29th Jan - MAG
MAG (Massive Action Game)Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Zipper Interactive
Platform: PS3
Release date: 29th January, 2010.
MAG is the first game of its kind on console. This PS3 exclusive MMO shooter is set to host 256 players online divided into 8 player squads. It's an ambitious project and until we see it with our own eyes we're reserving final judgement. We'll be jumping on the open beta phase that will run from January 4, 2010 to January 10, 2010 (available via download from PlayStation Store.)
A variety of game modes will be made available, including the 64 player sabotage and the massive 256 domination mode and a ranking system. As well as fast-paced shooter action, MAG will feature character development and those who rank the highest will be the ones who direct the battles.
Basic battles will take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play. The trailers have shown large landscapes, tactics such as air strikes and parachuting, and a variety of vehicles, from tanks and APCs to airplanes.
Sounds like havok. MAG is either going to be brilliant or utter crap, only time will tell.
