Of course it has. It's like a cross between MAG and BFBC2, etc. It would work well on consoles as theres not much to dumb down. Although I do absolutely hate FPS games on consoles, so yea hope they don't do down this road.
Loved PS, played it with OcUK for a time too, those were the days! Can't wait for PS2!

How on earth is not? I can't think of many other games that would be more suitable (MMO Wise)

Because controllers suck imho, thats why 
And the limited memory available might limit the size of the battles, which is what PS is all about.
WOW yes, PS no.

My comment was based on the fact of any MMO PS has the best fit for a console.
Its a Sony IP and it just screams PS3 game to me.
Dont get me wrong its not my dream or anything but just fits. that and the no pay structure of PSN would make people maybe more likely to pay a sub on PSN.
My guess would be that making console gamers pay a monthly sub would be hard, all my freinds who play on live or PSN hate the idea with a passion, ok some of my PC gaming freinds do as well but everyone on the consoles does without fail.

I dont think the PS3 would limit battle size in Planetside, given that MAG runs easily with 256 players. OK the vehicle side of things is not really there in MAG, you have iirc 4 APCs per team in the 256 battles but even Zipper have stated somewhere that they could get more on the field in MAG.
Plus take a look at upcoming MMOFPS for console only Dust 514 (i think thats what its called) based on the EVE universe, developers have said the absolute minimum playing on that would be 64 and that does house vehicles.
Its a shame they dont give it a go.

It could easily be made with some continents with smaller pop locks for the console players if there are limitations to the possible size of a batlle on the ps3. I think a ps pop lock is now 400, it was 600 at some point possibly more.

Hahah <3
Actually can't wait for this, missed PS the first time but remember reading about it in PC Gamer and other places and wishing I had the internet at the time.
In regards to the console discussion, I'm sure they could handle it to a certain extent with some minor limitation, but I'd prefer it just to be a juicy pc only love fest.

PS pops are pretty good again, all this psn talk has got a lot of old players back and there have been some fantastic fights this weekend. Sub for a month, squad up with some knowledgable people and enjoy one of the best online games ever.
