Game developers have been hesitant to even think about releasing a MMO for the PSP. Here it is year 2 or 3 in some places of the PSP and noone until NOW a homebrew has decided to crack the surface and make an MMO for the psp. Heres the link to the official article and trailer for this game. The article is below, but i suggest you go to pspupdates anyway just to see the trailer! By the Way this is set for release on this upcoming Monday!!

Remember that Triple Triad PSP homebrew from almost a year ago? Yeah, the game based on the Final Fantasy VIII card game was quite a smash hit back then and right now, development for the game has taken it to a whole new direction: MMO Infrastructure. Huwhat?! Did we just hear that right? If No Gravity was pushing the graphics-side envelope of homebrew development, Triple Triad PSP is definitely pushing its online aspect.

Part of the Triple Triad Team is Zero-One, who tipped us off, saying that they're finally ready to dish out some info about the whole hush-hush dev project they've been doing for about a year now. alexmae from our forums was kind enough to post a translation of the changelog (which is in Italian) for Triple Triad PSP Online:

* Complete graphic Restyle; Optimized code, 60 fps
* 3 decks besides the classic (FFVIII) , over 330 cards + bonus
* For the first time MMO Infrastructure; Massive Multiplayer Online
* A virtual world based on FFVIII world; Shop, buy and sell cards
* Private messages; Live chat during the game; Friends list, black list
* Possibility to view users' status, track their movements
* New FFVII and FFX decks (coming soon FFIX deck)
* Added help during online game and rules info

Zero-One has announced that they plan to roll out Triple Triad PSP next Monday, so you better be sure to keep your eyes peeled. Upon its release, we hope to get more info of how the whole online aspect works... This whole project is posing a very interesting revolution for the homebrew community. What say we release the source code for this game, 'ey, TT Team?

I haven't played the first FF card game, and I have only put this one on my memory stick. The online doesn't work for me, maybe it will work for someone else. So it isn't an MMO Quite Yet .

Not yet, but will soon

hey yumiko, the way i understand it, the game will never go back online according to sayka, one of the people in the group working on Triple Triad.

here is a website as proof as to where Sayka answered 2 of my questions.

it's on page 5.

wait...its an online card game? is it a 3d world that you actually see other players?

To me it sounds like they got the card game already made, added a menu option for online play, and then released it saying that you can play online when it didn't work in the first place and now they are saying it will never work. That just wasted a minute of my life sheese thanks for nothing huh?

You're welcome?

O lol, sorry yumiko I was referring to the makers of the online version of triple triads.

Haha, sure, ok =p

man so triple triad is never going up?!

It will, eventually.

so is it up yet?
