We didn’t start the flame war. Peeps were hatin’ on it ‘fore I left my comment:

Yes, exactly. Nevermind that half of the games you mentioned are unproven and haven’t even been shown in full playable form.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 – remake of an Xbox 360 exclusive with pathetic sixaxis boob jiggling addon.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – great game.

EyePet – WTF EYEPET!!?!? WTF (Are you 5?)

Gran Turismo 5 – vaporware. Remember GT HD? Remember they planned on releasing a basic game then let you buy a ton of cars? They they thought, “oops maybe we shouldn’t do that”. Then remember Prolouge? Gran Turismo is a myth.

Heavy Rain – game looks good, unproven genre, game not shown enough to public

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International – isn’t this an old Xbox 360 game?

White Knight Chronicles – Another Squeenix JRPG. Didn’t their last non FF RPG’s suck?

Final Fantasy XIII – Not PS3 Exclusive

God of War III – God of War is great

Atelier Rorona – What the F is this? Hey what about Bohaasyeiaid Lebaru? That’s an Xbox 360 exclusive. If you wanna import this title go ahead. I bet it doesn’t review very well.

Playstation Motion Controller – BEST GAME EVER. Hey, remember the sixaxis motion controller? THAT WAS THE BEST GAME EVER TOO! Also, I love how the technology basically has no name, (kind of like Massive Action Game) and that all we’ve seen are tech demos. Game comes out 2010! Believe it! Because Sony said so! Sony never lies!

MAG – unproven 256 player online shooter with generic name and generic shooting. Tiered command system obviously will fail due to people not following orders. Under the huge map and multiple groups will you even actually see 256 players playing in the same screen? If not, then what’s the use of actually having them all in one map? 256 Players. Only 3 with headsets. TOTALLY WINS OVER HALO RITE!?

Agent – Agent coming in 2010? Don’t think so. Heck, I haven’t seen anything about this game at all.

Final Fantasy XIV – BEST MMORPG EVER!!!! Remember FF11? Subscription fees are teh awesomesauce! 2 day bosses FTW

The Agency – The Agency!? Another MMO by Sony Online Entertainment? Haven’t they learned their lessons? Sony is horrible at online.

DC Universe Online – Dude seriously? Another MMO. By Sony. I wouldn’t even compare this with a random XBLA exclusive.

Free Realms – Free Realms?…. mmo. Holy crap and it looks bad.

The Last Guardian – ICO team makes great games

Sony Motion Controller – DID I MENTION THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!??!

Think very deeply before you compare a bunch of MMO’s and promises to some hard hitting REAL, and very PROVEN console exclusives, sir.

The list that was given you was:

Mass Effect 2 – Bioware. Proven.
Halo: Reach – Bungie. Proven.
Alan Wake – Demo proven.
Fable 3 – After 2 games, proven.
Splinter Cell: Conviction – Proven.
Crackdown 2 – Proven.
Gears of War 3 – Very Proven.
Project Natal – Has a name, technology Proven. Games already run on it. Proven.

Let me just add one or two that are actual, physical, proven releases:

ODST – Proven.
Forza 3 – Real. Proven. And this time, 2 Forza’s will be out even before Gran Turismo 5 even has a hope of coming out. Has car damage, has reactive AI, has online auctions, good online play, great online community.

I seriously do not know what you are smoking when you compare.

Yeah. Seriously. (Its a PS3 vs. 360 flame war. Except the dude was mentioning PS3 exclusives that didn’t have a history of greatness. Think Lair and you’ll see how unproven developers and games become utter crap and fail.)

M.A.G (Madres, Agachate Guey)

Disculpen los atraso de mi ausencia (sé que les vale pito pero se aguantan) y tenía problemas técnicos (o llámese un jefe muy pendejo) pero ya estamos de vuelta y tratando de implementar una nueva etiqueta (Grax. r3ivaJ Hum) en la cual les daré y si alguien más quiere, algunos datos primordiales acerca de eso juegos que hace mucho ruido por esos días y será “Todo lo que necesitas saber de…”.

