I’m digging the internet for some interesting news. MMO-wise we know already everything, we know what the market is cooking for the next months/years so the news activity is rather unappealing. Always the same faces, always the same games, all flat and redundant. A lot more, instead, is happening around the console world where it’s possible to see a lot more research, vibrant ideas, imaginative worlds and graphics, a large variety of genres and new hardware possibilities.

The fact that this year we do not even have Anyuzer means that my E3 interest is just near to zero.

The only news related to mmorpgs I have till now is the port of Final Fantasy XI to the X-box 360. I started to write about it, then I found someone doing a better work. The actual press release is here. It interesting to notice that they finally confirm that the game has 500k+ active subscribers. Some impressive “demo” images are available here.

The coverage about the new consoles is great as always at Joystiq. Between all the hardware shown I’d pick as interesting the PSX3 and the Game Boy Micro. It’s just a pity that Microsoft was able to get support from Squaresoft.

I’ll keep this post open for minor news and updates if something big enough to require a dedicate entry doesn’t come out.
