SOE President talks console MMOs, rivaling WoW

The Agency FTW!

id like to remind smedly about star wars galaxies and ask why i should ever put time, effort and money into any soe mmo again .
yes im still bitter and no sign of forgiving them yet .

trouble with soe is they find a good concept then fail badly when trying to execute , i mean planetside has more promise than anything ive played in ages , but it was so badly implimented and supported its crazy .
they are still the only true mmofps on the market , theyn should have cleaned up with that one .

Dear god DC comic MMO...salivate!!!

mmo console games reaching 10 million sounds more like hype

considering that all of XBOX live Subscribers is approx 10 million

He said rivalling, not beating and didn't give an IMMEDIATE timeframe for this.

Also, if the game was a real hit many of those WoW players would migrate over to the PS3 & PC SOE MMO.

I think console MMO's eventually will have a steady following, but still, it's way more comfortable to play a MMORPG on a computer even if you do have a mouse and a keyboard for your PS3. If they want to make console MMO's they should focus on something more action oriented than actual rpg's. Just my thoughts.

The PS3 has been equipped for MMOs since day one. Having mouse and keyboard support will make PS3 a very good system for MMOs. Once People become accustomed to MMOs on consoles... PC Gaming is done.

LET ME SAY THIS:

I will play and gladly PAY for a Console MMO. I'm tired of WOW, period!

I agree wholeheartedly with the online gaming future being on the consoles. There are many reasons for me to believe that and i just dont feel like rambling on and on at the moment, however i will say that for next 5 or so years i also firmly believe that we will not see any WoW "Killers".
Certain games such as WAR Online, maybe Star Trek and anything with heavy prexisting fan will do good, but that is again on PC only for the time being.
Shooter style MMO's are never going to work. Why would they when we have...well the shooters with RPG elements (read: CoD4). Now time will tell and maybe with better introduction of MMO RPG style peripherals for consoles things will change, or SoE will start an MMO revolution on PS3. You never know!

please?

I'd certainly prefer to play an MMO from my couch, with surround sound and big TV, rather than in front of my PC. I sure hope they figure out a formula to beat WOW that is better than WOW--I dropped my subscription to that after the first month. It's a walking simulator, no story, and is so incredibly boring I fell asleep a number of times while playing it (had 5 characters, max level was 26--I tried to like it, I reallly did). I seriously do not understand the draw to that game, but I guess leveling up just so you can beat harder monsters so you can level up some more using a variety of classes with skills that are basically the same with only cosmetic differences, well...I guess that is somehow addictive to a lot of people. I just don't get it.

The Agency looked rather interesting as an MMO to me because it seemed like it might actually have a plot, ie, a point. I would love to see successful MMO's, RTS's, etc. on consoles because PC games need to go: it's just too expensive to keep upgrading one's computer every year or so to play games, when a console costs at least half the price and lasts for 5 or more years before the next version comes out.

Anyway, sorry to those that love WOW. I'm just not a fan and I still don't get the draw to it.

when is the agency due out, anyway? what about the DC comics mmo?