Así que el día de hoy comenzamos con M.A.G y algunos datos básicos:

Historia

M.A.G. toma lugar 20 años en el futuro (2030) donde se lleva a cabo un conflicto conocido como Guerra de las Sombras o en la Sombras (Shadow War). El gobierno ha malgastado el dinero y ahora no tienen como mantener al ejército que ve por sus intereses. Por lo tanto las Corporaciones Militares Privadas quieren tomar el control y el juego se centra en 3 corporaciones que pelearan por el contrato. Las corporaciones jugables serán los Raven, los Valor y los Sver.

Las 3 facciones de M.A.G.

Gameplay

Facciones

 Al principio del juego el jugador se tiene que ligar a una de estas 3 compañías, después podrá cambiarse si así lo desea. Las tres facciones no solo varían en cuanto al nombre, sino que también cambia su interface, música, base y las armas disponibles. Por ejemplo, los Raven usan armas de tecnología futurista, visten de negro  y parecerán fans de los shooters de ciencia ficción como Halo o Resistance. Las tropas Valor son parecidas a las fuerzas delta de US, usando armamento más tradicional y ropa camuflajeada. Los Sver tienen el arsenal menos sofisticado, visten de café y gris pero los soldados son muy resistentes al combate  y se adaptan a su entorno.

Imagen in-game

El juego M.A.G.  es un FPS para 256 jugadores, divididos en escuadrones de 8 jugadores. Tendrá la visión de jugar en un escuadrón táctico combinado un multiplayer épico a gran escala.  Los jugadores podrán subir de nivel  de una manera muy curiosa, como un diagrama de árbol y en el modo multiplayer  la campaña te dirigirá a una batalla donde se combatirá para apoderarse del territorio.  MAG gestionara batallas a gran escala usando una sistema de cadena de comandos donde unos jugadores controlaran las acciones de otros, liderado por el jugador con la mayor puntuación, que puede llamar a algunos refuerzos (como apoyo aéreo). Los jugadores del escuadrón (que no pueden controlar a nadie) pueden ser llamados para unirse al escuadrón o formar uno propio.

Machin Ah Guevo

El sistema de marcador se ha articulado hasta ahora con soldados de bajo nivel, que cuando alcanzan un status de veterano pueden ser líderes de escuadrón. Estos se encargaran de de manejar a otros 7 individuos y son capaces de desplegar puntos de encuentro. Cuando estos han probado ser competentes ene l puesto de líder de escuadrón, son promovidos a líderes de pelotón, los jugadores con este rango podrán dirigir y/o ordenar a 4 escuadrones dentro de su pelotón. El siguiente rango es el oficial a cardo [Officer in Charge (OIC)] capaces de controlar los 4 pelotones, además de poder emitir comandos que se encargan de ataque de precisión y bombardeos; los oficiales se pueden comunicar por otra línea privada con los otros comandantes.

Algunos afortunados ya han tenido la oportunidad de probar el beta

Cada escuadrón, pelotón y compañía tienen sus propios objetivos a completar durante el combate; durante el combate también abra objetivos secundarios que deben ser completados por los oficiales.

Los jugadores tendrán una gran gama para crear a su personaje, son capaces de darle voz, cara y armadura. No hay una estructura de clases en M.A.G. esto más bien es un kit básico el cual te permitirá llevar una arma principal, una secundaria, ataque cuerpo a cuerpo (cuchillo) y un kit de 3 herramientas; los cuales pueden incluir granadas de humo, de fragmentación, lanzacohetes, y kits médicos. El jugador podrá crear y guardar 3 de estos paquetes los cuales podrá intercambiar mientras se regeneran en el campo. Este sistema de juego permitirá a los jugadores cambiar su táctica  conforme cambie el campo de batalla. Los jugadores ganan más armas, perks y puntos de líder ganando experiencia, la cual irá cambiando ligeramente. Pero Zipper parece haber pensado en todo ya que no ganara os mismo puntos un soldado normal que un franco tirador que solo se esconde para matar así que para equilibrar un poco esto han decidió dar más puntos, en este caso al francotirador, si se dedica a ayudar a sus compañeros a cumplir un objetivo.

