Thread: Sony E3 Press Conference

Sounds impressive

Massive Action Game to feature 256-player online

The final announcement from Sony's press conference at E3 today was MAG, or Massive Action Game. We know what you're thinking...the name isn't exactly original. But the features of the game back up its name.

MAG will feature 256-player online. Players will be split into 8 person squads, and all 256 will battle it out in one world. A trailer showing an extremely hectic warzone was shown with all sorts of weapons including grenades, mounted machine guns and possibly planes too. It wasn't an in-game trailer but then no one knows how far off the title is. The rep from Zipper Interactive said they'd been working on the title for 3 years now.

Sony saved the final announcement of its E3 keynote for a concept using the placehold title of "MAG: Massive Action Game," Unveiled by Andy Beaudoin from Zipper Interactive, MAG — whose trailer looked like "SOCOM set 15 years into the future," according to our eyes on the scene, will immerse players in large online battles of up to 256 players. The trailer featured multiple terrain types, complex tactics, and sounds very much like a SOCOM MMO at this stage.

Character growth will be accomplished through an advancement tree, which allows players to fine tune their players throughout massive campaigns. "MAG will deliver an intense and long lasting shooter experience," said Beaudoin, who also described the game as "a workout even for the PS3 architecture."
