It is my sincere hope that if I run enough of these “Game X is only possible on PS3” stories, gamers will get so annoyed that they will eventually rise up and murder those who keep saying “Game X is only possible on PS3.” Until that time, someone has claimed that Massive Action Game is only possible on PS3!
“MAG is a 256 online-player game which is spectacular,” states Sony’s ever-ambitious John Koller. “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.
“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.”
Massive Action Game has barely been seen or heard from since it was announced at E3 last year. The game is slated for a 2009 release but the only traces of its existence seem to be the E3 trailer and comments from PS3 fans claiming that this game they’ve never seen is going to rock.
It may very well be a good game, but I won’t buy that until I see more than promises. 256 players could be a total mess, especially on a home console. Let’s see if it works before we hype that number to the moon. Oh, and I will always call it Massive Action Game. That name is too silly to be shortened to MAG.