 Tipos de Juego

Habrá 4 tipos de juego en M.A.G.: dominación, adquisición, sabotaje y supresión.  Dominación será el modo principal y soportara 256 jugadores, el equipo que atacara (decidido por el que tenga menos prestigio en el área) podrá tener a sus escuadrones dispersados por todo el perímetro, norte, sur, este y oeste. Cada escuadrón tendrá objetivos específicos por completar para lograr la victoria. El equipo de de defensa se encargara de defender ciertas áreas de la base que se encontrara en medio del mapa.

Adquisición es un modo para 128 jugadores que evoca al típico modo de capturar la bandera, donde al equipo atacante se le señala por haber robado 2 “prototipos de transporte de armas” y llevarlos a los puntos de extracción antes de que finalice el tiempo.

Sabotaje es un modo para 64 jugadores donde los atacantes deben infiltrarse a las bases enemigas y defender simultáneamente dos puntos de control  hasta que se destruyan.

Supresión es un modo para 64 jugadores  en modo deatmatch en equipo de pura infantería. Este modo es considerado un ejercicio de facción y no contribuye a la clasificación general de las facciones.

Clanes

Como en la serie de SOCOM, de Zipper, el jugador podrá organizar clanes, que son  “grupos”  donde los jugadores podrán organizarse mientras se encuentran conectados a la PlayStation Network y jugar como un equipo.

Como pueden leer el juego implementa cosas interesantes que van desde el modo para 256 jugadores hasta  la “completa” personalización de nuestros monos, además parece incluir clases para todos los fanáticos de los shooters, los guerreros futuristas, los renegados y los típicos soldados genéricos cofcofMW2cofcof, así que todo está en sus manos, decidir darle la oportunidad a un nuevo shooter masivo y seguir esperando el próximo Call of Duty.

Servido

ah

Ahora de que juego les gustaria conocer un poco mas la proxima semana… aqui los nominados:

Heavy Rain

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

Eye Pet

White Knigth Chronicles

Demon´s Soul

En la últimas horas fue dado a conocer de parte de los señores de Zipper Interactive, desarrolladores de Massive Action Game, conocido como M.A.G. entre la chaviza, que el mentado título tendrá una fase de prueba beta pública a partir del 17 de septiembre.

No puedo aún imaginar a más de 200 gringos jóvenes preadolescentes ávidos de atención parloteando sobre las misteriosas actividades sexuales de tu madre hacia con ellos, de tu orientación sexual y sobre tu pobre desempeño en el juego. Hay que escucharlo para creerlo.

Lusipurr tries in vain to keep Bup and Ginia on the rails in this PKMN-packed podcast which covers mad bets, classless updates, disappointing sales, and–of course–the Ashes!

The PS3 exclusive game MAG (Massive Action Game) will be released on January 26th. There’s another one for the next year list then. The big question is, though, will the 256 player online be enough to stop people from playing Modern Warfare 2? Only time will tell.

Still not sure about this though. 256 player online is very impressive but it will depend on how good the servers are and if it has enough variety to keep me playing. It will need to do quite a lot tokeep people playing with all the games coming out around the same time.

Yet Another Q1 Game

Massive Action Game, or MAG as people now call it has gotten a release date !  Today, Sony announced that the soon to be popular game will be released in January.  This would only be adding even more competition to Q1 2010.

The US Playstaion Blog has announced this info as well as some other exciting information about a demo of the game.  Sony announced that during PAX there will be a, “MAG-centric community event in downtown Seattle.”  Players will be able to meet up with some of the developers of the game, as well as getting a hands-on experience with the game.

