Forums - Sony - Exactly how is MAG a (Graphical) Flop?

Perhaps maybe I'm misunderstanding a few things so correct me where I'm wrong.

But based on my understanding, MAG is more along the lines of Warhawk rather than Killzone 2.

So when I saw the trailers/stills of the game I was immediately impressed because in my head I was comparing it to Warhawk. I understand that in terms of ps3 games, Warhawk is on the verge of becoming a grampa so comparisons with anything new will be unfair.

But then again since MAG is closer to Warhawk than any other game (again correct me if I'm wrong) that's what we should use as a yard stick right?

From my understanding, (Again correct where wrong)

  • MAG has no single player/main storyline like Warhawk/unlike KIllzone2
  • MAG is meant to be a multiplayer experience with a stupid amount of people playing at once, meaning straight away; visually speaking Crysis should have nothing to worry about.
  • MAG trailers so far are mainly early builds.

So with these points in mind...why are people expecting MAG>> Killzone2 visually?

I guess I'm looking at it from a different angle to everyone else so can someone please explain?

But you guys got to be honest ! Its the PS3 for pete F-ing sake ! From what Sony has been feeding us the last 3 years, It should have better graphics



but the fact that it's 256players on a console sorta backs up the chest pounding doesn't it?

Is there even such a thing? So for example, Halo 3 sells over 9 million units, but doesn't look that great, it's a graphical flop?

I doubt you could have Uncharted/Killzone 2 level graphics and support 256 players my friend. Let's be realistic here.

Until Nintendo and/or Microsoft's consoles release a title with 256 players the fanboys can't talk any shit.

Exactly it's the PS3, not a NASA computer. It has limits and 256 players looking as good as in Killzone 2 is a bit out of reach for it.



Signature goes here!

Please tell that to the ones from the other thread calling PS3 fans hypocrites because they are not upset with the graphical quality and more excited about the idea of 256 players.

*Now really asking you to go post that in the mentioned thread*
