Forums - Sony - MAG releasing in Spring?

In a recent GT interview with Scott Rohde/SCEA VP Product Development. He said they are already running beta tests with 256 players in studio. I'm not sure what this means in term of development buy it can't be a bad thing. I know KZ2 has been having online matches for one year, if that gives an idea to how far along Zipper is.

And since no one can prove that the MAG trailer is CGi, I have no reason to believe that it is (If it was CGi, it was some crappy CG).

I can't prove gravity.  Go jump off a bridge.

THATS FOR NOT HAVING ME AS YOU'RE IDOL ANYMORE!!!!

that would be cool but who could really believe them?

Maybe when you think about the fact they could have been working on this game since late 2005 and definitely since late 2006, it will become a little easier to believe them. The only real challenge here is to figure out how build servers that are able to communicate with 256 PS3s simultaneuosly (sp?) and aren't too expensive. Other than that, the actual gameplay and game programming problems are pretty standard.

 



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

WHAT IS MAG?!?!

 

It is a 256 player mmo first person shooter made by sony 

 

Wow. That sounds stupid. I heard it stands for Massive Action Game. What I know Sony steals all their ideas from Nintendo but come on, this is the best they could come up with?

 

APB FTW



if it comes out spring i might get it. At the time same time I have to get Infamous and God Of War III.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

MAG will be amazing, i cant wait for 256 multiplayer!



@Snesboy - Your comment adds nothing to this thread. Are you suggesting that Nintendo has a 256 person FPS MMO available? What is called "Wii Crap load of people"???

All game companies steal from eachother. Stop believing that Nintendo is the mother of all inventions.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

MAG is more of genre name then anything. Its good to finally have a name for games that arent MMOs but feature a retarded amount of palyers at one time.

Expect it to get a real title later.