MAG will probably be the Halo of the Playstation 3.  This game is a Playstation 3 exclusive so sorry to all the Xbox 360 gamers who thought they would get the experience as well.  With its 256 online player setup we can only imagine what the devs have in store for us.  I’m just hoping that the system doesn’t crash.  Here’s to good servers!

The game will only be released on the PS3 on January 26th of 2010.

What do you think about yet another Q1 game ?  Do you think its a smart move ?  What about the 256 player gameplay and the fact that it will only be available on the PS3 ?  Leave a comment.

Sony PS a cambiado la prespectiva que teniamos de ella

Hoy Sony nos da una patada en las bolas con estas dos noticias, una bastante freak y que cada vez más se acerca a los estúpidos periféricos de Nintendo y la otra nota es un retraso muy anunciado, vamos Sony te estás convirtiendo en una compañía mas del montón xD.

MAG llegara a las tiendas el 26 de Enero de 2010, ya señalada como fecha oficial, además nos invitan a un meet and great, solo si vives en Seattle donde prodar ver en exclusiva y por primera vez un nuevo mapa para este FPS masivo de 256 jugadores, casualmente el número de invitados; además de que podremos conocer más acerca del PSPGo y nuevos para esta portátil (junto a su hermano bastardo, el PSP).

Que palabra tan fuerte

Todo esto se llevara a cabo en un evento llamado PAX.

Si creían que eso lastimaría tus gonadas, espera lo siguiente: Sony acaba de patentar un detector de risa WTFG¡¡¡; esta aplicación parece grabar el sonido que producen las risas y grabar los movimientos de tu boca, que estarán ligados a un “juego”.

OMFGWTF, Sony GTFO

La patente dice que esto funcionara detectando los movimientos corporales y faciales, además de detectar una interactividad grupal como cuando las chocas.

El software no está limitado solo a los juegos, también serviría para películas, series y demás guarradas actuales.

uh¿?

I received an email today inviting me to register for the MAG Beta.  This is the third for forth beta i singed up for.  Not to sure if or when I get the beta.  MAG stands for Massive Action Game.  This is an online only game that will have up to 256 people playing a teams against each others.  It sound cool.  I hope I get in.

Today, I had the plan to wake up at 8am and have friends over, expecting to be watching Square Enix’s press conference on E3 live at 9am. But apparently I mis-read the schedule or something. Now, from what I’ve gathered, SE won’t be on till 3pm. FML

So for now I’ll just post on some of the things I’m looking forward to that E3 has shown me.

-

MAG: Massive Action Game

Not that I’d be able to play it cuz I don’t have a PS3, but this game looks freaking schweet. Its an MMO FPS, I guess. It’ll support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads, with 4 squads forming a platoon, and 4 platoons forming a company.

Releases in Fall 2009.

-

Halo 3: ODST (& Halo: Reach)

I’ve known about ODST probably since word first got around, but I was never too excited about it. I mean, I’m all for Halo, but this game didn’t seem too essential, so I figured I’d play it once a friend of mine got it. But then Bungie announced Reach, which I am -psyched- for! I’ve read the first three Halo books (I have the other new ones, just haven’t had motivation to read them..), and I know that the first book, Fall of Reach, takes place before the story of the first Halo game, back when Master Chief was training to become a SPARTAN and goes on all those missions early on when the humans got involved with the Covenant. So basically I have high hopes for this game.

And now I’m pretty sure I have to get ODST because purchasing it gets you included in the multiplayer beta for Reach. Wooooo! D;

Halo 3: ODST Gameplay, with Halo: Reach teaser at the end.

Releases Fall 2009.

-

Final Fantasy XIII

I’m looking forward to this more than FFXIV, why? 1) Xbox! 2) I tried FFXI, didn’t like it 3) Not a big fan of MMOs anyway 4) It’s been too long since I’ve played an RPG, I -need- this.

