Additonal Info:
Although it's fairly early on in the development cycle, if MAG can produce graphics on par with those displayed in the screenshot below whilst providing a stable connection for up to 256 players, that would be beyond amazing. Fortunately, Zipper seems up to the challenge. I present the first real-time screenshot from Massive Action Game.

So here's what this screenshot reveals about MAG. As hinted on in the CG trailer, players will be able to drop out aircrafts and parachute to safety. Obviously, they can be shot down while doing so, as the opposing squad here is attempting to do. The screen also leads me to believe that there won't be a cover system. If you take a look at the guy on the right, he doesn't quite seem 'attached' to the wall. This is just a guess though - I'll try to niggle some official details on that from Zipper soon.
Tech-wise, the lighting and shadowing systems look spot on. If you again glance on the combatant of the right side of the screenshot, his shadow looks soft yet accurate on the wall beside him. In the background, the building seems to reflect the hazy color of the vivid sky.
MAG is scheduled for release exclusively for the PlayStation 3 sometime in 2009.

Im gonna be 99.9% sure there wont be a cover system which is good thing becuase of how well the socom games in the past played without one.
But for a first screen it looks really great.
psn id: gingo... i definitely think this could be the next socom game but they will avoid announcing it until after confrontation is released
wow are you serious?
totally cool!!!!
wow and more wowing, my god can the ps3 games get any better. we have to praise the lord for sony. i am so getting this game.
This is a buy already! But, why 2009? I want it now!
no one give a bit of hype about this game.
then and only then will it be released in 2009.
and it might be reviewed better. Just saying.... that's how it goes. We hype exclusives. they come out a year later or so, and come coupled with a crappy review.
yeah, and lack of hype gets them less money from Sony...
looks good : )
chicka chicka 256 playa's yeah!!
yeah it looks really fantastic and yes this in game on the ps3 go check it out on the ps blog its like an upgraded version of cod4, in terms of graphics
Early in the development cycle? Id say year 3 out of 4 is pretty damn far in (assuming it comes out in '09).
Looks slick though. So far this is a day 1 buy for me.
Wow that really is impressive now I know about that online aspect but will it also have a campaign that'll deliver?
Think there is cover system, or i hope there is. Anyways i dont think it will be the kind of game that puts much effors to what single player can do in terms of movements and tactic, but more like squad based action to the next level game.
gameplay videoooooooooooooooooooo
MAG is online only
So now I wonder Is Zipper still working on the next Socom singleplayer game? this HAS to be taking up huge resources in the company to develop... and it's gotta be a headache for those making the multiplayer Socom game too because it's like their game will be obsolete so soon.
This is shaping up to be a pretty good titleIm going to download the demo if avaliable. The whole 256 player thing is going to be insane I can't wait.
looking fantastic, as long as there are 256 players on one map- kick the laggers and high pingers and we should be good to go. As long as the classes got some growth aspects and upgrades this will be a lead title in its own genre Massive Action Games
Hmm ... Warhawk already sucked me in for over 300 hrs so far ... what on earth's this gonna do to my mind?
I hope theres no cover system. If there was one in socom it would of made camping so much more worse.
It meant to be a TPS, but it looks like a SOCOm type of game however having 256 players is pretty alot and going to be carnage.
Gonna buy if it continues to bring the goods.
I wonder how they'll do the massive 256 players in this game...
:]
Are you serious? That CAN'T be an in-game screenshot. No way. No way!
That looks pretty amazing, i thought it would look like turd
bon chikiwawa.lol
@19 - I don't think this is the kind of game that will have a demo
niggle?
you're sick.
I'm really exited about this game, but I'm not gonna get too excited. They can make great graphics, and make it where you can play 256 players online, but they can easily make the mistake so many potentially great shooters have made in the past and not figure out how to make it fun. By making it fun I mean, not die as soon as you spawn, it doesn’t take a million shots to kill people, it doesn’t turn into a massive nade war, the sides are even on all maps, etc. I mean, I love nice graphics, but a game should be fun and playable first before you worry about graphics. Slapping some glitter on a turd might make it look prettier than it already is, but it's still a turd. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not putting down the game before they’ve barely even started on it, I’m just trying to keep everyone grounded. They said they’re breaking people into squads, so hopefully that will help it be more fun and prevent some of the gameplay issues a huge game like this might cause. BTW, is this gonna be a first person shooter, a third person shooter, or both?
Make it happen zipper. It look promising. And I see it makeing big. Sony support these guys and when this game drop, buy all rights to what they have.

@ EFFORTLESS8
Why does the word "niggle" make him sick? You know what the word means?
If they wanna show us "In-Game" screens, let's see the HUD and the real point of view from the players perspective. Don't piss on my leg and tells me it's raining. HAHA.
P.S. Keep EA away from this game.
This game has a great chance of being GAME OF THE YEAR in 2009...I LOVE MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER GAMES = 256 YEAH BOY...
goodbye cod4,5, and 6, maybe 7, 8,9 too
@ CrapFactory
"Dont piss on my leg..."?
you're sick.
"Don't piss on my leg, and tell me it's rainning."
Best saying ever.
