EQ2 Goes PS3, Animal Crossing MMOG Japan-only?
Simon has commented quite a bit over at GameSetWatch about the website ‘Surfer Girl Reviews Star Wars’ (which … wth does that name mean?). She’s a consumate rumourmonger, and yesterday she put up the ‘clue’, “Man, this quest seems to be everlasting, now we are on this third station of play.” She confirmed the thing you’re thinking now today, saying bluntly “Everquest is coming to PS3″. My assumption is that she meant to say EverQuest 2 because … yeah. Whaddya say, Scott? This lady have the right of it?
She also says the happy-day Animal Cross MMOG for the Wii is going to be a Japan-only enterprise. “An Animal Crossing MMO would not see release outside of Japan, NoA and NoE are obstinate in only wanting limited online functionality in the title.”
Interesting stuff, it it’s true. Oh, she also says “The next KOTOR is being worked on at BioWare, pre-production and some early production has been done internally at LucasArts, though.” Yeah, we know. It’s called KOTORO. Bit late on the rumouring there.

Why would you assume EQ2 when they could just be porting/enhancing EQOA for the PS3?
Having said that, I hope it IS EQ2 :) I don’t know it’d help PS3 sales, but EQ2 is the superior game and all around fine MMO with all the work they’ve done it. And I think it’d look impressive on the PS3 depending on a bunch of things.
I’d also tend to agree that it’s more likely that we’ll be seeing EQOA2 as opposed to EQ2. In fact, in a follow-up comment, it seems that Surfer Girl agrees:
“New game, console exclusive.”