Releases Spring 2010.

(Oh, and on a side note, I really want a PSP and Final Fantasy Dissidia. Look it up for yourselves.)

-

A few others worth mentioning that I don’t feel like posting too much on:

Brutal Legend – Looks retarded, but it -is- Metal…

Left 4 Dead 2 - Cool improvements, but will gameplay still be as fun and exciting as the first? More so? I don’t want to get it if I can get the same fun from the first game.

New Super Mario Bros. – Same game, re-made for the Wii, similar to what they did with the DS version. But now the game can be played in single player mode, or two, or three, or four.

This list started life as a Top Ten but as I began putting it together I thought I might as well just list everything that PS3 owners can look forward to in the future.

There were too many to fit in one blog so I’ve broken it down into two parts. The second part will be in the next week or so and will feature games that are further away on the horizon.

And so in no particular order, here’s what’s hot on the radar:

Terminator Salvation

Release Date: 19/05/09

I’ve read several previews of Terminator Salvation saying the game has ripped off Gears Of War and is similar is style. It certainly looks like Terminator has taken it’s inspiration from there.

And is this a bad thing? Obviously it’s great to have groundbreaking titles with fresh ideas but film licences are notoriously bad games (Iron Man anyone? ).

If they can make a game half as good as Gears Of War with Terminators in it then I for one think that’s cool.

My only reservation is that the footage I’ve seen looks a little repetitive in parts but hopefully that won’t be a problem.

At the end of the day it’s been too long since we had a chance to shoot up some Terminators!

Here’s hoping for a downloadable Arnold skin for the main character at some stage!!!

Will certainly check the demo before buying though!

InFamous

Release Date: 26/05/09

InFamous has crept into this list at the last minute and the main reason I was reluctant to include it is the game’s apparent similarity to the forthcoming Prototype (see below).

Now I understand these two aren’t exactly the same but I do feel InFamous may not have the same impact as Prototype because the character is limited to a superpower based on electricity rather than a selection of powers.

Your character is called Cole, a man who not only survives a huge electrical explosion but actually gets powers from it. You’ll be chucking balls of electricity at enemies and using your electrical charge to glide through the air among other things.

Recent trailers & footage have hinted at some cool features and the good/bad karma angle seems interesting.

Graphically it looks great and it’s a PS3 exclusive so I suspect I’ll check it out at some stage depending on how much I enjoy the demo.

Prototype

Release Date: 09/06/09

Well it always seems the way – a style of game doesn’t get touched for ages then two come along at once.

I see absolutely no reason not to own both Prototype and InFamous if they are good enough. Both have a different story to tell and have been made by different people.

You play as Alex Mercer, waking up in the morgue and wondering what the hell is going on. You have no memory but luckily for you (not for everyone else ) you can absorb other people’s appearances and memory by killing them

And so the story begins as you try and piece together what the hell is going on and where your superpowers have appeared from.

Prototype seems to take itself less seriously than InFamous (performing an elbow drop on a tank ) so I’m not sure how the story will play out.

Either way I’ll be getting this when it comes out in the Summer.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Release Date: 09/06/09

I don’t think we’ve ever really had a great Batman game, although a friend vouches for Batman Begins, but Arkham Asylum looks like it could be something special.

Not restrained by being tied to a film the game has a level of freedom in design and story that isn’t often present in licensed games.

Basically Batman falls into the Joker’s trap by arresting him and taking him to the Asylum. The Joker escapes his chains and releases the inmates to take over the Asylum.

It’s up to Batman to punch, kick and batarang his way through.

It all looks great and the options for stealth or attack look pretty cool but I feel this one will come down to how they implement the control system.

Hopefully it’ll be easy enough to play and I’m looking forward to the demo, which should be with us in the next few weeks.

