Ten minutes of the casual PS3 MMO, Free Realms

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.

Can I play as a gun toting postman ?

It looks a tadbit dull, aimed at a younger demographic...
Between this and The Agency, no question over which i'll be playing!

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?
o_O
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.
WATCH ME AS I TAKE 20 MINUTES TO DELIVER EVERYONES MAIL. D: It'll be sooo much fun. :\

I like the graphics. But I dunno about the gameplay. A EverQuest 3 on the PS3 would be much more awesome.

This game looks like ass. Sony should just pay activisionblizzard an assload of money for a PS3 WoW port and be done with it.

I personally think this game looks amazing. A pretty decent distance from traditional MMO's. Plus it's FREE!
FREE + GOOD GRAPHICS?! Can't believe it!
I'll keep checking for this puppy to come out.
