The new revamped Sony Playstation went online recently. The interesting bit of info comes under the Playstation 3 features page. According to the official website you can talk to friends and other players in the middle of the game using voice or text. The features page also lists in-game chat for online games as a separate feature. It gives less reasons to confuse both features.

The full description as the official website puts it:

"Talking with friends or other players in the middle of a game is easy. Chat by text or use your headset to voice chat. You can also add new friends or check other player’s profiles (including their Trophy collections) to know who you’re up against while you’re playing."

This could be a good sign that the long awaited feature might finally be on it’s way.

Square Enix knows exactly what the players of its flagship MMO, Final Fantasy XI, want: New things to kill, which drop new things to wear. The company will fulfill these primal urges with three "Battle Area Add-On Scenarios" which will be released throughout the year. The first expansion, Vision of Abyssea, will go live during the summer, with two others, Scars of Abyssea and Heroes of Abyssea following soon after. Each new area can be purchased for $9.99 through the PlayOnline Viewer.

This will split the Supreme Commander 2 fanbase in two. The game’s made enormous compromises, but it’s also brought in a superb sense of mayhem and variety. On the one hand it’s a shame that it’s going to leave much of its intended fanbase cold, but on the other there’s nothing especially wrong with the first game, so stick with that if you don’t like the sound of this.

It hasn’t aged particularly, and no-one else has stolen its thunder yet. There is absolutely no reason why it and its sequel can’t co-exist, providing two related but critically different strategy flavors. Supreme Commander 2, after all, is an RTS about choice - that might as well apply to the game itself too.
