Sony Online - new PSP/PS3/Flash 8 sites
Two great new sites for Sony platform-gamers from Sony Online Entertainment/Station launched recently, that PSP freaks and PS3-hopefuls will find very interesting. (Did I mention they both leverage tons of Flash 8-specific features, too?)
First up- Untold Legends - Dark Kingdom, a PS3 game based on the popular Untold Legends series (I really enjoyed the PSP-based title, Untold Legends - Brotherhood of the Blade and am looking forward to ripping into it's sequel). Real-world physics are a big part of the game - and the website - this should be a really fun one.
Next, the Gods and Heros: Rome Rising website- an online RPG based in the world and mythos of ancient Rome, designed by Stieg Hedlund (lead designer of Diablo II, a personal fave), and co-published between Sony and Perpetual Entertainment. Although I usually avoid MMORPGs simply due to the amount of time they consume (can you say time sponge?), this looks like a really well-done game. I've heard really good things about the innovative combat system and squad-based development in the game, and must admit their teaser site (linked earlier) has me pretty curious.
Check 'em out!

So does this mean that PlayStation 3 and PSP have Flash 8 support?
I thought the latest version of the SDK was Flash 7! If not, then why did Adobe refuse to deliver anything newer than Flash 7 to Nintendo and Opera for the Wii browser?

Hi there-
No, this post simply means the websites built to showcase those new games used Flash 8. I've not played either game, nor does gameplay of either use Flash, of course.
I can't speak for either the PS3 or Wii's Flash implemention as I don't own either and have never even seen the browsing experience - sorry. The PSP's Flash support is built around Flash Player 7, largely due to the memory profile required on that device, which is much smaller in FP7 than 8 or 9.
