Big name Sony MMOs delayed?

 
Smedley admits titles have been pushed back Yet more in from GDC now, as we hear from Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley that several big name Sony-backed online titles could now be pushed back into 2010. Speaking in a lecture session, SOE chief Smedley said that both DC Universe Online and The Agency are likely to be released next year - the titles originally scheduled for release on PC and PS3 this year. Smedley was chatting in talk titled "An industry perspective on how new online games will reach the masses," during which the lack of updates on the new games was addressed, the big cheese noting that everyone is too busy finishing the games to promote them. More on both these creations soon, hopefully. (link)
