Sony: MAG only possible on PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) hardware marketing boss John Koller has told VG247 that upcoming online shooter MAG is only possible on PlayStation 3.
“If you look at that competitively, it’s something that’s only possible on PS3. The processor speed, the ability of PS3 to showcase 256 players at any given time, and their actions.” said Koller at the GDC last week.
“It’s basically like an iteration of SOCOM, where you’re maybe commanding the SEALs, and someone else has the Rangers, and the Green Berets, and so on,” he added.
MAG was originally revealed at E3 2008 and has the distinct honour of being the first console title to include up to 256 players on screen. It will be interesting to see how the game pans out once it is released, and you can be sure that PlayStation Universe be watching it closely.

They said that about Socom, but Socom could easily be on the 360. Easily.

The rankin system better b complex. Ithink thats where KZ2 failed, I know there r ribbons etc but a more indepth ranking wud of made it a tad slightly better. Also MAG better have proper character customization cause that will ROCK... Lol allow me to even put my face in the game like vegas did LOL. Im gnna av 2 buy R6V2 again
