Split-screen.com: "Hilariously enough, as soon as the Killzone 2 release hype has died down, it's the turn of Massive Action Game (MAG) to be touted the new hipster on the block. It's funny how the tide keeps changing but it's also amazing how a title that was literally a blip on the gaming map some six months ago is now being dissected and conversed about like it's the next killer app for the Playstation 3. Sooner or later, it'll become blasphemous to say anything against MAG so now seems as good a time as any to criticize it.
"If Sony is hoping the main hook for this game will be the number of people it can support online, it can quietly can it and do so quickly. Sony isn't intentionally or unintentionally creating a subliminal connection that says, 'Well , maybe the gameplay is no good. Hit 'em up with numbers!' Yet after checking out the features, MAG seems like another run-of-the-mill military themed FPS."
Zipper Interactive were once one of Sony's most important studios and became a household name due to their work on the SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs series during the PlayStation 2's heyday. Their most ambitious title was MAG. Could it make a comeback?
Best game ever. I had put over 1700hrs into that game before it deteriorated too far with cheaters getting out of the map and sadly decided it was time to let it die (Zipper had already been closed down by that time).
This is a game that was ahead of its time. Had it came out on PS4 it would've done much better. I put hundreds of hours into this despite the problems it had on PS3.
Yes, yes, and yes. Way ahead of it's time. Would love to see a PS5 variant of this game.
Erina Rose, Sausage Roll writes, "Call of Duty: Modern War introduced a new, improved, Ground War game mode this weekend that reminds us of the old PlayStation 3 classic, MAG."
Seriously though. Nowadays this and next gen are practically begging for a new MAG.
How did we go from having games like resistance 1, 2, warhawk with 30 vs 30 player battles, and M.A.G. with 128 vs 128 players, ON LAST GEN to now having 20 vs 20...such a step back.
Almost 10 years ago the greatest first person shooter came out and most of you probably never heard of it, never got to play it and never will.
Was such an underrated game. One of my most favorite fps of last gen. So unfortunate zipper was closed down. Imagine if it was a success and thered be a 2nd game by now.....
I can think of many better games that I've yet to play...
"Almost 10 years ago the greatest first person shooter came out"
HAH. So is Planetside 2 now the best FPS ever? Because it does everything MAG can and does it far better. I'm afraid that MAG is basically your standard FPS but uses scale as it's selling point. The vast majority of shooters that focus on smaller scale matches have gameplay leaps and bounds better than MAG so it is definitely not the greatest FPS.
I know many people are going to try and refute this by telling me to look at the three factions but MAG has literally no character. The game is call 'Massive. Action. Game' for gods sake which is a contender for 'The Worst Title a Game Could Have' award. I've never been a fan of Zipper but I hear great things about them from their PS2 days. However, with MP gaining popularity in the generation that followed I think it says a lot that they couldn't keep up with the competition.
Loved mag had over 1700hrs into it across many accounts, remember my first 100 kill sabotage game, was insane
Game was simply ahead of its time. If mag came out now with improved graphics people would be blown away. Back then people whined about the graphics even though it had players literally everywhere. It was several great games in one. Battlefield, Ghost Recon, and Call of duty.
Guess some people dont like waiting for E3.
"Hilariously enough, as soon as the Killzone 2 release hype has died down, it’s the turn of Massive Action Game (MAG) to be touted the new hipster on the block."
To me that just screams
"Whaa why does the PS3 have to have so many good games WHAAA"
Edit: Sony has planned to show MAG to the media later this month,
"....so now seems as good a time as any to criticize it."
Proof from the author himself that his story has absolutely no value.
we have seen only some pics from the PC-version nothing more, and the game is hyped too, but its Ok its a360 exclusiv. Double morals mmh
they can get this game right is if they force people into squads and give each individual squad a different mission on the map with like a location point on the map or something. The gameplay has to be tactical as well and the physics have to be good like the recoils, movement, accuracy fallof, and etc.
Above all it must have full customization of weapons. Im talking silencers, scopes, single/semi/automatic switch options for assault riffles, and etc.
"There's giving out info and there's hyping your game when you've got nothing to show for it."
