Massive Action Game to feature 256-player online

Posted on July 15th, 2008 at 16:34 EDT

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 three years now.

Hopefully we'll be able to bring you the awesome trailer shortly. Stay tuned!

Sony is smart, they know that ps3 owners are upset about the ff13 butt they have somethings that people dont know about that they are working on. Just watch and see. Its coming. Im down with sony to the end, ive only had a playstation and will only have a playstation. My son has a ps2 and want the ps3 and he will get one. thats how everyone should roll.

@7- yeah the millions of people that have a PS3 are going to get rid of their console because ff13 isnt exclusive. Dont be so thick.  I care more about 2 ply TP then i do about FF.
