on PC if they are on one of the consoles.

Sigh... frankly I don't care about the whole console-PC exclusive debate, I just want people to pick one standard and stay with it. I see 360 fans get hammered because "all of their games" come out on PC, then this comes out and it's all "360 can't handle this."

Hypocrisy just bothers me a lot

Did you really think you would not get a monthly fee with an MMO?

Or do you want them to go with the Korean model of charging you for bits and pieces of the game but not a monthly fee.

That's not how it works. They make money on attatch rate (games and accessories). That takes years, but it works. As for sixaxis...how bout rumble? lol.

but for the most part it is exclusive, and i would consider most 360/pc games exlusive, not all but some, but only because this game is developed by SOE so its a sony exclusive not a ps3 exclusive, correct me if im wrong, cause i talk out of my @$$ alot.

You must of never played Everquest, Everquest 2, Planetside or SWG. The team making this is the team that was making the Mythicia(SP?) game for Microsoft, a game many called the one game that would stomp WoW on all levels.

tonemd_basic

Or they could go the Guild Wars model and not charge you anything... they haven't discussed pricing... but I do expect some sort of monthly fee. Can't be sure until it comes out though... all MMO's don't include fees. I never got into FFXI, did it include a monthly fee?

most MMORPGs have an online fee....thats nothing new. if theres no fees at all then theres usually a catch (eg u have to pay money if u want to be any way competitive in the game or u cant access most content). phantasy star online on the GC and xbox also had monthly fees (the fee is on top of the live fee with xbox). if wii gets an MMO, chances are itll also have fees (nintendo have mentioned that they will allow 3rd parties charge for online play on wii.....but they wont charge themselves).

You act as if 360 owners dont have to pay fees for their mmo's. Although their are currently only 2 of them, you still have to pay a fee for PSU and FF11

Star Wars Galaxies is proof of it. Hell, there are rumors LucasArts wants to give the MMO liscense to someone who can make a game worth a damn *cough*Bethesda*cough*.

That's because the hype behind that game was 'From the original creators of EQ' crap. But Warhammer Online will stomp WoW no doubt. That game has very high props going for it.

Also, I will add that this was completely over hyped though. It does sound like a cool game. I'll definitely be checking it out if there is no monthly fee involved. If not, not sure yet... it'd have to be WOW awesome in order for me to pay a monthly fee.

You have to admit though. If one of those games was a Team Ico game, I could care less if it were in game or cgi. Just the fact of knowing what it is, is mind boggling.

true. but i doubt one of them is killzone. I think we wont see anything of that game until E3. But if we do, I think its a safe bet that it will be another CGI trailer.

The Agency. Even the title sounds lame._en1gma_

Actually, the concept behind the game and the developmental gameplay style all sound pretty cool if you're into either rpg's, fps, or mmo's to begin with. Anyway, the game is scheduled until next summer anyway... so this is one of those titles I'll just wait to see what it becomes. Sounds like it has promise though.

You really think Killzone 2 will be cgi again? I dunno. I think there's a lot of people looking at this game. And I mean everyone. It's going to either hit or miss entirely come E3.

With the amount of hype Killzone has, I believe the outcome of Killzone will determine Playstation's future. Thats how much hype is around this game. Sony can't afford to miss with this one.
