SCEA hardware marketing chief John Koller has claimed that MAG, Zipper Interactive's upcoming action game of admittedly epic proportions, is possible only on the PS3. Here's Koller talking to VG247: 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. Sony's still keeping the lid tight on MAG, but Koller was able to talk a bit about its gameplay, likening it to a SOCOM iteration in the sense that "you’re maybe commanding the SEALs, and someone else has the Rangers, and the Green Berets, and so on." MAG is still slated for release later this year. Keep checking back here for more updates. Related articles:

This game looks crazy!!! (in a good way)
should be one hell of a game.
in my opinion...256 players is quite alot...but i guess thats what's gonna make this game challenging

I want to see it in action as well. I also want to know whether it's gonna be FPS or TPS. If the gameplay is good, I won't care what perspective it's in.

» Similar to SOCOM
SOCOM is a First person shooter but also has a third person view, maybe this will be the same.

Socom is a third person shooter but has first person view. There is a difference.

» ya...
the only time you go into "first person" view is when you zoom in with a scope...
Also, there is a trailer for this game out already, although it's kind of a theatrical hype trailer...
I'd say this can't be done on 360 because XBL limits games to 16 player....this wants to have 256 players online...

If it's third person I might be tempted to give it a go but if it's a tacked on third person view like ya get in Fallout 3 and Oblivion I'll probably pass. They always look just lazy and fake when compared to true third person games like Uncharted and God of War.

No wonder slant 6 did Socom Confrontation, Zipper is working on this. I'm actually interested now.

I'm getting tired of hearing "only possible on the ps3." If a game like Grand Theft Auto 4 was exclusive to ps3, there is no doubt in my mind it would have "only been possible on ps3."
I'm not saying I don't like exclusives though, there just isn't much of a point in saying it for every single exclusive ps3 game, even LBP.
/end rant
I'm looking forward to MAG. I'm a little scared at how large they're making this game, hope they can pull it off.

I just hope they don't screw up the game. This has potential, but it goes both ways. So I'm going to wait for more trailers and reviews of this game before I attempt to buy it