Red Faction

Release Date: 09/06/09

Another one that has crept into the list, Red Faction: Guerrilla makes an appearance based on how much fun the demo was.

I watched plenty of trailers and footage for this game without being overly impressed. The main selling point seemed to be the way everything destructs realistically and to me that wasn’t something of great interest – as long as it crumbles I don’t mind how it goes down.

But I’d underestimated how much fun it is to destroy things. Especially with an oversized hammer

Might be worth a rent before I decide whether to invest but I’ll be keeping an eye on the reviews for this one.

Ghostbusters

Release Date: 16/06/09

Well we’ve certainly waited long enough – after being dropped by Activision Ghostbusters is almost upon us.

From the footage I’ve seen this could be a great game and to be honest with the original cast and the sound effects of the proton pack, Ecto 1 etc it could be a re-skinned version of any generic third person shooter and I’d be happy.

As it is the game seems to be getting ok feedback, maybe just above average, and apparently the script and delivery are excellent.

As someone who grew up with the films and cartoon TV series a decent Ghostbusters game has been a long time coming.

My inner child cannot wait to fire up his proton pack and bust some ghosts

*sings On Our Own by Bobby Brown*

Call Of Juarez – Bound In Blood

Release Date: 30/06/09

And so we have the second of the Western themed games and this one seems a lot more linear and story driven than Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption (featured in Part Two).

You control two brothers and have the option to use either as you progress through the levels.

Both of them have different special abilties, one is great with long range weapons and the other can target multiple opponents before letting loose with both barrels.

I like the look of this and while the game looks to lack a degree of freedom I think that in some cases it’s nice to play a game and be led by the story.

Again one to check the demo first but a probable purchase.

Fight Night Round 4

Release Date: Summer 2009

I enjoyed Fight Night Round 3 but, quite frankly, it was just the PS2 version with shiny graphics.

This is a whole new game engine built from the ground up and based on physics.

It looks incredible and the movement of the fighters is much improved. Also the boxers can now get right up close, the ‘invisible wall’ from Round 3 has been removed.

The knockdowns are much better, the repetitive knockdown animation is gone and each knockdown will happen in real-time, which looks brilliant.

The roster has been increased and Lennox Lewis & Mike Tyson are both welcome inclusions.

This will be great to play with your mates and I should imagine online will be great (EA certainly does online very well) but I’m hoping for an extended career mode in single player.

A demo is pencilled in for mid May so it’s not long until we get a chance to try it out.

Alpha Protocol

Release Date: October 2009

Alpha Protocol is a spy-RPG (Role Playing Game), meaning effectively that you have a say in how your characters statistics develop through the game.

Want to be a crack shot? Level up your gun skills. How about a deadly weapon with your hands? Level up your martial arts skills.

You take control of an agent who is so deep under cover even your fellow agents don’t know about you. You get to mould his skills to suit your style of play as you go from location to location completing missions.

This game sounds like it could be really fun.

Added into the mix is what sounds like an excellent decision making mechanic whereby you are given three answers to choose from when asked a question but instead of sitting deliberating (“well if I say that x might happen but if I say y this might happen”) you get 5 seconds to answer or (I believe) it picks a passive answer for you.

It’s nice to see developers putting out games that don’t necessarily sit in one genre and I think Aplha Protocol could be an awesome story-based gaming experience.

M.A.G

Release Date: TBC 2009

MAG stands for Massive Action Game. It would have to be a pretty big game to actually label itself ‘Massive’ wouldn’t it?

Most games have 32 online players, there are a few that can support 64 players at a time. So what would constitute ‘Massive?’

80? 100? 150 surely? 200?!

Try 256. All human opponents. 128 players a side.
We are pretty much talking an actual war here and judging from the trailer above this could be great fun, complete chaos but fun nonetheless.

I’m interested to see if they can actually pull It off successfully. This could be the game SOCOM wanted to be.

