(03/06/2004) Voilà ce qui va sûrement être LA news de la semaine, en effet Microsoft vient d'annuler True Fantasy Live Online. La principale raison inviquée par Microsoft est l'incapacitée à fournir un niveau de qualité satisfaisant pour les joueurs. Alors que le jeu devait sortir l'hiver prochain au Japon, cette décision a dû être difficile à prendre pour Microsoft, le jeu ayant été commandé à Level 5 en 2002. Les MMORPG étant un genre rare sur Xbox, voir absent pour le moment, il reste encore Citizen Zero qui est en cours de développement chez Micro Forté.
