Massive Action Game ... PS3

Sorry for bringing this back to life.

I just downloaded the beta game which will be playable on servers from the 4th to the 10th of January 2010.
If any of you fancy a game around that time to see what this game has to offer - I and possibly Husar will be online testing this baby.

It is a rather big download - ~300MB + 37MB + ~1800MB

Willing to take a try, add 'Mylittlepwny'. I hope they can make this work, it worked for Planetside. I am a little bit worried though, Resistance 2 has 64 player on one map, with teamgames there is really no difference between 64 or 16 as you are really only just being on the same map, it really are 4 team games at the same time.

Coincidentally, an article on MAG just showed up today on Kotaku.

hmmmm.......they weren't too specific with how the servers will handle it.......

i might get it. my birthday is in april, so i'll have a few months to read reviews and watch videos before i need to decide if i want it or not.

like it said though, most people are still playing some of the other juggernaut titles that just came out, like modern warfare 2, assassins creed 2, left 4 dead 2. and it is going to be eclipsed by the new juggernauts coming out around its time frame: Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Army of 2 40 day....

but i hope that lots of people will still be playing. i can tell you that far more than 256 people are online on halo 1 pc multiplayer at any given time, and thats an understatement.

That article made the game seemed interesting but doomed. It (apparently) has a creative solution to the lag problem, some interesting features (a slower shooter on that scale? intriguing) but it's being released to low popularity on Mass Effect 2 Day. The only upshot of that is that it'll probably build a small but loyal community that's necessary for team and cooperation based gameplay.

This is one of the games that might make me buy a console, eventually.

The BIG DAY is tomorrow!!!

Download the MAG beta client from the US store. Sony will be hosting 256 player games from 1 PM (GMT) and until the 10th of January.

Personally I will not be able to play until the kids are in bed tomorrow night (around 8 PM) as it is a regular work day.
