Thankfully, it looks like those dark days are over. Two huge PlayStation franchises now have confirmed online play: Metal Gear Solid and Tekken. Like Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, the upcoming PS3-exclusive Tekken 6 will feature versus matches over the internet. That's supposedly only the first of a long list of online features -- don't be surprised if Namco Bandai adds online leaderboards to the final game.
Metal Gear Solid will also be going online on PS3, but how exactly is still unclear at the moment. Could the recently disconnected Metal Gear Online come back as a PlayStation downloadable title? Or, will an online mode be added to Metal Gear Solid 4? Hopefully, we'll find out more at next week's Metal Gear 20th Anniversary event.
