First Look at MAG: Screenshot! Screenshot!
Kim Fidler | 10:13 PM on 07.22.2008 5 comments


Yes, I meant to put "Screenshot," and not "Screenshots."



Today, the Playstation blog revealed a screenshot of what the 256 player MAG will look like. It's not a big deal but the shot they showed actually looks pretty great. It has paratroopers, guns, bazookas, trees, satellite dishes, powerlines, and buildings. I don't know about you guys, but I love any game that has satellite dishes.

Here's what the Playstation Blog had to say:

"Though it’s early to talk in depth about MAG, we can definitely quell some fears we’ve already heard from you about how MAG will need to compromise on gameplay to support its size. Well, it may be massive but it is an action shooter at its core. You can run around and shoot enemies, throw grenades, and drive vehicles just like any other shooter except with MAG you’ll do it with up to 256 players. The team at Zipper was one of the pioneers of online gaming on consoles with the SOCOM franchise and they’ve used this knowledge to create a brand new server architecture to make an original game like MAG possible."

So is this thing a system seller?

I wouldn't try it until they had like some across-country testing of that damn server with 256 people in it. All I can think about is massive lag.
