MAG was in-game

Anyways Sony changed the conference. Like the other thread, Kaz wasnt there which was weird.

This is going to bomb very hard. To quote a ramdon person on the internets

"appreciate the thought, and it's nice to see them really trying to stretch the PS3. But MAG will not work.

Period. You will never. EVER be able to organise 256 people you have never met before. You'll be lucky if you manage to keep the squads together. And thats before you factor in the average inteligence of the average person you meet online in these things. A fantastic idea, and I love the principle. But I predict that a massive flop just because people aren;t ready for it yet"

mmofps >.> I remember playing one in 2002... what was it's name... it was a PC game of course - it was actually made by Microsoft... to be honest I think the game was caned.. I was playing it in alpha or beta I can't remember.

IT was very fun though.

Yeah imagine that your squad leader would be dweti or Soriku... I won't follow their orders... :)

I said this in my other thread but I'll say it again here:

How is it that no game even comes close to using 80% of the PS3's SPU's yet MAG is already pushing the PS3 to its limits? I don't know, this just doesn't seem exciting yet and seems like they're just going for quantity over quality to me. I seem to remember saying KZ2 was going to push the PS3 to its limits and I guess it's not even close to 80% of its power now.

Personally, I think this game is a mixture of all talk/hype and just impressing people with huge numbers.

I cant imagine how you are going to organise those people, but it does have great potential and is a good idea, though I am not the greatest fan of online games

MAG looked too natural to be pre-rendered , I'd have thought they'd make the game more cinematic if that was the case.

Oh and it's from zipper; the dudes who brought you socom.
So expectations are high, but like someone mentionned: 256 people working well together online is .... hard.
I'd like to see some more information on how they're going to handle that, because they must know that this is the make or break of this game.

your a dev.. devs always talk about pushing limits. I think they are meaning pushing limits of current knowledge of the console.

MAG reminded me of End War. I think 256 players would be a lot of fun. The best Warhawk battles are the 32 player on Archipelago. I'm not going to fall for the hype but it is promising. At least Sony is trying to take console gaming in a new direction.

ssj12 - When does the NDA expire? Was it Versus? Do you know anything about the BBC game? I need some answers.
