Warner Bros confirms Terminator: Salvation for 2009
New David Jaffe title out no later than 2010Lord Of The Rings Online developer Turbine has revealed plans for a PlayStation 3 MMO, adding to a rapidly-expanding list that includes The Agency, DC Universe Online and the recently-announced Bioware epic Dragon Age.
"We’re looking at creating, hopefully, the first MMO that really works," stated Communications Director Adam Mersky. "We’re not going to rush to be first so-to-speak, but clearly we’re leading the way."
The company also cited a quality-driven development cycle, boding well for the future of this mysterious project.
"We’ll ship something when it’s ready, and when it’s something that’s going to work on the platform," Mersky continued. "Clearly there are a lot of hurdles. We’ve been working for awhile, plowing through the majority of them, and we’ve got a lot of work still to do."
Mersky declined to provide any thematic insight, but marrying the Lord of the Rings property with a next-gen console audience would seem like a no-brainer - hopefully we'll have confirmation soon.

very nice indeed....
The best of that list is easily the Bioware one (though I've always had my eye on The Agency). Trouble is, this is the only site that suggests Dragon Age is coming to the PS3. No one else is saying that. There are a lot of nervous fanboys that are saying that if this is a PS3 exclusive, they are selling their Xbox 360's and getting a PS3. This would be the western RPG coup that could diffuse the loss of FF13.
the best IMO has to be DC Universe Online. This game will change the gaming industry.
PSN: yungder
I had a crack at LOTRO on PC, and IMHO, it takes the best bits of WoW and improves it a lot - it's easily the best MMO I've played - if they can do a similar job on PS3, it would be a very, very good thing!
what about NCsoft's mmo's ??
on topic: cool :)
your exclusive mmo is much welcome and if i like what i see im buying, i'm already 50-50 on this
Now devs are starting to come out with news on bringing big times games out. Beforee they would peep around the corner to see if microsoft back was turn before they would say anything, now some of them are doing the right thing.
psn id: I95SOUTH
psn id: gingo... i am still undecided about MMO's on consoles, i mean The Agency and DC Universe look great but whether they will delivier or not is another question and remains to be seen
I guess you meant recently announced for ps3 . I have been waiting for Dragon Age in many years :P
Anyone play LOTRO? it was the biggest piece of trash I have ever wasted my own money on. I even got the special edition on launch day :( .I bought it to get away from WoW, but after not even 3 days of play I went back to WoW and never played LOTRO ever again. It didn't even use it's own game engine it was the one used on D&D online (which sucked too). I have a feeling anything else they release will be a lackluster, failed attempt to steal WoW's thunder but as every attempt from every other publisher has, it will fail miserably.
What?!? When the heck did Dragon Age go from beign a PC-only single player game to a multiplatform MMO?!?
@13
I dont know what you are talking about, LOTRO is one of the very best MMORPG games there is, hands down. Oh, I see, you are a WoW fanboy, that explains a lot.
