In an interview with Joystiq Brian Clayton, Executive Producer at NCSoft, gave a vague hint at possible ways that the PSP will be utilised by them in the future. While nothing concrete could be said (NCSoft are keeping very tight lipped about their devlopments for the Sony platforms), he did say that "we see a number of opportunities with the PSP as a standalone MMO or as an extension to our full-blown MMOs on PC and PS3. "Using the PSP to allow users to access certain components of MMOs is a no brainer. Sony are even doing it with Home. Full blown MMORPGs on the PSP, though? That we'd like to see. Clayton goes on to list the problems inherent in creating such a game. Lack of buttons, communication and screen real estate all need to be thought through before it can happen. But it will happen. We're intrigued to see what they come up with. Particularly regarding "communication".

Man I would like a real PSP mmog . Especally if it would evolve into a cult classic like PSO :)
