Resident Evil Online and other high profile titles on their way. Full list inside.
February 13, 2002 - Sony dropped a bombshell this morning when it announced a number of high profile titles for PS2's upcoming Japanese online service in its third PlayStation Meeting event.
A total of 30 online projects were announced at the conference. Note that many publishers didn't commit to exact game titles yet and only announced what genres the titles will fall under. Although Resident Evil 4, Zero and 1 (Remake) remain GameCube exclusive, Capcom is in fact developing an online title in the Resident Evil (Bio Hazard) franchise for the PS2. But without much further ado, here's the list:
-Massively Multiplayer Online RPG (Atlus)
-The Dungeon of Doruaga (Arika)
-Auto Modellista (Capcom)
-Bio Hazard [working title] (Capcom)
-Tokyo Highway Battle Online (Genki)
-Nobunaga's Ambition Online RPG [working title] (Koei)
-Music Game [working title] (Konami)
-Sports Game [working title] (Konami)
-Shogi Dojo 24 [working title] (Success)
-Soreyuke! Karaoke Heaven (Success)
-Final Fantasy XI (Square)
-Guru Guru Onsen PS2 [working title] (Sega)
-Simulation [working title] (Sega)
-Hundred Swords (Sega)
-Race [working title] (Sega)
-Arc the Lad Online [working title] (SCE)
-Kuma Uta [Bear Song] (SCE)
-GT Online [working title] (SCE)
-Minna no Golf Online (SCE)
-Mojibu Ribbon [working title] (SCE)
-Network Board Game [working title] (Takara)
-Multiplayer Action Adventure [working title] (Tecmo)
-Table Game [working title] (Tomy)
-Clockwork Online [working title] (Namco)
-New Action Adventure Game [working title] (Namco)
-3D Flight Shooting [working title] (Namco)
-Namco Sports Online [working title] (Namco)
-Project Venus [working title] (Namco)
-Bomberman Online [working title] (Hudson)
-Armored Core Sigma Project [working title] (From Software)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess some of the as of yet unnamed titles from Konami, Sega, and Namco -- but we shall refrain from speculating for now.
Sony also explained the functionality of its "Broadband Navigator," which opens up the world of the Internet for PlayStation 2 owners in Japan. Here's a quick overview of the Navigator's main features:
PS Emulator / PS2 Player: plays PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software downloaded from the network.
Mail / Instant Message: send email and instant messages to other users.
PlayStation Jukebox: play back music downloaded from the network and stored on your hard drive.
Real Player: enjoy streaming video content on your PS2 via this media player app also available on PCs and Mac (developed by US-based Real Networks).
In addition to the growing list of broadband compatible titles, SCE also revealed partnerships with four large Japanese Internet service providers, Fujitsu's Nifty, NEC's Biglobe, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. SCE President Ken Kutaragi told reporters and developers at the conference that with the help of these four partners, PlayStation BB would be able to reach more than 90 percent of Japan's broadband users.
The Sony broadband online service is scheduled for April in Japan. We will have more details from Japan soon.

Wow. A list of online games and not a single FPS!!
Anyway, I hope it's a huge success and encourages Nintendo to follow suit.
It would be really cool if there was some games that could be played across platforms.
Gamecube Vs PS2 Vs Xbox owners online?
Forget the petty arguments, THAT would be a real console war, and one where you would show of your gaming skills instead of acting like a petty politician!
These sorts of console wars ARE endorsed by the army of the free gamer! :-)