Heavy Rain

Release Date: TBC 2009

Now this is an interesting one, Heavy Rain is aiming to be a whole new gaming experience – more interactive and filmic than ever before.

Very little is known about the story itself and several rumours have been flying around regarding gameplay etc

The most interesting of which is the idea that the story continues until the end regardless. If you die you don’t replay the level you switch to another (different) character and continue the story from their perspective.

If that’s true it sounds awesome. Regardless of the rumours the game is shaping up to be one of the best looking and innovative title that is on the horizon.

God Of War 3

Release Date: TBA (2009/10)

Do I need to write anything here?

Seriously it’s shaping up to top the previous two games, which is really saying something.

This is one of the jewels in Sony’s crown. Critically acclaimed and loved by gamers, the God Of War franchise is edging ever closer to it’s next-gen debut.

The footage above is obviously from a conference on a big screen but it still looks great – the movement of Kratos has obviously been improved and the the gameplay seems to flow better.

This will be massive and I cannot wait for it to arrive.

So there you have it – the first part of my most wanted games. I honestly don’t think there has been a better time to be a gamer – whether it’s on PS3, X-Box or Nintendo.

The scope, scale and production values on games is immense and there is a real value for money feel to most games nowadays, with almost all titles clocked in between 8 and 10 hours of gameplay in solo player campaigns. Not to mention multi-player.

Hope you enjoyed the list and Most Wanted - Part Two should be up next week.

Zipper Interactive, creators of the Socom series, has released the first ever HD gameplay trailer for their upcoming 256-player MMO Shooter MAG.

MAG is set to debut before mid 2010.

Enjoy.

Além da reportagem exclusiva sobre o novo Assassin’s Creed, a nova Game Informer também revelou detalhes do novo FPS massivo. Eu tô falando do jogo da Zipper Interactive, Massive Action Game. Essa maravilha, ainda sem data de lançamento, promete revolucionar os FPSs multiplayer.

O jogo disponibilizará combates de 2 até 256 pessoas! Isso é gente pra caramba. Mas antes que você olhe com cara de cético e diga “isso nunca vai rodar direito”, saiba que a produtora tem realizado testes fechados com números aproximados de 256 jogadores desde novembro de 2008, e tem planos para realizar betas fechados e abertos. Outra coisa, os efeitos de áudio que serão ouvidos durante a batalha serão reais, nada de efeitos sonoros com script. Só será possível ouvir o som de uma bomba, se alguém de fato lançar uma.

O jogo se passa daqui a 20 anos, quando três companias militares privadas disputam o poder. A primeira delas, cujo nome eu esqueci, agradará mais a parcela fã de Halo. Essa compania apresenta soldados altamente treinados e equipados. A segunda, chamada Sver, são os conhecidos soldados endurecidos pelas batalhas. Pena que nenhum detalhe foi revelado sobre a terceira.

Cenários gigantes para aguentarem 256 jogadores

Boa notícia para os fãs de FPS online, e especialmente para os fãs da Sony, já que o jogo vai ser exclusivo para o PS3.

fonte: That Videogame Blog

- All audio cues (planes flying by, air raid sirens) are actual players causing it or player triggered actions. – 20 years in future, 3 major PMCs bid for war. 3 Factions, only 2 announced now: Raven and Sver – 256 Domination mode. Attackers and defenders. Out layer of defense and inner layer.

MAG, an upcoming MMO Shooter by Sony Computer Entertainment, was first revealed at E3 2008. The only visuals of the game that the general gaming public has seen so far was the debut trailer shown off at Sony’s E3 2008 press conference.

Unveiled today, we now have more of a feel of what the game will look like, play like, and feel like when it is finally released. One of the interesting details that we can acquire from these new screens are that the game may feature both a first person mode, and a third person mode. Look towards Sony’s upcoming E3 2009 press conference for more details to be given(hopefully).

A first look at an overview of one of the maps featured in the game, this thing is huge.
