E3 08: New IP MAG promises epic online battles

Developer Zipper debuts multiplayer-centric shooter with up to 256 players on PS3

Sony has announced a brand new PS3 title from SOCOM developer Zipper called MAG – Massive Action Game – that will boast an astonishing 256 players online.

The claims are far in excess of anything ever seen before not only on console but also on PC, and could in theory revolutionise the way we think about online shooters.

Built on the success of the SOCOM series, which enjoys great popularity in the US, gameplay will see players break off into teams of eight, but taking part in massive large-scale battle.

More on this as and when we get it.

If this is what Sony said its a hilarious lie.

If this is MCV's words get your facts right.

Go look up Planetside and re-write the part about these battles bveing larger than anything on the pc :)
