Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Codemasters in talks to publish two console MMOs

I never played Dungeons & Dragons Online but if that is one of the two games they're considering bringing over within the next 12 months I think it could do well.

"The time is right for some good console MMO games. There's two titles that we're really interested in for taking to console right now and that's something I'd like to see happen in the next year or so, but it's got to be the right game," said David Solari, vice president and general manager of Codemasters Online Gaming, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz.

"It's a little more challenging because of the restrictions of a console – certain games aren't going to work. Final Fantasy was very successful on 360 so I just think you need the right game, and I think there's a really good opportunity there because there's not enough companies there right now," he added.

Solari revealed that Codemasters has discussed the growing genre with format holders Sony and Microsoft, but the big sticking points for the publisher could be sharing revenues and the costs of maintaining an online environment for home consoles."

Sounds interesting. Hope Codemasters find the right game. I think consoles now are ripe for a good MMO.
