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.
