Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony: MAG will make you buy a PS3

Chairman-Mao said:
I'll give it another chance when it comes out but the beta was mediocre at best.

Don't, save your money the last beta was only a server test meaning if you didn't like the open beta then you will not like the game either since it's what's going on the disc.

 

It's gonna shift consoles in my opinion, but it won't make a noticeable spike in sales, it'll steadily sell some consoles over time.

I knew about MAG even before I had my ps3 and it was one more reason for me to get the ps3 and I've actually heard that some people seem to be interested enough to buy a console just for the game. It's easily my favorite FPS-game this gen, it works and is simple yet fun and it reminds me of planetside.

Absolutely not, awful game IMO, but God of War 3 and Heavy sure will, those two are already pre-ordered.



But war... war never changes

Beta didn't convince me to buy this game, so will wait for some reviews and feedback from people on here before I decide. 256 players online=Lag+Bad Multiplayer maps. Respawning was a joke, it would take like 2 minutes to get back to the fight cause to maps are so big!! But as its only a beta and if Zipper fix these problems it could change my mind

Wow, that's exactly why I hated it. You should have aslo put you can't try to kill anyone single person because 50 people are with him and you need to pray and spray.

Well, they failed if they think it'll make us get a PS3. I can give my reasons:

First, I'm not an FPS fan. One of my roommates is... more tolerant of them than I, but he's not really what anyone would call a fan of them.

Secondly, if I buy a game, I should be able to play it whenever. My guess is that with the size of the games and the global market, playing it at 3 AM shouldn't be tough. But, say, 25 years later? If the server's gone, it doesn't matter if it was my favorite game ever, I won't be able to relive the memories and play it any more. Whereas my games that are 25 years old still work fine.

Thirdly, I'm not an online gamer. I prefer having fun locally, with friends. If I can't do that in a game that's designed for multiplayer, then the multiplayer aspect fails to me. Which leaves the single player aspect. MAGs... is non-existant. So I have no way of playing this game that I care for. And this is what I worry about most; if this becomes a trend, I'll move back away from gaming.

-On a quest for the truly perfect game; I don't think it exists...

sounds very similar to what Sony said for KZ2 launch last year.

"It will move people from the sidelines, and from what we've seen from blogs, will push 360 owners to try out the PS3. I think it's going to be a major launch for us and this historical PlayStation brand."

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

we could see PS3 is slowly building it reputation around FPS games

I think we're starting to see the PS3 starting to demonstrate it is the console for FPSs, but its getting a reputation for having great games across a wide variety of genres.



I have to say I really, really disagree with your statement about the PS3 being the console for FPS. But you are entitled to your opinion, I just think you're in the minority.

tried the beta and was fun, played mainly as sniper. il have my copy in fe weeks.

for large scale team battles you cant get better than this, a first of its kind on consoles.

should get to 1million



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk
