It has been a rather tough time for Sony Online Entertainment, with huge layoffs and a massive data breach causing the MMO publisher to cancel projects and lose the trust of a huge proportion of its fans. Luckily, however, PlanetSide Next wasn't canceled, so fans of the massively multiplayer game will still be able to play the title when it releases later this year. But with E3 not revealing any new info on the game, many were worried it would be a while before we heard anything about the title. Luckily, we won't have to wait too long.
There´s tons of talent behind Mark media´s upcoming iOS Kung Fu fighting episodic adventure game “Shuyan the Kung Fu Princess”. People that has worked on titles such as “Star Wars: The Old Republic“, “Mass Effect”, “Batman: Arkham Asylum” and ”Dragon Age: Origins”.
So the hype is on for sure. But will the game live up to all the hype?
Will the rebirth of Sony Online Entertainment as Daybreak Game Company create ripples or splashes? AUTOMATON's Kasey Cranfill uses Haronix's history to indicate a bright future.

"For this week’s featured topic, we discuss Sony selling off Sony Online Entertainment. Though it was sold due to it not being as profitable as Sony would have liked, it was still something that distinguished Sony from its competitors. We discuss what this all means for Sony and how Microsoft stands to benefit from this."

It was a pleasure to finally be on this show. It was fun, and Brett's rants were classic.
Very glad to see you went with the Sony Offline Entertainment title lol Sony and Microsoft need to get their online issues resolved as I'm paying too much a year to put up with this nonsense.
Dang, SOE saved something for after E3!
Hopefully the announcement isn't, "it's cancelled!"
Not sure what Sony is going to do with SOE. I'll feel bad if it shuts down.
Please, let it be EverQuest 3 !
Probably a PS3 version.
