What is MAG?

I am unfamiliar with the acromym.

MAG (Massive Action Game) is the new PS3 exclusive shooter just announce at E3.

Up to 256 players online at the same time.

in my humble opinion, MAG for sure. I hate the FF games, to be honest if m$ had EXCLUSIVE rights to it, i wouldn't care. and before i get flamed for being an fps-head, i kind of like rpgs, i just prefer mine with a little bit of real time action, like oblivion or morrowind, and dare i say it, to a lesser extent, fable even.

I think you're all overestimating MAG. Playing with awfuls and random people online is so frustrating. Nobody communicates and the players are just terribad. You get AFKs, idiots who can't aim, campers, and it might just turn out to be a giant zerg. I prefer small battles with clans or people I know. I don't want to sit there watching morons fail to follow the basic rules of a game. Have you ever seen a mass capture the flag? People play it just like a deathmatch.

Summary- people are dumb, bad at games, and giant zergs of 250 people is going to be awful.

256 max ... doesnt mean u cant run a 60 vs. 60 or something. Some clans have that many members.

EDIT: The option in the poll is wrong. "We" didn't lose anything. FF is still coming to the PS3, it's just also going to the Xbox.

yes we did. We lost exclusivity... which I forgot to type in and posted it as lost it!

Best news is hard for me, God of War III is fantastic news PS3's line up easily being the most impressive. Dissappointed by the Wii's announcements..

the wii had announcements? Here is my take on it which I am sure no one will read any way.

The FF 13 news: That was MIND BLOWING! But I didn't vote for it. Why? Because as long as I still get it for my PS 3 it doesn't matter that much to me.

MAG: Why did I vote for it? I'm not that much of a multiplayer guy. BUT! I voted for it cause HUGE! IT's a game that will have to harness all of the PS3.

the Wii proudly announed they neede a better motion detection!!! huzzah for them admitting they lied to all customers with their "perfect motion detection that allows you to do movement and see them on screen"!!!

[doctorD]

I guess my thoughts are yes I am surprised a little by the FF13 announcement but not that surprised. It's been rumored over and over and that alone should have let people know that M$ was probably behind the scene throwing $$$ at another Sony supporter. I call this M$ vs. Sony Scene 2...Scene 1 was the obvious.

Anyhoot, I've never played FF13 but do realize and understand the importance to supporters. With that being said, it is pretty obvious M$ needed this more than anything because they knew this game would sale a ton of PS3's. They really didn't show anything else that wasn't known at their conference and actually didn't have anything new or original to show. In some ways, I call it a ripoff conference for them...Avatar's ripped from wii, Ins rip of Sing Star and obviously $$$ to rip exclusive from PS3. They have deeeeeeep pockets and have shown they will use them to try and get what they want. As many have said, don't be surprised if you see more happening.

With that being said, Square E still supports PS3 and probably know they have upset a lot of their fans by this. I would say not to worry about the PS3 version being dummied down...it probably won't be.

I forgot to say that I'm glad to see that Sony is still bringing something new to the table and that is why I voted for MAG!

I am biased towards MAG, more of my type of game.

Neither of these games is going to hit until 2010 (at least in the States). By that time it will be obvious which console will be in 2nd this gen. This will change nothing. MS will be launching a new console within the next 12 months, by the time the 360 gets FFXIII and by the time MAG or FFXIII comes out we will have seen stuff out of the new MS console that blows it all away.

Sony will launch there console in late 2012/ early 2013.

I voted MAG cause FFXIII is not that big a deal to me. Sure it won't help Sony as much. But we STILL HAVE IT! And it is highly likely it will look better on the PS3 anyways.
MAG is exciting... 256, the logistics of it... this really intrigues me.

12 months for a new xbox? your kidding your self pal. It will NOT be in the next twelve months! SOMETHING would have been hinted at. Although the next two to three years that is very possible. look for an announcement at next years E3.

[stockstar1138]

Sony needs to expand its 1st party charcters and IPs, anything 3rd party has about a 95% chance now of being multi-plat.

you read it wrong, there will be a next xbox within 12 months of FFXIII coming out for the 360.

here is my time line

E3 09: MS unveils new Xbox
E3 10: MS shows footage of next-gen Xbox games
Fall 10: FFXIII hits the states.

it all depends what it has to offer.

If it is a great machine, Im not going to miss out on it simply because it is a Microsoft product.

Due to RROD I will wait at least 6 months to a year before picking one up, just to make sure realibilty is up to par. It probably will not have very many decent games til then either (most new consoles don't) and MS might drop the original price a little.

I will absoltuely not buy the new Xbox though if it does not have an optical disc drive.
