Ten minutes of the casual PS3 MMO, Free Realms

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 18th 2008 at 5:00PM }

There are a number of MMO titles coming to PS3 via Sony Online Entertainment. This ten minute video from the developers tries to explain how the upcoming casual MMO will work, starting from its Facebook-like social networking website, moving on to the four styles of gameplay Free Realms features. Burning questions like "can I be a ninja?" are answered (the answer is yes). Unlike other MMO games, Free Realms is more about various mini-games -- there is combat, but it's optional.

I hope not! =P

Once a major EQ addict, I must resist MMOs...

Yes, it will be free. Microtransactions will be a big part of the game's business model.

hmm i dont know what to make of this game, its kinda interesting (some gameplay concepts anyways) yet boring (the gameplay again)..the combat was quite weak too.

Could this be the new Maplestory?

This looks bloody stupid. SOE is lame, the only one that I'm slightly looking forward to is DCU. But still I'm not an MMO fan so I might not even play that.

Are they aiming for 7 year olds in this game?

Cause' seriously, Pokemon has more violent action.
In case they didn't know, ps3 customers are teens and adults. We don't want Rated E mmo crap.
