Holy shit if that's the case. That's like BF2 except times like 5 or something. Not bad I guess. I resign my earlier comment IF that's what they mean by 256 people. -------------------- Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||||

Yes, that'd be it. Battlefield x4 on the PS3. Two teams of 128 vs 128 with the options for eight player squads Battlefield-style. Also, here's an E3 interview with a Zipper representative I posted on Youtube discussing the game: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-iuaO2W4wVM -------------------- | ||||||||

Well that's just pretty damn awesome. My brother has a PS3 but never uses it and also never lets me in his room to play. So I'll probably have to wait for the game to come to PC or another game that is like that, which I'm sure will come around. -------------------- Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||||

Doubt it, as much as I <3 my 360, something like this could only be possible on the PS3 at this point. Computers are susceptible to the killer of online gaming, LAG, and the xbox just couldn't handle something that massive. The PS3 is where this one will stay for a while. Oh well! -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=-  W I N N I N G | ||||||||

What do you mean? Computer are equally as powerful as PS3's. It's really an issue of whether you have the video card to run this. All you need is a 8600 or better. And 8600's are about $120-160. -------------------- Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | It's already been confirmed a PS3 exclusive though, so that's that. As far as anything similar coming on the PC, there really isn't one I can think of. There is Huxley, which is a up-and-coming shooter that will support like 200 players, but it's pretty low-budget and probably won't end up that good. Battlefield 3, though not officially announced, is set to release in 2009, and it's already confirmed by leaked documents to support just 80 players. So for the time being, MAG seems like one of a kind. Looks like you'll have to beat up your brother for that PS3  -------------------- | ||||||||

Huxley is gonna be mad amazing, I don't know what you're saying. It's gonna be one of its kind. An MMOFPS (although RPG style, customize your weapons and usable vehicles(mounts). Not to mention its been in the making for 5 years, and most games that have been in the making for 5 years end up being killer. -------------------- Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||||

And the servers it runs on will have to be massive, you wont be able to host a game on a PS3 (Halo/CoD style). -------------------- | ||||||||

Doesn't really change the fact that it's a low-budget title though  If things would have gone smoothly, it would have been out a long time ago. Instead it's been delayed with no official announcements regarding it, and it the past two or three years I've known about the game, there's been next to nothing as far as any kind of new info or anything. -------------------- | ||||||||

Doesn't immediately look like it sacrificed too much on the graphics side at least. And dozens of people para-dropping behind enemy lines = epic. -------------------- | ||||||||

From what my mate told me resistance fall of man was laggy enough on 32 players. I doubt a first time game is gonna pay for the super servers that would be needed to make it run half smooth -------------------- | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | It'll be fine, they wouldn't announce it if it didn't work. Resistance 1 did not lag at all with 32. If it was with your friend, it's because he had a bad connection. Besides that, Resistance 2 is coming out in a few months, which will support 60 players. As far as MAG goes, utilizing Zipper's own technology, Zipper's experience with (online) games, the capabilities of the PS3*, and the use of dedicated servers (like an mmo), the game should turn out fine. Plus Zipper made a small post on the Playstation blog a few weeks ago and did make a statement telling the people who are worrying...well, not to worry .*It's been stated that no game on the PS3 as of yet has even used close to 100% of the system's power. -------------------- | ||||||||
