There's a newsbit on News.com, announcing that Sony/Verant will bring Everquest to the Playstation 2:
Sony Computer Entertainment of America announced last month that by August it would start selling a PS2 network adapter with an Ethernet port for broadband Internet connections and a modem for dial-up access. Sony executives said there was widespread support among game developers planning to add online components to their PS2 game, but it offered no specifics.
Sony is racing against Microsoft, which has said it will launch an online service for its Xbox game machine in late summer or early fall. Microsoft is expected to provide specifics for the online service at the E3 trade show next month.
In Tuesday's announcement, Sony Online Entertainment, a division of the media and electronics conglomerate, said it would release "EverQuest Online Adventure," based on the series of PC online games, for the PS2 next spring. The game will consist of packaged software and a subscription-based online service. I am still wondering how they will implement the chat system there - does it mean you will have to buy a keyboard for the PS2 then? Probably. |
