The news came out from E3. NCsoft has signed an exclusive game development deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) for the leading online game developer and publisher to create several online games for all current Playstation platforms. No information was given as to what the games would be, but NCsoft officials did say that the games would come from both, current NCsoft properties, as well as original concepts. Geoff Heath, CEO of NCsoft Europe, expressed his excitement over the new deal saying, “We are delighted to be working with Sony Computer Entertainment. PS3, with its advanced Cell Broadband Engine and standard hard disc drive on every unit, has already demonstrated it is a truly versatile online platform that gives NCsoft the potential to create massively multiplayer environments. Together with the Internet-enabled PSP, we're confident that SCEI and NCsoft can develop unique and compelling online experiences that will be found on no other platform.”
