Sony’s John Koller has revealed that upcoming MMO shooter MAG: Massive Action Game is ‘only possible on the PS3′. He made his ‘latest’ comments while speaking at the latest GDC event.
When speaking to VG247, Koller explained: “MAG is a 256 online-player game which is spectacular. 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. ”
The game was originally showcased at E3 2008 and is due to be released sometime this year. Koller informed us that the game is said to be an ‘iteration of Socom’, one of their other successful shooter franchises.

Does your handle “Low” stand for LOW IQ? “ur be lucky if u can find 30 people to play with on the playstation network.”
Finish grammar school English and maybe… just maybe you’ll be able to formulate a logical statement and from that noteworthy opinion. Go back to school xbot.
Hey lol check this out fony fan boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyVh1_vWYQ
your such a fag. have fun with your 360 that has failure problems yet again.
Oh and i hope u enjoy ur new TEX CHAT up date lol wow its 2009 for christ sake.lol lol lol lol
swearing creates a linguistic hindrance and makes everything you say a fail.
As an owner of all 3 current gen systems, I must say that the PS3 is really beginning to stretch it’s legs. I thought the chaos of Killzones 32 or R2’s 60 were awesome, but this is gonna take the cake. I can’t wait to see how they’re gonna pull this off. The line up of seemingly must have exclusives this year has been great.
I like Killzone 2’s 32 player matches, but the maps in Resistance 2 make some of their 32 player matches just a big ball of confusion.
Not that there’s no confusion in KZ2, but I think KZ2’s environments support 32 player matches better than R2’s does. Just my $0.02.
I’m hoping MAG is better than SOCOM: Confrontation. Not that SOCOM: C is bad…it’s just not great. Slant 6 really could’ve tried to tap into Zipper more to make SOCOM: C.
I’m really pumped for MAG though.
And why is it that you can’t even post an article about a PS3 exclusive game without having some Xbot come in and troll?
Oh yeah…his 360 is probably getting it’s RROD problem “fixed” for the 50th time…leaving him with time to troll the internet for PS3 articles to squat on.
Nice life.
