At their Austin GDC lecture on Friday, Sony Online creative directors Chris Cao and Jens Andersen talked creative considerations when creating multiplatform MMOs, building the framework for a PSP/PC Spy Vs. Spy in the process.

Cao, formerly lead designer on Everquest II and here representing a veteran of PC MMOs, and Andersen, a ten year console vet on games like Battlezone and Clone Wars, kicked off the session with a specific claim that MMOs weren't rightly a genre like RTS or FPS, but rather a category of game that can contain elements of the former.
